Chapter 1508
[ 571 words ]
And yet, Claire was technically majoring in conventional clinical medicine. This girl was bold, brilliant, and incredibly capable!
She truly was the daughter of those two legendary figures, possessing outstanding intellect and emotional intelligence.
With Dr. Sterling Senior’s endorsement, Silas quickly got approval from command, making a snap decision to deploy immediately via military aircraft.
The mission wasn’t just to cure the poisoned men; it was to discover how Dreamweed had resurfaced.
If someone within their borders was secretly cultivating the plant, they had to be found, and the crops destroyed!
The toxin was simply too catastrophic to ignore.
With one phone call from his grandfather, Elias was dispatched on the assignment.
He was forced to hand over his current patients to other doctors.
Elias rushed home to pack his gear before speeding to the airport to rendezvous with Claire’s team.
Claire’s involvement in the mission was highly contentious.
Padgett had been dead set against it.
He was terrified for her safety.
Despite Silas swearing up and down that she’d be protected, the old man couldn’t shake his fear that she’d be in danger.
Plus, she had just been injured. He wanted his granddaughter to rest and recover.
But Claire was unyielding.
“Grandpa, this is bigger than just one person. A normal doctor can’t cure this poison.”
“Furthermore, the follow-up treatment is incredibly complex.”
“They only went after Quinton to rescue me.”
“Now they’re in this state, and their lives might be ruined… My conscience won’t let me walk away.”
“And there’s the Dreamweed itself. My mentor told me that if I ever found it, I had to pull it out by the roots.”
Dreamweed was uniquely dangerous. Those ignorant of it shouldn’t touch it, and those who understood it definitely shouldn’t leave it alone.
The moment someone meddled with it, disaster struck.
Human greed was boundless, and this plant had the power to slaughter or cripple masses of people.
If Sundara weaponized it again, the consequences would be unimaginable. Ultimately, Padgett was swayed by Claire’s conviction.
In times of peace, one improves oneself; in times of crisis, one saves the world.
He hadn’t expected to see such profound nobility in his young granddaughter.
She rarely seemed passionate about practicing medicine, and she charged her patients whatever she felt like.
But when it came to the greater good of the nation, she didn’t hesitate for a second.
She was remarkably broad-minded

No, that wasn’t right.
She was already spectacular. He ought to thank Mary.
If Mary hadn’t raised her, Octavia would have undoubtedly ruined the girl.
It was just a tragedy that Melissa hadn’t been there to watch her incredible daughter grow up.
Bloodlines were a terrifying thing. He really could see Melissa’s reflection in Claire.
Her intelligence, her pride, and even her sense of righteousness!
His granddaughter and his daughter might very well walk the same treacherous path Padgett could bring himself to feel happy about it, but when he returned home, ne quietly poured himself a drink.
Norris and Owen came to see Claire off. Both disapproved just as strongly as their grandfather. Owen
ever offered to go in her plan
claiming he had nothing better to do.
Unfortunately, Claire shot him down without a second thought.
Regardless of what anyone else thought, Claire was ready to roll.
At the military airfield, Elias and Claire met for the first time.
Elias was deeply intrigued by the teenage genius his grandfather constantly praised.
Even his arrogant cousin had gone from despising her to feeling genuine gratitude. “Hello, I’m Elias Sterling.”
The handsome, elegantly refined man offered Claire his hand.
