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?”
