The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Tsinghua University is actually interested_1

”So you are Nathalie Quinlan, right? I’ve seen your videos online, and I didn’t expect you to be even more...” Mr. Garland from Tsinghua University’s admissions department began with a smile but suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

How should he describe the girl in front of him? When he saw her in the video, he thought she was exceptionally calm during surgery despite her young age, but now that he had met her in person, he realized she wasn’t just calm during surgeries. Even hearing that they were from Tsinghua University didn’t elicit much of a reaction from her.

Shouldn’t normal students get excited when they hear ’Tsinghua University’?

After some thought, he concluded that Nathalie Quinlan was simply one of those talented and arrogant types. It’s not surprising for someone with talent to exhibit some pride, he reasoned, and with that, he relaxed his frown and extended his hand to the girl in front of him, ”...you are even more beautiful than what I saw in the videos. Hello, I am Draven Garland.”

Nathalie Quinlan saw his round, smiling face—which was friendly and amiable—but didn’t extend her hand. She pursed her lips and succinctly said, ”Nathalie Quinlan.”

It’s not that she didn’t want to shake hands with him—it’s just that she had a germ phobia.

Shaking hands would cause her an allergic reaction.

However, her behavior was seen differently by others, like Adelle Wafford, who had been watching closely and took Nathalie’s actions as arrogance.

Adelle Wafford furrowed her brows deeply but didn’t say anything, though her face fell an inch.

This Nathalie Quinlan was too arrogant!

Draven Garland, however, didn’t seem to mind. Seeing that Nathalie didn’t shake his hand, he withdrew his own and touched his nose bridge, saying with a smile, ”Nathalie Quinlan, here is the thing. We’ve come to ask if you’re interested in studying medicine.”

Studying medicine? Nathalie Quinlan pursed her lips and her dark eyes narrowed as if deep in thought, ”...it’s alright.”

She had considered what major she would like to pursue. She was uncertain before, but after Lily’s incident, she thought that studying medicine might not be a bad idea.

Seeing that she hadn’t rejected the offer, Draven Garland persisted, ”We saw your videos online and unanimously believe you have a great talent for medicine. It would be a waste if you don’t pursue it. Nathalie Quinlan, how about it? Would you like to further your studies in the clinical medicine program at Tsinghua University?”

In the principal’s office, only his voice could be heard.

Ghania Quinlan was about to leave with Jeff Quinlan when she overheard this and unconsciously clenched her fists so tight that her palms nearly broke skin.

She suddenly remembered the rumors that had spread around the school a while ago, claiming that a Tsinghua University professor was so impressed with the video of Nathalie Quinlan saving someone that he personally came to No. 1 Middle School to recruit her... Ghania originally didn’t believe it, thinking it was just another tall tale concocted by the students in class A to boast about Nathalie.

What kind of school is Tsinghua University? Students used to beg to be admitted to their school; since when had it become Tsinghua actively headhunting?

So, these weren’t just rumors—they were true?!

Ghania felt as if someone was choking her throat, suddenly becoming unable to breathe.

Nathalie Quinlan, sought after by Tsinghua University!

She thought of herself, who barely managed to secure a guaranteed admission spot at National Artists University through backdoor connections. It hadn’t been long since she lost that opportunity and had to transfer to a school like No. 5 Middle School, far inferior to No. 1 Middle School. Meanwhile, Nathalie was stepping over her to dazzle in the limelight at Tsinghua University!

Why is life so unfair between people?!

Jeff Quinlan’s heart was equally heavy.

Yesterday at Waterfront Pavilion, he had already been filled with regret, and Adelia Tucker’s subsequent words only intensified his remorse.

Now, to actually witness his discarded foster daughter being sought after by Tsinghua University, and likely heading to Beijing to broaden her horizons, his heart felt as though it was being tugged by an invisible hand, about to be ripped out of his body...
