Chapter 390 Over Five Guys
Raven’s voice cut through the air like a blade, calm and deliberate, “Ms. Reeves, in the past three months…. you’ve been with more than five men, haven’t you?”
Boom!
The moment the words landed, Ellie felt as though thunder had struck directly above her head. Her mind went blank, her ears ringing in disbelief
The surrounding male doctors stared at her with wide, stunned eyes.
“W What?”
“No way!”
Ellie had never been considered especially beautiful, but her figure was graceful and her temperament always soft and ladylike.
In their eyes, she had been pure.
But Raven’s words shattered that image in an instant.
“Ellie… is she telling the truth?” Johnny’s voice trembled as he looked at her, his deep blue eyes filled with a flicker of hope.
He was her boyfriend. Though he had shown some innocent admiration for Raven earlier, it had been no more than a man’s appreciation for beauty.
He had never once betrayed Ellie and had always believed that she, too, was devoted only to him.
But now… after everything Raven had accurately diagnosed before, he could no longer simply brush it off.
“She’s slandering me, Johnny! She’s lying!” Ellie’s voice cracked with desperation.
But Raven’s voice came again, as steady and clear as before. “Whether it’s true or not, take your girlfriend to the hospital and find out.
“She’s infected with syphilis. It’s mutating, which makes treatment harder–but detecting it isn’t a problem.”
Johnny’s face changed instantly. His breath caught. He instinctively took two steps back, increasing the distance between himself and Ellie.
And he wasn’t the only one. Several doctors who had been standing close to Ellie quietly shuffled away as well, their expressions wary.
Ellie looked around–one by one, colleagues and acquaintances were pulling back, casting doubtful, even repulsed glances in her direction. The way she looked at Raven now could’ve melted steel.
But that last shred of reason in her mind screamed. ‘If you lash out now, you’ll only prove her right.‘
She took a trembling breath and forced her voice to calm, eyes misty with grievance.
“I swear, I’ve never done anything to betray Johnny.
“Do you even realize what your careless accusation could do to a woman’s reputation?”
Johnny hesitated.
Ellie seemed like someone who’d been wronged, her eyes red, her tone pleading. It was hard to believe she was lying.
But before he could gather his thoughts, Ellie’s voice rang out again, full of righteous indignation.
“Miss Valor, I’ve never been with any man other than Johnny. But even if I had–how could you possibly know that? How would you diagnose it just by looking? Isn’t that utterly ridiculous?”
The surrounding doctors faltered, glancing at each other with confusion.
Indeed–illness could show on the body. But a person’s romantic history? How could someone see that at a glance? “You’re right. Medical instruments won’t tell you who you’ve slept with. But if you had lived cleanly, you wouldn’t have this disease to begin with.
“If you still doubt me, go get tested. I have nothing more to say about your condition.”
She paused, her tone sharp as a blade. “Now stay out of my way. I’m here to treat the princess.”
Ellie opened her mouth to argue–but the invis catch.
Successfully unlocked! ven’s presence suddenly made her breath
She could feel it. Even if she spoke now, no one would take her side. The suspicious glances, the quiet murmurs–they wouldn’t stop.
She clenched her fists, swallowed her pride, and stepped back.

“Fine she thought battery “Let her try if she succeeds in treating the princess, then so be it. But if she fails…
