Chapter 27

The girl’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she looked thrilled beyond words.

Sarah couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, that’s me. I never expected the professors would wait for my return."

As her words sank in, the crowd erupted in amazement, especially the psychology students.

Everyone in the department knew about the legendary senior student - not just academically brilliant, but clinically gifted beyond precedent. A once-in-a-generation talent. When she’d been forced to leave just before graduation, declaring she wouldn’t be returning, all the professors, even the dean, had come together to grant her an indefinite academic leave, hoping she’d someday come back.

It was something completely unprecedented.

It was their way of saying how much they valued her.

Remembering those days, Sarah’s eyes softened with warmth.

The students around her were buzzing with excitement.

“So it’s really her? I can’t believe it! I even had the chance to read one of her papers—it’s a masterpiece!”
