A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Queenie’s older brother – Cornellus, was in charge of Silverbirch Hospital.
The hospital wasn’t just limited to selling herbs; they even established several clinics and developed a
good reputation for their skill. Many patients recovered from their illness after a trip to one of Silverbirch
Hospital’s clinics.
Arielle made a trip to Silverbirch Hospital because she wanted to purchase some herbs for Josee.
Unlike the old Southall estate, there wasn’t a place for Arielle to pluck herbs in Jadeborough.
Additionally, she wanted to double the amount of herbs.
Since Silverbirch Hospital was the largest hub for herbs in Jadeborough, Arielle was confident that it
would have what she needed.
Coincidentally, Silverbirch Hospital’s workers were on a lunch break when Arielle arrived. Only Cornelius
was on duty.
The interior design of Silverbirch Hospital was minimalistic and elegant. When Arielle entered, the strong
smell of herbs wafted over.
“Is someone here?” Arielle called out.
A man in a green shirt emerged from the back. Although he looked familiar, Arielle was sure she’d never
met him before.
However, she recalled that Silverbirch Hospital was under the ownership of Queenie’s family.
Immediately, Arielle connected the dots and figured out the man’s identity.
“Greetings, Miss. Are you here to purchase some herbs or a consultation?” he asked politely.
“I’m here to get some herbs.”
“All right, do you have a prescription?”
Arielle handed over the list she’d written. When Cornelius skimmed through it, he looked taken aback.
“l-Is this treatment designed to cure lung disease?” he stuttered.
Arielle nodded in confirmation. “Yes. It’s for mid-stage lung cancer.”
Cornelius blanched in shock as he glanced at Arielle with an astonished look. “If I may ask, who was the
doctor who wrote this prescription? Looking at it makes me ashamed of myself. I’ve never accepted
these sorts of patients because it is almost impossible to cure. Never in my life have I seen such a
unique prescription. The doctor who wrote this must be a brilliant individual. Will it be possible to tell me
who this genius doctor is?”
As a traditional Chanaean doctor himself, Cornelius knew that the doctor behind this prescription must
be a very knowledgeable person.
Arielle looked at Cornelius in surprise.
Queenie and her brother are like day and night. While he is humble, Queenie is arrogant and haughty.
Cornelius had left a lasting impression on Arielle. Arielle smiled and said, “The doctor who wrote this
prescription is a huge fan of fate. If fate allows it, I’m sure the two of you will meet one day.”
“I see.” Though Cornelius looked disappointed, he did not push her for an answer.
He turned to study the prescription again. “Miss, please wait for a moment. Two of the herbs listed here
are located in our storage room. I’ll need to head there to gather them.”
“All right, I’ll wait for you here.”
As soon as she spoke, a cry for help echoed outside.
“Help! Dr. Mill, please save my daughter!”
Cornelius stiffened when he heard the piercing screams. Without any delay, he hurtled outside.
Since Arielle had nothing to do, she decided to tag along.
Outside, a middle-aged couple was begging for help. Cradled in their arms was a young girl who looked
about Arielle’s age. The girl’s body convulsed as foam spluttered out of her mouth. Furthermore, she
looked like she would pass out at any moment.
“Bring her in,” Cornelius instructed.
These days, most clinics and traditional Chanaean hospitals would refuse to accept patients in critical
conditions. A patient’s death on their hands would tarnish their reputation and invoke a myriad of
problems. Yet, Cornelius did not hesitate to let them in. Arielle felt her respect toward Cornelius grow
when she saw the man’s earnest behavior.
If Queenie was the one here, I‘m sure she wouldn‘t have allowed them to step foot into Silverbirch
Hospital.
Swiftly, Cornelius moved the patient to one of Silverbirch Hospital’s wards.
The patient was already showing difficulty breathing as she looked like she was on the verge of passing
out.
As quick as a hare, Cornelius fed the young girl a soothing pill he’d created himself. Two minutes later,
the girl’s convulsions seemed to subside. Yet, she was still in a state of near-unconsciousness.
Out of curiosity, Arielle made her way to the box where Cornelius stored his soothing pills. She picked
one up and sniffed it. Its herbal scent caused Arielle’s brows to inch upward.
It looks like Cornelius himself is an impressive doctor.
