March brought with it a hint of spring as the temperatures climbed. The sunlight was perfect—warm and comforting as it bathed everything in its glow.
After returning from Pittsbrew, Nadine dedicated herself to organizing the lecture notes, checking everything over and over to ensure there were no mistakes before passing it on to her team leader, Seraphina Hawthorn.
Seraphina reviewed her work and was visibly pleased. In fact, she went out of her way to praise Nadine in front of the entire team. Nadine maintained a professional smile throughout, though her cheeks ached from the effort.
The sole reason she joined this research group was because of Adam's illness. Years ago, when she was still a student, she had chosen cardiology as her elective.
Nadine chose it because Sophie had heart problems and she wanted to learn things that could be useful if Sophie ever had an episode. Later, she applied that knowledge to help Brad.
Now, with Adam's health deteriorating by the day, she knew she had to keep pushing herself and not slack off for a second. She clung to the hope of helping Adam overcome his ordeal.
The leader of the research group, Seraphina, was seven years older than Nadine and a trailblazer in the field. Renowned domestically and internationally, she was an expert in heart diseases.
Impressed with Nadine's efforts, she asked her to stay behind after the meeting and handed her a set of handwritten notes. "I've gone through your résumé, Nadine. Your theoretical foundation is solid, but you lack hands-on experience. These are notes I've accumulated over years of practice. I'll lend them to you."
Nadine was overjoyed, her eyes shining with excitement as she thanked Seraphina. "Thank you, Seraphina! I-I don't even know how to thank you enough—"
Seraphina patted her shoulder, cutting her off. "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Hamilton Senior. He was the one who funded my studies when I went abroad. Also, I've heard about Brad's heart condition. You might find something useful for his case in those notes."
Nadine was about to tell her that she had nothing to do with him but Seraphina stopped her. "No need to explain. In my eyes, all patients are equal and deserve help, no matter who they are.
