After a few interviews, one interviewer called Aiden back and congratulated him for landing the part-time job as a laboratory assistant to a biomolecular Ph.D. student, Rosaliá Pérez.
She was a good-looking woman with a curvy figure who insisted that Aiden call her "Rosa".
The job was in line with his major, and the pay was decent for a part-time job, but it was not enough to cover the sum of money that he had paid to the hospital so far.
On Fridays for the semester, Aiden had class until 10 AM, and then he was free for the day. On the way home, he passed by a grocery shop and saw his grandmother's favorite tangerines on display outside. Aiden's grandmother was released from the hospital after the biopsy. The elder woman was so happy to finally be able to go back home. She repeatedly ensured her grandson that she was doing much better and that the biopsy was only a waste of money.
Aiden hoped that she was right.
