Chapter 0225 Within seconds , a large amount of related data appeared on the screen .

Sandy shouted , Sir , sir ! Come over , quick ! Check if these are the data … The technician hurried to the computer and began working .

After a bit of clicking , he said , It looks like some data is being read back , but Im not sure if its what youre looking for .

Someone needs to verify it .

Elizabeth immediately stepped forward to check , and the technician gave her his seat .

As seconds ticked by , Sandy grew impatient watching Elizabeths silence .

Well , say something ! How much data has been restored ? … Most of it , Elizabeth said , biting her lip , though her expression didnt show much relief .

Dissatisfied with her vague answer , Sandy decided to check for herself .

Once she confirmed , she finally relaxed .

Thank goodness , weve recovered 99 % ! She wrapped her arm around Miranda .

We really owe you for this , otherwise wed be in tears ! It wouldve taken at least two more weeks of overtime to recreate this data .

No wonder youre a Bedford College student ; your mind works so quickly , the technician said , slapping his thigh in admiration .

He didnt hold back his praise .

Silas nodded in agreement , his eyes brimming with admiration and gratitude .

Exactly , this time , its all thanks to Miranda ! He sighed and added with a playful tone , Dr.

Jefferson really has a keen eye , huh ? He saw the potential early on and locked down a great talent like her .

Smart move ! Although he spoke sincerely , there was a hint of teasing in his eyes .

Pauls expression remained unchanged , as if he hadnt caught the underlying meaning .

Nonetheless , his hands subconsciously clenched into a fist .

Realizing how affected he had become , he took a deep breath and forced his hand to relax .

Even so , there were some things that , once disturbed , were hard to settle again .

Bryan clicked his tongue a couple of times , staring at Miranda like she was some foreign specimen .

He seemed particularly intrigued by her brain .

After a long moment , he finally asked , … Miranda , did you ever compete on that show called The Brain ? Miranda was at a loss for words .

Sandy and Silas burst into laughter and couldnt stop .

Only Elizabeth looked at Miranda with a gaze that was cold and deep .

Sandy noticed Mirandas speechless expression , then glanced at Pauls slightly helpless face .

She then turned to see Bryans concerned look toward Elizabeth , and the clear hostility in Elizabeths eyes .

It seemed the lab wouldnt be boring from now on .

She decided shed start bringing tea from home tomorrow .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0225 The incident with the virus on the lab computer was significant .

At best , it was an accident ; at worst , it was a breach of confidentiality and data theft .

Paul stated firmly , We must find the source .

11 The IT technician replied , Dont worry .

Even if you dont , the college will make sure it gets investigated .

From the time the problem began to the full recovery of the data , they had spent the entire day dealing with it .

By the time all the details were handled , night had fallen .

With the situation resolved , everyone left for home .

Paul stayed behind at the lab to wrap things up , so Miranda went home alone .

Luckily , her place was close .

It was just a few minutes walk away .

As soon as she got in , she threw herself onto the couch , stretched her body , and let out a contented sigh .

Her phone then buzzed with a WhatsApp notification .

Barely able to keep her eyes open , she unlocked her phone to check .

It was a message from Paul .

Thanks for today .

The source of the virus has been identified .

Miranda rolled over and quickly sat up , replying , That fast ?
