Under the Heiress' Facade



Patricia could tell how sincere Hera was. Besides, Emily would receive lifetime free treatment from Youngworth Miracle Clinic without having to make any appointments.

Patricia felt like she had struck gold and had no intention of causing a scene. After thanking Hera, Patricia and Emily went home.

On the way home, Patricia finally saw the comments on the video uploaded in the afternoon. When she realized that half of the comments were criticizing Hera, she immediately reposted the video and added her statement.

"The woman who convulsed due to her allergies in the video is my mother. Dr. Youngworth prescribed two formulas as my mother is allergic to dandelion root. The second formula was to substitute the dandelion root in the first formula.

"But the nurse responsible for preparing the medicine mixed up the formulas and accidentally prepared the first prescription. Luckily, Dr. Shadow handled it in time, so my mother is fine now.

"Besides, Dr. Shadow even said that my mother would have lifetime free treatment at the clinic without needing to book an appointment. As long as she feels unwell, she can drop by the clinic anytime. The clinic is simply amazing. Thank you, Dr. Shadow."

Since Patricia had given her statement, theizens who had been trolling Hera immediately changed their tunes.

"I'm so jealous. I want that kind of special treatment too."

"I'm not envious at all."

"I should stage a fake accident to discredit Dr. Shadow!"

"What a blessing in disguise. I'm not jealous at all (I'm kidding)."

"She's just doing it for show. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that she made a mistake!"

"The commenter above is such a troll. Dr. Shadow is human as well. Who wouldn't make a mistake from time to time? Most importantly, she was able to make up for her mistake and saved the patient in time. No one died.

"Unlike a certain someone who pretended to be Dr. Shadow. The person knew something was wrong with the medicine but continued to produce and sell it."

"Exactly."

"To anyone who's planning to stage a fake accident to discredit Dr. Shadow, count me in!"

...

While on the way back, Everly had been swiping through her phone before coming across the video and comments online. She suddenly realized that she had used the wrong formula yesterday.

But seeing how Hera had calmly handled the matter in the video, Everly couldn't help but hold out hope that Hera would not blame her.

It was very serious for a herbalist to

use the wrong medicinal ingredients.

At best, the patient would

novel

experience diarrhea or vomiting. At

worst, the patient would die.

If the worst-case scenario happened, the herbalist would have to bear that stain for the rest of their life.

By now, the Chimes had finished

making preparations for the

paternity test, and things were at a

crucial stage. If Everly's mistake was exposed now, she would be at a

complete disadvantage.

The Chimes liked Everly for her ability as a herbalist. So, there was no way she could admit to the mistake.

While Everly was planning how to handle Hera at the clinic tomorrow, her phone suddenly rang, startling her. It was a call from Wayne.

Everly sighed in relief, realizing that it wasn't Hera. She answered the call, "Wayne..."

"Everly, where are you? Come back to the clinic immediately." Wayne's stern voice came over the phone.

Everly suddenly had a gut feeling that things were about to go wrong. "I'm on the bus and am on the way home."

"Hurry up. Everyone is waiting for you at the clinic," Wayne urged.

Everly did not expect that Hera couldn't even wait until tomorrow and wanted to settle the matter by tonight. She felt very uneasy. "Sure." Half an hour later, Everly arrived at the clinic entrance and spotted a recruitment notice for a herbalist stuck to the door.

Her heart skipped a beat. Was Hera about to replace her?

།

Feeling uneasy, Everly entered the clinic and saw Wayne waiting for her in the living room. Her late arrival made him ask with a frown, "What took you so long? Let's go.

Everly was about to explain, but seeing that Wayne already turned to leave, she could only keep quiet and follow him to the northern wing. Hera was sitting in front of the desk, playing games on her phone. There was a medicinal furnace, some medicine residue in a bowl, and half of a broken cup.

She looked rather distant, and it was hard to read her expression. Isla and Sarah stood beside her.

Since Catherine wasn't around, Everly knew that Hera had made up her mind to punish her. If Catherine were around, she could still speak up for Everly.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
