Chapter 1411
[ 572 words ]
“I still think this is absurd…” Leland clenched his fists, his jealousy completely written across his face. “Professor Peter knows her! What if she bought him off?”
Everyone else was speechless. They didn’t know what to say. He was being way too emotional about this.
“Well…”
Peter offered an awkward laugh, his tone turning serious. “I believe every word she says.”
Throughout his medical research, he had encountered countless roadblocks, all of which she had helped him overcome.
There were also numerous experiments, studies, and massive projects where she had contributed significantly to their conception and completion.
Calling her a legendary doctor was no exaggeration at all.
“You believe me, but the people down there might not.” Juniper smiled faintly as she pulled out her phone and dialed an international number.
“I’ve run into a bit of a situation and might need you to make an appearance.”
She held the phone to her ear. “What situation? I need to prove I’m the legendary doctor!”
“Juniper, who are you calling?” Professor Dawson asked curiously.
“Professor Michelle,” she replied.
“Professor Michelle?”
Both Peter and Dawson blurted out the name at the same time, their faces etched with shock.
“Wait, do you mean the Professor Michelle? The medical titan who retired from the International Institute of Medical Sciences but was brought back as a consultant?”
Dawson’s voice trembled as he asked.
Anyone who had even dipped their toes into the medical field knew exactly who that was.
She was hailed as the “miracle worker” who could snatch patients straight from the jaws of death.
With a surgical success rate of 99%, she had saved countless lives.
Even at eighty years old, she continued to fight on the front lines for the advancement of medicine.
Scholars and practitioners across the globe held her in the highest esteem.
“Professor Michelle?” Peter leaned in, switching back to shocked English. “Are you sure? You’re not messing with us?”
“Just wait and see.”
After a casual reply, she spoke back into her phone. “We need to do a video call. Is that alright?”
“Of course.”
Michelle’s crisp, bright laughter echoed through the speaker. “It’s been so long. I really want to see your face.”
Juniper quickly logged into her account on the computer, and a second later, the video call ringtone echoed through the hall.
Less than five seconds later.
A silver-haired, deeply wrinkled elderly woman appeared on the massive screen.
Professionals in the industry
instantly recognized her as Michelle, the recent recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in Medicine.
“Long time no see, Michelle.” Juniper stepped forward so her stunning face
appeared clearly on camera.
“Oh, my dear Nocturne! It’s been entirely too long!”
Michelle beamed with excitement, the wrinkles around her eyes crinkling in the most endearing way.
Everyone in the room instantly perked up their ears.
What did Professor Michelle just call her?
My dear Nocturne?
“My dear Nocturne, why haven’t you
reached out to this old lady in so
long?” Michelle gazed at her with
overflowing affection. “Baby, we
Haven’t seen each other in person in
years.”

“It has been a while.”
Their recent contact had all been through video calls; it really had been two or three
years since they met face-to-face.
“Right, what did you just tell me? You needed to prove something?”
“To prove I’m Nocturne.”
Juniper’s red lips curled into a smirk as she spoke slowly. “I have no choice. You’re
the only one who knows my identity.”
“Oh, my goodness!”
Michelle’s smile vanished. She
grabbed her cane, stood up, and pointed angrily at the screen. “Show meshow me which blind little brats are daring to call you a fake!”
All the “blind little brats” in the venue held their breath, completely terrified.
