But applying to the Global Harmony Medical Institute wasn’t something you could do on a whim. You needed a recommendation just to be eligible.
And not just any recommendation—it had to come from someone with a real reputation in the field.
At first, she’d planned to ask her grandfather. But now… a better candidate had come to mind.
The next day, after her classes ended, Anastasia headed straight to the Medical School. After asking around, she found herself standing outside the office of the dean, Mr. Jerome.
When Mr. Jerome saw her at his door, he looked genuinely surprised. “Anastasia? What brings you here?”
“There’s something I’d like to ask you, sir. I need your help.”
He gestured for her to come in, curiosity plain on his face. “What is it?”
Anastasia didn’t beat around the bush. “The entrance exams for Global Harmony Medical Institute are coming up. I’d like you to be my sponsor.”
Mr. Jerome stared at her, as if he’d misheard. “You want what?!”
There were other faculty members in the office, all professors from the Medical School. They all turned to look at Anastasia, equally shocked.
One of them tried to let her down gently. “Do you have any idea how tough their entrance exam is?”
Anastasia’s expression was calm. “I do.”
And most importantly, two years ago, Lauren had earned her place at Global Harmony on her own merits, becoming the youngest student ever admitted. Her reputation as a prodigy was well established throughout the field.
It was obvious to her that Anastasia’s pride had been stung—she wanted to prove herself, to compete with Lauren. But that didn’t mean she was ready.
Didn’t she realize how far behind she was? The Brennan family had poured years into Lauren’s training. How could Anastasia possibly compare?
“Dean Jerome,” Anastasia said, her voice steady and sincere. “I’m not joking, and I’m not acting on impulse. I’ve thought about this for a long time, and I’ve prepared for it even longer. This is a decision I’ve made after careful consideration.”
