Chapter 405
The whole town was buzzing about Anthea's achievements, and even Principal Johnson made a point of meeting her in person. This alone was testament to Anthea's extraordinary capabilities.
I mean, how often do you see the principal paying such attention to a single student?
Tanya nodded in agreement, "Mom, I have every faith in Annie!"
Lizzie chimed in, "Auntie, don't you worry! Annie never bites off more than she can chew."
However, Hank was riddled with doubts.
Firstly, due to Anthea's youthful age.
Secondly, because she was Tanya's classmate, still in her senior year of high school.
Could she really pull it off?
On the drive home, he shared his concerns with Jane.
"Henry, I know you're worried about Tanya, but given her condition, even though we're all fighting to find a cure, deep down we know it's a tough battle. Now, if there's someone claiming they can make a difference, why not give her a chance? What if Tanya actually gets better? Believing in her gives us a glimpse of hope. Besides, I doubt anyone would joke about something so serious. If Anthea had no confidence in her abilities, she wouldn't make such bold claims. It'd have no meaning for her," Jane reasoned.
Deception usually serves a purpose of gain.
But for Anthea, there was no apparent gain.
So, why would she deceive anyone?
Jane was convinced of Anthea's sincerity.
Suddenly, Jane remembered something, "Oh, and that classmate of Tanya's, she topped the science stream in the national college entrance exams! Scored a 749 out of 800! Can you believe it?"
"Anthea aced the college entrance exam?" Hank couldn't hide his astonishment.
Jane nodded, pulling up her phone, "There were interviews with her a few days back. Look, here's one now. Oh, and Yeager's Delicacies, that's Anthea's mom's diner. Ever since Anthea topped the exams, they've been calling it the 'Top Scholar's Diner'. Business is booming like never before!"
Seeing the news on Jane's phone left Hank speechless.
A top scholar!
This was no ordinary feat.
A scholar of her caliber wouldn't risk her future on a whim.
Hank was thoroughly impressed.
At the principal's office.
After a long conversation with Anthea.
It took Principal Johnson less than thirty minutes to move from skepticism to complete trust in Anthea.
Her understanding of viruses and cancer cells far exceeded the average person's grasp so much so that even esteemed oncology specialists had to take note.
It was a profound insight into the nature of the disease.
Principal Johnson had never encountered anyone who could dissect the nature of cancer cells with such clarity.
"Listening to you is better than ten years of study!" Principal Johnson stood up, "Ms. Yeager, whatever you need, our school will provide full support!" "Thank you."
"Ms. Yeager, it's we who should be thanking you," Principal Johnson replied, visibly moved.
Anthea added, "Principal Johnson,
thanking me how might be a bit
premature Let's wait until I've
successfully developed the treatment and completed the. procedure. Then, your thanks will be more fitting."
"Agreed," Principal Johnson nodded.
After Anthea left, Principal Johnson immediately called for an urgent meeting with the entire faculty.
And thus, Team A was formed, dedicated to assisting Anthea in her work.
"Dr. Susie, you'll lead Team A. Go to Room C102 and meet Ms. Yeager. From now on, you'll follow her instructions."
Dr. Susie, a top-notch oncology
specialist with an impressive
international education, was initially
reluctant Principal Johnson, I've
got several patients under my care. I won't have the time. Perhaps
someone else would be better suited."
The idea of serving as an assistant to a high school girl, however brilliant, seemed beneath her.
Principal Johnson continued, "In that case, delegate your current patients to Dr. Lane."
Dr. Susie, a family friend of Principal
Johnson, was being offered a golden opportunity. Working closely with Antkea, if the cancer treatment proved successful, would place Susie in an enviable position, poised to tearn the treatment method directly from Anthea. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
