Andrea said, "Yes, pure coincidence. My senior from university works at the hospital where she's staying. She told me an hour ago."
Ruth understood her daughter's intention. "Last time, Kaia embarrassed you in front of those senior professors, ruining their impression of you. So now you want to prove to Dr. Bennett that you're not what they think, and maybe let her see your talent for herself?"
Andrea looped her arm through her mother's. "You know me best, Mom."
Lincoln frowned. "I'm worried it might backfire. What if Dr. Bennett dislikes you because of those professors? Then… I'm afraid it could implicate our whole family."
Andrea replied, "Dad, don't worry. My senior says she's lucky enough to be Dr. Bennett's nurse and has chatted with her a bit. She says Dr. Bennett is very approachable, without any airs. She's easy to get along with."
She added, "And besides, if she can become a giant in the scientific community, she must be clear-headed and fair-minded. She'll know the professors misunderstood me."
Andrea was confident.
Lincoln replied, "As long as you're confident, then make sure you present yourself well in front of her."
Andrea smiled. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad."

Kaia was sitting up in her hospital bed, wearing patient clothes, surrounded by senior professors from the institute. Joel, who stood with his arms crossed, looked worried.
A professor said, "Dr. Bennett. How should I put it? At work, you and I have a superior-subordinate relationship, but in my heart, I treat you like my granddaughter. So listen to me. Your health is the foundation of everything. For your own sake, for us old fellows, and for the whole of Wustriland, you must take care of yourself."
"Professor Munoz is right! You don't know how terrified we were when we saw you faint, like the pillar of our team had suddenly been removed."
Elderly people love to nag. And once they latch onto something, they'll repeat it endlessly. By now, Kaia had heard these same words at least three times.
"I understand," she said, rubbing her aching head.
"You said the same thing the last time you were sick," one professor said sternly.
Kaia was stunned.
Joel couldn't stand it anymore. He came to the bedside, looking at her as if she owed him money.
He said, "Tell me. What's the story behind the wound on your forehead? This isn't just an ordinary illness. You have to tell me the truth, or I'll investigate it myself. And during the investigation, I'll stay with you 24 hours a day. Even if you're at the Huo house, I won't leave your side."
Her head throbbed even more. She'd planned to just make up an excuse, but clearly that wouldn't work now.
Kaia said, "Actually, last night I participated in the Pioneer Retreat street race."
"What?" Joel's eyes widened. "Do you have any idea who you are and how important your safety is? You went to take part in something as dangerous as an illegal race? One slip-up and you could be dead!"
"There wouldn't be a slip-up. My driving skills are very good." Kaia's explanation had zero effect on these people.
"Dr. Bennett, you really can't treat this as a joke! The institute can't function without you!"
"Exactly! How could you do something so risky? What if something happened just like Mr. Graham said?"
"You mustn't do this ever again!"
She'd been thinking of telling Joel about the final race coming up in a week. But now, it was better to keep that to herself for now.
At that moment, Andrea had already arrived at the hospital.
