Chapter 403 Her Highness Lola Arrives
In that moment, every pair of eyes in the room had changed.
Almost every doctor had come to the same shocking realization that Raven’s medical skills… might truly surpass Dr. Kidman’s.
Rupert, struck by that realization, nearly fell to his knees as he scrambled to Raven’s side, desperation pouring from him, “Dr. Valor! Please–save the princess! I’m begging you!”
Raven looked down at him with a calm, unreadable expression. “You chose him over me,” she said flatly. “Now you want me to clean up his mess?”
Rupert froze.
Then, almost impossibly, his eyes lit up with sudden joy.
He reached out to grab her sleeve, but Raven casually stepped aside.
Still, he didn’t give up. “Miss Valor, you can save her, right? You haven’t said you can’t.”
With all his years of experience reading people, Rupert was certain–if Raven had truly been powerless, she would have said so directly.
“Instead, she had only said she wouldn’t fix John’s mistake.
That meant… there was still hope.
But under Rupert’s hopeful gaze, Raven gave the princess on the bed a passing glance and said coolly, “To this point. I can’t help anymore.
“I already saved her once. I warned her. She didn’t listen.”
Though she could still save the girl, Raven had no intention of doing so. The princess had made her choice–she could suffer the consequences.
Rupert’s body stiffened at her words.
He stared at Raven, doubt creeping into his eye. “You… really have no way to help?”
Raven didn’t answer directly. She only said, “Start preparing her funeral.”
Boom!
The words hit Rupert like thunder.
Prepare her funeral?‘
“No!” he shook his head violently. “No, no!”
If the princess died, he was done for.
He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Raven, his tone turning forceful, “Saving lives is a doctor’s duty. Whether you can save her or not–you have to at least try!”
Raven narrowed her eyes, her voice turning cold, “Did you not hear me? I said–I can’t help her.”
Rupert’s face darkened further.
He glanced at Hiemaly beside Raven, then took a deep breath to suppress the anger boiling inside him.
Then he sighed and said, “Princess’s condition was already bad. But after your treatment, she coughed blood, forcing Dr. Kidman to proceed without full certainty.
“In the end, it was your actions that led to this situation. You must take responsibility.”
Raven nearly laughed from how absurd that was.
“I told you–it was internal blood stagnation. With rest, she would have recovered.
h
“By your logic, I really can’t treat her now. If I try and she still dies, you’ll pin her death on me too.”
The doctors around them exchanged conflicted glances.
Honestly… if they were Raven, they wouldn’t dare intervene either.
But Rupert wasn’t done. His tone grew more pressing You’re the only one who can save her. There’s still hope if you try.”
Successfully unlocked!
”
“If you refuse, then I’ll report everything to the Lameror the fact that the princess coughed blood under your care, and that you refused to treat her in a critical moment.
“If His Majesty is enraged… can you bear the consequences?”
The moment those words fell, both Raven and Hiemaly’s faces turned cold.

But before either of them could speak, footsteps echoed through the corridor.
A sharp, commanding voice rang out.
“Her Highness Lola has arrived!”
