Claire walked over. “It’s them. This case for the consultation is pretty unusual. Our research group is being formed specifically because of cases like this.

“Professor Wilcourt and Professor Sommers are our technical support. You’ve taken pharmacology as an elective, but I’m sure you’ve never studied clinical medicine. If you run into anything you don’t understand during research, just ask Professor Wilcourt directly.”
“That’s amazing. Josie lit up, looking like she’d just hit the jackpot. “Feels like I just got myself two extra mentors. Total win!”
Delilah let out a small laugh. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. My team’s short on people, and you just happened to major in cytology.
“That’s the only reason I made an exception for you. But if you can’t pass my assessment, I’m still not signing off your internship file.”
“I’ll pass for sure.” Josie sounded completely certain of her choice.
Delilah stood up and walked off. “Let’s go. I’ll show you our lab.
Claire grabbed her documents and followed. Josie was about to leave too when Sean yanked her sleeve.
Sean warned, “Remember what you said. If you dare betray Professor Delilah, I’ve got plenty of ways to make sure you won’t survive in this field.”
“Only make sure I can’t survive in this field?” Josie pulled her sleeve back with a smirk. “If someone betrays me, I’ll make sure they wish they were dead.”
Sean froze, staring at the girl running off, and suddenly burst out laughing. He felt like he’d just uncovered a massive secret.
The next day, Josie returned to campus.
As soon as she stepped into her dorm, Adeline grabbed her, eager to spill the latest gossip. “Did you have a fight with Aiden and the others? The school forum’s blowing up, saying you’re quitting Professor Lawson’s team.”
Josie shook her head. “No fight. But quitting the team? That’s true.”
“What?” Adeline looked at her like she’d lost her mind. “People would kill to get into Professor Lawson’s team, and you’re just walking away like it’s nothing? What’s going on in that head of yours?”
Josie smiled but didn’t explain. “Don’t you guys have class soon? If you don’t leave now, you’ll be late.”
“You’ve got class too. Adeline stuffed her books into her bag and dragged Josie toward the door. “Talk on the way.”
Josie pulled her hand free. “I’m not attending the courses I picked before. I switched majors.”
So no, Josie didn’t have class.
“What?” Adeline’s jaw almost hit the floor. “You’re a senior. Who switches majors in their senior year? Do you not want to graduate?”
“I do.” Josie patted her backpack. “That’s why I’m self-studying. I’ll just take the final exams at the end of the semester.”
‘As long as I passed the exams, I’d earn the credits. It wouldn’t affect my graduation, Josie thought.
Seeing the time, Adeline couldn’t press further. She just sighed in awe. “Warrior. You’ve got guts, Josie.”

After the dorm emptied out. Josie pulled out a stack of acupuncture textbooks
Claire had recommended them, from beginner guides to advanced materials. Afraid she wouldn’t understand, Claire had even sent her Delilah’s recorded lectures for free.
Josie was so touched she almost cried. Back when she first started learning David’s lectures, she often got confused. She’d tried to find video replays but came up empty-handed.
When she asked David in private, Josie got a scolding. His exact words were: “Do you know how valuable my lectures are? You think you can just watch them whenever you want?
“You don’t pay attention in class, and now you want free videos afterwards? Who do you think you are? If you really want to learn, go pay for it. Only when you spend money will you know how to value it.”
David even claimed it was for their own good. Thinking back, Josie felt like an idiot for believing that nonsense.
Now Josie realized David didn’t care about teaching at all. Everything he did was for money.
David had even lost the basic decency of a teacher, let alone care about answering students’ questions sincerely.
