Chapter 290

HG13 virus transmission can be effectively blocked by early – stage infection medication .
Building on this foundation , the veterinary expert team conducted in – depth research and successfully developed a medication to block viral transmission among poultry and livestock .
This breakthrough was led by Hannah .
Hannah , dressed in a white lab coat bearing the Heffner Hospital logo , appeared arm in arm with Liam , surrounded by an admiring crowd .
Following behind her were five doctors and nurses , also in white coats , their faces alight with admiration and gratitude for Hannah .

Liam watched all this with a slightly grave expression . “ Hannah , I heard the clinical trial application from those Mandino University students was revoked due to plagiarism allegations ? ”
Hannah’s eyes flickered with a barely perceptible unease before she curved her lips into a gentle smile . “ I’m not really sure either ,” she said softly ..

She smiled and said , “ If Dr. Tinsley’s team hadn’t had their application rejected , I wouldn’t have even had a shot at this . Maybe it’s your luck rubbing off on me just because you’re here with me . ”
The team members behind them chimed in , “ Who could be luckier than us ? Working with Dr. Gibson is such a golden opportunity – we’re definitely going places ! ”
Another teammate chimed in , “ Exactly ! Following you means we’ll all get a piece of the pie ! ”
Though they said otherwise , all five knew perfectly well that Hannah’s experiment – from start to finish – had nothing to do with them .
Hannah generously included all their names in the research credits – after all , who would be foolish enough to turn down such an offer ?
The villagers also crowded around to thank Hannah .
Initially , only a few thousand viewers tuned in to the livestream .
Viewer A : [ Hey , I heard Aria Saxon is here too – where is she ? ]
Viewer B : [ First , she lost to Hannah Gibson on the P – virus , and now they’re both researching the same virus , and she lost again – no wonder she doesn’t
dare show her face . ]
Viewer C : [ Rumor has it Aria Saxon brought 28 Mandino students to the project , yet still got outdone by Hannah Gibson working solo . ]
Viewer D : [ And she calls herself a professor ? What an absolute disgrace ! ]
Viewer E : [ Come on , Aria Saxon mainly studies viruses in livestock and poultry . You trolls are as clueless as ever . ]
In rapid succession , hundreds of accounts were banned , leaving the screen flooded with nothing but uniform positive comments .
A red carpet was rolled out across the ground as Hannah , Liam , and their five team members made their way to the center stage .
Winston grasped Hannah’s hand . “ Dr. Gibson , we appreciate everything you’ve done for our community . ”
His tone was earnest , but his eyes betrayed little gratitude – instead , they revealed a cold detachment .
Liam sensed something was off – a growing unease gnawed at him .
Hannah’s gaze swept casually around the room . As she noticed that neither Aria nor any Mandino University students were present , a quiet sigh of relief escaped her .

At that moment , Ramon approached from the other side . Hannah let go of Liam’s arm and stepped forward . “ Mr. Harmon , I sincerely apologize for impulsively kicking Giana that day . I admit my mistake , but as a member of Heffner Hospital , I believe our institution is entitled to share credit for this research breakthrough . ”
Ramon fixed her with an icy stare , a derisive smirk playing on his lips . “ Share ? Don’t bother ! Effective immediately , you’re fired . Heffner Hospital will never employ someone who would recklessly endanger lives , much less entrust patients to your care .”
The moment those words were spoken , the crowd fell into stunned silence .
The live chat flooded the screen : [ What’s going on here now ? Has the dean of Heffner Hospital lost his mind ? ]
Ramon had issued a strict gag order about Giana’s pregnancy , keeping the public completely unaware of it .
Hannah’s face twisted in an instant , her expression contorting with shock .
