Chapter 220

Yours To Begin With

She was excited to meet these heavyweights and learn from them, so Rosalie quickly put down her
cutlery and accepted the invitation. She thanked Leon profusely.

“Thank you for thinking of me, Leon! I’m really looking forward to this!” She reacted like a child who had
just been given some candy. Leon was all smiles to see her get so excited for once. “Don’t need to
thank me. You left in a hurry after you performed that surgery for my family, and I didn’t have the time to
thank you properly. Everyone back home is nagging me to treat you to a meal because they feel bad.
Think of this as a token of our gratitude.”

Rosalie was thrilled at the chance to attend the conference, and she simply smiled in response to his
words. “I was in a hurry to pick up my kids that day. Besides, I only did what I was supposed to.”

She added concernedly, “Oh, right. How is that patient doing now? I didn’t have enough time to give
him a checkup after the surgery.” Leon said, “He was transferred to the normal ward the day after the
surgery. Thanks to you, all he needs now is some rest to recuperate.”

Rosalie did not want to accept the credit. She changed the topic with a smile. “They invited you to the
conference, right? Are you sure it’s alright for me to tag along?”

Leon had made a name for himself in the medical field, and his family background gave him a good
boost too. The heavyweights of the field had high hopes for him, and many of them had publicly
praised him.

On the other hand, Rosalie was nobody. They probably had never even heard of her.

Rosalie was worried she would bring down the quality of the conference just by being there.



Leon could not help but be amused at the implication. “You’ve been studying under Professor Luke for
years. Do you really think you’re still the nobody you were when you first went overseas? The others
may not have heard of Rosalie, but I’m sure they know Dr. R. Jacobs.”

A look of pleasant surprise flashed across Rosalie’s face.

She scratched her nose with a sheepish grin. She was so used to being humble that she had almost
forgotten about the reputation she built for herself overseas.

**

In that case, don’t mind ill join you.” She smiled as she put the invitation into her bag.

Lori nodded, “It was yours to begin with.”

“The invitation said that the conference will take place tomorrow afternoon. When are we leaving”
Rosalle pressed won’s smile wide ved at her enthusiasm. “Tomorrow morning. We can rest for a bit
after we get there and make it in time for the conference, If we have time, we can also pay each of the
beavyweights a personal visit”

Rosalie was even more excited at the prospect, so she agreed without a moment’s hesitation.”

Alright, then I’ll buy our plane tickets for us.”

Leon did not decline her little offer, so he accepted with a smile.

It was almost time to go back to work, but she was still over the moon. Feeling a tad exasperated, Leon
tapped the table and told Rosalie, “Eat up. You barely had anything to eat just now.”

Rosalie finally returned to the present. She glanced at the time and ate a few more mouthfuls before
she stood up and bade him goodbye. “I have more work to do in the afternoon, so I’ll head back to the



research institute now. I’ll tell you once I bought the tickets.”

Leon nodded in acknowledgment.

Rosalie’s mood had been affected by her unpleasant encounter with Byron in the morning.

However, that all went away after lunch, tempered by her excitement for the conference. As a result,
Rosalie was smiling all afternoon while she worked.
