Chapter 509

Nara had just finished writing a sentence and was about to show it to Gary’s mother when the latter knocked the notebook out of her hand and pointed at her, cursing angrily. “You can’t even speak. What makes you think you’re good enough for my son?”

Gary courted her at university, helping her…

She remembered that Gary looked down on her at first, thinking she didn’t deserve to be the top student. Since she was mute, he wondered how she could

succeed in medicine if she couldn’t communicate with

patients.

But later, in the lab, Gary got frightened by a dissected mouse and vomited until he was half dead, while only Nara remained calm, undisturbed by anything.
