Jeff furrowed his brows and pressed further, "So, what are your thoughts? Yesterday, this man mentioned that if you were willing to return and join him in his research, you could request anything. He also mentioned having the backing of Mercury Corp. I have dug into Mercury Corp. It's an elusive financial group with global reach. With the backing of such a supporter, you can conduct your research with unwavering confidence. Your talent is evident to everyone. The accomplishments you've made here are exclusive to the people of

Faymoor."

Knowing that she couldn't go back to her home country, especially with the mention of Mercury Corp, she was more determined to refrain from return.

“Then why don't you go back?" There was caution in her voice.

“Although I was born in Azmar, I've grown up here. My entire family resides here. We've integrated into this place and can't go back," Jeff explained, his gaze fixed on Camila. "But you're different. You're a newcomer. Remember how they initially rejected you when you joined the center? Only after witnessing your exceptional skills did their opinion change."

He paused before continuing, “Your language proficiency and talent have afforded you a good Life here. Yet, they're exploiting you. Deep down, you're still a citizen of Azmar. Don't you wish to save more patients from your homeland?"

“I treat all Lives equally," Camila responded steadfastly.

Jeff's enthusiasm waned. "Very well. Will you reconsider?"

Camila, her fists clenched inside her pockets, replied firmly, “No need. I won't go back.”

Jeff had no other recourse.

His words had indeed stirred something within Camila‘'s heart.

However, she felt trapped by circumstances.

She needed time to gather her thoughts and regain her composure.

As she exited the building, a figure suddenly materialized before her. It caused her eyes to widen in fright. Instinctively, she tried to retreat, only to find herself frozen in place.

She was intercepted by the person.

“Jane?" Jaylen reached out and took a closer look at the badge on her chest, his surprise evident.

"I never expected it to be you. You're from the Madeline Research Center. That's a good thing for me."

His own perceptiveness impressed him. Despite her mask, he could recognize her.

Rumors had reached Jaylen's ears that Isaac might be investing in the total artificial heart project and he had set his sights on poaching talent from the Madeline Research Center.

Knowing Isaac's track record, Jaylen wanted to secure recruits before him.

He intended to invest in the research of the total artificial heart. However, the truth was that he knew next to nothing about it.

He lacked adequate connections to make up for that.

Arriving here had felt like stumbling around in the dark, until he found himself halted outside the door.

It was in that moment of distress that he caught sight of Camila.

It was as if he had grasped a lifeline, a glimmer of hope.
