When Rain Turned to Snow, I Stopped Waiting for My Mate 第9章
Three days after the conference, Arthur received an email notification.It was a newsletter from the Moonridge Clinical Research Center in New York."Retinal Disease Screening Model Completes Multi-Center Clinical Validation."Lead researcher: Irene Carter.He stared at that familiar name for so long that the screen in front of him went dark on its own.Before, whenever he saw Irene's name, he instinctively thought of the words he always attached to it.Arthur's Irene. His student. His research partner.Now, there was nothing after her name.Just her, carrying the weight and the mission on her own.Marcus saw the look on his face and asked casually, "What's wrong?"Arthur's voice was rough. He turned the screen toward Marcus."Irene's project was published."Marcus looked surprised for a moment, then smiled."I saw. She's doing well in that field."The truth is, she was always better suited to translational research. You just kept pushing her toward the kind of research you were good a

It was my first clinical presentation.Before, I would have rehearsed it at least ten times.Afraid of questions. Afraid someone would realize there were things I didn't know.Afraid of letting the team down.After all, Arthur had always been the one to represent the lab at conferences.But now, when an expert challenged me, "Has this diagnostic protocol accounted for real-world variability across wolf populations?"The old me might have panicked.Instead, I paused for a few seconds, organized my thoughts, and answered calmly, "That's something I hadn't fully considered. But your question gives me another direction to explore. I'll look into it."Someone in the audience asked, "Dr. Carter, what originally inspired this project?"I paused. For a moment, I remembered all those nights I'd spent alone in the lab, staring at failed data and wondering what to do next.Then I smiled and pointed to the clinical case database on the screen."From clinical practice."I've always believed that te

It took Arthur this long to notice just how quiet the Institute could be.He had never realized it before.Irene's seat was only ten feet from his lab bench.She used to arrive earlier than anyone else.By 7:30 every morning, the lab lights were already on.When he walked in, she would look up from her computer and smile."Morning, Arthur."Then she would hand him a bottle of water. Sometimes coffee.Sometimes she would hand him data she had stayed up all night organizing.He never thought any of it was anything special. It had gone on for so long.Long enough that he assumed it was simply what a mate was supposed to do.Marcus happened to come across some old experiment records that documented Irene's work in detail."First model failure: Irene stayed in the lab for 48 consecutive hours."Third failure: independently reviewed 126 papers."Fifth failure: redesigned the protocol."Marcus couldn't help but marvel."Arthur, did you know? When Irene first came here, she really wasn't cut o

One month after Irene left, the Institute group chat exploded.Marcus posted a notice:"Per the Pack Research Ethics Committee, Lina's participation in all research projects is hereby suspended, pending investigation."The chat erupted.The data and findings released by the investigation committee made everyone realize this was no longer a simple disagreement between lab mates.The entire lab went silent.Lina, who used to cry and claim she was trying to learn, could no longer play innocent.The investigator asked, "Lina, why didn't you apply for authorized access?"Lina's face fell."Because Irene wouldn't have given it to me."The investigator remained unmoved as he signed the disciplinary notice."So you chose to bypass the permissions, access an unpublished experimental protocol without authorization, and use it to change the animal facility settings?"Lina had nothing to say. She looked to Arthur for help.Arthur turned away. He didn't defend her. His voice was hoarse."I'll coope

The dry, crisp New York air felt wonderful against my skin now that my fever was gone.The Moonridge Medical Research Institute even sent a senior colleague to pick me up.He gave me an enthusiastic tour of the facilities and introduced me to every ongoing project.As I was leaving, everyone waved."If you need help with anything, just ask. Don't hold back."Their bright, open smiles left me dazed for a moment.When I was Arthur's mate, I never dared show my weaknesses or admit there were things about wolf genetics I didn't understand.I never dared admit when I didn't know something, and I never dared ask too many questions.Because I was terrified of seeing him frown and hearing him say, "Irene, how can you still not understand something so simple?"Over and over, I trained myself to hide what I didn't know and figure it out on my own.So I learned to research everything in advance and solve every problem before showing him my work.I only showed him the best version of myself.But t

Three days after my access to the restricted experimental areas was suspended, I was still at the Institute because my paper revision only needed one final round of data checks.It was the only thing I still had.The cell culture room alarm went off while I was organizing the last batch of data.All the cell cultures used for our werewolf model were contaminated.Marcus asked in the group chat, "Who was the last person to handle these samples?"Someone typed "Irene" and quickly deleted it.I froze for a moment.My access had been suspended. Without Marcus's approval, I couldn't even enter the cell culture room.And I had no way to access the security footage to prove my innocence.I took my access request records and went to find Arthur.The door to the monitoring room was ajar.As I approached, I heard his calm voice from inside."Delete this footage."My feet stopped.Lina answered, panic in her voice."Arthur, but what if the Ethics Office finds out...""They won't."Arthur cut her
