They could not believe that she was the legitimate miracle doctor, Dr. Tussaud, upon comparing the picture on the internet to Nicole.
“If she has such excellent medical skills, why didn’t she continue to pursue her career in the industry?” someone questioned.
“Curious, huh?” Davin glanced at the children, who were currently playing in the yard.
“She’d wanted to have more babies with my brother.”
“Huh? Didn’t they have four children already?”
“Four is nothing! They should give birth to about eight or ten more children.”
Davin’s words were met with silence.
Are you expecting a football team?
Upon noticing the former’s contemptuous look on himself, Davin was suddenly reminded of the fact that the former’s wife had difficulty giving birth, despite consulting doctors from all over the world. He shouldn’t have brought up this topic, as he had touched a raw nerve there.
Davin cleared his throat awkwardly. “Why don’t you get Nicole to run a diagnosis on your wife?”
“She can treat that too?”
Well, at least there’s something to hope for.
“Nicole is Dr. Tussaud. You must have faith in her medical skills.”
As he said that, Anthony, who was unconscious on the side, slowly opened his eyes.
“What happened to me?”
“Dad, how are you feeling?”
“You got too worked up just now and fainted. Please try to control your emotions in the future,” Nicole uttered.
What do you mean by too worked up? Clearly, my blood was boiling because of Sheila, that little brat.
His eyes darted around the crowd, looking for Sheila’s shadow.
When he saw her flirting with Davin, he could only rein back his anger as he sighed heavily.
Sheila was the precious daughter of the Muir family and the soon-to-be daughter-in-law of the Seet family.
He could only swallow his anger as the Sweeting family could not afford to offend both families.
Seeing that he was fine, everyone started to praise Nicole’s medical skills.
“Ms. Lane’s acupuncture technique sure is amazing!”
“Exactly! How did she manage to wake him up so easily?”
“This is certainly a miracle!”
Anthony was at a loss for words.
Lisa, who had been watching silently at the side, pursed her lips and held her tongue.
Evan looked at her fixedly. “Aunt Lisa, is it considered a talent to have saved someone’s life?”
“I-I suppose so,” Lisa admitted sheepishly. She did not expect Nicole to be a master of acupuncture at all.
“Is it more impressive than playing the piano?” Evan asked deliberately.
Lisa laughed dryly. She couldn’t get herself to utter the word “impressive”.
Sophia looked askance at Lisa. “Of course it’s impressive. Not many people in the world have such excellent medical skills as Nicole. Playing the piano, or dancing, or any talents of the sort is too mediocre.”
“I know, right? We wouldn’t have known that you were Dr. Tussaud if it weren’t for the incident today. Ms. Lane sure is humble.”
“I think that a buried treasure like Ms. Lane is worthy of Evan.”
Sofie’s expression darkened. Knowing that she had crumbled into an eyesore, she left the Seet Residence, holding Anthony on the pretext of his frailty.
Lisa followed and walked them out the door.
Nicole looked at Evan and inquired with her gaze if Lisa and Sofie were related.
Evan nodded and introduced, “Lisa Moelle is her name. She’s Anthony’s cousin, Sofie’s aunt, and Uncle Adam’s second wife. Uncle Adam married her after divorcing his first wife and they have a daughter who has just turned twelve this year.”
It’s not surprising that she’s been picking on me from the moment I’d arrived. It turns out that she’s related to the Sweeting family.
Russell, who had been silent at the side, saw what was going on and was rather satisfied with Nicole’s performance.
