Chapter: 1472

In talking with Norah, Hertha discovered that the Wilson family was quite stable financially. They even owned a business. She inquired, “Why pursue medicine? Wouldn't it be easier to just manage the family business?"

"I'm not interested in business management. My father enjoys it, so he's better suited for it." Norah smiled.

She had long ago figured out the goals she was passionate about pursuing.

Bainbridge nodded. “Everyone has their own aspirations. I'm not into business management either. I prefer creating medicines. Right now, I'm working with my advisor to develop a new drug for heart disease. If it works, it could help patients globally."

Roseanne interjected skeptically, "Don't get ahead of yourself. Hasn't your advisor been trying to develop that for years without any success?"

Bainbridge blushed. His thesis topic was full of potential, yet he had boasted about heart disease medicine merely to impress.

His advisor had admitted that despite years of research, they had yet to see any outcomes. Bainbridge knew better than to commit to a project that risked his graduation.

He hissed, “Do you think developing medicine is simple? Even after it's developed, it still has to go through clinical trials. It's quite complex."

Roseanne retorted, “You know it's complicated, yet you still boast. Aren't you worried about embarrassing yourself?"

As Bainbridge and Roseanne argued, Braden and Hertha observed, indicating that they shared a close bond.

Norah thoughtfully stroked her chin. Bainbridge had talked about the lab and his project. He was now working on his thesis.

It seemed to align with her future plans. If she opened a hospital, having a unique medical offering could be a strong selling point.

Norah narrowed her eyes, considering a potential collaboration on the medicine.

Bainbridge caught her intense gaze and shivered, saying, “Norah, why are you looking at me like that?"

“Nothing. "

Norah looked at Bainbridge as though he were an interesting research subject, her expression still gentle.

Bainbridge rubbed the back of his neck, feeling uneasy.

All four were quite intrigued by Norah. Roseanne even invited her to see her university.

Bainbridge invited her to his laboratory, and Norah accepted all their invitations.

The Frazier family members embraced Norah as truly one of their own, unlike the distant approach of the Wilson family.

Soon, Caylee approached to fetch Norah.

“Your grandfather is seldom lucid these days. Norah, please come with me to see him."

Recognizing her familial duty, Norah accompanied Caylee to the room.

Bernice's eyes were rimmed with red, having cried, and Huntley was passing her tissues. The exact details of their previous conversation were unknown, but it had moved them all to tears, including Caylee.
