The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 688

The specialist stayed quiet, but the disdain on his face made his thoughts on traditional medicine painfully clear.

Barry had been invited as an observer, and right now, he was thoroughly amused.

Another person was about to be put in their place by Claire's traditional techniques.

The first victim had been his own student.

But Barry didn't feel sorry for his student in the slightest.

In his eyes, the ignorant deserved to be taught a lesson.

Otherwise, they'd never learn that there was always someone better out there.

"Traditional medicine has its uses, but when it comes to surgery, modern medicine is undeniably superior."

"After all, you can't perform surgery with traditional medicine."

The specialist wore his arrogance like a badge.

Claire was more than happy to educate him. "Who says traditional medicine doesn't do surgery?"

"The history of traditional surgical procedures dates back..."

Claire listed off a series of facts before looking the man in the eye. "I have no objection to your preference for modern medicine, but you cannot erase the achievements of those who came before us."

"If you refuse to acknowledge Solenia's traditional healing arts, then on what grounds did Western techniques gain traction here?"

"Combining the strengths of both fields is the only viable path forward..."

Claire's sharp words left the specialist red in the face.

He had no idea how this young girl had such a biting tongue, but he knew continuing this argument would only humiliate him further.

Vice President Sterling stepped in at the right moment to smooth things over.

The specialist wasn't on staff at their hospital, but he was quite reputable in Apex. Seeing him dressed down by Claire made Sterling feel a twinge of second-hand embarrassment.

However, it was obvious to him that Claire was just defending her grandmother.

"It's true. Weren't you all asking about that pileup on the highway?" Mary brought up the incident where Claire had stopped to save lives during a trip.

That very case had been analyzed by major hospitals across the region.

Learning that Claire was the surgeon involved, the wave of skepticism immediately vanished.

Even the loud-mouthed specialist fell silent.

Because that surgery was already considered textbook-perfect.

Although the attending director hadn't performed flawlessly, the timely intervention of a mysterious female doctor had made the operation a massive success.

That patient was also a car crash victim and was reportedly still recovering.

Many had tried to check on his progress, but the hospital had denied access.

The patient had since been transferred to Cabinda, leaving everyone in the dark and making them even more curious.

"Who would have thought?" Vice President Sterling marveled. "The younger generation is truly leaving us in the dust."
