Professor Aldridge stood right beside Old Mr. Carstairs, and hearing the exchange, he glanced at Charlotte-yes, she was indeed the same young woman he’d seen before.
He acknowledged that, during his last meeting with Evander in London, Charlotte had been by Evander’s side. As these words were spoken, everyone except Old Mr. Carstairs began whispering among themselves.
Nepotism wasn’t unheard of, but it was usually reserved for circles of power. In academia, merit mattered far more than connections; background and
relationships might help widen one’s network, but they couldn’t substitute for genuine talent.
Especially for people like Old Mr. Carstairs and Professor Aldridge-they had no use for empty titles or unqualified protégés.
Just as most assumed Charlotte would be dismissed, Old Mr. Carstairs absentmindedly turned the prayer beads around his wrist, then spoke to Professor Aldridge. “Didn’t you say you wanted to meet my protégé?”
Professor Aldridge nodded. “That’s right.”
Old Mr. Carstairs beckoned Charlotte to his side and placed a hand gently on her shoulder. “This is my student-Charlotte.”
A wave of shock rippled through the crowd.
Tricia’s face drained of color, turning from pale green to an ashen white. She looked utterly stricken.
Charlotte? Old Mr. Carstairs’s student?
Impossible.
Professor Aldridge was taken aback. “My word, she’s really your protégé?”
“Without a doubt,” Old Mr. Carstairs replied, a note of pride warming his usually reserved tone. “I chose her myself-she’s the most gifted young surgeon I’ve ever
come across.”
