Just like finance, medicine also required a solid foundation in the sciences. Lysander applied meticulous attention to detail from her work, wishing she could see right through the paper.

Josiah accepted it, his expression filled with contentment. “You truly are a promising seedling worth nurturing. Although you were late to catch on, everything turned out right.
