Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 67

The next morning, when Wren arrived at Stellaris, the lights in the lab were already on.

Zeke was asleep at his desk, his computer screen still displaying the model results that had finished running overnight. A sticky note was slapped next to it, bearing a scribbled message:

[Wren, the third set of waveforms has stabilized!]

Wren stood in the doorway watching for a moment, a faint smile touching her lips.

This place was entirely different from the Langford Estate.

At the Langford Estate, someone was always waiting for her to clean up their messes, waiting for her to compromise, waiting for her to swallow all her emotions.

But here, everyone was just waiting for a result.

If it was wrong, you fixed it.

If it was stuck, you broke it down.

No one used tears to secure their position, and no one used phrases like "you're the older sister" or "you're the mother" to force her into making sacrifices.

Wren set her bag down. Just as she booted up her computer, Julian pushed the door open and walked in.

He had breakfast in his hand.

"You haven't eaten, have you?"

Wren looked up. "How did you know?"

"If you had, you wouldn't be making your coffee that strong."

Wren glanced down at her mug and couldn't help but smile.

Julian set the breakfast on her desk. He didn't bring up what happened last night, simply handing her a folder.

"The Ethics Board moved the review up to next Wednesday. The hospital wants us to submit the complete risk assessment by Monday."

Wren opened the file.

This was what she truly needed to face today.

The divorce was one track.

But she couldn't just live her life entirely wrapped up in a divorce.

The Stellaris pilot, the upcoming presentation, her mother's research direction—these were the pieces of her life she had to firmly grasp again.

"We've got three things on our plate right now," Julian said. "First, the Ethics Board materials. Second, the Youth Medical Innovation Seminar this Friday. Third, the Langford Medical interface standards—we absolutely cannot let them shoehorn Willow's charity project in."

Wren nodded.
