The chamber was elegantly appointed with crystal chandeliers casting warm light over polished mahogany

furniture. Several researchers sat around the oval table, their papers and tablets scattered across the

Professor Kelly’s expression grew pled. “She’s not really my student. I was impressed by her thesis, but

her character seems questionable, which I find regrettable.”

I couldn’t resist the opportunity. “You mean Sophia Rivers‘ thesis on neural stem cell transplantation? Quite

advanced even by today’s standards.”

Margaret’s eyes widened in shock. “The student is Sophia?”
