Chapter 44
44:
Christopher looked at Ethan and said, “Shall we leave here to see your grandfather now?”
On the seventh floor, the group of people remained outside Room 101. The doctors and the Mitchell family elders were still gathered, looking as dismissive as before when they saw Brenna. As soon as they saw Ethan leading Brenna toward them, their expressions darkened.
Emmett Mitchell, Ethan’s father, stepped forward, his displeasure clear. “Why have you brought that fraud back here? She already caused trouble here earlier, and we had her removed.”
Ethan turned to face his father. He was unaccustomed to seeing his father in casual clothes, having mostly seen him in military uniform. But even in casual attire, his father’s authoritative demeanor remained. In a composed voice, Ethan said, “Dad, this is Dr. Cuthbert Pierce’s renowned student—Dr. Harper.”
A hush fell over the group.
Emmett’s sharp eyes reevaluated Brenna. Skepticism flickered across his face. “You’re really Dr. Pierce’s student?” he asked.
He found it difficult to believe, but the fact that Christopher stood beside Brenna meant she wasn’t a fraud.
Emmett’s eyes landed on the medical kit in Christopher’s hand. The realization settled in: despite her age, Brenna had already established herself as a leader in the medical field.
Brenna looked at him and replied without hesitation, “That’s right. I am his student.”
Ethan remained silent, beginning to piece things together. He believed he could guess what had happened earlier. However, since the people present were all his elders in the family, he chose not to criticize their arrogance.

“Please—” The others made way for Brenna.
As Brenna moved toward the hospital room, she glanced at the doctors she had encountered earlier. Her voice was calm as she said, “I recall someone promising an apology.”
The doctors collectively tensed. Lindsay hesitated before turning to Christopher. “Isn’t she supposed to be Cuthbert’s renowned student? If that’s the case, shouldn’t she be some top-tier expert in the medical field? She’s far too young. Is she really skilled?”
“Yes.” Christopher’s expression was serious. “Dr. Cohen, you should apologize to her now.”
Lindsay’s jaw clenched, her pride warring with the demand. After an agonizing pause, she finally forced the words out. “I’m sorry,” she muttered with clear reluctance.
As Brenna entered the hospital room, she heard murmurs behind her.
“She’s really the one treating him? She looks way too young.”
Lindsay’s eyes burned with resentment. She had always been at the top of her field, excelling in medical school with record-breaking scores. Throughout her academic years, she had consistently ranked first, earning prestigious scholarships and fast-tracking her way through advanced degrees.
