The doorbell rang, and Eleanor Sterling groggily crawled out of bed.
She glanced around and realized she was still in the hotel; she was somewhat annoyed by the person outside disrupting her sweet dreams.
She walked over to open the door and found a middle-aged woman with glasses standing outside.
Upon seeing Eleanor Sterling, the woman discreetly sized her up for a moment.
The girl seemed to have just woken up, with a somewhat lazy demeanor; her hair was messy, but she was still shining with beauty.
Before Eleanor could express her confusion, the middle-aged woman spoke, "Miss Sterling, hello, I’m Audrey Zane, a professor from the medical school. Mr. Faulkner sent me to tutor you."
A professor from the medical school? To tutor her?
Eleanor was stunned for a moment, then politely opened the door and said, "Oh, please come in first."
After letting Audrey Zane in, Eleanor poured her a glass of water.
Audrey Zane glanced around the room and then sat down on a chair.
"Professor Zane, was it Alaric Faulkner who asked you to tutor me?"
Audrey Zane nodded, "Yes, Mr. Faulkner wanted you to study well and definitely get into the medical school."
Audrey Zane took out the prepared materials from her belongings.
Seeing Audrey Zane with the demeanor of a strict teacher, Eleanor rubbed her forehead.
"Professor Zane, please wait a moment, I need to make a phone call."
After saying that, Eleanor took her phone and went to the balcony to call Alaric Faulkner. Chapters first released on novel⚑fire.net
The call was quickly connected, and Alaric’s deep, magnetic voice came through, "Did the teacher I found for you arrive?"
Eleanor rolled her eyes, who is supposed to be whose teacher?
Eleanor’s mentor, Brian Zane, was the dean of the medical school, and she, as his student, along with her well-known reputation...
Audrey Zane being her student would be more likely.
But Eleanor could only conceal her identity now and act like an oblivious beginner.
She asked powerlessly, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t help me?"
Alaric chuckled, "I only said I wouldn’t help you with admission, I didn’t say I couldn’t help you find a tutor."
Hearing Alaric’s twisted logic, Eleanor’s lips slightly curved.
"President Faulkner, are you always so unprincipled?"
"Ever since I met you, I don’t know what principles are anymore."
Thinking about how Alaric shamelessly kisses her every time, Eleanor’s cheeks suddenly warmed.
Hmm, indeed quite shameless, really like a dog.
Alaric suddenly called her.
"What?" Eleanor retorted fiercely.
Although separated by the phone, she always felt like he could see through her, reading her wandering thoughts at the moment.
She could only bluff her way through, trying to first put on a strong front.
Alaric laughed softly and said, "I found you a tutor, shouldn’t you reward me?"
Eleanor leaned against the wall and snorted, "What reward?"
She hung up the phone directly.
She knew Alaric was unreliable, constantly thinking about teasing her.
After putting away her phone, Eleanor returned to the room.
She spoke, "Professor Zane, I’m sorry to keep you waiting."
Audrey Zane didn’t mind. She pointed to a chair beside her, "Miss Sterling, based on my understanding, you have some background in Chinese medicine.
However, modern medicine and Chinese medicine are two different systems.
If you want to give up Chinese medicine to study modern medicine, you must abandon the theories of Chinese medicine."
Eleanor couldn’t help but mutter, "Can’t you master both at the same time?"
She felt she had integrated them quite well, even able to make use of them reciprocally.
Hearing this, a hint of contempt flashed in Audrey Zane’s eyes.
She thought Eleanor was simply daydreaming. With a mocking expression, she said, "Ordinary people already exhaust all their efforts learning Western medicine.
And you want to master both? You’re simply dreaming!"
Eleanor didn’t want to argue with her. She changed the subject, "Professor Zane, where shall we start?"
Audrey Zane opened the teaching materials, "I’ve prepared some past exam questions; take a look first."
