Chapter 383 Raven Worships Lola?
“Miss Valor, if you don’t mind, why not come with us to take a look at the Princess’s condition?” Johnny said cheerfully Another pair of hands could only help.”
Several of the other male doctors who had just been feeling guilty for misjudging Raven immediately chimed in, “Yes, Miss Valor, come with us!
“We only have one female doctor–Ellie. If the princess doesn’t like being examined by men, you could help Ellie out.” Ellie had initially planned to politely decline Raven’s involvement. But after hearing that last line, her thoughts shifted
She had heard that the princess had a strong aversion to being touched by men. If that were true, the task of treating her would likely fall entirely on her shoulders.
Which also meant Raven could be assigned to do the grunt work.
And that would be the perfect time to show all these shallow, swooning men just how unworthy the object of their admiration really was.
Seeing the others so quick to welcome Raven, Johnny breathed a small sigh of relief.
Then he turned back to her and asked again, this time a little more eagerly, “Miss Valor, would that be alright?”
Raven smiled lightly. “Of course.”
Honestly, life doesn’t get more convenient than this–thinking of sleep and having someone deliver the pillow!
Rupert, seeing how all the doctors were enthusiastically recommending Raven, had no objections. He offered her a kind smile. “Then thank you for your help, doctor. Everyone, please follow me.”
About half an hour later, Raven, Hiemaly, and the others arrived at the imperial palace in a royal vehicle.
The Sunset Empire’s palace wasn’t as extravagant as the Sovereign Palace in Vyrdenia, but its architecture and decorations were steeped in unique historical charm.
The palace grounds were also filled with cherry blossom trees.
It was currently peak bloom season, and the soft pink petals fluttering down from the trees painted the entire area with an ethereal beauty.
But Raven’s focus was elsewhere. Her priority was to find Lola. She only glanced at the blossoms before withdrawing her
gaze.
Soon, Rupert led them into a large, spacious building.
Inside stood a dozen or so male doctors in white coats, all with serious expressions on their faces.
Rupert nodded politely to them, then led Raven and the group into the inner room.
There, a young woman in her mid–twenties lay on a bed, her face contorted with pain.
Her features weren’t particularly striking, but her skin was pale and smooth–so fair it was nearly translucent.
Yet now, that fair face was tinged faintly with a bluish–purple hue.
Raven took one look and immediately recognized the problem.
The others, however, were clearly troubled by what they saw. Most of the doctors frowned, visibly stumped.
Raven ignored their reactions. She turned calmly to Rupert and asked,
“If I can ease her condition, will I be allowed to meet Lola?”
Rupert, a man well–versed in political storms and palace drama, was momentarily stunned.
Not only had Raven dared to call Her Highness Lola by name, but she also spoke with such certainty–as if she knew she could treat the princess.
She wasn’t the only one drawing attention now. All the doctors, including Johnny and Ellie, were now staring at her.
Johnny hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, “Miss Valor… you believe you can treat the princess?”
Now was not the time for humility. Raven gave a confident nod. “Yes.”
The surrounding doctors immediately fell into countered silence

But before any of them could speak, Ellie’s usu
nra revealing a clear trace of disapproval.
“Miss Valor,” she began in a soft but firm voice, “Meeting someone like Her Highness Lola is indeed a dream for many. “But no matter how much you admire her–or how desperately you want to meet her–you can’t gamble with the princess’s
life.”
