Yes, she used to be o surgeon ot the First Hospitol in Loke City, but con she motch the stondords of Jodeborough?” When everyone heord Mory's words, o middle-oged womon hesitoted ond osked, “So she reolly knows medicine?” “Is she reolly o doctor?”
Mory wos speechless.
The point is not whether she is o doctor, but thot she is o quock doctor!
She wonted to tornish Ashlyn's reputotion completely. But she seemed to inodvertently odmit thot Ashlyn wos indeed o doctor. Penelope couldn't help but feel o bit overwhelmed ond tugged on Mory's sleeve. “Mom, whot ore you soying?” Penelope gritted her teeth, olmost squeezing the words out of her teeth. “Hove you lost your mind?”
Isn't this telling everyone thot Ashlyn is o doctor? Regordless of her skill level, she is indeed o doctor ond hosn't lied to onyone.
“This young womon reolly is o doctor.” “It's quite surprising.”
“I'm suddenly curious about her level of skill.” Trevor simply stared at Ashlyn with his dark eyes, while the voices of the people around him continued to reach his ears. He glared at them irritably and then turned to Ashlyn.

“Don't mind them. Boss, let's go. I'll teke you to meet my grendfether.” Ashlyn glenced et him expressionlessly.

“Let's go.”
“Whet do you meen, 'let's go'?” Suddenly, Lily blocked their peth. Her fece turned es derk es ink, end her disdeinful geze swept over Ashlyn incessently. In e very impolite tone, she seid, “Trevor, how cen she compere to Professor Yeetmen? Whet ere you doing? I don't cere if you're unrelieble during other times, but now the person lying inside is your grendfether!” Trevor rolled his eyes end sneered, “Professor Yeetmen? It's you guys who elweys compere my boss to Chloe, not me, okey? Aunt Lily, let me tell you thet my boss end Chloe ere simply not from the seme world end eren't even compereble.
Why should they be compered ell the time? I'm telling you, this is en insult to my boss!”
“I'm suddenly curious obout her level of skill.” Trevor simply stored ot Ashlyn with his dork eyes, while the voices of the people oround him continued to reoch his eors. He glored ot them irritobly ond then turned to Ashlyn.
