In John's original plan, the medical school should have been admitted in the fall of 1888, anyway, he now has a doctor of medicine under his hands, and all kinds of experimental equipment are well-equipped, not to mention that there is a Heinz general hospital that can be used for internships for students, and the hardware is definitely very complete. In this respect, it is at least much better than more than half of the medical schools in the United States.

However, after careful consideration, he relaxed the preparation time to three years.

Despite its many advantages, the opening of Heinz General Hospital gave John a warning that it was not easy for a hospital to be known to everyone, no matter what the era. This is especially true when it comes to medical school, so after learning the lessons of the hospital, John decided to extend the preparation time for medical school and make adequate preparations, so as to avoid a situation where there are no students or two or three kittens to be recruited.

After all, this is New York, now the largest city in the United States, and people are not as easy to fool as people in other states, plus there are old institutions such as Columbia College, and if you don't have enough prestige, it is likely that the result will be very embarrassing for John.

So come to think of it, John was ready to delay it for three years.

And John has not planned to be idle in the past three years, at least the school's teaching system should be planned in detail, after all, he is going to do something that has never been done in American history. The textbooks used by the students should also be roughly reviewed and taken out of their minds that could be used at the end of the 19th century. Compared with the hardware preparation, these software preparations are the real big projects......

……

Today's dinner was quite simple.

John was the only one sitting in the huge dining room, and old Huntelaar was on his way to New Jersey for business, and was to stay outside tonight, so he was the only one.

"Sir, there have been four first-class cruise ships going to Europe in the last three months."

After bringing John the last course, Hans dutifully reported to Johan: "Two of the ships will end up in England, one in France, and one in Germany...... There is not much difference in time. Basically, they can meet your requirements. ”

Because Johann was about to go to Europe, Hans inquired very clearly.

Although the time to cross the Atlantic was greatly shortened due to advances in seafaring technology and the development of steamshipbuilding, it was not only for comfort nor for the status of the Huntelaar family. Flying on a cruise ship with first class is a given. In fact, according to the old Huntelaar's meaning, his grandson must not only choose first class when traveling, but also must be the most expensive and comfortable first class. As for John himself, he didn't really care, he was quite comfortable riding a steamer, and it would not be as uncomfortable as a horse-drawn carriage.

"Hmm...... When are the two ships going to the UK? ”

After thinking about it a little. John asked.

Hans tilted his head and immediately replied, "One is in mid-May, and the other is at the end of June." ”

"Then the end of June!"

Without much thought about it this time, John immediately smiled and said, "It's a bit too hasty in mid-May, and I still have some things to do in New York, I'm afraid I can't leave...... Mr. Elber, you don't have to follow me to Europe this time, my grandfather is old and can't do without people around him, so just let Henry accompany me on a trip. ”

"Okay. Mr. ”

After hearing John's words, although his face was silent, Hans was secretly relieved in his heart.

Although he could get more salary by following John to Europe, even several times more, Hans still felt a little unbearable when he thought of the years when he was separated from his wife and children. In addition, he did earn a lot of money in those years, and this time he really didn't want to go again, so John's decision made his heart feel relieved.

With that said, John began to enjoy his dinner.

Because old Huntelaar was not there, today's dinner was quite simple. This is not very common in the Huntelaar family. Today, Britain is at the pinnacle of Victorian glory, with influence all over the world, and although the former colony of the United States once hated the British, its adherence to that country has never changed. The elder Huntelaar was a great admirer of the British food culture. Strict dining etiquette and abundant food are things that he has always emphasized. But if it's just John for dinner, then it's a different story.

Nutritious, but very simple.

Two slices of thick bread, a lamb chop, and a hot soup can easily kill John's stomach. Desserts and the like are completely omitted. The cook and Hans saved trouble, and Johann himself would not be too troublesome.

Ten minutes later, John put down the spoon in his hand.

"Huh?"

He looked up and wanted to say something to Hans, but as soon as his eyes drifted over, John immediately noticed that something was not quite right with his housekeeper - his eyes flickered, and his expression was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something to himself, but he was a little hesitant and couldn't open his mouth.

John's brow furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Elber, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

"Huh?"

Hans was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, sir, there is something I am going to tell you...... It's about the guy you asked me about the other day. ”

"Miss Philip? Did you find her? ”

John's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly asked.

Seeing John's concern, Hans sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head with a heavy face, and said, "Sorry sir, I didn't find Miss Philip herself, but I strongly advise you not to try to find her anymore, and I think she probably didn't want to see you and left New York!" ”

"What?"

Hearing Hans's words, John stood up at once.

Miss Philip was reluctant to see her, as John had known for a long time. But a few days ago, a little boy just sent him a sum of money, why did he suddenly leave New York?

After taking a deep breath, Hans patiently explained: "These days I have spent money to find some people who are familiar with Miss Philippe, and have learned something about Miss Philippe from them...... It is a pity that in order to raise money for the treatment of her children in recent years, Miss Philip seems to have chosen a very despicable career. ”

At this point, Hans stopped.

"A disgraceful profession?"

John's heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Elber, you mean ......?"

"I'm afraid so, sir."

Sighing again, Hans nodded slightly.

When he first heard this answer, Hans couldn't accept this fact as much as John at this time, after all, Miss Philip was so elegant and intellectual, and there was even a faint noble aura on her body, who would have thought that such a lady would be engaged in such a lowly profession at that time?

Staring at a pair of eyes, John suddenly fell silent.

A few years ago, although they only got along for a short time, they had a very good impression of Miss Philip, the governess John, otherwise they would not have come up with a few hundred dollars to support each other. But in the end, the other party was just his tutor after all, so after leaving New York for Europe, John slowly faded into oblivion, and it wasn't until he received the envelope a few days ago that he picked up the memory of a few years ago.

But John really didn't expect that it would be this result!

But that would explain why Miss Philip was so careful and reluctant to let John find herself. After all, with her profession, I'm afraid it's really difficult to face her former students.

"Serena."

Softly pronouncing a name, John's expression darkened.

No matter how proud Miss Philip may be, for the sake of her daughter, I am afraid that any mother will do what she is not willing to do! Miss Philip may have been exhausted by the pain and torment for a long time, but surely the strong woman would not give up on Serena!

"Mr. Elber, that kid...... What do you think? ”

After a long silence, John asked in a low voice.

"This ......"

After a moment of hesitation, Hans finally replied in a low voice: "Unfortunately, sir, I heard that the girl left ...... half a year ago" (to be continued). )
