But in reality, it was extremely difficult.
Even if an ordinary person sold everything they owned, it might still not be enough to afford a single pill.
However, if they forced the price of the medicine down, the research institute and those who had worked tirelessly on the research for many years would be the ones to suffer.
"Meng, don’t worry about that," Dr. Carl told her the news he had just received. "The higher-ups have already allocated research funds to us, and as for the medication, it will be distributed free of charge to children afflicted with the disease."
"That’s really wonderful," Mengmeng’s joy came from the bottom of her heart.
"Oh, Meng, there’s another piece of great news!" Dr. Carl seemed to think of something, his handsome, slightly wrinkled face trembling with a smile.
Mengmeng blinked her eyes, looking puzzled.
At that moment, all the members of the research institute answered in unison, "You’ve been nominated for the Q-country Medical Award! Dr. Carl has been nominated as well."
"Really... really?" Mengmeng’s eyes widened in disbelief. Check latest chapters at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
The Q-country Medical Award was specifically to recognize those who had made outstanding discoveries in physiology or medicine over the year.
Even if you don’t actually win the prize, just being nominated is an immensely honorable thing.
"Do you think we would lie to you about this!" Lirui couldn’t help but laugh as she patted her shoulder, then said, "The final awardees will be announced at the Q-country Medical Conference in October."
"But I believe that you and Dr. Carl will definitely win the prize. After all, the medicine you developed can cure the dreadful Despair disease! It’s incredibly impressive!"
"Thank you for your kind words."
Luo Mengmeng hugged her.
Soon after, reporters came to interview Luo Mengmeng and Dr. Carl.
In front of the camera, both of them appeared very calm and low-key.
Once the interview was over, it was almost dark and time to leave work.
After leaving the research institute, Luo Mengmeng went home to share the good news with Gu Zhihan and the children.
Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but rub her head, "You’re the best."
The three little ones also ran up to Mengmeng one after another.
"No, I’m not really that great at all; you all have made me who I am today," Luo Meng said earnestly, looking at the four of them.
If Xiaobao hadn’t been seriously ill, she would never have thought of researching diseases.
If Gu Zhihan hadn’t supported her with his spirit and money, if Dabao and Erbao hadn’t been understanding, she would never have been able to persevere.
So, her current fame was all thanks to them.
In the blink of an eye, October arrived.
The Q-country Medical Award announced the final awardees.
"... This year’s Q-country Medical Award goes to... Miss Luo Mengmeng from China and Dr. Carl from Q-country, congratulations to you both!"
On the day of the medical conference, the committee publicly announced the winners.
"I just knew it would be Mom!" Erbao was as excited as if she were the one who had won the award.
"Of course," Xiaobao smirked and smiled.
"You’ve all used up the good lines; what should I say?" Dabao said, scratching his head sheepishly.
Luo Mengmeng gently curved the corners of her lips and exchanged a glance with Gu Zhihan.
Gu Zhihan’s handsome face smiled and he said, "I’ll go find a designer to create a dress for you, and then we’ll go to the award ceremony in December."
The winners were announced today, but the award ceremony wouldn’t be until December.
"Okay," Luo Mengmeng kissed him publicly in response.
