Chapter 28

Once back in the college, Olivia dove straight into the lab and became heedless of the passage of time, often even forgetting to eat or sleep. Her mentor worried that her health would collapse, specially arranged for someone to remind her.

She was swamped. Though she was just a graduate student, Olivia was the one leading this experiment and responsible for making all the arrangements. Earlier on, due to the issues back in the Taylor family, the experiment’s progress had been delayed quite a lot.

Furthermore, some students had made mistakes or deviations from the plan, which she had to correct bit by bit.

This day, after a whole morning of busy work, she sat in the lounge for lunch.

Several senior students had gathered around her, asking for her guidance.

Olivia took a bite from the bun and swallowed it, slowly considering how to resolve the problem they had brought before her. It was not difficult to solve, but a bit complicated and hard to grasp. She needed to explain it so the others could easily understand.

Just as she was figuring it out, her phone rang.

Subconsciously, she reached for it with her hand, and as she was about to turn the phone off, she saw a familiar name: Andy Baby.

A name she had saved.

This call was a pleasant surprise, and her heart softened with a clear feeling of fondness.

Putting down the bun, she picked up her phone and nodded to the people around her, “I gotta pick up a call.”

Walking over to the window, she answered the call. “Andrew?”

“Olivia…” The soft voice of a little boy emerged from the phone. “What are you busy with lately?”

Olivia shook her head. “I’m not busy.”

“Oh.” The little boy was a bit disappointed. Why hadn’t she kept in touch with him then? Did Olivia not like her anymore?
