All Chapters of He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

In their field, theory alone was never enough.Clinical data mattered just as much, if not more.And recently, Professor Smith had come across an extraordinary opportunity.Late that evening, the lab was quiet under the cool white overhead lights. Research journals and sequencing reports were stacked neatly across the desks.Professor Smith sat with a newly updated rare-disease case report in his hands, his expression caught somewhere between excitement and frustration.After decades in gene-editing research, he had learned to value real clinical data just as much as theory.An unusual patient could reveal things no laboratory model ever could.And this particular case was exceptionally rare.The patient was a fifteen-year-old girl with an extremely uncommon subtype of epidermolysis bullosa involving a complex combination of genetic mutations.Only three known cases had been documented worldwide.Of those three, this patient had the most stable condition and the most complete

Compared with Nina’s request, Yvonne’s approval couldn’t have gone more smoothly.She had been busy at the office lately, putting on a show of studying and working hard, so she hadn’t had much time to seek James out.That evening, after dinner, James was working in his study when Yvonne knocked and went in.He looked mildly annoyed by the interruption and closed his laptop.“What is it?”Yvonne could tell he wasn’t in a particularly good mood, so she kept her voice gentle.“Professor Smith is planning to investigate a rare case next week. I’d like to go with his team.”James looked at her without much reaction.“Will it help the project?”“Yes. It’s an extremely rare case, the kind researchers may only come across once in years. If we can collect firsthand clinical data, it could give the project a major boost and put us ahead in the field.”James nodded.“Then go.”That was it.No hesitation.No concern.No reluctance to see her leave.He didn’t ask how remote the loca

Leo looked helpless, but there was far more affection than frustration in his eyes.“You promise?”“Yes. Trust me.”Nina nodded quickly, afraid he might change his mind if she gave him even a second to reconsider.She was still sick, and a faint flush warmed her cheeks, soft as a hint of spring pink. Her eyes were bright despite the exhaustion, full of stubborn determination.Yet with her slim frame and pale face, she looked small, soft, and almost fragile, making it hard for Leo to stay angry with her.All the frustration and worry he had been carrying for the past few days seemed to soften at once.He reached out and lightly touched her cheek.“Okay. I trust you.”Then he asked, “Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?”Nina shook her head.“Is there any oatmeal left? I think I want another bowl.”“Stay here.”Leo gently ruffled her hair before getting up.When he came back, he was carrying another bowl.He let it cool for a few minutes before sitting beside h

Leo noticed the change in her expression and immediately thought something was wrong.“What is it? Are you feeling sick again?”Nina shook her head, the flush still lingering on her cheeks.“Why didn’t you tell me you were out?”Leo paused.It had never occurred to him that Nina might care where he was, so he hadn’t thought to mention it.He was in Harbor City for an important government event that evening. He had been invited as one of the key guests, and the reception was still going on.But Leo took Nina’s question a very different way.He thought she was asking because she wanted to know where he was.The idea made him unexpectedly happy.So he immediately told her exactly where he was, what event he was attending, and how much longer he expected to stay.Then he added, “Next time, I’ll let you know where I’m going.”Nina stared at him.That wasn’t what she meant at all.She had no interest in keeping track of his schedule.She was only embarrassed that she had spent

No matter how much Yvonne cursed and complained along the way, no one volunteered to carry her.Everyone knew how dangerous the mountain trail was, especially in weather like this.The rain was coming down hard, and one wrong step could send someone tumbling down the slope.At that point, everyone was struggling just to keep themselves safe.Money mattered, but not enough to risk their lives over.No one was willing to put themselves in danger just to make things easier for Yvonne.Left with no other choice, she gritted her teeth, swallowed her anger, and struggled along behind the group one miserable step at a time.After what felt like forever, they finally reached their destination.The village where the patient lived.By then, Yvonne looked nothing like her usual polished self.Her white clothes were streaked with dirt and mud, with several small tears where branches and thorns had caught on the fabric.Her carefully styled hair was a mess from the wind, damp strands sti
