The next day, they accompanied the mentors in the village for another day and rushed to Horington in the afternoon to take a plane back to Jadeborough. Coincidentally, they were on the same flight as Abigail. Abigail Barton was speechless. She pretended not to see Annalise and Julian. Annalise found it funny. She had been longing for Abigail to treat her as a stranger.
After arriving at Jadeborough, Annalise and Julian immediately went to the hospital. Cassandraâs condition was already very stable. Jonathan was coming over personally to check on Cassandra.
Seeing Annalise, he immediately said, âItâs good that youâre here. Give him a few more acupunctures later to strengthen his condition.â âOkay.â Annalise replied.
When Jane heard Jonathan asking Annalise to give Casandra acupuncture again, she was worried Annalise would take all the credit if Cassandra cured faster. She immediately said, âMr. Woods, itâs fine.
My grandmother is recovering very well.â Everyone looked at Jane and thought that she was insensible.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Jane immediately changed her words. âWhat I mean is Ms.
Barton had just rushed back from Horington. Itâs been a long journey. My grandmother is recovering well, so she doesnât need acupuncture.âShe had learned to be smart now and would not fight head-on.
She had already contacted Gwen. When the time came, she would get Gwen to go to her house and give Cassandra a few injections. Gwen could take all the credit.
âAre you a doctor, or am I a doctor? Why donât you treat your grandmother instead?â Jonathan retorted bluntly. He did not know who treated Anna well or who was unkind to Anna. However, as Julianâs relative, anybody who addressed Anna as Ms. Barton was definitely trash! Jane was embarrassed and immediately apologized. âMr. Woods, thatâs not what I meant.â
Sean looked at Jane sternly and said politely to Jonathan, âProfessor Woods, my daughter has been spoiled. She said an awful thing. Please donât take it to heart. Iâm sorry!â
Jonathan said generously, âIâm doing this for your motherâs good. You canât find someone better in acupuncture than Annalise, my sister, in the entire Chanaea. With her acupuncture, your motherâs body will be further strengthened.â
The Hiller family people knew that Annaliseâs medical skills were superb. After hearing Jonathan praising her, they naturally hoped Annalise could perform acupuncture for Cassandra. Sean stood and said politely. âAnna, Iâll leave her to you.â Actually, their family was still fond of her even if Jonathan didnât praise Annalise. They liked everyone Cassandra liked. âItâs no trouble. This is what I should do as a junior. I also hope that Ms. Parks will be healthy and live a long life.â Annalise said.
The Hiller family was actually not bad. Jane was the only exception. Without thinking further, Annalise sat before the bed and took out her silver needles. Jane saw Annalise skillfully inserting the needles into Cassandraâs body one after another. She saw her parents, uncles, and aunts looking at Annalise performing acupuncture with admiration. It was as if they were looking at a god instead of a human.
She immediately felt depressed. Her phone rang again. She immediately picked it up. Then, she was excited. âGwen, youâre back? Thatâs great. Iâll come over now.â As soon as she hung up, she said to Sean, âDad, my best friend Gwen is back. Can I treat her to a meal?â
âGo ahead,â Sean pleasantly reminded her, âDonât drink. Donât get drunk if you drink. Iâll call Julian and ask him to pick you up later. Do you still have money? Iâll give you 300 thousand dollars later.â
Jane looked at Annalise proudly and said in a cute tone, âDad, I have money. Iâll go first.â With that, she left the ward. Gwen had returned last week. Jane was supposed to go pick her up with Jessy.
However, Gwen said she had to help her senior deal with a few cases after she returned. She had been busy until now.It was good that she was back. Now that she was back, she could help cure Cassandra. Now that Gwen had returned, Annalise had a competitor. They could finally see who was better.
Two days later. Cassandra was discharged and returned to the Hiller family to recuperate. Jane immediately invited Gwen to come and nurse Cassandra. She introduced Gwen to the Hiller familyâ¦
She mainly introduced Gwenâs achievements overseas over the years. Gwen was now a doctoral student at a famous medical university in Caspardion. The school offered her to work as a lecturer after she graduated. Of course, Gwenâs ambition was not to teach but to achieve success in medicine. So, she had already declined their offer.
Since their family immigrated to Caspardion, they had worked in the medicinal ingredients business.
They had a big company and were already an internationally famous pharmaceutical group. Gwen was also an internationally renowned surgeon. Except for Joy, the best brain surgeon, no one could beat her in surgery.
Jane finished introducing Gwen to them excitedly. She took out her phone and showed Gwenâs various certificates to the Hiller family. âDad, Mom, look, Gwen is really amazing. She had already achieved so much at such a young age. Itâs not easy for many people to get into university at this age, but sheâs already a medical doctor. People said there are specializations in various fields. Thatâs true. I think the higher a personâs education, the higher their attainments in the professional field. Of course, there are occasionally exceptions, but those are considered the lucky ones.â She implied that even if Annalise had medical skills. her development would be limited without education.
âYouâre right. Studying is very important. Learn from Gwen. I donât expect you to get a PhD. Itâs good enough to get a postgraduate degree,â Sean said with a smile. The Raven family was close to the Hiller family in the past. After the Raven family moved overseas, the two families gradually stopped interacting and became distant.
He did not expect the Raven familyâs daughter to have grown up so well. Her medical skills were already famous internationally. Jane deliberately mentioned Jonathan in front of Gwen. âGwen, Jonathan Woods is very famous in Caspardion, right? Heâs Master Quigleyâs top disciple.â
Gwen answered, âYes, Doctor Jonathan Woods is extremely famous in Caspardion. He performs surgeries non-stop every day. Sometimes, he performs four to five surgeries a day. Heâs especially diligent.â
Everyone knew very well that those truly skilled in medicine all became specialists. People had to make appointments and queue up to meet a specialist. Specialists worked according to their own time and even their own moods. Most of them could only perform two surgeries a day. Some specialists even perform only one surgery a week. Jonathan was so diligent. This meant his status was very low overseas.
She smiled and said, âThereâs still a certain difference between our country and foreign countries. Our countryâs people love legend. A legend like Master Quigley will last forever. Foreigners donât believe in legends. Nobody cares who the mentors are. Instead, they will look at a personâs past resume, how many surgeries they have performed, how high the success rate of the surgery is, and how difficult it is.
Then, they will carry out a comprehensive evaluation.â
