Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Who Is the Fraud?
Thanks to the medical texts left on the stone walls of the Monroe Family’s ancestral home, Simon Hale’s medical skills are highly sought after in Esteria, with many people flocking to him for medical consultations daily.
Even the esteemed Zachary, one of the four prominent families in Esteria, specifically hired him as his private physician.
But recently, a young Divine Doctor from Westmarch emerged and news of her spread to Esteria.
It’s said that many impoverished families in Esteria who couldn’t afford his services are now traveling to Westmarch for consultations.
Not only are many previously incurable conditions from Esteria being treated here, but the medication costs are also exceptionally low.
Thus, the legend of this young Divine Doctor grew among the masses, with some claiming she is the reincarnation of Bodhisattva, while others say she’s Asclepius reborn.
No matter if this young Divine Doctor actually has skills or is merely pretending to have them, Simon Hale won’t let her off because she has already tampered with The Hale Family’s livelihood!
You see, people used to form long lines for consultations at The Hale Family, but recently, barely a few have shown up.
The crucial point is, he’s learned from insiders that Old Master Keaton, the head of the Keaton Family, is planning to go to Westmarch to seek out this Divine Doctor to treat his heart disease.
Though the Keaton Family is considered one of the four major noble families of Esteria, it is far above the other three in status.
Even if all of the other three families combined their assets, they might not match one-tenth of the Keaton Family’s wealth.
Therefore, Simon Hale’s greatest ambition was to use his medical expertise to associate with the Keaton Family, and he even planned to marry his precious daughter to Kyle Keaton, the head of the Keaton Family.
Though the Keaton Family has distant branches, Kyle Keaton is the only direct bloodline.
Once his daughter marries Kyle Keaton, she would become the head matriarch of the Keaton Family, and Simon Hale would become the father-in-law of the family head, becoming an existence esteemed throughout Esteria.
Yet, over the years, the Keaton Family members have been remarkably healthy, except for Kyle Keaton’s few assassination attempts in childhood, they’ve hardly suffered any ailments.
Thus, Simon Hale hasn’t found a suitable opportunity to formally connect with the Keaton Family.
After waiting for so many years, he finally hoped for an opportunity when Old Master Keaton was diagnosed with heart disease, thinking he could build rapport and implement a series of plans.
Who would have thought a Divine Doctor from Westmarch would emerge unexpectedly?
Therefore, regardless of whether this Divine Doctor truly possesses medical skills, she cannot remain.
Otherwise, Simon Hale would no longer be the pinnacle in the medical field.
While Simon Hale was contemplating how to deal with this Divine Doctor, Owen Shaw angrily retorted:
"I’ve told you she’s not a fraud, and not only is her medical skill excellent, but she’s also immensely kind, surely not targeting our family."
As the director at Rosewell Hospital, July Quinn’s monthly salary is substantial.
Yet, she has never taken it and instead donates directly to the hospital’s foundation for low-income patients.
And there was yesterday’s escort mission in Westmarch.
Every doctor and nurse tried desperately to excuse themselves for self-preservation.
Only July Quinn volunteered to participate and ended up saving everyone’s lives.
Her kindness and righteousness are obvious to all.
Zachary dismissively remarked, "You young one lack experience, unaware of the malice within human hearts. A villain would never openly declare ’I’m a villain’."
Simon Hale concurred, "Mr. Zachary, you don’t need to persuade Young Master Shaw. They say those involved are lost and those outside see clearly. Let’s unveil her true colors when she arrives, so Young Master Shaw won’t be blindly stubborn anymore."
"First, that little fraud must come," Zachary insisted she definitely wouldn’t dare.
Just then, a gentle female voice came from the doorway, "Who are you calling a little fraud?"
