Chapter 388 That Was Fast
The moment Raven’s words dropped, the entire room fell into stunned silence.
All eyes turned toward the male doctor she had just exposed.
One second he was accusing her of spouting nonsense, and the next he was begging to buy a bottle of medicine from her. Could someone embarrass themselves Yaster than that?
Under the weight of everyone’s gaze, the man stood as stiff as a statue.
He could feel it–every single one of his peers was now looking at him with thinly veiled pity and disbelief
His face flushed an even deeper shade of red.
Right now, he wished he could disappear.
He didn’t need anyone to spell it out–he could already foresee how many awkward looks and whispered jokes he’d be enduring for who–knew–how–long.
But then he thought of the look on his wife’s face after each… disappointing performance. That frustrated sigh, that mix of disappointment and disdain.
He clenched his fists and, summoning the last shreds of his dignity, looked at Raven with a forced, sheepish smile. “Miss Valor, I misjudged your skills earlier. I truly see now how talented you are.
“I sincerely apologize. I really do need the medicine. Please, no matter what, I hope you’ll let me buy it.”
The moment he finished, the surrounding doctors looked at him even more strangely than before.
But he ignored it. For the sake of his future happiness–he had no choice but to endure.
Raven glanced at him, amused by his tragic–but–determined expression. “I said I was selling it, but truthfully, I’m not short on money,” she said with a smile. “Take it. Just consider it a favor you owe me.”
She casually tossed the small white bottle in his direction.
The man panicked as it flew toward him and scrambled to catch it.
Once he had it safely in hand, he opened it immediately.
Seeing that it held more than fifty pills, his face lit up with gratitude and glee.
Still, thinking he might need a refill someday, he looked at Raven with even greater reverence.
“Miss Valor, with medical skill and kindness like yours, you truly are an angel in white,” he said.
The surrounding doctors, hearing him heap such praise, now looked at Raven with something far beyond respect.
They no longer doubted her skills–at this point, they were certain she was no ordinary physician.
With talent like hers, she wasn’t just worthy of a B–level invitation–an A–level wasn’t out of the question.
And the most shocking part? She looked barely twenty.
She was simply a genius.
Just then, the man who had received the medicine, likely hoping to further win Raven’s favor, turned to the stunned Rupert. “Mr. Powell, Miss Valor was able to identify several of our health conditions with just a glance. Surely, that proves she’s
more than qualified to examine the princess?”
Rupert blinked as if waking from a trance.
“Yes–yes, of course!” he said hastily, nodding.
Then he turned to Raven, his tone both reverent and sincere. “If you can relieve Her Highness’s suffering, I will personally arrange for you to meet Princess Lola.”
Raven dipped her head slightly in acknowledgment.
Just as she took a step toward the princess’s bed, however, a voice rang out abruptly. “Wait!”
Everyone in the room turned toward the source.
