Chapter 175
“Being proud because your cousin is impressive? What’s there for you to brag about?”
Flora closed the lid of the insulated food container, saying nonchalantly, “To those unaware, they’d think you’re the impressive one.”
“You!”
“Stop making a fuss. Don’t you know patients need rest?” A commanding voice rebuked, as Jules, with his sparse and disheveled gray hair, walked in.
He cast a displeased look at Yvonne. He could hear her barking like a dog from far away, utterly annoying.
“Mr. Jules.” Aisha was sipping soup from a bowl and nodded respectfully upon seeing him.
“Ah, having chicken soup? Drink more, it’s good for your health.”
Aisha was under the primary care of a physician, and Jules didn’t really need to come over, but he did, eager to see Flora.
“Mr. Jules!” Selene approached, greeting him, “Do you remember me? I’m Selene. We met at the University of Maple Grove three years ago. I was fortunate enough to observe your surgery and even asked you a few questions.”
Jules stared at her indifferently. He had no recollection of her face. However, the name Selene sounded familiar.
The Dean of the University of Maple Grove often mentioned Selene to him. In Maple Grove, Selene was known as a ‘genius physician,’ and her reputation was commendable, even among her peers. She had a gift for medicine.
He nodded, saying, “I have some recollection.”
Hearing this, Selene was delighted. “I… am also a provisional member of Club 257. In another year, my probation period will be over, and I’ll become an official member of Club 257.”
Then, she would be able to meet F.
Jules responded, “Hmm, keep up the good work.”
“Lie down. I’ll examine you.” Jules spoke to Aisha. Since he was there, he might as well give the young girl a thorough checkup.
“Flora, come help me out.” Jules spoke to Flora, his eyes almost became a slit as he smiled.
Selene had been adored and admired all her life, so she immediately noticed the stark difference in how Jules treated her compared to Flora.
“Mr. Jules, let me assist you.” Selene stepped forward, subtly positioning herself in front of Flora to block her.
“Yes, Mr. Jules, my cousin is a genius physician, so of course, she should be the one to assist you. What does Floraknow about medicine? If you let her help, she’ll only be in the way.”
While Yvonne elevated Selene, she didn’t miss an opportunity to belittle Flora.
Jules frowned, his displeasure evident. He had initially thought Selene was intelligent and modest, with great potential, but now, it seemed she was too eager to showcase herself.
Flora’s medical talent was beyond their expectations. She simply chose not to pursue it, even though he had tried to encourage her to learn, to no avail.
Although Flora lacked interest, her exceptional memory, combined with his mentorship, had made her a standout among her peers in terms of medical knowledge, even if she didn’t reach the highest levels of mastery.
