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 .

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 . ”
