Chapter 420 What’s With Your Attitude?
“But…” Aurelia still wanted to argue, but Henry slapped her across the face.
“Go get the Ivory Reliquary. If Ms. Rickard blames anyone for this later, I’ll take full responsibility!” commanded Henry.
Aurelia had no choice but to bring out the Ivory Reliquary from its layers of protection and hand it to Raven.
Raven held Benedict in one arm and took the box with the other.
After confirming it wasn’t a fake, she immediately stored it in the Ring of Life.
“Can you save Ms. Rickard now?” Aurelia asked.
Her face was still burning from the slap. She looked at Raven with deep resentment in her eyes.
Not only had Raven acted all high and mighty, but she’d also made Aurelia get slapped in public.
If Ravan couldn’t heal Helena, Aurelia swore she would make sure Raven paid the price.
“I said it before. If you want me to treat Ms. Rickard, it wouldn’t be as simple as just handing over the Ivory Reliquary.” Raven glanced at Aurelia and added slowly, “What’s with your attitude? Is this how Lunshire begs me for help?”
The moment she finished speaking, everyone went dead silent.
The surrounding doctors looked at Raven like she was insane.
They couldn’t believe a woman without even a A–Level invitation would demand Lunshire to hand over something as priceless as the Ivory Reliquary. And she even wanted them to lower themselves and beg her. That was simply outrageous!
Aurelia’s face fell when she heard Raven’s words.“Beg you? Who do you think you-”
Before she could finish, another crisp slap rang out across her face.
Now, there were matching and perfectly symmetrical red marks on her cheeks.
Stunned, she turned her head and met Henry’s icy gaze.
“Apologize,” Henry commanded, his tone cold and absolute.
Aurelia clenched her jaw in anger. But thinking of Henry’s status in Lunshire, she swallowed her indignation.
Then she slowly tightened her fist, turned to Raven, and bowed deeply.
“I’m sorry. I failed to keep her in check, and she offended you. She’s now truly remorseful. I hope you can be gracious and save Ms. Rickard,” Henry said sincerely.
Raven glanced at Henry and gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
She turned her gaze to the little boy in her arms and asked softly, “Benedict, I need to go treat a lady now. Will you come with me?”
“Okay.“Benedict hugged her neck tightly, as if afraid she would leave him behind.
Seeing how insecure he was, Raven’s heart ached. She silently cursed his useless parents once more.
“Please follow me.”Henry quickly made a respectful gesture toward Raven.
Raven nodded slightly, then walked back into the villa under the watchful gaze of all the doctors.
Once upstairs in Helena’s room, Raven saw that her meridians were blocked and her face was already turning dark purple. Any further delay, and she’d be dead for sure.
Raven quickly set Benedict down on the couch at the door, then rushed to the bed and began inserting needles into several key pressure points on Helena’s limbs.
“Miss Valor, how is Ms. Rickard? If you need any rare herbs, just name them. No matter what it is, we’ll find it as long as it can save Ms. Rickard!” Henry said as he saw Raven putting away the last needle and tidying up her tools.
Raven replied, “There’s no need. Treatment is done.”
“What?” Henry stared at her in disbelief, like he hadn’t heard her correctly.
“She’s fine now,” Raven repeated, surprisingly patient.
Aurelia was far from convinced. Her expression turned cold as she fixed her gaze on Raven and spoke sharply, “Miss Valor, we gave you the Ivory Reliquary, and I even apologized to you.
“We’ve gone to such lengths just to get you to the Successfully unlocked!ure brushing us off like this? Either you think we’re fools, or you’re looking down at Lunshire:
“So many doctors were impotent, and you claim to have cured her in less than a minute? Even the president of the World Medical Conference wouldn’t make such a claim.”
Aurelia added with a sneer, “If I believed you, I’d be the real fool.”
