When I stood not far from him, stepping onto
the stage to receive the medal symbolizing
the top female soldier, John’s feelings were
even more complicated.
He moved his lips as if wanting to say
something.
But in the end, the proud general still didn’t
lower his head.
He could only watch as I left and rushed to
Mom.
Mom and Sarah weren’t surprised that I
achieved such results.
I had always been physically fit since I was a
child.
After enrolling in military school for college, I
maximized my advantages.
It was the Millers who didn’t understand me
<
enough to discover my strengths.
But how could Mom and Sarah, who had been
with me day and night, not know?
Sarah hugged me, her eyes red.
“My experimental results came out today.”
I was a little surprised.
This experiment was a source of pain for her
in her past life.
After returning to the Carter family, her
results were stolen by her cousin.
Five years of Sarah’s research were wasted
as she watched her cousin rise to fame at her
expense.
L
Everyone praised her cousin as a genius, not
knowing that these things originally belonged
to her.
I remembered that this experiment should
have taken more time to complete.
But Sarah, having relived her life, knew the
content of the experiment like the back of her
hand.
During those years in the basement, she
probably thought about these things
constantly, actually pushing the progress
forward a lot.
She leaned close to my ear and whispered,
“You work hard. Here in the army, you’re my
backing.”
く
“In academia, I’ll take care of you.”
I believed her.
