Chapter 252
Chapter 252
Hannah didn’t feel for Owen, but never had she expected him to fall for Aria.
“Why does such a respectful man like a hypocrite?” she wondered.
While Hannah was lost in thought, Aria had walked out of the house.
She didn’t need Hannah to lead the way because she knew Jamelan better than Hannah.
Winston trusted Aria, so all the pets and livestock had been locked in one place as requested.
As for the rodent plan; it was being carried out.
All eyes were on Aria as she arrived at the temporary headquarters of the medical tearns.
Most villagers locked themselves at home, and the people on the road were medical workers in protective clothes. Therefore, Aria in casual clothes stood out among the crowd instantly.
“Is she the donor of those defective machines?”
“Yeah, that’s her.”
“How unruly! She wanders around with only a mask on her face. She will complain of us if she is infected.”
Hearing the discussion, Giana shot back, “She’s a professor at Kerano Global Health. The Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention think highly of her. If she got infected, she wouldn’t need our help.”
Aria headed straight to an analyzer and carefully checked its exterior for any signs of damage. After the machine was confirmed to be intact, she clicked on the machine.
Right then, Cyril appeared with his medical team. At the sight of Aria, he barked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Hannah arrived later than Cyril, but she answered his question in time. “Cyril, that’s Aria.”
“Aria? The hypocritical fraud?”
“Yes.”
With a short conversation, Hannah and Cyril convicted Aria.
Aria remained calm with her eyes on the interface of the machine. Her fingers moved fast, and she quickly checked the parameters of the machine.
“What is she doing?” Cyril asked.
One medical worker near Aria answered, “Checking the equipment.”
Right then, a local office arrived and didn’t miss the conversation on site. He walked to Aria and said, “Ms. Saxon, we checked the machine. It is great, and there is no problem with its settings. However, we can’t get accurate test results.”
Aria straightened her back. Her hands left the keyboard and supported her body up. She looked at the crowd and said, “So, the machines are
“No!” Cyril shouted. “If they are fine, why are the test results inaccurate?”
A sneer appeared on Aria’s face. “You tell me. You are the expert.”
Cyril’s face darkened. “You donated the machines.”

“Yeah, I donated them. You didn’t pay me.”
Aria crossed her arms and said coldly, “The environments, the operations, and the conditions of the test samples can affect the test results. Why do you insist that the machines are the problem?”
There came no answer.
Hannah opened her mouth. “I already let my family send a batch of new machines over. We will have the answer when the new test results are out
Hearing Hannah’s donation, Vincent said flatteringly, “Ms. Gibson, you’re so thoughtful.”
“Fine. I will take the machines away since they are defective in your eyes,” Aria said.
She didn’t want to waste her time on the hustlers anymore. She would cure the villagers as long as they trusted her.
Cyril changed his expression and had a flash of displeasure in his eyes. “To reclaim the stuff you donated? Ms. Saxon, how impressive!*
He had his own plan about the machines donated by Aria, but she reclaimed them now.
Hannah responded, “We’re too busy to give you a hand.”
“Aria donated the defective machines and then reclaimed them. The rumors will kill her soon. Serve her right!” Hannah thought
“Her hands are here,” a firm and authoritative voice said.
The crowd turned their heads to the doorway and saw a volunteer coming with determined steps.
The volunteer was tall, and there was fortitude in his eyes. The comer was Caleb.
Aria was surprised to see her brother there. “Caleb? What are you doing here?”
With smiling eyes above the mask, Caleb walked to Aria and stopped by her side. “I came to help you.”
Half an hour ago, Caleb ran into a group of medical students from Mandino University on his way to Jamelan, and they came as volunteers
Without hesitation, Caleb joined the students and hurried to Jamelan together.
In the name of Aria, Caleb donated many things, including some analyzers.
Before he caught his breath, he heard two passersby say that another supply of Aria’s defective machines had come.
Instantly, his expression changed. Before he figured out the whole story, Winston arrived.
After the long run, Winston caught his breath. Then, he said with a grateful smile, “Mr. Saxon, thank you very much.”
During his last visit to Jamelan, Caleb exchanged his contact information with Winston.
Caleb asked Winston about the rumors of Aria’s defective machines. Winston sighed and then gave an explanation. In an instant, Caleb’s face darkened.
One volunteer asked, “Are you talking about Professor Colton from Kerano Global Health?”
Winston nodded. “Yes.”
Caleb said decisively, “Winston, I will leave the distribution to you. As for the analyzers…”
He turned to the medical students and asked, “Can you operate them?”
It was conspicuous that Caleb planned to build his medical team. Eyeball to eyeball, the medical students looked at each other.

Chapter 252
Mandino University was renowned for its rigorous academic standards. Its medical students boasted both a solid theoretical foundation and strong practical skills.
Yet only a handful of students among the volunteers had interned in the hospital. Were they competent to take the job?
Right then, Helen said, “Mr. Saxon, we can, but we need a leader. Will Professor Colton be our leader?”
Caleb nodded while saying firmly, “She will.”
The medical students were supposed to work in logistics this time.
Now, they were offered an opportunity to analyze the new virus.
What a rare chance! This experience might change their lives forever.
With Aria as their leader, they had a very good chance to succeed. A wave of excitement swept through them.
“I’m in! Let’s build our own medical team!”
“Even Professor Colton gets questioned, so they won’t trust us. I am in.”
Caleb shared his plan with Aria.
Then, they walked to the medical students. Soon, Aria was surrounded by her new team members. “Professor Colton, will you lead us to study the new virus?”
“Professor Colton, can you join Mandino University? I want to be
your student.”
“Professor Colton…”
Aria was moved by the sincere and enthusiastic students. With a faint smile, she said, “Okay, I will join Mandino University. Let’s solve the problem first.”
