?Chapter 552:
Adopting a mournful look, the fake Milena sighed deeply and scolded the fake Levi for all to hear. “We have to treat our work with the utmost seriousness. As healers, every detail matters, and people’s lives are at stake.”
“You have my word, Dr. Atkinson. I won’t repeat this mistake,” the fake Levi replied, dipping his head with calcted remorse written all over his face.
A sudden, sharpugh cut through the tension. Elliana, disguised as a young man, faced both impostors, her voice steady. “That’s enough. Drop the act right now.”
Heads snapped toward the disguised Elliana, curiosity ignited. So far, attention had revolved around the fake Milena. Only when Elliana’s voice rang out did people realize a poised young man was standing nearby, someone none of Ublento’s influential families could ce. Suspicion crept in. Why was he using “Milena” of deception?
The fake Milena had soaked up admiration directed at the real one for ages, so hearing someone speak against him out of nowhere left him rattled and frustrated. Still, to keep up his charade, he had no choice but to keep his temper in check and hold on to the calm everyone expected from the real Milena. Thus, the task of retorting Elliana fell to the fake Levi.
Elliana’s words wiped the calm right off the fake Levi’s face, and his expression hardened as he shot her a sharp re. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Elliana kept her gaze cold and unblinking. “You know what I’m talking about. There’s no point pretending otherwise.”
What she said left both the fake Levi and the fake Milena unsettled. A quiet panic stirred between them as they wondered if their disguises had finally been uncovered. Trading uneasy nces, both turned their focus to Elliana, scrutinizing her every movement.
After a quick assessment, the fake Milena stiffened and responded, “You’re confusing me. What are you using us of?”
Elliana gave a knowing smile. “VoxSalutis and Golden Needle are practically glued to Dr. Atkinson. An assistant wouldn’t have a chance to leave them behind. You’re inventing this excuse to cover the truth—you can’t treat Jarvis at all.”
Anger red in the fake Levi’s eyes as he retorted sharply, “How dare you insult Dr. Atkinson’s good name with these wild ims? Apologize right now, or we’ll have no choice but to involve the authorities!”
Trinity interjected firmly, “Excuse me, sir, but may I ask your name? Are you aware that making baseless usations like that could have legal consequences? Dr. Atkinson holds a respected position in the medicalmunity, and if you continue to speak against Dr. Atkinson, no doctor will sit back and let it slide.”
Let your imagination soar with gα?ησν????s.?ο??
Murmurs of agreement quickly rippled through the crowd, and soon, voices rose in support of Trinity.
“Young man, you should watch your mouth!”
“Show some respect. Dr. Atkinson’s reputation was built long before you arrived!”
Through the rising tide of criticism, Elliana’s expression remained cool as she stared at the fake Milena and the fake Levi. “If either of you possessed real skill and
“If either of you possessed real skill and integrity, I’d give you the respect you expect. But frauds deserve nothing but exposure.”
With Jarvis’s condition hanging by a thread, time mattered too much to keep arguing. While the fake Milena was momentarily distracted, Elliana acted without hesitation, yanking off his false beard.
