Chapter 554
Chapter 554:
“What? That young man is Dr. Atkinson?”
“You’ve got to be kidding!”
“Dr. Atkinson is a legend in the world of medicine! A figure like that would have spent decades mastering his craft. How could he possibly be some twenty-year-old kid?”
In the middle of all the noise, Cole remained motionless in the corner. Levi’s statement caught him off guard. His gaze locked on Elliana, eyes gleaming with a mix of realization and awe. He absolutely believed Levi’s words. So, his wife was actually Milena! But the thought hit him a second later—no, she wasn’t his wife anymore. He had pushed her away so cruelly.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something. Elliana had always known he’d been searching for Milena. Yet, all this time, she had stayed silent, never once hinting at her true identity. That silence alone showed her unwillingness to expose her secret. But now—today—she had disguised herself as a man and stepped forward as Milena. Was this a deliberate attempt to reveal her identity to him?
No one noticed Cole’s stunned expression. All eyes were on the brewing storm at the center of the room. The debate over the real Milena and the fake one raged on.
Trinity’s anger flared. She couldn’t accept that her mentor might be a fraud. Her voice rose, sharp and accusing. “You’re the impostor, not him!” she shouted, pointing a trembling finger at the disguised Elliana.
Elliana’s eyes flicked toward Jarvis, whose condition was clearly worsening by the second. She knew there was no time to waste. Calmly, she stepped forward and said, “If words aren’t enough to prove who I am, then let my skill do it instead.”
Levi stepped beside her and handed over a compact medical kit.
Without hesitation, Elliana opened it and retrieved two items. Shock rippled through the crowd as they caught sight of the shimmering items in her hands. Read complete version only at.net
“Is that VoxSalutis?”
“Wait… That’s Milena’s exclusive Golden Needle?”
But Trinity wasn’t ready to give in. She scoffed. “How do we know those aren’t fake, too?” she sneered. “Anyone can carry props.”

Elliana didn’t spare Trinity a glance.
Instead, she turned to Foley with calm determination. “Mr. Fairclough, may I treat your son?”
Foley looked uncertain. He studied the composed young man in front of him. Was this really Milena? He couldn’t be sure. But the truth was, his son had already been declared beyond saving. No one else could help him. What harm could one more attempt do? He exhaled slowly and then nodded. “Yes. Please do what you can.”
“Thank you for trusting me,” Elliana replied softly. She carefully placed the VoxSalutis into Jarvis’s mouth.
Moments later, Jarvis’s breathing, which had been weak and labored, grew noticeably stronger. A ripple of astonishment ran through the room.
Trinity’s confident mask slipped. Doubt flickered in her eyes. Could it be true? Was her mentor a fraud?
Ruben stepped forward, curiosity written all over his face. He studied Elliana’s features carefully. Could this really be the Milena he had been chasing after all these years?
