Chapter 018: Getting Serious!

Luther Holmes's eyes darkened, and his somber face tensed up a bit, clearly resisting.

"This won't be the only time, I can't always be lucky enough to make it in time, and besides, you have to learn to protect yourself."

Tiana Williams's cool voice was filled with composure, she glanced at him, sighed, and continued—

"You have no way out. We can't choose where we come from, but I believe when our mother gave birth to us, she definitely hoped we would have a good life. Life is unpredictable, she didn't expect things to turn out like this... Luther, whatever happens, whatever you face... never let it be a reason for us to give up on ourselves... On the road of growth, each of us will encounter many hardships, but if we persist just that little bit longer and get through it, what awaits us may just be a glorious dawn."

Tiana Williams actually wasn't very skilled at providing psychological support to others, but perhaps because she made her own way following this approach, she often found it easier to empathize with them.

She had advised many students with troubled thoughts before, and these students would eventually see the light and embark on the journey of their dreams once again.

Therefore, she was quite a reputable professor at G University. However, few people knew that she herself was once someone in need of healing, having sought the help of several psychologists. Later, it was she who, outside of her professional life, studied psychology and healed herself.

"I don't want to go back to the Tower Clan. Can I stay with you for a while? Once I'm well, I'll go rent a place on my own..."

Luther Holmes was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked this question, with a glint of contemplation in his eyes.

Tiana Williams was a bit surprised, but considering Vincent Holmes's attitude, it wasn't difficult to understand.

"If it's not possible, never mind."

After waiting a few seconds without an answer from Tiana Williams, Luther Holmes withdrew his request, not wishing to trouble her.

Seeing the gloom on his face, Tiana Williams responded a moment later, "You can, but you must cooperate with me and focus on your studies. Over the next couple of days, take a look at these key points, and once you are out of the hospital, we can start formal training. First, try to pass the entrance exam of G University Attached High School."

Luther remained quiet, then nodded, "Okay."

Tiana Williams finally appeared satisfied and reached for her bag.

Luther glanced over subconsciously—

He saw that she was holding a transparent large bag; inside were several books, lesson plans, pens, and a few sheets of paper covered in formulas.

The books were "Astrophysics" and "Quantum Mechanics."

"You teach physics?"

After a moment's thought, Luther asked this question.

"The university curriculum is quite complex. I'm a teacher in the Department of Physics, with my main focus on Astronomy. Aside from these specialized courses, I also teach some basic courses in Physics and Chemistry for the general public. If you're interested, then work hard—G University Department of Physics welcomes you."

As Tiana Williams finished speaking, she already had a lesson plan in her hand, along with those densely filled sheets of paper. She quickly scanned them before handing them over to him—

"Your foundation is not very strong, you need to rebuild it. These are key points and test points that I've summarized and sorted out; familiarize yourself with them for now. We will go over each one thoroughly later. As for English, start with simple vocabulary accumulation."

Tiana Williams was very systematic with her planning, having summarized and sorted out the key points rather thoroughly in just a few days.

Luther looked at the lesson plans and papers she handed over. Upon opening them, they were indeed the key points for their exams—thick, many pages!

They were all in her vigorous, neat handwriting, with illustrations enhancing the explanations, making some of the key points seemingly more accessible, and she was adept at using examples to summarize the concepts!

Luther Holmes just casually looked at an example and unexpectedly found that this knowledge point wasn't as difficult as he had thought; before, he couldn't understand why this problem had to be solved in that particular way, and the given answers and analyses were not adequate. But looking at her lesson plans, it clearly dawned on him, his understanding deepened, and she even extended the topic...

Luther Holmes was stunned, his dark eyes filled with a hint of incredulity!

Could it be that in just these few short days, she had accomplished so much? Not only had she caused chaos within the Tower Clan, but she'd also summarized these knowledge points so brilliantly, and it seemed she was even going to teach a class!

Didn't she need any rest?

Luther Holmes lifted his gaze, his dark eyes gathering a faint luminescent glow as he quietly observed Tiana Williams. Only then did he vaguely notice the dark circles under her eyes, she seemed quite exhausted, presumably from not getting good rest over these past days.

"You put all this... together in just a few days?"

His voice, slightly cold, carried a touch of bewilderment.

Tiana Williams glanced at him, her ethereally beautiful face remaining calm and collected, "These knowledge points may be difficult for you, but they are not a problem for those of us who regularly apply them. Summarizing and organizing also require a particular method."

Looking at the summaries before him, Luther suddenly felt the lesson plan had a certain gravitas. He put down his inner guard and caution, beginning to follow along and read.

A cool sensation suddenly spread across his burning cheek, upon glancing up, he realized she had handed him a towel.

"Apply it for a while."

The slap from Vincent Holmes must have used all his strength; otherwise, it wouldn't have swelled so badly.

At this thought, a chill of anger involuntarily rose in Tiana Williams' eyes.

"Thank you…"

Taking the towel, Luther Holmes uttered his thanks, and his gaze towards Tiana Williams softened, no longer filled with the resistance and distance from a few days prior.

Tiana Williams reached out and touched his head, "I believe in you. Even if mom is gone, I will still look after you."

Luther Holmes paused, silently withdrawing his gaze and bowing his head.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a bit of sourness in his heart, and a warm undercurrent slowly passed through the depths of his eyes.

...

Tiana Williams left the hospital and went straight back to school.

She had a class that evening and naturally couldn't stay too long.

By the time she returned to G University, it was already six-fifty in the evening. She didn't have time for dinner and went directly to the classroom.

The evening classes at G University generally run from seven to nine.

The course schedule in G University Department of Physics is quite rigorous. Even those who specialize in physics had to study some basic applied sciences such as calculus and chemistry, including practical laboratory courses, tailored to their field of study.

Moreover, G University's curriculum for undergraduates is usually designed with general education courses in the freshman and sophomore years, focusing on major courses during the junior and senior years, and many mentors typically teach several courses...
