Chapter 743: Chapter 743 She Succeeded
“Hmm.” Mengmeng nodded and, after embracing Gu Zhihan who stood beside her, she walked toward the stage with Dr. Carl.
The moment they ascended the stage, the lights came down immediately.
Dr. Carl was dressed in a black handmade suit today. Though he was over fifty, his figure was still erect and fit. The mature charm of his handsome face could undoubtedly bewitch countless young women when he smiled.
By his side, Luo Mengmeng was in an elegant blue dress with her long legs bare, her skin as tender and flawless as a freshly-peeled egg, and her delicate features sculpted in three dimensions. Her ink-black hair, even when simply let down, could not conceal the nobility that surrounded her.
Many people couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Originally they had thought this medical award winner named Luo Mengmeng would be an old woman of sorts. They hadn’t expected her to be so young and beautiful…
She looked nothing like a medical scientist who would happily stay in a lab, but more like a wealthy young lady from high society.
At that moment, a committee member came forward with two trophies.
“Congratulations, Ms. Luo Mengmeng.”
Mengmeng took the trophy while shaking hands with the other party.
Dr. Carl did the same.
The host picked up the microphone, looking at the two with a smile, and said in fluent English, “First of all, I am truly, truly happy for both of you. Now, we would like to invite Mr. Carl and Miss Luo Mengmeng to give their acceptance speeches!”
As soon as the host’s voice fell, the audience immediately burst into applause like the rush of a tide.
Dr. Carl was the first to give his acceptance speech.
Then it was Luo Mengmeng’s turn.
She took a small step forward and stood before the microphone.
At that moment, countless lights and the flashing bulbs of the photographers were fixed on her.
Luo Mengmeng lifted her eyes and began, “Before winning this award, I had never thought that I could win because my original intention was simply to save my own unfortunate child….” This update is available on NoveI★Fire.net
“Four years ago, I was pregnant with triplets, which should have been a very happy thing. However, I didn’t expect that my youngest son would be born with the congenital Despair disease. At that time, this was a deadly disease even more terrifying than cancer. We were completely helpless and nearly chose euthanasia for him.”
“But I really didn’t want to give up just like that. I’m a medical student, and I know there are too many diseases doctors are powerless to treat, but I believe in this world there is a cure for each ailment. For every disease that exists, Heaven must have also hidden a cure, just waiting to be discovered…”
“So, for that slim hope, I went against everyone’s advice and, with the help of friends, took my dying son to Q Country to look for Dr. Carl. Later, I joined Professor Amos’s disease research institute and became his student as well.”
“Perhaps it was the reward for perseverance, but fortunately, I discovered some drugs that could fight the Despair disease and, together with Dr. Carl, we finally developed a medicine against it….”
As Luo Mengmeng spoke, the entire room fell silent. People of different hair colors and nationalities watched the tearful girl on the stage, and their eyes couldn’t help but quietly redden.
Meanwhile, in the city center, the LED screen was also broadcasting this award ceremony live.
Countless passersby stopped, looking at the screen to hear the story of the black-haired, black-eyed girl recount her painful past.
Among them was a tall boy, holding a cat, also watching the live broadcast of the award ceremony.
“She succeeded,” Jiang Yibai said with a smile under the dancing snowflakes, watching the radiant girl on the big screen as he gently stroked the cat in his arms.
