Chapter 99 We’re Not a Pair
She only had two morning classes, so she could take a break before the afternoon classes, which were packed with internal medicine courses, began.
After finishing her class, Angela packed her bag and prepared to head to the library to review the internal medicine books for the afternoon. She had never studied medicine
systematically before. All she had previously learned were unconventional methods and practical operations.
Jessica Turner left the country last week, just when Angela was still in the hospital. At school, she lost her only close friend, and since she transferred to another department, she hardly knew anyone in her class. Therefore, she always went to and from classes alone.
Just as she left the classroom, a young man wearing black–framed glasses appeared before her. “Angela Kins?” he asked.
“Yes, I’m Angela Kins. And you are?” Angela nodded, looking at the young man in front of her with curiosity. He seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t remember who he was.
In general, other than Louis Chandler and his two friends, with whom she had a quarrel on the first day of class, she didn’t know anyone in the class.
The young man pushed his glasses upward as a hint of surprise flashed across his face. “I’m Gale Hall, the class monitor. The notes your friend Jessica Turner borrowed were mine.”
Angela exclaimed in realization and thanked him. So, the notes Jessica borrowed were his.
“Can you give me your contact information and address? I need to register you as a new student. Also, do you have Skype? If not, you should register one, and I’ll add you to the group chat.”
Angela was about to give out her Skype ID but suddenly hesitated, shaking her head as she denied having one. Instead, she provided her phone number and address.
Skype only emerged in 2003 and now, it was 2004. So, it was considered quite trendy.
Angela registered for Skype several years later, around the time of her graduation from university, and that was because the class monitor suggested leaving a contact method. Int fact, Jessica was the one who helped her register the very Skype account she used for over a decade.
Moreover, she had grown accustomed to using WhatsApp, which still didn’t exist just yet.

“Oh, one more thing,” Gale mentioned after exchanging phone numbers. “Professor Noah called me, asking you to see him in his office. He has something to discuss with you.”
Professor Noah wants to see me?
Angela nodded and said okay. She then put away her phone and headed to Noah’s office, which she had a little trouble locating.
Upon arriving at the door, she knocked, and a deep, steady “come in” came from inside.
To her surprise, Louis and a tall and beautiful young woman with a high ponytail were in the office as well.
This girl… I don’t recall ever seeing her in our class, she mused.
Louis glanced at her with indifference, then withdrew his gaze, his hands in his pockets, looking cool and aloof.
Regardless, Angela kept her gaze straight ahead and greeted, “Hello, Professor Noah.”
Seeing that Angela had arrived, a smile appeared on his usually serious face. “Angela, you’re here. I’ve checked your schedule, and you don’t have classes for the rest of the morning, right? Come with me to the hospital. You and Louis will assist me, and Winter, you will assist Professor Lambert.”
As he spoke, he stood up and started putting documents into a black briefcase.
Louis frowned and said coldly, “We’re not a pair.”
Angela quirked a brow, looking a bit nonchalant. Her expression seemed to say she was speechless, as if she were looking at a child.
Noah clicked his tongue and shot Louis a stern look before smacking the young man’s. shoulder. “What, is a pretty girl not good enough for you? Look at you, acting all high and mighty.”
Winter stood beside Louis, very close to him. After glancing at Louis‘ indifferent expression, she smiled and walked over to Angela.
Winter extended her hand with a charming smile. “Hello, I’m Winter Heron, a senior in your year. Maybe we’ll be classmates in the future. Just call me Winter.”
Perhaps because Winter’s expression was too similar to Fanny’s, Angela couldn’t bring herself to like this senior.

“Hello, Angela, Angela replied with a slight lift of her beautiful eyes, keeping her response extremely concise.
Winter’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but she quickly suppressed it. Instead, she reached out and hugged Angela like an older sister. “Professor Noul is known for being strict, and he has scolded both Louis and me many times before. But Professor Lambert has a good temper. Even if you make a mistake, he won’t scold you. How about I ask Professor Noah switch you with me? You look so sweet; it’ll break my heart if you cry from being scolded:
It was well known that Noah was notoriously strict. Even Louis, a rare genius and Noah’s favorite student, had rarely been praised by him. Declan Lambert, on the other hand, was gentle. Even if a student made a mistake, he’d smile and forgive.
Angela blinked and said, “I will follow the professor’s arrangement.”
Experience had taught her to avoid dealing with people like Winter, who smiled on the surface but might betray her in the end.
Winter’s eyes stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled affectionately. “Okay, if you change your mind, you can tell me anytime.”
Angela nodded indifferently and then took a step back. “Sorry, Winter, I’m allergic to perfume.”
Winter couldn’t hide her embarrassment, her pretty face turning a bit pale and then a bit red.
After Noah finished packing up, he led the group downstairs to the parking lot and drove straight to the hospital.
En route. Noah explained the reason. Several medical schools had jointly organized a free clinic. Three professors from each hospital would participate, and each school would have one professor on duty at the hospital every day.
For the employed professors, having so many real–life cases in front of them was an excellent opportunity to bring along their apprentices and make some extra gains.,
In their profession, not only theoretical knowledge was important, but practical experience was also crucial. After all, people never get sick following the contents of medical books. The accuracy and proficiency of diagnosing illnesses were even more important.
Regardless, Angela knew that Noah wanted to take them three as free labor, providing free medical consultations and running errands.
Having done similar things countless times in her grandmother’s clinic in her past life, Angela remained calm and even numb. She responded indifferently.

Winter chuckled lively. “Alright, professor, rest assured. Louis and I have followed you for many consultations before. We won’t embarrass you.”
“Don’t underestimate the situation. This time, several schools are collaborating, and the people they bring along are all outstanding young talents. Ordinary graduate students simply can’t compare. Plus, there are several with a family background in medicine, and there’s the genius Daniel Lockwood,” warned Noah as he drove.
Winter and Louis exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming more restrained. “Yes, sir.”
Angela didn’t understand the significance of these details or who Daniel Lockwood was. Finding the conversation boring, she withdrew her gaze from the scenery outside and took out the internal medicine book she had prepared to review.
Winter glanced over. “Angela, are you studying internal medicine?”
Without lifting her eyes, Angela responded with a plain ‘hmm‘ while scribbling with a pencil.
Winter’s eyes flashed with complexity. It wasn’t a problem for Angela to study internal medicine. After all, she was a sophomore, and studying such subjects was normal. However, she wasn’t the type of student that a teacher would take out. Winter and Louis had already self–studied undergraduate content long ago and even undertook experiments that required graduate–level skills..
“Oh, Angela,” Winter exclaimed with feigned surprise. “Haven’t you finished studying the
you be able to keep
content of traditional medicine yet? Louis and I finished it long ago. Will
up later?”
