Chapter 62
Felicity, who spoke without a filter, taunted condescendingly, “Ms. McMillan, everyone says that you have the heart of a saint, but you won’t help even when you won’t be required to perform the surgery yourself!! say you’ve got a heart of stone!* This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The two other young ladies looked Sierra up and down questioningly.
Everyone claimed that Sierra was a medical genius and that she was very successful. But judging based on their reactions earlier on, Sierra had been shocked silly and was nowhere near as calm and collected as Gisele, who was a nobody.
“Perhaps she’s not actually that close with Professor Silas?” another one of the women quipped.
That seemed like a moment of revelation for most of them. Felicity chimed in, “Oh, so that’s what this is all about. No wonder she won’t help even when Aunt Sandra begged her to help. It turns out it was all a lie!
“Felicity,” Dorian said in a warning tone.
Felicity wasn’t about to back down and wanted to carry on, but Sandra tugged at her arm lightly. They were here to seek help, not to make enemies.
Silence fell in the living room, and Zayla looked displeased as she reached for Sierra’s hand. “Sierra, why won’t you agree to it? Are you worried that it’d be embarrassing to ask Silas for help?”
They could not understand why Sierra was reluctant to help. To them, it was something to take pride in to be able to speak to Silas, even more so for someone like Sierra, who was somewhat a medical celebrity whom everyone held in high regards.
“No, it’s just that I’m afraid he might be very busy… It’s the time of the year that he’s recruiting students. I’m afraid that he won’t be free.
“If you don’t mind, I can give it a try,” Sierra said before biting her lower l*p, appearing pitiful and afflicted.
Silas‘ autumn recruitment was as different as it could get from usual school’s admission. He required a written examination before interviewing those who passed. Then, marks from both sessions would be added up, and the top three candidates with the highest marks would be recruited as his apprentice.
Usually, those who were accepted were really talented people who were not only smart and adaptable, but also extremely coordinated and in good physical shape.
Deborah looked pale as she rested. Seeing her in this state, Sandra couldn’t refrain herself from asking.” Celeste, I only brought Deborah here because I trusted you. And now, you’re going to let her be carried out like this?
“Are you sure this wouldn’t be an embarrassment to both the Jefferson family and the Witham family? Also, will the contract we signed be nullified?”
“Sandra, you’re asking too much!” Celeste glared at her angrily.
what
Then, she shouted at Sandra, “Yes, i armati was bragging a litte, but we about you? Who were op despicable to get me to sign a contract, and you hit the front of Stratos conditism from an ow dare you question me now?
“I hid the truth? Why didn’t you read the contract? Sandra never expectart Celente to store here a
hysterical shrew
For a moment, a huge ruckus broke out. Declan got a splitting headache from seeing then squable the that, so he got up and walked over to Gisele Gisele, this doesn’t concen you Hene, come with me to the
study”
“Sure,” she said before shooting Deborah a worried gaze
“Enough!” Dorian shouted in the noisy living room.
Instantly, everyone fell silent and looked over at him with anticipation in their eyes
Dorian’s deep gaze fell on Gisele, and he said, “The contract still stands Gisele will be lent to you so that she can treat Deborah. She’s gifted in using traditional means of healing if anything happens in this period of time, she will be held liable.
Everyone turned to look at Gisele, who stood on the stairs. Her slender frame acceaned fal, and there was a helpless smile on her exquisite face. In the end, she was the one who was sacrificed
The truth was, she already had a premonition that this would happen once things started getting messy
Sandra frowned and retorted in a disgruntled manner, “Mr. Dorian, are you trying to brush us off? No
matter what, this is life on the line!”
“You wouldn’t dare to have the surgery done if you’re unable to get Professor Lyons to do it, would you?”
Dorian retaliated.
At that, Sandra fell silent.
Sierra was inwardly elated. She knew that Dorian would take her side unconditionally
