The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 972

"Claire, you are truly remarkable."

It was impossible not to be impressed by her.

Claire shook her head. "I've just been studying it a bit longer than most."

Dean Arthur Cole knew better. He too had been forced by his family to study traditional medicine at age three, memorizing ancient formulas and identifying medicinal herbs.

But he had been too young back then, too obsessed with playing to focus.

By the time he was older and actually wanted to learn, the window had passed.

Out of necessity, he pivoted to Western medicine and studied abroad.

On his deathbed, his father had wept bitterly: The legacy of our ancestors is going to die with your generation.

At that moment, Dean Cole had felt a crushing wave of regret, finally realizing his mistake.

He felt partly responsible for the fading legacy of traditional medicine.

After becoming the Dean of the medical school, he made it his mission to ensure traditional medicine continued to evolve.

But these days, very few students chose the field, and even fewer truly mastered it.

Finding raw, natural talent was nearly impossible.

And finding someone willing to bury themselves in the grueling study it required was even harder.

Most pursued it not out of passion, but simply as a means to make a living.

Claire's sudden appearance had been the greatest surprise of his career.

Dean Cole even thought that if Claire ever wanted to switch majors and focus purely on traditional medicine, he would support her entirely.

The university had never lacked prodigies in clinical medicine, but a genius in traditional medicine was agonizingly rare.

Especially in the art of acupuncture!

"You are exceptional," Dean Cole murmured, overwhelmed with emotion and at a loss for words.

Hudson's counselor took the opportunity to express his own heartfelt gratitude to Claire.

He added that Hudson's mother had commissioned a Commemorative Silk Scroll for her and asked him to pass it along.

Claire accepted the silk scroll, only to immediately hand it off to her own counselor.

"Sir, could you take this back for me? It's really not convenient to keep it in my dorm."

They were still in the middle of training camp, and Claire hadn't exactly broadcasted the fact that she was the one who had saved Hudson.
