The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1440

"Why are you looking for her?"

Sloane frowned slightly. "It's nothing serious. A friend of mine hasn't been showing up for classes this semester."

"Claire knows her, so I wanted to see if she had heard anything."

Sloane hadn't been able to reach Meiko Fujii. Remembering that Claire and Meiko had crossed paths, she figured Claire might have some intel.

Sloane wasn't harboring any malicious intent; she was just frustratingly naive when it came to judging character.

At that exact moment, Claire was following Caleb into the Lewis residence.

Caleb's mother was an incredibly elegant, gentle woman. She greeted Claire with a warm smile, fussing over her comfort like a favorite neighbor.

People like her made it effortless to let one's guard down.

Claire had heard that Professor Lewis taught at the University of Foreign Languages. Spending so much time around students gave her a refined, approachable aura that made her incredibly popular.

"You can just call me Professor Lewis." She was genuinely warm, constantly offering Claire different snacks.

Chatting with her felt remarkably relaxing.

Claire naturally leaned into the comfortable dynamic, addressing her respectfully.

"Caleb mentioned your medical skills are phenomenal. My husband is impossibly stubborn."

"We've begged him to see a proper doctor, but he refuses. He throws his entire existence into his work."

"This has been going on for a long time. We've had doctors come to the house, but the medicine only works while he's taking it. The second he stops, he's back to square one."

"He just won't listen to reason. It's heartbreaking to watch his health deteriorate and his hair go white day by day."

"He ignores medical advice, and I've asked so many people for help..."

"When Caleb brought back your prescription, I immediately had the herbs brewed for him."

Honestly, Professor Lewis hadn't expected much.

But to her shock, Claire's remedy had actually worked.
