"Mr. Pasteur, I am truly very sorry!"
Jerome Bonaparte felt apologetic for "ignoring" Louis Pasteur just now.
"Please don't say that! Receiving your invitation is already an honor for me. I am just an ordinary researcher, really..."
Jerome Bonaparte's apology made Louis Pasteur feel as if he were on the spot. At this moment, he was a researcher as ordinary as any other, and the University of Strasbourg where he was based didn't enjoy the widespread fame that the Ecole Normale Supérieure did across Europe. Excessive praise only made him feel anxious and uncomfortable.
However, Louis Pasteur did not know that in the mind of Jerome Bonaparte, his value in biology, chemistry, and even medicine far surpassed that of most scientists in the world.
