Chapter 8
“Can anyone just claim they re Aster? Rumor has it that Aster is a man in his thirties You, are a young
girl How dare you pretend to be him? What’s your endgame?”
Astrid glanced at the man before her, a tad annoyed “I can cure her”
“Cure her?” The experts present burst out in laughter “We’re the top dogs in the medical field if we cant
treat her how can you?”
Another expert chimed in “Looking at your age, you’re probably a Uni student still, right? You’m just
here to catch the eye of the rich bloke Wylie, hoping to bag yourself a wealthy hubby. Girl, get lost. This
ain’t your playground”
“Scram before you make a fool of yourself”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou actually manage to cure the old lady, we’ll bow down to you!”
“Bow down and hail me queen, you mean?” Astrid raised an eyebrow, “Deal”
She didn’t necessarily want to clash with these folks, but she couldn’t stand their short sighted attitude
Astrid turned to Elio. “Sir, will you be my witness?”
Elie didn’t know what Astrid was up to, but he too was fed up with the so–called experts. So he nodded,
“Sure
The experts didn’t expect Elio to side with the young girl and exchanged surprised glances.
Astrid led everyone to the balcony and started treating the old lady.
Wylie was a nervous wreck “Elio, is she really Aster? Isn’t she too young?”
“Do you have any other options at this point?” Ello asked back, and Wylie just shut up.
Indeed, his mother was on her last legs and he was out of options.
Through the glass of the balcony everyone could see Astrid bustling around the old woman. She
punctured many of the old lady’s acupuncture points with silver needles and fed her some medicine. As
time ticked by just when Astrid was about to leave, the old lady’s hand suddenly relaxed!
The sight threw Wylie into a panic, “Mom!!”
Wylie barged in, with the experts on the balcony trailing behind. Just when everyone thought the old
lady had passed. A faint cough emanated from the bed. It was very faint, but it silenced the entire
room. Elia glanced at the young woman next to him, deep in thought.
The heartbeat monitor on the bedside slowly returned to normal. Overwhelmed with joy, Wylle was
about to thank Astrid, but she made a shushing gesture at him. She then calmly wiped the sweat from
her forehead, sat back in her chair, and said to the experts, “Alright, kneel,”
The experts glanced at each other. They had only said that earlier because they were certain the old
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlady couldn’t be cured!
They were big shots in the medical world. How could they kneel to a young girl? Even if the person in
front of them was Aster, they couldn’t kneel!
“This must be a temporary improvement before her death!” An expert insisted, “Her current
improvement doesn’t mean she can survive until tomorrow.” “Hmph.” Astrid sneered, “Are all “experts”
like this? Contradictory? Don’t even take your own words seriously?”
The experts faces turned sour. Elio stepped forward, his voice cold, “Kneel.”
Everyone felt a chill looking at Ello’s stern face. After all, the man before them was more than just a
CEO. They couldn’t afford to offend him.
Gingerly, one person knelt down. Seeing Elio’s increasingly stern face, the others also followed sult.
A room full of experts all kneeled before a young girl; it was indeed a sight to behold.
Elio’s voice was chillingly cold, “Didn’t you promise to kneel to the queen? Didn’t you forget
something?”
