Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 624

Julius didn't actually hold it against him. Instead, he warned, "Keep your mouth shut about this. My wife likes to keep a low profile. She doesn't want people knowing about her medical expertise."

He didn't bother denying that the masked woman was Stella. Since Sean had already figured it out, lying would be pointless. He just needed to ensure Sean didn't go gossiping.

"Understood, my lips are sealed. Boss, did you already know she was this good at medicine?"

"To tell you the truth, Sean, she's the one who cured my legs. Without her, I'd probably be dead."

Sean was his most trusted confidant; there was no harm in letting him know.

Back then, Julius couldn't accept the reality of a high-level amputation. But if he hadn't agreed to the amputation, his only other option was death.

Sean was profoundly shocked. Having worked by Julius's side since graduation, he knew exactly how much agony his boss had endured after losing his mobility, and the sheer willpower it took to survive those dark days.

He knew Julius had refused the amputation, and he knew Julius eventually found an incredible doctor to cure him. But never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that doctor was Stella Hawthorne.

She wasn't just a pretty face; she was just unbelievably low-key.

In fact, she was entirely *too* low-key. Countless so-called experts and renowned specialists had declared Julius's legs completely incurable. They said that even with an amputation, he only had a fifty percent chance of survival. Without it, he wouldn't live past three months.

Yet the boss's wife had miraculously cured him. Didn't that mean her skills far surpassed all those "top experts" in the world?

It was unimaginable!

A sudden thought struck him. "Boss, do you think the boss's wife could be... Aeslyn? The legendary doctor we spent all that time looking for?"

Julius shook his head slowly. "I don't know. I never connected her with Aeslyn. We always assumed Aeslyn was foreign, which is why we focused all our search efforts overseas. I never actually asked her if she was."

But could she really be Aeslyn?

"Boss, I think it's highly probable. We spent an insane amount of money and manpower trying to find Aeslyn and came up empty. It's very likely we were just looking in completely the wrong direction."

If she really was Aeslyn, that would be earth-shattering.

The hangover pills she casually handed out worked better than the most expensive ones on the market.

She had cured his legs when every other doctor said it was impossible.

She had pulled his grandfather back from death's door.

He had secretly investigated the health supplements she gave his grandparents—they were completely unavailable on the market, and yet the elders had visibly grown much healthier since taking them.

And for this competition in Cloudcroft City, her entry ticket had been the Aeterna Pill.

An Aeterna Pill had been auctioned off two years ago for an astronomical price to an anonymous buyer, whose identity remained a mystery to this day.

Adding all these pieces together, it was highly likely that Stella Hawthorne was indeed the legendary Aeslyn.

His wife had hidden her brilliance perfectly!
