Fryderyk replied, “Hold on a little longer.”

Watching the people still busy on the pig farm, Jackson took a few steps forward and sat down nearby. With a sneer, he muttered, “Hannah Gibson is seriously shady–always either tailing Aria or snooping around the lab. You can just tell she’s up to no good.”

Fryderyk instructed, “Keep an eye on her, but don’t tip her off.”

Jackson nodded. “You got it.”

The lab was thick with tension, the air almost suffocating.

News came through about the students‘ applications, and it was an application void notice.

Because the experimental section was nearly identical to that of the newly submitted report by Heffner Hospital.

This was the first time they’d run into something like this–everyone was at a complete loss.

Someone cried, “What the hell is going on? How could our application report be identical to Heffner Hospital’s?”

A boy speculated, “Did someone… leak our research?”

“We’ve got people on duty in the lab 24/7, and the equipment never leaves the premises. So it’s highly unlikely any of us could have leaked anything ourselves,” someone said.

Just then, a girl’s voice, thick with tears, cut in, “One day I suddenly got a stomach bug and was stuck in the bathroom for half an hour… Could that be…”

Her voice trailed off, thick with self–reproach.

Someone stepped out of the crowd and yelled, “Seriously? At such a critical moment, why didn’t you just message the group to get someone else to cover your watch?”

The girl burst into tears, her head hanging so low her chin nearly touched her chest. “I’m sorry… it’s all my fault,” she choked out.

The senior researcher stepped in to smooth things over. “Look, don’t blame her. If someone was determined to steal, luring people away would be child’s play.”

Another one said, “Heffner Hospital is utterly despicable! How could they stoop so low as to steal our research data?”

The crowd nodded. “We have to go get some answers! Let’s go right now!”

Everyone clenched their fists, their faces contorted with fury.

Aria rushed over upon hearing the news, just in time to witness the furious uproar among her students.

“Professor Saxon!” The students swarmed forward, all talking over each other in their eagerness to report what had happened.

A knowing smile curled at the corners of Aria’s lips as she motioned for them to sit. “Take it easy. Calm down. Heffner Hospital has already started their clinical trials–let them do the heavy lifting for us.”

The students exchanged uncertain glances. “Professor,” one blurted out, “did you know about this all along?”

Aria shook her head. “I just found out, too, but I’m not surprised. Trust me on this–let’s not go picking fights just yet.”

Seeing her composed demeanor, their agitation gradually subsided. “Professor Saxon, we’ll follow your lead,” they said in unison.

One of the students quipped, “Guess we’re finally getting a break!”

“Let’s take a day off first, then we’ll go lend a hand at the pig farm too,” one of them suggested.

On her way back, Aria’s phone buzzed with a message from Derek: [Aria, I saw the news. Is the drug already in use?]
