“Take it back and read it. You will be officially enrolled in September. Before that, you should have a general understanding of the research direction so that you will not be completely in the dark when you join the experimental group.”
Myrna glanced at the information in her hand and nodded, “Don’t worry, I will definitely learn it as quickly as possible and will never hold you back!”
Sarah Thoreau looked at her confident look and couldn’t help laughing: “Don’t I believe you?”
“I watched your interview video. Over the years, I was also worried that you might not be able to adapt to the current research pace.”
She patted Myrna on the shoulder: “But after watching the video, I found that you haven’t lost anything of those things before.”
And Dempsey ‘s question gave her a surprise.
It is no exaggeration to say that even a third-year graduate student may not be able to answer better than Myrna .
Good or bad does not lie in whether the answer itself is correct or not, but in the thinking and logical ability she demonstrates in the process of solving the problem.
“You are my student. No one knows your talent and excellence better than me. You have the ability, do you know that?”
…
After chatting for a while, Professor Thoreau was called away by a phone call.
Myrna took the stack of information home, and she couldn’t help being absent-minded when she thought about what her teacher said.
Along the way, she was not always firm in her beliefs. She was also afraid and hesitant, worried that she would not do well and would mess things up.
Especially when she knew that Professor Thoreau had been focusing on a certain research topic for many years but had not produced any results, her joining would be meaningless if she could not bring anything new …
After opening the paper, Myrna discovered that the order of the materials was actually arranged according to year and month.
The further down you go, the older the age.
Some can even be traced back to the 1940s, when biology had just become an independent discipline.
In the past, she understood the development of biology from the perspective of a reader, just like reading a book. No matter how much she read, she was ultimately just a bystander.
Now, looking at it from the perspective of creators and practitioners, it is like following in the footsteps of our predecessors and participating in it together.
These are two completely different experiences.
Myrna was fascinated.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang and she picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
“Are you Joanna ‘s family? I’m at the H City First People’s Hospital. She was in a car accident. Please come quickly.”
Myrna’s hands trembled and her heart almost stopped.
After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly picked up her bag, and thought about the fact that hospitalization would definitely cost money, so just in case, she took out several cards where she usually saved money, took her cell phone, grabbed her coat and ran out.
Fortunately, I was lucky. Before I opened the mobile app, a taxi drove over.
“Master, please go to the First People’s Hospital.”
The driver was an old man. He looked at her and understood her: “Girl, sit tight! My car is fast and stable, and I will definitely take you there safely.”
Myrna moved her lips: ” … Thank you.”
Along the way, she imagined countless terrible scenes in her mind. She didn’t know what to do, so she could only call Joanna again .
As expected, the phone was turned off.
When the uncle is driving, he likes to turn on the radio to listen to the news. After the music prelude, the female host’s voice sounded: “It is now 1:30 pm. I have an urgent news interruption. A bus rear-ended a truck at No. 26 Chengxi Road, causing a chain accident. So far, ten people have been injured and one person has died … ”
Myrna heard this, she wondered, “Isn’t Chengxi Road near Joanna’s company?”
My heart suddenly rose to my throat and I almost choked.
The uncle kept his word and shortened the normal half-hour driving time by half.
Myrna had just gotten out of the car and before entering the hospital when she heard the ambulance siren.
“Quick! This is the second wave of casualties from the Chengxi Road traffic accident, rush to the emergency room-”
Myrna saw the injured person being carried out of the car, unconscious and covered in blood. She felt a chill down her spine and quickened her pace to walk inside.
I found the nurse at the front desk and told her Joanna ‘s name.
“Are you a family member?”
“Yes, I came here after receiving a call.”
“You … ” The nurse paused, her eyes showing regret, “Go inside and see him.”
Myrna’s heart sank instantly.
She tried her best to control her trembling right hand, took a deep breath, turned the door handle, and the next second she saw a body covered with white cloth lying on the bed.
Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind–
” Myrna , why are you here?”
“!” Myrna turned back suddenly.
Joanna was alive and well and couldn’t be better.
“You scared me to death! What’s in there … ”
“Family member, why are you here?” The nurse who had just shown her the way passed by and couldn’t help but frowned, “Your friend is next door.”
Myrna : ” … ”
Then he pointed at Joanna and said , “When you pushed the door just now, she was standing behind you. How could you make a mistake … ”
Myrna : ” … ”
In the corridor.
“Are you still angry?” Joanna hooked her hand. “I was wrong. Please stop being angry, okay? Haven’t you heard that being angry makes you age faster? My Myrna is so beautiful. It would be bad if she got wrinkles from being angry.”
Seeing Myrna ‘s gloomy face, she quickly added: “But even if you are old, you are still the most beautiful and elegant grandma… ”
Knowing that Joanna was fine, her anger had mostly subsided, and now she was amused by her funny behavior.
“Okay, okay, the rain has stopped and the sky is clear! You are not angry now, are you?”
“The hospital just called me and said you were in a car accident. I was so scared. So what happened? How did you get your face injured?”
Myrna was actually very glad that it was just a false alarm, but when she saw the injuries on Joanna’s face, she couldn’t help but frown.
“I was off work and wanted to try the newly opened barbecue restaurant nearby, but when I passed Chengxi Road, I ran into a chain reaction. I got a little scratched by the flying glass shards, and then I fell down.”
“I didn’t want to come to the hospital, but the medical staff who rescued me saw that I had facial injuries and were worried that it might affect my brain, so they let me come with the ambulance just to be on the safe side.”
That was her first time riding in an ambulance. There were other injured people in the car. Listening to their wailing, Joanna was also scared.
If she were closer, the person lying in the emergency room would be her.
Myrna obviously realized this and held her hand:
“It’s all right, it’s all right.”
Joanna ‘s eyes melted away instantly, and she smiled: “Don’t you know me yet? From childhood to adulthood, I have been very lucky, and I can always turn danger into safety. But you, did you really think I was dead?”
Joanna was fully convinced that if she had spoken a second later, this silly girl would have burst into tears on the spot.
