The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1649

"I volunteer!"

Cooper raised his hand high, his face burning crimson.

He mustered the courage, partly out of sheer embarrassment over how he had treated her that morning.

But primarily, it was a desperate attempt to get close to her.

Maybe this was his chance to establish a connection?

Wait, no. That was a terrible idea.

There was an insurmountable wall between a professor and a student.

Even though Claire had explicitly stated she was a freshman at Cabinda Medical School, in this room, she was undeniably the master.

While Cooper's mind was a whirlwind of anxiety, Claire didn't think twice about it.

"The student in the back row wearing the plaid shirt. Come on down."

Cooper practically leaped out of his seat, catching his foot on the chair leg and nearly face-planting in front of the entire hall.

Claire suppressed a smile. "Take your time."

A wave of laughter rippled through the back rows.

Cooper's face flushed an even deeper shade of red.

Thankfully, his slightly tan complexion hid the worst of the blush.

Claire pulled a chair to the center of the stage and gestured for him to sit.

Cooper was a diligent student, but he spent hours hunched over video games in his dorm, leaving his shoulders knotted and tense.

Claire began the acupuncture demonstration, specifically targeting the severe tension in his upper back. In a flash, several silver needles were precisely embedded in his muscles.

"The girl's technique is immaculate," a veteran alternative medicine practitioner muttered from the front row.

The Western surgeons in the room didn't fully grasp the intricacies of the art, but they had all seen traditional doctors work. Claire's fluid, effortless motions were easily on par with masters who had practiced for fifty years.

"It's not just immaculate. Look at how she places the needles—zero hesitation, lightning-fast. She has an encyclopedic, instinctual mastery of human anatomy."

"Her youth is actually a massive advantage here; her stamina and steady hands are flawless. Barry, you said she was instrumental in the bone cancer trials and actually provided the breakthrough theory?"

One of the senior surgeons turned to Barry for confirmation.
