Before going to the hospital, Serena first visited the research institute. When she arrived, Bianca Everett was already in the lab.
Seeing Serena, Bianca paused in her work, took off her gloves, and spoke in a calm voice, "The chip is all right. You can rest assured."
"Hmm."
Serena nodded, trusting his professional skills, and turned to leave the institute to rush to the hospital to see Academician Miller.
"Wait..."
Bianca caught up with her, took off his mask, his expression sowhat serious.
"What’s up?" Serena lazily looked up at him, her long straight legs casually bent.
Facing the girl’s beautiful, upward-tilting fox-like eyes, Bianca couldn’t help but be distracted. Just the eyes were already captivating, one could only imagine what kind of stunning beauty lay hidden under the mask.
Last night, in a hurry to repair the chip, he didn’t get a good look at her, and the inexplicable familiarity in his heart grew stronger.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Bianca in a daze, Serena frowned slightly.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Bianca finally ca back to his senses, his ears slightly flushed. He had never lost composure like this before...
He coughed lightly, suppressing the inexplicable feeling, "I just wanted to remind you that you’re still young, don’t be deceived by the sweet talk of so older n! And don’t be too close with them, be mindful of your boundaries..."
"What’s it to you?"
Serena disliked being lectured by others, especially by soone who was essentially a stranger she had t only once, her tone was cold, arrogant and forceful.
"It’s none of your business."
Bianca was left speechless, stunned on the spot.
Leaving those words, Serena didn’t even bother looking at him, and walked away from the institute without turning back.
Watching the girl’s departing figure, Bianca’s temple throbbed with anger, pressing his eyebrows hard, clearly vexed.
No good deed goes unpunished! He was worried she was too young and could be sweet-talked by so old n, kindly warning her, yet she was so ungrateful!
If he ddled in her affairs again, he’d be a fool!!!
The entire institute witnessed this scene. Though they didn’t hear what Bianca and Serena said, knowing Serena could ruffle the consistently calm and indifferent Third Young Master to this extent, a feud was surely forged between them!
In the future, the two might not get along at all...
Serena, with a cold and exquisite porcelain-white face, had just walked out of the institute when she received a call from Steven Everett.
"Serena, Second Brother just finished a mission and returned to the barracks, only to hear you were urgently back in Imperia. How’s everything going? If you need any help, just tell Second Brother!"
Listening to Steven’s tone full of concern, Serena’s heart ward slightly. Thinking of the DY Organization’s deeds, her eyes turned icy, flashing a hint of murderous intent.
"No, Second Brother, I can handle this myself."
"Alright, Serena, if you need anything, just tell Second Brother!" Steven didn’t press further, "Serena, not only did you protect the classified docunts for the troops this ti, but you also caught a spy, Second Brother really owes you big ti!"
Serena curved her red lips, "Second Brother, we’re family, no need to be so formal."
"Right, right, Serena you’re right. We’re family, no need for such formality!"
Hearing this, Steven was delighted, revealing a big smile, looking nothing like a hardened soldier!
"By the way, Serena, Class 1’s little rascals heard you were back in Imperia, and they miss you!"
Serena: "I’ll visit them when I have ti."
"Great!" Steven laughed heartily on the other end, "Those little rascals would be thrilled to know."
"By the way, I heard Third Brother returned, Serena. Ever since he was young, his temperant was cold, not fond of talking nor good at it. If he angers you, just tell Second Brother, I’ll go scold him to vent your anger!"
Third Brother is back?
Serena blinked lightly, becoming sowhat curious about the Third Brother she hadn’t t.
"Hmm, got it, Second Brother."
Steven didn’t say much else, considering apart from his lack of verbal skills, Third Brother had no faults and would surely take care of his sister!
"Serena, Second Brother will be away for a while; now that Third Brother is back, make sure you don’t forget about Second Brother just because you have Third Brother with you!"
Detecting the jealousy in Steven’s tone, Serena expertly soothed him.
"I won’t, Second Brother’s kindness towards is deeply etched in my heart."
Sure enough, hearing this, Steven felt incredibly comforted, his smile blossoming further.
After hanging up, Serena arrived at the hospital.
As soon as Academician Miller saw her, his pale complexion brightened a bit, "Serena, you’re here!"
"Hmm, Grandpa Miller, how are you feeling?"
Seeing the concern on Serena’s face, Academician Miller smiled at her, "Much better, Serena, don’t worry about ! I heard you and Bianca repaired the chip overnight; with the chip successfully fixed, I can rest easy!"
That chip holds the dedication of everyone in the institute, and the money spent on it is no small amount. If anything happened to the chip, everything would be lost!
Serena: "Grandpa Miller, you should focus on recovery during this ti, I’ll handle the institute’s matters."
Academician Miller nodded, fully trusting her, "With Serena in charge of the institute, I have no worries!"
Serena chatted with Academician Miller for a few more monts and personally supervised him taking his dicine before leaving.
"Academician Miller, Miss Everett and Third Young Master are both outstanding talents in the younger generation of the research field. Now that Third Young Master has returned, who do you plan to pass your position to?" asked an assistant, unable to contain their curiosity.
"They are both my most admired young talents!" Academician Miller openly showed his admiration for Serena and Bianca, "I’ll be happy with either taking my position!"
If forced to choose one, he would ultimately pick Serena. Although Bianca was equally excellent, Serena’s talent was unmatched!
The pity is that Serena doesn’t want to inherit his position!
As they spoke, a gentle knock sounded at the door.
Bianca politely knocked before entering, his tone respectful.
"Teacher, how’s your health?"
"Much better than yesterday!" Academician Miller smiled at him, "Serena just left a mont ago, and here you are, I don’t know whether to call it coincidence or not!"
Hearing Serena’s na, Bianca’s lips tightened imdiately, "Teacher, don’t ntion her to ."
Academician Miller saw his look and knew imdiately that the two must have quarreled, piquing his interest.
He knew Bianca’s character better than anyone; deeply committed to research with little ti for anything else. Rarely was sothing or soone able to stir his emotions, yet now he was arguing with Serena, how odd!
