The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1750

If they had been thrown into the exact same high-pressure scenario as Tandy and Claire, they likely wouldn't have done nearly as well.

"You two did an exceptional job. Even in my prime, I'm not sure I could match Tandy's level of execution."

As for Claire, her hands-on skills were phenomenal. She only lacked a bit of sheer clinical experience, but her reflexes were lightyears ahead of most seasoned surgeons.

Not to mention, Claire's ability to adapt on the fly was unparalleled.

Mary looked deeply proud. "You're going to be the most formidable surgical expert of your generation, Claire."

Receiving Mary's praise filled Claire with an immense sense of fulfillment.

Even though her first mentor, Hale, was no longer with her, Mary remained her guiding light in the medical world.

Having someone like her around meant Claire had someone to share her victories with.

Mary was the living witness to the path Claire had walked.

"I'll keep working hard, Mary."

Claire didn't let a sliver of success go to her head.

She knew she still had a long way to go.

"Good." Mary reached out and affectionately ruffled Claire's hair.

They couldn't stay in the ICU for long. Silas was still sleeping, and it wouldn't be good to wake him.

Tilda walked them to the door and immediately tried to set up a dinner date.

"Let's grab dinner tonight! I'll officially welcome Mary to Cabinda. How does that sound?"

Claire was about to decline, knowing Mary wasn't a fan of social obligations.

"Don't turn me down just yet. I'm a local, so I know all the absolute best hidden spots."

Tilda winked at Claire.

"I heard your last trip to the food street was a total disaster. Tonight, I'm taking you and Mary somewhere truly special!"

Claire's eyes darted to Tilda's baby bump. "You're heavily pregnant. If you just go out eating at random places, won't both your families freak out?"

It wasn't that she didn't want to eat with Tilda; she was just worried about potential risks to the baby.
