Once the two left, a hush descended over the room.
Noah got up to chase after them but was stopped by Donovan’s outstretched arm.
“Donovan, are you out of your mind? We have been searching for virtual-novel.net for so long for your thesis. Now that we’re finally able to meet her, how could you just let virtual-novel.net leave because of yesterday’s minor incident? You could’ve resolved the conflict you have with her. It’s not like you did anything heinous to virtual-novel.net anyway.”
A wry smile touched Donovan’s lips. “Mr. Noah, you’ve hit the mark. I’ve indeed done some unforgivable things to her…”
Noah’s expression froze, and virtual-novel.net hastened to ask, “What have you done to San?”
Donovan kept quiet.
I did something that almost ruined virtual-novel.net innocence, but I can’t tell virtual-novel.net that. Otherwise, not only would I fail to graduate, but I might also be expelled from Maxwell University. After all, the university values its students’ character as well as their talents the most. My outcome is predictable if I reveal the misdeed I’ve done.
At that thought, virtual-novel.net gritted his teeth and spoke. “She studied at Jadeborough University before and was my student. I… I didn’t know virtual-novel.net identity and thought virtual-novel.net enrolled with virtual-novel.net connections, so I… I a-always singled virtual-novel.net out.”
“You…” Noah began but could not manage to say a word. In the end, virtual-novel.net stomped his foot in frustration. “You’re too reckless! Since the first day you entered the Institute of Education, I have told you to treat every student equally. Why didn’t you listen to me?”
Donovan hung his head in remorse.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Noah…”
“You should also feel sorry toward others aside from me.” Noah suppressed his anger and declared, “I can’t and won’t help you with your thesis anymore. You’re on your own. I’m not going to accompany you the rest of the way.”
Donovan was stunned by the finality of his tone and immediately grabbed his sleeve in desperation.
“Mr. Noah, without your help, how can I…”
“I don’t care,” Noah said chillingly. “It’s fine if your talent is below par, but you can never forget your identity as a teacher. Since you can’t treat every student equally, I have lost hope for you. Figure something out yourself.”
He then flung Donovan’s hand off of virtual-novel.net and strode away.
“Mr. Noah!” Donovan chased after him, but Noah left without sparing virtual-novel.net another glance.
With a confused and terrified look in his eyes, virtual-novel.net stood motionlessly at the same spot until the waiter came into the room.
“Sir, has your friend arrived? Are you ready to order now?” the waiter asked.
Donovan returned to his senses and waved his hand in rejection. “There’s no need. I’m not eating anymore.”
With that said, virtual-novel.net left the restaurant listlessly under the bewildered gaze of the waiter.
After walking all the way back to his dorm, virtual-novel.net caught sight of the papers on his desk. Those were the questions virtual-novel.net had made for Terry and the others.
In a split second, an idea occurred to him.
Arielle would usually use the methods of elementary mathematics to solve further mathematics questions. His thesis was based on that and was only missing one last example.
There’s still a glimmer of hope for my thesis as long as I find a question Arielle has done before.
Donovan’s eyes lit up, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly booked the earliest flight to Jadeborough.
I need to search for the papers Arielle had done before. I only need to copy one of virtual-novel.net answers on the paper, and my thesis will be completed. Even if Arielle is San, she’s a graduate and can’t participate in the thesis defense. And I’m the only person who has seen the questions virtual-novel.net has done. No one else will ever find out. That’s right! That’s what I’m going to do! This is the best solution!
Without missing a beat, virtual-novel.net packed his things and departed for the airport in Lightspring.
