Chapter 43
The Family Search had its episodes filmed on Wednesdays before broadcasting them on Oceanford TV and several online platforms at 8:00 pm on Fridays. The scene where the show’s guests accidentally pushed Ingrid down the flight of stairs had already Increased the hype for the show.
Furthermore, a topic such as a daughter searching for her lost mother after she was abducted as a child had garnered a lot of attention from society at large.
That was why when the streaming platforms began scheduling the episode for broadcast, the waitlist length for the show increased tenfold. The total number of viewers exceeded the viewer count of every past episode.
Angeline didn’t pay attention to any of this, however.
She met up with James Dickson on Friday, a refined gentleman.
James briefed Angeline about the research topic’s confidential nature and let her sign a non- disclosure agreement to prevent the research information from being leaked. He then brought Angeline around to familiarize her with the research office and introduced the other students to her. Finally, he escorted her out.
*Time is of the essence for our research. We have barely enough people onboard, so you’ll have to stay back
on weekends to do work too. Since you’re new here, you can just familiarize yourself with the surroundings for
now. You’ll officially join the team after the New Year’s.”
“Alright,” replied Angeline.
After getting the official business out of the way, James then enquired about Angeline’s life. “How are you? Are you faring well in Cloudsville?”
“Mhm. I’m doing okay so far.” Angeline smiled at the professor. “Reese told me the other night when he fetched me at the train station that you got me a single-person dorm room reserved for PhD students. Thank you for that.”
“Of course,” James said gently. “If you hadn’t gotten into a coma after that car accident back then, Professor Skye would’ve given you your doctorate already. But it’s okay. We’ll take things slow. Everything’s possible now that you’ve woken up.”
Angeline nodded gratefully, understanding what James meant.
“Once one of our students returns from overseas in the next couple of days, all the team members will be here, ” said James.
When his phone notification rang, he glanced at the screen before saying to Angeline, “Reese said he couldn’t add your contact. Remember to add him so he can add you to our group chat. He’s your senior so you can approach him for whatever questions or troubles you might face.”
“I understand, professor.”
“Best of luck, Angeline!” James patted Angeline’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Time to focus on your project instead of wasting energy on interpersonal relationships.”
+15 BONOS
James knew about Angeline’s affair with Ned.
Just when everyone thought Angeline, the young prodigy, was bound to stay in her coma for the rest of her life. she woke up. Before any of them could begin to feel happy at the news, Angeline ended up wasting two years
of her life on a man. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
To James, this was a great waste of Angeline’s genius and talent.
“Alright!” Angeline nodded. “Don’t worry. I was stubborn before, but I’m wide awake now.”
When James saw how Angeline could treat her past relationship with clarity, he understood that she had let go of it. He finally felt at ease.
James had had his fair share of prodigies in all his years of teaching, but there were only two people who he truly felt was a pity to lose. One of them was Angeline.
The other person would never work on their project ever again. It was a good thing Angeline made it out alive and came to her senses after her relationship. She was bound for great things in the future.
Later that day, Reese brought Angeline to the research office and had her do some data organization and familiarize herself with the research progress.
