The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1186

General Darwin needed to be transferred to the ICU, and the medical team strictly barred any visitors. A single provocation could send the frail man right back to death's door.

Once the transfer was complete, the doctors retreated to the lounge for a debriefing.

Dr. Quentin Quincy singled Claire out for exceptional praise, openly offering her a future internship at their prestigious center.

"I'm only a freshman," Claire replied with a polite smile. "An internship is still a long way off for me."

While she would jump at the chance to work at the renowned hospital, she was far from graduation.

But right now, graduation was years away.

An internship could theoretically start in her sophomore year, but even that felt too soon.

It suddenly hit the room that this brilliant girl was merely in her first year.

Dr. Quincy shook his head in awe, marveling at how the new generation was outshining the old.

"You have impeccable skills, Claire," he praised. "You'd shine anywhere you went."

"I didn't fully grasp why Dr. Solomon Sterling recommended you so highly before."

"But it's obvious now. You're practically his protégé."

Dr. Quincy clearly held her in the highest regard.

Claire quickly waved off the compliment. "That's impossible."

"I could never take Dr. Sterling's place."

The Sterling family had their own brilliant heirs, after all.

If such wild claims reached the ears of Dr. Sterling's actual students, they would definitely take issue with her.

It would paint her as an arrogant upstart!

Dr. Sterling's legacy was certainly not for an outsider to inherit.

And Claire had absolutely no intention of riding on the legendary doctor's coattails.

Staying entirely under the radar was her preferred strategy.

Dr. Quincy belatedly realized his words could easily be misconstrued.

"Right, right, Dr. Sterling has plenty of successors," he chuckled. "But since you're studying Western clinical medicine now, how about working under me?"

This wasn't idle politeness; he genuinely saw her immense potential.

She was young and highly malleable.

"Surely you're not lacking in brilliant students, Dr. Quincy?" Claire teased.
