Second Chances
CHAPTER 145

Chapter 145

ecause that happened five years ago when I was just fifteen!” Emma’s words caused the entire research institute

to fall into silence.

A moment later, Mona burst into laughter. “Hahaha! A fifteen-year-old? What a ridiculous lie! Besides the prodigy Grail, who else in the world could achieve such feats? Emma, do you think we’re fools?” Mona’s derision also

reflected the unspoken thoughts of the others.

Obtaining Holy Orchid Hero Emblem at the age of 15 was impossible! Emma must be bragging!

Emma’s expression remained unchanged, her serene features displaying a calmness and composure beyond her

age.

Under her long eyelashes, her eyes remained calm as she spoke in a cold tone, “Sorry, but I’m Grail.”

Then, she took out the Grail Hero Emblem she had recently acquired from Bank Shalor, exhibiting its rarity as one of only three in existence, with her profile engraved on it.

She was no longer just a Holy Orchid doctor; she had ascended to Level Grail, a title named after her.

As soon as Emma finished speaking, shock rippled through everyone at the research institute, including the prosecutor, who appeared visibly surprised. ‘Grail? Is she the Grail that the entire world has been seeking? How can this be? T

Mona was stunned for a second before swhe cursed, “You liar, you’re lying!”

Emma called Chloe, putting her on speakerphone, and Chloe’s enthusiastic voice resonated throughout the room. “Ms. Grail! I apologize for the last time. I…”

Chloe was the judge of Holy Orchid Hero Emblem.

When she heard how Chloe addressed Emma, Mona’s eyes widened in shock! ‘Emma is really Grail!’

The lead inspector quickly contacted the higher authorities to verify the situation. Within half a minute, he lowered his head and apologized to Emma. “I apologize, Miss Emma, for disrupting your work and the entire research -institute without thorough investigation. I am truly sorry.”

The inspectors had just confirmed with the higher-ups. Emma didn’t lie. And she was the famous Grail!

Emma did not want to reveal her true identity. However, Mona forced her to do so.

If she was called in to investigate, the research would have to be paused.

After the inspectors left, Emma returned to the laboratory to do research as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 145

She remained remarkably composed while everyone else at the research institute was bustling with excitement.

“She’s truly a Grail!” someone exclaimed. “Grail is renowned in the medical field, but she’s just a 20-year-old girl… Comparisons are exasperating… Dr. Jay, you have excellent taste.”

Henry smiled politely, but in that instant, he glared coldly at Mona. “Mona, I believe it’s time for you to leave this

research institute.”

Mona was still in shock over the fact that Emma was Grail. “How… How is this possible…” Mona murmured to

herself.

Now she comprehended Chloe’s behavior towards Emma and why she was reluctant to assist her. It was because

Emma was Grail!

Mona snapped out of her daze, but it was already too late. She started Mona snapped out of her daze, but it was too late. She engaged in internal conflict, spread rumors, and tarnished Emma’s reputation. No major medical institutions would hire her now.

Years of diligent study could all be undone if one’s character did not meet the required standards, regardless of

their level of expertise.

The news that Emma was Grail quickly spread online!

Someone commented: [Who said that Miss Wilson was an imposter? Come out and get slapped!]

Another person commented: [F**k, this reversal is awesome!]

Someone commented: [Why isn’t Leon saying anything now? He could have spent the money helping poor children instead of hiring trolls! He is so ruthless!]

When Levi saw the news, he was so thrilled that he almost shouted, “Mr. Halll Mrs. Hall is Grail! She’s the Grail we’ve been seeking for years!”

Before Liam’s legs had fully recovered, Levi had been searching for Grail’s whereabouts, unexpectedly, that person was right in front of them.

Levi was extremely excited, but Liam was very calm as if he had known it all along!

“Mr. Hall… Aren’t you excited? Or did she tell you long ago?” Levi asked.

“No,” Liam answered calmly.

“So you’ve already guessed it?” Levi asked.

“Yeah,” Liam answered as he took a sip of coffee.

Chapter 145

Ever since the last time he probed the black market with T, he was certain of Emma’s identity.

There were not many people who could match his hacking abilities and resist his cyberattacks, leaving only one possibility. Grail was S. In other words, Grail was Emma.

Once Grail’s identity was exposed, it would be impossible for her to keep a low profile.

What further surprised netizens was that, aside from being known as Grail, she also had another identity as the talented designer Youth.

She was a big shot in both industries. That was amazing.

People wondered how many more secrets did she have.

Leon was furious. He shared a lengthy post detailing the impossibility of acquiring the Holy Orchid Hero Emblem at the age of 15, but the post was deleted before gaining traction!

Leon stared at his phone, furiously tapping the screen and repeatedly refreshing it, almost causing damage to the

device.

Ultimately, he came across an official statement from the Pharmaceutical Medical Association defending Emma. The post highlighted Emma’s role as a key member of the Eastern Pharmaceutical Association, emphasizing her significant contributions to research and the development of new treatments. The statement urged people to refrain from spreading rumors or disparaging Emma, referring to her as an exemplary individual worthy of admiration and pride.

After several weeks of sleepless nights, the research institute finally overcame the final obstacle in developing a treatment for the virus.

Everyone could finally relax and take a break, with Emma being the one who had expended the most energy.

Upon returning to Icovine Estate, Emma rested in Liam’s embrace and slept until noon the following day, enjoying a full 12 hours of sleep.

The following afternoon, as Emma stirred awake, the bedroom was already permeated with the aroma of food. Liam entered the room bearing a tray of food.

Emma glanced at the plate, which was filled with an assortment of exquisite dishes.

Emma, who had been preoccupied with her studies, neglected proper meals. However, upon seeing the delicious dishes prepared by the Chef of the Icovine Estate, she realized just how hungry she truly was!

Liam fed her carefully. “When I hugged you last night, you felt so thin that I could feel your bones. You need to eat

more.”

Chapter 145

Emma smiled shyly and took a bite of the soup, but it was too hot for her to swallow.

“Slow down. It’s all yours.” Liam looked at her dotingly.

Emma couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s challenging for those in research. They’re exhausted, and the food is mediocre. Professional doctors are truly heroes.”

Liam touched her hair. “That’s why I don’t want you to be a doctor,”

Emma nodded. “By the way, I heard that many people were criticizing me online! Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy to go online lately.”

“I’ve deleted all of them,” Liam stated. “Your uncle Sean also helped a lot. By the way, when I last spoke to him, he mentioned that your uncle Richard is planning to visit Troln City.”

‘Uncle Richard?’ Emma had four uncles. So far, she had only seen two. Eldest Uncle Daniel and Third Uncle Sean.

Emma had never seen her second oldest uncle Richard.

Liam said mysteriously. “Your uncle Richard sent you a gift. Do you want to take a look now?”
