Chapter 1755

[ 583 words ]

Yvette had been on her way to find the attending physician, never expecting to stumble upon Evie arguing with another young woman.

“Evie?” Yvette hurried over.

Even though she had her grievances with Evie, seeing her in a confrontation still triggered her protective instincts.

However, Evie’s reaction to seeing Yvette was entirely different.

“Yvette, what are you doing out here so quickly?”

She felt a sudden spike of panic. Had Yvette seen her acting like a belligerent lunatic just now?

Evie wasn’t sure.

“I came out to find the doctor,” Yvette explained briefly.

Then she asked, “What’s going on? Do you know this girl?”

Evie instinctively wanted to lie to cover her tracks.

But Claire had no intention of letting her control the narrative.

“Hello, you must be Quentin’s mother?”

Claire took the initiative to speak. Her polite demeanor and striking beauty instantly earned her a favorable impression from Yvette.

Yvette even found herself thinking that if this was the girl her son had fallen for, she would be completely on board.

She clearly had an excellent upbringing.

“I am. And you are?” Yvette kept her wits about her. While she wasn’t overly enthusiastic, her tone was warm.

It was exactly that warmth that put Evie on high alert.

“My cousin is Quentin’s dance partner.”

Realization dawned on Yvette immediately. This was the cousin of the girl her son was secretly in love with—the medical student who supposedly had a way to heal him.

“You study medicine?” Yvette hadn’t expected to meet the student before even consulting the doctor.

“Yes.” Claire’s expression remained perfectly calm.

It was so calm that Yvette genuinely couldn’t tell if she was exaggerating her abilities.

“Quentin told me you could heal his leg and get him back on stage. Is that true?” Yvette couldn’t hold back the question.

Before Claire could answer, Evie eagerly interjected to deny it. “Don’t listen to her, Yvette!”

“She’s just a student. There’s no way she’s better than the top specialists here!” “Her cousin is just using this to—”

Evie’s words were turning nasty, and Yvette sharply cut her off. “Evie!”

Whether the girl could actually cure him or not, it was completely unacceptable to disrespect her like this.

Evie’s fatal flaw was her vicious mouth.

When she was little, she had been so sweet, and she was usually fine in front of Yvette, but why was she so exceptionally cruel when dealing with other girls?

“But I’m not wrong, Yvette! Please don’t let her trick you!”

Yvette shot Evie a disapproving glare, finally forcing her into silence.

“I’m sorry, dear. Evie has been a bit spoiled by her parents and myself.”

“The situation is this: my son has

already had surgery performed by a leading orthopedic surgeon. The doctor satrie’s Highly likely to suffer from long-term complications and might never dance again…”

Before Yvette could finish, Claire gently interrupted. “I think there was a misunderstanding yesterday.”

“I came to the hospital to visit a patient, and it just so happened my cousin was visiting your son.”

“Since I study medicine, she wanted me to broaden my horizons, so she brought me along to meet him.”

“We only mentioned that his leg *might* be able to recover. I never guaranteed that I could personally cure him.”

“I’m just a student, not a licensed doctor. I definitely won’t be treating Quentin.”

Claire’s words painted a very different picture from the day before.

Yvette listened, feeling that something was slightly off.

But Evie looked immensely triumphant.

“See? I told you she couldn’t heal him. Stop wasting your time on her, Yvette!”
