Tension hung thick in the air.
Someone broke the silence, their voice dripping with skepticism. “Don’t tell me you’re actually claiming to have a medical license from Erenoland, hoht
Cyril frowned deeply, his voice sharp with impatience and reproach. “A foreign traditional medicine license can’t be used here. Don’t you even know such a simple fact?”
Vincent interjected, “Ms. Gibson said you’d been working at Cole Group this whole time. How could you possibly have had time to get licensed?”
Aria shot him a disdainful look. “So you’ll believe anything Hannah says? If she claimed I was your mother, would you swallow that too?”
Vincent’s face darkened, then paled. Remembering who she
was,
he bit back his words.
Culver’s face darkened, his eyes flashing with cold fury as he rebuked sharply, “A medical license isn’t hard to obtain. Every practitioner has one. So why is all this arrogance about? What kind of teacher could have produced a student like you?”
Aria said with a dismissive tone, “With one foot in the grave, maybe you should worry about yourself.”
Furious once more, Culver pointed at her, left utterly speechless for a long moment.
The onlookers were so stunned that no one dared utter a word.
Even daring to confront someone as high–status as Culver–that was Aria.
Aria couldn’t be bothered with them any longer. Turning to Giana, her tone softened noticeably. “Get some rest and take your medicine on time. I’ll be back tomorrow.”
Giana nodded firmly. “I won’t take their medication. You’re the only one I trust.”
“Okay.” Aria turned to leave when Culver’s displeased voice snapped from behind her.
“Ramon, if you still trust Aria and insist on keeping your daughter’s pregnancy, don’t come crying to me when disaster strikes. I won’t be responsible!
“I don’t have time for these trivial matters. I’m here to push for the integration of traditional and modern medicine so we can overcome this epidemic.”
“My other main goal,” Culver continued, “is to find my master’s three medical manuscripts, obtain the National Doctor’s Seal, and inherit his mantle.”
At those words, Aria paused for just an instant, but she quickly regained her composure and walked out the door as if nothing had happened.
Aria sent Owen a quick text and, after about ten seconds, saw him walking over from down the corridor.
The moment Culver set foot in the hospital, news of his arrival spread like wildfire through the staff.
Owen had obviously caught wind of the rumors too. With a hint of concern in his eyes, he asked, “I heard Ramon had invited Culver to treat his daughter, right?”
Aria gave a gentle nod. “Yeah, he said Giana would miscarry.”
Noticing Aria was distracted, Owen didn’t press further.
‘Something must have happened just now,‘ Owen thought.
Aria took out her phone and searched for the president of Provincial Traditional Medicine Association, quickly pulling up Culver’s credentials.
It was impressive indeed.

‘Impressive credentials, but as a person? Not so much,‘ Aria thought with a hint of disdain.
Aria’s fingers moved swiftly, scrolling down the screen as she searched intently.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, locked on a particular line of text.
[Dr. Tristan Todd’s health has been deteriorating, and he has now been admitted to a sanatorium. The Todd School is highly likely to be passed to his student, Dr. Culver Webster.]
The Todd family, a renowned lineage in traditional medicine, had preserved its acupuncture techniques for generations. Yet many core techniques had been lost to time, leaving most of its disciples with only a superficial grasp of the art.
It wasn’t until Tristan’s generation that Todd School’s acupuncture techniques were revitalized. He even pioneered his own innovative needling therapy, earning him the title of “Father of Modern Acupuncture Research in Huthailia.”
