Chapter 718: Chapter 718 Continue Research
Meanwhile, Dr. Carl had calmed down. He flicked his sleeves, laid down the law, and said, “I’m going to continue my research; none of you are allowed to disturb me in the laboratory!”
After his declaration, he hurriedly rushed into the laboratory.
Luo Mengmeng watched his retreating figure and couldn’t help but ask, “The doctor is pushing himself so hard, can his body really handle it?”
In the two days she had been working there, she had seen Dr. Carl lock himself in the lab day and night, relentlessly pursuing his research without rest or proper meals.
“Who can control him!” Lirui sighed and shook her head.
A moment later, Mengmeng heard her suddenly ask, “Do you know why Dr. Carl is so obsessed with the research on this disease?”
“Why?” Luo Mengmeng of course had no idea of the reason, and her curiosity was piqued at once.
Lirui sighed again, “Dr. Carl once had a daughter, but unfortunately, she was a congenital carrier of this disease. There was no cure at that time, so the child passed away before her first birthday. Since then, Dr. Carl has been dedicated to developing a drug to combat this disease, to prevent his tragedy from happening in another family.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Mengmeng was stunned.
She had originally thought that Dr. Carl was just a researcher, but he too had a painful past.
It seemed that they were bound by a shared fate.
No, at least now her child was safe and beside her.
But…
If a new drug wasn’t developed, her Sanbao could only be with her for three more years at most.
Just three years, how could that be enough?
Luo Mengmeng’s mood plummeted instantly, her fists clenched tight. No matter what, she had to give it her all!
In the following days, Luo Mengmeng read every book about the disease she could find in the research institute.
In the beginning, she was truly slow, spending a long time understanding just a single term, but later on, it was as if a lightbulb went off, and she easily grasped the meanings of these words and phrases.
Dr. Carl, seeing her progress, began to slowly let her join him in his scientific research.
One day, Dr. Carl suddenly said to Mengmeng, “Are you interested in pursuing graduate studies at Q University?”
“Me?” Luo Mengmeng, who was at the microscope, immediately looked up, glanced at Dr. Carl, then pointed to herself.
“There are only two people here, if I’m not talking about you, whom am I talking to?” Dr. Carl threw her an exasperated glance.
Luo Mengmeng felt embarrassed for a moment.
“Would you like to go?” Dr. Carl asked again, adding, “Q University is the most renowned medical school in our country. It’s filled with the top doctors, mentors, and talented individuals in the industry. Studying there would be very beneficial for you.”
Otherwise, with her current qualifications and experience, she could at best be an assistant and not truly engage in virus research.
“I’ll go!” Thinking of improving herself, Mengmeng didn’t hesitate to accept.
Given such a great opportunity, she naturally had no reason to refuse.
“You’ve made a very smart decision,” Dr. Carl smiled faintly, “I will contact my former mentor right away to take you under his wing.”
“Thank you, Dr. Carl.” Luo Mengmeng didn’t expect him to arrange everything so thoughtfully and kept thanking him.
Dr. Carl shook his head, “There’s no need to thank me. I just see in you the same relentless spirit that I had back in the day.”
At that time, to save his gravely ill daughter, he too spent all his days in the laboratory searching for a solution.
Now, Luo Mengmeng was just too similar to him back then.
That was also why he had decided to keep Luo Mengmeng around.
