Rejected Heiress, Reigning Queen novel Chapter 220

News of Emma's miraculous surgery quickly spread.

Douglas was the first to act, immediately summoning her back to the Harrington estate.

"Emma, I had no idea your orthopedic skills were so elite. If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could take a look at Raymond's legs?"

Pamela lit up at the suggestion.

"You mentioned before that you knew some top-tier specialists, but we had no idea you were a master yourself! It would be an absolute miracle if you could heal Raymond."

While Pamela looked thrilled, Raymond's face was a mask of cold fury.

"No."

He rejected the idea instantly. "I know exactly what condition my legs are in."

He had seen countless doctors over the years. If there was even a shred of hope, he would have taken it.

The thought of being treated like a slab of meat, poked and proded by another doctor, infuriated him.

"Emma is brilliant, Raymond. Just let her take a look," Pamela coaxed.

Raymond's tone remained icy. "I said no."

"Emma, don't mind your uncle. He's just stubborn," Pamela said, flashing Emma an apologetic smile.

Emma shook her head, though her mind was racing.

Normally, a paralyzed patient would grasp at any sliver of hope. Why was Raymond rejecting her so aggressively?

She studied him closely. Just then, Pamela gestured for her to step away.

"Emma, could I have a private word?"

Emma nodded and followed her down the hall.

"I heard about the stunt Gillian pulled today. I am so incredibly sorry."

Pamela looked genuinely remorseful.
