The Cure He Destroyed Chapter 10
The fallout from the scandal was too severe for the university to ignore. They had no choice but to form a special investigation team.Once they started digging, the truth unraveled quickly.Every paper Cheryl had published during graduate school had actually been ghostwritten by Zack.In the end, Cheryl was expelled, and Zack was stripped of his professorship for serious academic misconduct.That night, Zack called me.His voice was calm."Joanna, you were right. I really don't deserve to be a professor. Maybe this is my punishment."I said nothing. I only reminded him:"Tomorrow morning. Eight o'clock. Country clerk's office.""Okay."He agreed softly.However, the next day, I waited until noon and Zack never showed up.He was not the kind of person who broke appointments.Just then, my phone rang. I thought it was him, but it was Mr. Miller from our hometown."Joanna, Zack's father got out of prison last month. A few days ago he came back looking for Zack, demanding mo

After a long silence, he finally lowered his head, utterly defeated, no longer able to meet my eyes.I continued quietly."I didn't give up on you because I was jealous. I gave up on you because you changed."The Zack I knew was stubborn, resilient, proud in his own way. He would never steal someone else's research paper, and he definitely wouldn't twist right and wrong."Do you remember the day we both got accepted into medical school? You told me you wanted to dedicate your life to medicine, to snatch people back from death itself."I looked straight into his eyes."You betrayed your own oath."Over the past three years, ever since Cheryl entered his life, he had never produced another serious research breakthrough.His laboratory had turned into Cheryl's personal party venue. People walked in and out without even bothering to disinfect properly.That was the part that disappointed me the most.Zack stayed silent for a very long time, so long that the sky outside the window

Zack's face went pale as he turned to glare at Cheryl."Who gave you the right to burn Joanna's research? Do you even understand what you destroyed? That was eight years of her work!"Cheryl had never seen him this furious before. She was so frightened her voice began to shake."Professor, I thought it was just useless junk nobody wanted. I know I was wrong, okay…"She tried to act cute as she reached for his sleeve, but he shoved her away hard.Even the dean exploded in anger."You've got some nerve! How dare you touch Ms. Hemingway's research materials? Those were the key findings for treating Mr. Fenton's rare disease, and now you've destroyed them!""My Professor has a rare disease?"Cheryl froze for a second, then suddenly pointed at me and burst out laughing."Joanna told you that, didn't she? You've all been tricked by her! My Professor's been perfectly healthy this whole time. How could he possibly be sick?"She glared at me with open disgust."You're just jealous be

I pulled the medical report I had carried with me for the past three years from my pocket and placed it in front of him."Your rare disease was diagnosed three years ago."Back then, I had already spent five years buried in the lab.For those five years, I had practically cut myself off from the world in order to save my father. I barely spoke to anyone. Barely interacted with anyone at all.At first, Zack had fully supported me.But little by little, that support turned into frustration.Then eventually, into constant arguments.I grew more exhausted by the day, asking myself the same question over and over again.If I failed to develop the drug that could save my father, only to lose my marriage in the process... would any of this have been worth it?Just when I was at my weakest, one of my colleagues told me something.Zack, who had never accepted students privately before, had suddenly made an exception for a female student with very average talent."Your husband is ridi

"Come with me, hurry. The media's already waiting at the school gates to interview you!"Still dazed, I let him pull me all the way to the entrance.The moment I arrived, I froze at the sight before me.Cameras and microphones were pointed in every direction, flashes exploding nonstop. The second the reporters spotted me, they surged forward like a wave."Ms. Hemingway is here!""Ms. Hemingway, the hospital released the results this morning confirming that the drug you developed is truly effective for terminal patients like your father. This is a major breakthrough in the medical field!""We heard this is the result of eight years of research and dedication. Now that it's finally succeeded, what would you like to say?"I stood there blankly, my mind suddenly empty."Succeeded?"I repeated the word under my breath.One of the reporters nodded excitedly."The hospital released an official statement this morning. Your father has fully regained consciousness, and all his vital i

"You're right, Cheryl. You really don't have a shred of humanity left."In the end, the meeting broke apart on bad terms.Back in the dean's office, I stubbornly insisted the paper was my original work. But Zack, determined to protect Cheryl, insisted just as firmly that I had plagiarized it.Caught between the two of us, the dean had no choice but to ask for earlier research records as proof.I rushed home and turned on my computer, only to be greeted by a blank screen.The entire hard drive had been wiped clean.Zack had done it.Meanwhile, Cheryl had already submitted a complete chain of evidence.A week later, the academic committee delivered its verdict.I was officially found guilty of plagiarism and publicly criticized across the university. At the same time, all my access to Lab C6 was suspended.The day after the disciplinary notice was issued, I returned to the lab to pack up my things.Suddenly, the door slammed open.Cheryl strode in with several students behind
