Therefore, it was truly unheard of for a medical genius like her to be someone’s apprentice?
Caleb didn’t stick around to elaborate. After all, he was very busy with the preparations for that evening’s
banquet.
“It’s settled then. To show our sincerity, you will personally pick him up tonight. Here is the address.”
“No, wait, Dad-” Artemisia was left speechless.
Alas, Caleb dropped a slip of paper and hurried away before she could finish voicing her protests. 1 Artemisia held the note, taking a long moment to process what had just happened. She, a renowned medical prodigy, had actually been made an apprentice?
How ridiculous!
She was so angry that it wasn’t even funny.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from an old classmate.
Artemisia’s mood brightened. “Roxanne! You finally remembered to call me?”
As it turned out, the two were not just your run-of-the-mill high school classmates. They were actually quite close as both families dabbled in the medical field, often meeting outside of school.
Furthermore, they had naturally become close friends due to their respective talents in the medical field. So, they stayed in touch even after Artemisia went abroad to further her studies, constantly exchanging their insights on medical theory.
“Ugh, don’t even get me started. I’ve run into a bit of trouble…” Roxanne dejectedly poured out the whole story of being misunderstood. “Artemisia, is there any way you can help me find that miracle doctor?”
“Don’t worry about it. I know almost every miracle doctor in Silverton. I’ll give them a call whenever you’re ready. You can take your time identifying which one it is.”
Since Roxanne hadn’t specifically mentioned the incident regarding Gaius’ resuscitation, Artemisia didn’t think much of this miracle doctor.
After all, she was a prodigy herself. So, she knew many so-called miracle doctors whose skills didn’t even match her own.
“Thank you so much, Artemisia! I’ll treat you to dinner some other day!” Roxanne was overjoyed to hear Artemisia agree so readily. Hazel and Anya, who had been standing next to her, also felt a weight lift from their chests.
“Why bother treating me some other time? There’s no time like the present!” Artemisia countered. “My father’s hosting a welcome banquet for me tonight. Roxanne, why don’t you and the others come along? I could use the company!”

“That would be great!” Roxanne agreed immediately. Not only had she found a way to meet the doctor, but she had also secured an invitation to a high-class social gathering. This was an unexpected bonus.
“I’ll come find you guys now! I actually have something ridiculous to tell you anyway.”
Artemisia left the medicinal gardens.
Meanwhile, Sylvie was dressed and ready to go. She looked noble and elegant in her evening gown, possessing a beauty that was hard to look away from.
“Evan, are you ready?” she called out toward the inner room, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement.
This wasn’t just her first date with Evan. No, it was more than that. It was her official debut in the Silverton elite circle as an heiress from Imperia. So, she intended to give the Silverton elite circle a little surprise.
“You go ahead first, I’m not finished here yet,” Evan’s voice drifted out. “Someone is coming to pick me
up.”
Sylvie pouted. “Alright then, I’ll be heading out.”
