George Sterling has been biased towards Faye Sterling since childhood, and the things she learned were mostly from overseas encounters, which, upon investigation, indeed didn’t amount to much in terms of qualifications.
Mrs. Faulkner chuckled gently and continued, "So, I signed you up for this year’s entrance exam to Aethelgard College of Medicine. I hope you won’t let me down."
Registration had already closed, but slipping someone in under the Faulkner Family’s name is not a difficult task.
Eleanor Sterling: "???"
Wait a minute, something seems off.
She had prepared a ton of rebuttals but was left speechless by Mrs. Faulkner’s unexpected words.
Taking the exam for Aethelgard College of Medicine?
Eleanor Sterling’s expression shifted multiple times, growing a bit peculiar.
Mrs. Faulkner, assuming Eleanor was frightened, soothingly reassured her, "Aethelgard College of Medicine is the most prestigious institution.
Although you’re a bit older, it doesn’t matter. Many overage students take the exam every year, so you needn’t worry.
If you want to match Alaric, at least you need to present a respectable identity."
Even with the title of jewelry designer, Mrs. Faulkner still felt it wasn’t sufficient.
Eleanor Sterling opened her mouth, wanting to decline, "Sorry, I..." didn’t plan to be with Alaric Faulkner.
Before she could finish, Alaric Faulkner came down from upstairs, interrupting her.
Alaric sat naturally beside Eleanor and then said, "Thank you, Grandma. She’ll be taking the medical school exam."
Eleanor turned to look at Alaric, wishing she could kick him. Since when did she say she’d go?
If her teacher Brian Zane found out, wouldn’t it be a joke?
Noticing Eleanor’s gaze, Alaric stretched his hand, holding hers, hinting not to deny it. The source of this content ɪs novelꜰire.net
Eleanor felt rebellious, just about to ignore him and clarify their relationship.
Unexpectedly, Alaric leaned closer and whispered by her ear, "Don’t deny it, or I’ll kiss you in front of Grandma, solidifying our relationship."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor gritted her teeth.
This jerk couldn’t be more shameless!
Seeing the two whisper to each other, Mrs. Faulkner smiled.
Alaric has been cold and distant since childhood, hard for ordinary people to get close to, and he’s never shown such affection with Faye Sterling.
Yet around Eleanor Sterling, it’s different. He smiled softly, his lips curling slightly, while Eleanor’s face reddened; the two seem quite the match.
Mrs. Faulkner is far from a traditionalist, and her heart warmed to Eleanor Sterling considerably.
Eleanor Sterling was cornered by Alaric’s threat, knowing full well he was mad enough to follow through.
But if she admitted it, wouldn’t that be agreeing to Alaric’s demands?
Their relationship shouldn’t be .
Mrs. Faulkner spoke again, "Miss Sterling, I hope you’ll graduate from medical school on your own merit."
Then she turned to Alaric, warning, "You are not allowed to help her. Do you hear?"
Alaric smiled slightly, "Grandma, Eleanor is so outstanding, she doesn’t need my help."
Though Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two different systems, Alaric believed Eleanor should find it easy to learn.
Mrs. Faulkner laughed, "Great, in that case, I’ll look forward to Miss Sterling’s performance."
She waved her hand, saying, "I’ll let you enjoy your time alone."
With that, she stood up and walked upstairs.
Having been forced into accepting a certain task, Eleanor Sterling was left standing there, her face filled with despair.
