His vocabulary was clearly much richer than that of other children his age.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian was a little surprised; this interest wasn\u2019t typical for a\u00a0<\/p>\n
child.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Can you understand them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of them, yes. Some, no.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin said honestly, \u201cBut I find looking at the structures very\u00a0<\/p>\n
interesting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian\u2019s interest was piqued. He tried asking in a more\u00a0<\/p>\n
professional tone, \u201cAre you interested in life sciences, then?\u00a0<\/p>\n
For example, why do bunnies have long ears, or why can deer\u00a0<\/p>\n
run so fast?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin tilted his head in thought, then nodded. \u201cI\u2019m interested. Mom said there are lots of little cells in my body working hard\u00a0<\/p>\n
to protect me from getting sick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused, then added in a small voice, \u201cLike lots of tiny\u00a0<\/p>\n
engineers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The metaphor made Adrian smile, and he was also secretly amazed by the child\u2019s comprehension and logic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a very good metaphor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian said approvingly, \u201cHow these \u2018little engineers\u2018 work, how they build and maintain our bodies, and even how they help us fight off diseases\u2026 that\u2019s part of what the field of\u00a0<\/p>\n
biopharmaceuticals studies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the curiosity and focus in Kevin\u2019s eyes, he continued to\u00a0<\/p>\n
explain in simple terms:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like the mechanical diagrams you see, the human body is\u00a0<\/p>\n
also a very precise and complex machine. And\u00a0<\/p>\n
biopharmaceuticals are like designing and manufacturing\u00a0<\/p>\n
special tools and parts to repair this machine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He made another analogy: \u201cFor example, if some of the little\u00a0<\/p>\n
engineers in Mrs. Miller\u2019s body get tired or have a small\u00a0<\/p>\n
problem, we might be able to develop new tools to help them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This explanation clearly resonated with Kevin; he thought of Mrs. Miller, and a thoughtful look appeared on his little face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian felt something stir as he watched the boy\u2019s focused\u00a0<\/p>\n
expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d seen plenty of students, but rarely one who could so\u00a0<\/p>\n
calmly grasp and ponder such issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A desire to nurture this talent welled up inside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He asked, half\u2013joking and half\u2013serious, \u201cKevin, are you\u00a0<\/p>\n
interested in these little engineers and the tools for fixing\u00a0<\/p>\n
machines?\u00a0<\/p>\n
aybe someday, you could come to my lab and see how real\u00a0<\/p>\n
cientists work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t resist adding, with a hint of hidden hope, \u201cIf you\u2019re\u00a0<\/p>\n
interested in this down the road, you\u2019re more than welcome to\u00a0<\/p>\n
be my student.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin blinked his big eyes, a little confused about what it all\u00a0<\/p>\n
meant, but he could sense the sincerity and invitation in\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t answer right away, but instead thought about it\u00a0<\/p>\n
seriously for a moment, like a little adult.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he looked up at Adrian and asked in his distinctively soft\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
yet clear, childlike voice:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Shaw, would it be very hard to invent new tools to help lots\u00a0<\/p>\n
of people like Mrs. Miller?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian was taken aback for a moment, then an indescribable\u00a0<\/p>\n
warmth spread through his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The boy\u2019s heart was even more astonishing than his\u00a0<\/p>\n
intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He nodded very seriously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be very hard. You\u2019ll have to learn a great deal and\u00a0<\/p>\n
experience many failures, but,\u201d he paused, looking into Kevin\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes, \u201cif you succeed, it will be an incredibly meaningful and\u00a0<\/p>\n
valuable thing to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin didn\u2019t seem to fully understand, but his clear eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
sparkled as if a tiny flame had just been ignited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t say yes or no, just nodded lightly, as if carefully\u00a0<\/p>\n
tucking the proposal away in his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hmm, it seems like there are a lot of things you can do when\u00a0<\/p>\n
you grow up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
Uncle Bradley even asked him last time if he wanted to be a\u00a0<\/p>\n
doctor when he grew up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian smiled, his mind drifting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having a child with Rebecca\u2026 that wouldn\u2019t be bad at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, his phone rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian pulled it out and looked at it, his expression turning cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKevin, I\u2019m just going to step aside and take this call.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian walked to a quieter corner behind a pillar and answered\u00a0<\/p>\n
the phone, his tone distant and cold. \u201cRosalind Vance, what is\u00a0<\/p>\n
it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A gentle but slightly stubborn female voice came from the other\u00a0<\/p>\n
end of the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdrian, I heard you went to the Whitman family\u2019s birthday\u00a0<\/p>\n
banquet today?\u00a0<\/p>\n
An occasion like that, a family with the Whitman\u2019s family pedigree, they\u2019re bound to care about connections and benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone with your status\u2026 didn\u2019t you feel out of place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The speaker was Rosalind, the strategic marriage candidate the\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shaw family had been wanting Adrian to meet. Her family held\u00a0<\/p>\n
a stable position in the political world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words sounded like concern, but they actually hinted at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
gap and incompatibility between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian\u2019s brow furrowed slightly, his tone unwavering. \u201cYou don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
need to worry about me, Rosalind. I\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rosalind didn\u2019t seem to mind his coldness and continued in a\u00a0<\/p>\n
soft voice:\u00a0<\/p>\n
