Nora exhaled deeply and gave a firm nod. "I understand, Professor, Mrs. Vance. I won't let you down!"

Returning to her workstation, Nora dedicated the rest of the day to refining her thesis. She worked relentlessly until the end of her shift, making sure to check on Annabel's condition before leaving. Seeing that the little girl was steadily improving gave Nora a profound sense of reassurance.

Feeling confident, she headed home, packed all her materials for the next day, and went to bed early.

Waking up four hours ahead of schedule, Nora meticulously packed her research proposals and thesis into her briefcase. She double-checked her notes one last time, ensuring everything was flawless.

Barely two blocks away from her house, her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw Seraphina's name.
