Chapter 639



.

The rumors spread so strongly that the news became the juiciest gossip in the circle.

After all, rich old ladies liked to gossip about other people best of all.

The Stewarts had long since become the envy of everyone in New York because all the Stewart Sisters had given birth to triplets, but Helen hadn’t been able to.

Everyone laughed at them.

As for Nora… When everyone found out that she wasn’t really that much of an expert in alternative medicine, they finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

It couldn’t be helped. Since the return of the real young Smith girl, she had already given everyone too many surprises.

After hearing that her medical skills were lacking, everyone finally found her more down-to-earth.

However, no one ridiculed her. In fact.

“Don’t be depressed, Miss Smith! You are still young. It’s normal that the older and more experienced the doctor is in alternative medicine, the better it will be!”

“Yes, it’s true. Miss Smith, alternative medicine pays more attention to relying on talking to the patient, observing their symptoms and skillfully diagnosing the pulse. You have been working behind closed doors and away from the masses before, so it is natural that you have less experience. Also, it is probably very difficult to tell from a person’s pulse that they have a condition like asthenospermia, isn’t it? So, this is not your fault.”

“Miss Smith, even if you haven’t inherited the essence of Doctor Zabe’s skills in alternative medicine, it doesn’t matter. After all, you are amazing at modern medicine! People like us would shake our hands if we had to hold a scalpel, but you can even operate on people’s brains! That’s really amazing.”

“Miss Smith, when are you and Mr. Hunt getting married, and has the wedding date been set?”.

A group of women surrounded Nora and chatted nonstop. Nora felt a headache coming on and regretted a little that she had attended the party.

Today was Helen’s birthday.

Yes, the day after her divorce was her birthday, but Thomas must have forgotten, hadn’t he?

To take away the glum air surrounding his younger sister, Jessica, the youngest Stewart girl, had arranged a big birthday party for her.

Jessica, who had married into the Scotts, had six children: four boys and two girls. Her status in the family was also very high.

Since she had personally arranged the birthday party, at the Scotts’ expense, most of the guests would attend.

In addition, Jessica also intended to find a new partner for Helen at the birthday party.

The best way to shake off a previous relationship was to start another one right away.

Nora had also been invited, so she was here too.

She nodded casually to the people around her and headed off to the side.

As she left, a few people made fun of her saying, “She’s not Mrs. Hunt yet, I don’t know why she’s being flattered so much! Besides, her medical skills aren’t that great either!”

However, a few others scoffed, “Even if she’s not Mrs. Hunt, she’s still Miss Smith. Plus, you make it sound like you guys are so cool. I really don’t know what makes you think you can look down on others.”

The people making fun of her suddenly gagged.

Elsewhere, Nora had approached Helen, who looked listless and as if she couldn’t lift her spirits at all.

Jessica was lecturing her. “Can’t you psych yourself up a bit, is it really worth it for that scum to do this?”. Helen ducked her head and sighed. “Jessica, I’m not doing this for him. But it really seems pointless to me to announce the truth at the party. So what if everyone knows I’m not infertile? Do we want people coming up to the Stewarts proposing marriage just because of the Stewarts’ ability to reproduce?”

Sometimes people who had been hurt too deeply found it difficult to even defend themselves.

Jessica seemed to have expected better from her, but she also choked on her words.

At that moment, a flurry of activity suddenly came from the doorway.

All three looked out to see a heavily made-up woman enter: it was Cecelia!

Helen’s pupils immediately shrunk and she stood up.

Cecelia smiled and said, “Helen, today is your birthday, so I’ve come to give you a present. I would also like to offer my apologies. Thomas should not have spread the truth everywhere like that. His actions were too hurtful towards you…”

Helen, who just a second ago looked totally listless, immediately snapped to attention!

Nora: “…”

As expected, the only one capable of spurring Helen on would be the enemy she hated the most, right?
