In just five days , his condition became increasingly worse . Until his assistant burst into the villa in panic , showing his phone in front of him . " Mr. Rothwell , look at this ! " Preston barely lifted his head , not even having the energy to look properly . Until he heard a voice from the phone . " This research achievement isn't solely my credit , but the result of all my students working together . " Then , one unfamiliar name after another was mentioned . Until one name ...

" Mr. Rothwell , that's really Madam ! " Preston immediately scrambled up from the floor . Having barely eaten for several days , his whole body swayed , nearly falling to the ground . Fortunately , someone caught him in time , barely steadying him . " Mr. Rothwell , your body can't take this at all . You should eat something first ! " " Now that we finally have a trace of Madam , as long as we go look , we'll definitely find her ! " Preston nodded , " Go prepare food for me and book the earliest flight .

But just as he was about to leave , he saw Aurelia's smile frozen on the phone screen . So bright and radiant , especially standing on that stage - it was impossible to look away . And at that moment , he felt an unprecedented sense of inferiority . Meanwhile , Aurelia and her professor and senior lab mates came down from the stage . The professor's gaze fell on Aurelia , his eyes showing some concern . " Aurelia , although I know it's somewhat inappropriate to ask this now , I still want to know - this program was broadcast live on all platforms . What if Preston sees it ? " Upon hearing this , Aurelia instinctively looked toward Holden . Unexpectedly , their eyes met , and his eyes also held some amusement . Her lips curved slightly as she shook her head calmly : " It doesn't matter . " " People who are stuck in the past can't affect me even if they see it . " She spoke so lightly . Only then did the professor withdraw his gaze with satisfaction . The senior lab mates beside them took this opportunity to start making noise : " Professor , we won the championship today ! Don't we get any reward ? " " For example ... treating us to dinner ? " Upon hearing this , the professor's face was full of smiles , then he nodded in agreement : " Alright !
