The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1436

"I was told that coupling the medicine with acupuncture would yield even better results. My father happens to be home tonight, and I was wondering if I could trouble you to come over and check his pulse."

"The man works himself to the bone. My mother and I have tried everything, but he just won't listen to us."

"Since you're a doctor, and a young woman at that, he might be a little less stubborn with you."

"I can give it a try," Claire agreed without a second thought.

Caleb hadn't expected her to accept so readily. He had done extensive background research on Claire over the past few days, and the girl was genuinely extraordinary.

She had been recommended by Dr. Sterling Senior to perform acupuncture on General Darwin, had alleviated Lucius Lowell's chronic back pain, and was even recruited by the Harding family to treat Ewan's legs.

Rumor had it she had also cured Baldrick's severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Currently, she was also treating the patriarch of the Cole family.

Based on what he had uncovered, her medical prowess was indisputable.

Her political standing was perfectly clean, too.

Furthermore, Caleb had discovered that Claire had nearly been kidnapped and smuggled into Sundara.

Her biological parents seemed to be wrapped in layers of mystery.

If she ever wanted to track them down, he was in a position to help.

Yet, this girl showed no frantic desperation to find them. After acting as bait to draw her enemies out, she had simply returned to her quiet life.

She was remarkably composed.

"How about I take you both out to dinner right now?"

"I can pick you up again after your afternoon classes."

Claire agreed. She considered Caleb a reliable partner and trusted he wouldn't pull anything shady.

She turned to Priscilla. "Priscilla, why don't you join us for dinner?"

Caleb had specifically addressed them both, clearly open to having an extra guest.

Priscilla hesitated. "I think I'll pass. You two go ahead."
