The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1188

Despite Walden's fiercely intimidating exterior, the man was an unrepentant foodie.

Back in his active service days, he was notorious for hoarding extra rations whenever he could.

And now, he had resorted to sneaking forbidden snacks!

"I'll have to stop by his room and check on him later."

The conversation soon shifted back to dense medical jargon, leaving Dane completely out of the loop.

Claire chimed in occasionally to add a point or two.

But as the youngest person at the table, she respectfully chose to listen to the seasoned experts.

The surgical team, led by Dr. Quincy, was thoroughly impressed by her demeanor.

This girl could handle intense pressure, and when things went wrong, she fearlessly stepped up to the plate!

She embodied the true spirit of youth, driven by passion and unyielding courage.

Though young, her medical prowess was undeniably extraordinary.

When Dr. Sterling first recommended her, there had been plenty of skeptics.

But Claire's flawless performance today was enough to silence every critic and win their total respect.

Dr. Quincy eagerly extending an olive branch was the absolute best proof of her competence.

After lunch, as Claire left the cafeteria with Dane, the doctors lingered to discuss her.

"That girl has an incredibly bright future. Tandy, how long have you known her?"

Dr. Quincy still had no idea that Claire had been instrumental in Van's previous emergency rescue.

"I've definitely known her a lot longer than you."

"But don't get any ideas about making her your final apprentice. Her doors have long been closed to outside mentors."

Tandy admitted he had once entertained the fantasy of poaching Claire himself.

But after uncovering the sheer weight of her background, he had swiftly chosen to give up.

She had studied medicine since childhood, meaning her skills were carefully honed by a master. Neither the late Hale nor the legendary Mary would ever allow someone else to steal the glory of their prized student.

As envious as they were, they needed to have some self-awareness.
