Chapter 1633
[ 628 words ]
Regardless, it certainly stoked everyone’s curiosity about who Agassi truly was.
“Even if he came out of some remote mountain village, a golden boy is still a golden boy.”
“His sheer value is leagues beyond what any of those toads could ever hope to compare to.”
Caleb actually knew a mentor who had once taught Agassi—the very same man who had mentored Professor Achilles.
That mentor held Agassi in the highest possible regard.
If Agassi were still alive today, he would undoubtedly be at the academician level, at the very least.
Hanson clicked his tongue. If both of Claire’s parents were still around, they would be an absolute legend in Cabinda.
And who was to say they definitely weren’t? Maybe they had simply vanished?
They could reappear at any given moment.
Caleb’s depth of knowledge about Claire’s background far exceeded Hanson’s expectations.
Initially, his comments had just been playful probing, but now he sensed the situation might be a lot more complicated.
Was Caleb secretly plotting to steal Dane’s fiancée from right under his nose?
Leaving aside the fact that taking anything from Dane was nearly impossible, making an enemy out of The Green Family was a phenomenally bad business
move.
Hanson’s prolonged silence was a dead giveaway to Caleb, who knew him too well.
“You aren’t seriously worried I’m going to fight Dane for her, are you?”
Hanson chuckled awkwardly. “I’m just looking out for you, man. The Green Family is deeply entrenched. You don’t want to mess with them.”
Caleb sighed. “I never said I was going to do anything. You can relax.”
If Claire’s fiancé were anyone other than Dane, he might have actually thrown his hat in the ring.
But against Dane? Caleb knew the odds weren’t in his favor.
It wasn’t just that Dane was exceptionally formidable; the marriage pact between The Churchill Family and The Green Family had successfully bridged generations.
Anyone deliberately sabotaging it would be declaring war on both dynasties simultaneously.
Caleb had too much sense and self-control for that. He deeply admired Claire, but he would never do anything to put her in a difficult position.
Meanwhile, Claire sneezed several times in a row, blissfully unaware that Caleb and Hanson were gossiping about her.
Because she had been up all night helping resuscitate Hillary, she slept straight through the next morning, entirely missing her one scheduled class.
However, the moment she woke up, she immediately called her academic advisor to explain the situation.
She also reached out to the professor of the missed class. Fortunately, her instructors had absolute faith in her.
After all, she was the undisputed
prodigy of the medical school, and
everyone knew about the recent
accident. Even if she had just wanted a morning off to rest,” skipping a single class was deal.

More importantly, she had been out saving a life.

With Dr. Tandy backing her story, it was effortless for everyone to believe her.
Furthermore, the faculty was already
aware that Claire held a Medical
License. She was fully capable of
running her
dhar
practice and her
patient roster included some
incredibly influential figures.
Claire was undeniably exceptional. The administration had already instructed the
staff to give her a pass whenever necessary.
“Don’t worry about it, Claire. In the future, if something like this happens, just drop off a retroactive leave request.”
Listen to how forgiving that tone was!
Claire was genuinely moved.
“Understood. Thank you, Professor.”
There was only one class on Friday afternoon. Once it was over, Claire planned to
head straight home to catch up on her sleep.
If she didn’t recover her energy now, she’d be a zombie at tomorrow’s medical exchange conference.
The moment class dismissed, Claire practically floated out the door, fighting back a yawn.
Walking beside her, Priscilla stared in amazement. “You usually look so energized when you come to class Why do you look like you’ve pulled three all-nighters in a row?
“Wait, is the university forcing freshmen into clinical rotations early?”
Priscilla looked absolutely horrified.
While her expression was slightly theatrical, her concern wasn’t entirely unfounded.
