Chapter 1315
Maria’s brain could not process Austin's words, and she stood there, stunned. Austin did not care for all the things she had mentioned. Since everyone thought he was Dominic's secret apprentice, many wealthy and influential people sought his help. It was not like he helped all of them.
He knew he was not Dominic's secret apprentice. Although he was confident in his medical skills, there was a risk of things going wrong.
When that happened, he would offend influential people, so taking the risk would not be worth it.
Moreover, he understood that he could not accept their invitation easily with the increasing number of people who sought his help. It would only make him lose his mystique and make him appear worthless.
"Mr. Fike, I don’t have ill intentions, and I'm not lying to you. Didn't you learn about medicine to save people’s lives? My niece is only a little over 20 years old, and she consulted many doctors about her condition, but none of them could help her.
"If you could save her, you could make a name for yourself in the whole world!" Maria was unwilling to give up and chased after Austin.
However, Austin only strode more quickly into the parking lot to look for his car. He was not in the mood to entertain her at all.
Seeing that he was going to leave, Maria panicked and stood in her spot. Stomping her foot, she said through gritted teeth, "If you really are the miracle doctor and you're his secret apprentice, why won't you dare to help us? You're just a conman, aren't you?"
That was Fabian's doubt earlier, while Maria was confident that Austin was not a conman. However, she could not care about all that now.
