Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 347

Heidi was utterly stunned, her gaze frantically jumping between Ashton and Nadine. She felt her head spinning as she still couldn’t process the revelation. “How could his medical mastery exceed yours when he’s so young? Is it possible that he’s some kind of swindler, Nadine?”

“I’ve witnessed Master Gray’s skill firsthand. I will never, in my lifetime, be able to reach his level, Heidi! If you dare show disrespect to Master Gray again, you will be expelled from Whispering Emerald Manor immediately!” Nadine reprimanded sharply.

Heidi pouted slightly, not daring to offer another word of protest. She lowered her gaze, remaining deeply skeptical. Still, she gave a barely audible, reluctant reply. “Got it, Nadine.”

She knew that being a mentee to Nadine and studying medicine under her tutelage was an opportunity of immense importance. She definitely couldn’t afford to provoke Nadine at this juncture.

She, however, was resolved to secretly observe Ashton to uncover his fraudulent scheme. She simply couldn’t tolerate her beloved Nadine humbling herself by addressing a man as “Master Gray“. She felt like the entire situation was a brutal assault on everything she believed.

“Let’s head in,” Ashton simply stated.

Nadine said gently, “As you wish, Master Gray.”

She naturally felt a degree of humiliation in waiting upon Ashton and addressing him as “Master Gray“. Yet, the moment she reminded herself that this was for the pursuit of medical knowledge–to unlock an unparalleled, brilliant future in the medical world–the shame vanished entirely.

In the realm of medicine, having the right mentor mattered immensely.

If knowledge of the Ninefold Arcane Technique ever became known, countless individuals in the medical community would pledge themselves to Ashton for life, offering eternal servitude just for the opportunity to glean the slightest bit of his technique.

Nadine never perceived Ashton’s actions as a deliberate attempt to humiliate her. She viewed it as a trial to prove her unwavering commitment and spiritual focus in the pursuit of medical knowledge. She understood that the harsh reality of the medical world was that superiority earned seniority.

Having walked into Whispering Emerald Manor, Ashton went straight for the rocking chair and settled in. “Get me a fresh pot of coffee, and then come massage my shoulders and back to help me unwind.”

“Got it, Master Gray!” Nadine replied.

She quickly brewed a pot of coffee and respectfully presented a fresh cup to Ashton. She then kneeled before him and began to give him a full massage with her delicate hands.

Nadine’s massaging technique was extremely extraordinary, her pressure perfectly controlled, and with a face that held not a single flaw, the pleasure felt almost unreal–like something out of paradise.

Heidi snorted derisively after seeing her admired mentor waiting on Ashton like a servant. The sight deeply rankled her. She was determined to see what kind of commanding medical skill Ashton could possibly possess.

She thought that Nadine was simply too naive and kind, which meant she had absolutely been taken advantage

1. of. She would expose his deception immediately if Ashton dared to make any improper advances toward Nadine.

Ashton gradually closed his eyes, completely giving himself over to the pleasure of Nadine’s personal massage.

He finally opened his eyes an hour later, noticing that Nadine was still dutifully massaging him. He smiled faintly and said, “That’s enough now. Have you prepared the herbs I asked for?”

He knew that it was time to focus on business now that the time for rest was over.

He was well aware that the path of cultivation required substantial investments in wealth, techniques, associates, and territory. He was no longer financially lacking, but he was still considered insignificant compared with the established magnates.

He absolutely required his own enterprise, and refining the Complexion Elixir was the forthcoming plan. He knew that the beauty industry was notoriously lucrative, after all, promising massive profits from minimal investment.

“I’ve already prepared everything, Master Gray,” Nadine replied, her gaze gleaming with anticipation.

She was curious to see how Ashton fared in the art of concoction, beyond the Ninefold Arcane Technique. She still felt that her talent in the art of concoction could rival his, even if her medical technique was inferior to Ashton’s.

Ashton gave brief grunt of acknowledgement, casting an eye over the prepared herbs. He swiftly recalled the relevant passages recorded in the Book of Arcane Medicine bequeathed by his mentor, and a complete strategy took shape in his mind.

He then noticed the Energy Condensation Pill Nadine was concocting–the very same vitality–restoring medicine Kenneth had been given at the Beldon residence.

He simply offered a terse evaluation, saying, “Is this the Energy Condensation Pill you’re working on? Its quality is fairly decent, I suppose.”

Heidi demanded in disbelief, “How could you say it’s merely fairly decent? Do you have any idea what you’re looking at? Nadine’s Energy Condensation Pill is the finest in Casoria! Her version is better than anything produced by even the most senior medical practitioners! How dare you dismiss it as just fairly decent?”
