The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1749

The moment Mary arrived at the military hospital, Tandy greeted her with intense enthusiasm.

He had already spread the word that Professor Hastings was going to guest-lecture, and young doctors were fighting for seats.

"Professor Hastings, you are infinitely more popular than I am. If I announced a training session, nobody would show up."

Tandy joked with her playfully.

Mary wasn't buying a word of it.

"You're a veteran surgeon with invaluable frontline experience. If you announced a lecture, they'd break down the hospital doors trying to get in."

The two medical veterans exchanged glowing praises while Claire stood quietly to the side like a perfectly behaved intern.

Once the pleasantries were over, they finally got down to business.

Claire first took Mary to check on Silas Carl.

Since Silas was young and in peak physical condition, his recovery was remarkably fast.

The Carl family had people stationed there around the clock, and today, Tilda was visiting her cousin.

Her baby bump was visibly showing. The fierce, corporate edge she usually carried had completely softened into a radiant, maternal glow.

"Tilda! Long time no see. You look amazing."

Carrying the most fiercely protected baby of both the Hawk and Carl families, Tilda was obviously being pampered to perfection. Her complexion was flawless.

"It's all thanks to you. When I heard my cousin got hurt, I actually started spotting from the stress. It wasn't until you and Director Lee saved him that I finally relaxed."

Tilda was incredibly close to Silas; he was the one who had walked her down the aisle at her wedding.

If he had died, the emotional devastation could have easily cost Tilda her baby.

Hearing she had experienced complications earlier, Claire instinctively reached for her wrist to check her pulse.

"Everything is stable. Just keep resting, you don't even need any supplements."

Tilda had already seen top OB-GYNs who had told her the exact same thing.

Still, her emotional intelligence was off the charts, and she smiled warmly. "Hearing it from you makes me feel a hundred times better."
