The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1509

"Claire."

Claire had never met Elias before. She hadn't realized the Sterling family had someone with such a graceful, gentlemanly demeanor.

He carried himself like a true scholar.

"Claire, my grandfather talks about you all the time. He says if he could just take you as his student, you'd undoubtedly elevate Sterling's Thirteen Needles to new heights."

Elias wasn't exaggerating in the slightest.

After meeting Claire, his grandfather had lamented that there was no true successor for their family's legendary technique.

Elias was considered passably adequate, but compared to his old friend's student, he felt he fell embarrassingly short.

"Dr. Sterling is far too kind."

"My skills are decent, but they don't hold a candle to your family's centuries of medical heritage."

Whether her skills were actually inferior was debatable.

But it was the polite thing to say.

Elias chuckled. "You don't need to be modest. Never mind my grandfather; even Sloane has talked about you."

"She's an incredibly proud person, but she respects you immensely."

Claire's mouth twitched. Respect? Or was she just beaten into submission?

Seeing that Claire had no intention of elaborating, Elias realized her relationship with his cousin probably wasn't great.

Although Sloane was only his cousin, he knew her well.

She was excessively arrogant and couldn't always tolerate people who outshone her.

So, if there was bad blood between them, Elias completely understood.

From the looks of it, however, his cousin's 'truce' was entirely one-sided.

Claire clearly wasn't buying it.

"You look tired. Why don't you get some sleep, and when we land, I'll catch you up on the details."

"Or, if you prefer, you can check on the four patients first. They're in terrible shape, and I've only managed to stabilize them temporarily."
