Chapter 633

However, the professor looked in Sophie’s direction. I might not stand a chance, but Sophie does!

“Sophie, you have to work hard. I’m confident that you’ll be able to do it.”

It doesn’t matter what the other students say. As long as she wants to do it, she’ll definitely make the

cut.

“All right, Professor. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely work hard.”

Didn’t International Medical Association move here because of me? Why do I need to work harder?

Nevertheless, she kept those thoughts to herself, for no one would believe her even if she said it.

Meanwhile, when Arius was finally discharged from the hospital, Sophie and Barney came to pick him

up. After getting a change of clothes, Arius looked dashing in his outfit.

“I’m finally out!” he exclaimed.

Although he was a doctor, he hated being warded in the hospital as it was a tormenting experience for

him.

“Now that you have recovered, you should go help out at International Medical Association which has

just moved here.”

After taking such a long break, it’s about time he got back to work.

Arius was rendered speechless.

“Dr. Smith, I just got discharged today. Can’t you let me rest for a day or two first? Why are you pushing

me so hard?”

“How can I not be? Even though I’m here, many members of the medical association have yet to arrive.

Where are they going to stay when they do? Have you arranged for their accommodation? I already

instructed you to get it done before I left. And yet, have you sorted everything out? You should be

counting your blessing that I didn’t reprimand you for it, and now, you actually dare to talk back?”

“Dr. Smith, I’m not trying to slack off, but so much has happened recently that my hands are tied.”

It’s not like I’m someone lazy.

“Dr. Smith, don’t worry. Let me handle it.” Since they were coming over because of her, Sophie figured

that she was obliged to help.

“Sophie, don’t bother, as this is Arius’ job. You should just focus on your research. Arius and I will take

care of everything else.”

“Dr. Smith, are you being biased? Why don’t you let Sophie help when she knows Chanaea like the

back of her hand?”

“I was the one who moved International Medical Association here. Therefore, the responsibility is mine.

Sophie does not need any unnecessary burden.”

As Chanaea was a great place for doing medical research, Barney felt that this was the best choice he

had ever made.

This was particularly so after he was disappointed by those from Anglandur. All he did was move

International Medical Association to Chanaea, and yet, they imprisoned him for that.

From his perspective, they had crossed the line doing so.

“Dr. Smith, Arius has just recovered, so let me take care of it.”

It’s nothing more than a hundred houses. All I need to do is to buy up an entire residential area.

“Really? Let me know if you’re in need of funds. Money is something International Medical Association

isn’t short of.”

Even though the expenses for their medical research were high, they were very well funded by the

many tycoons who rely on them for life-saving treatment.

After all, one’s life was the most important thing in this world.

“Mmm-hmm. Don’t worry. I know what to do.” Sophie planned to seek Tristan’s help on the matter, for

she was clueless when it came to real estate.

It shouldn’t be a problem for Tristan. He should be able to get a good deal on all the houses.

As for the building of International Medical Association headquarters, it was a lot more complicated

than just purchasing real estate.

Instead, a lot more technical expertise needed to go into it.

As long as they could come up with the design, the civil engineers would be able to proceed quickly

with the construction.

After sending Arius to his place, Barney decided to stay with him for the time being.

“Dr. Smith, are you sure you want to live together with me? I’ll have to warn you that I don’t know how

to cook!” He had grown used to staying alone and didn’t feel comfortable having a housemate.

“Why? What’s wrong with it? Since both of us are alone here, we can take care of each other.”

This is a wonderful idea!

“You’re just going to order me around.” As his mentee, Arius obviously knew what Barney had in mind.

“I’m glad that you’re aware of it, so stop protesting. I’m sure you know that any resistance is futile!”

Barney spoke in a ruthless tone.

In response, Arius didn’t feel like saying another word. It was, after all, unnecessary since no one

would listen to him.

As for Sophie, this was her first time visiting Arius’ mansion. She was surprised by the location, as it

wasn’t far from Tristan’s mansion.

“Tristan’s mansion is nearby, so if there’s anything you need, you can go over and get it from him.”

Otherwise, both these lonely men might starve to death!

“Sophie, don’t worry about us. We won’t go hungry. We can easily order food delivery.”

Even though we can’t cook, we can enjoy Chanaea’s most popular local service—food delivery.

“That said, I would suggest you find a housekeeper to cook for you, as eating takeout every day isn’t

sustainable.”

Since these two guys are rich, they should get a helper to take care of their living needs.

“Good idea! We’ll hire a housekeeper then. I love Chanaean food anyway,” Barney agreed.

After settling both of them in, Sophie received a call from one of Chanaea’s top leaders, saying that

they wanted to meet her.

When she arrived on schedule, it was the president who greeted her.

“Sophie, the decision of Dr. Smith to move International Medical Association to Chanaea is an

extremely positive development. If you need any help from us, we’ll be happy to oblige.”

Given that the president had offered the country’s help, it didn’t make sense for Sophie to reject it.

Hence, she brought up the issue of accommodation for members of the medical association.

“That’s not a problem at all. There’s currently a high-end residential area being built on the outskirts of

Jipsdale. We can provide it to International Medical Association for free.”

The president was decisive in his decision making.

After all, it paid to be generous to the outstanding talents who worked at the medical association.

“In that case, I would like to thank you on their behalf, Mr. President,” Sophie replied calmly.

“I heard that you’re in the medical field too. Are you planning to join them?” the president asked

candidly.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Sophie didn’t feel the need to hide the fact, for Barney had come all the way to Chanaea on her

account.

“Hmm, I’m glad to hear that. With the help of your generation, Chanaea’s future is getting brighter by

the day in both military and medical fields.” Thereafter, the president lamented, “I heard that your

grandfather used to be in the army. I’m sure that he would be very proud of your achievements today.”
