Chapter 500
Sienna noticed the man beside her suddenly grow quiet.
He was assessing her with a deep, penetrating gaze, like he was trying to fit a missing puzzle piece into place.
She was all too familiar with that look.
Every time he tried to dig up one of her secrets, he would wear this exact expression.
Jarred’s deep eyes, laced with scrutiny, stared unblinkingly at Sienna by his side.
Dr. Rosalind was Sienna’s biological grandmother, her closest blood relative.
And Dr. Vance had recently been invited by Sienna to treat Celeste’s leg injury.
The two shared a deep, well-known friendship.
These two virtually unreachable titans of Traditional Medicine were deeply intertwined with Sienna.
Yet, despite knowing Sienna for so long and investigating all her past credentials p>
He had never once heard of her apprenticing under anyone.
Even though she had studied Traditional Medicine since childhood, as far as he knew, she only flipped through the medical texts her grandmother left behind.
Even if she had a bit of talent and could barely be considered proficient p>
She shouldn’t even be in the same conversation as the Enigmatic Successor of Alistair Vance.
Despite thinking this, Jarred still couldn’t entirely shake his suspicions.
He suppressed his turbulent thoughts, lowered his voice, and asked probingly, “You have a deep relationship with Dr. Vance. Have you ever met this rumored Enigmatic Successor of his p>
“Dr. Vance stopped taking students thirty years ago.” Sienna plucked a grape and casually popped it into her mouth.
“I’m only twenty-five this year. Where would I even go to meet them p>
Jarred stared intently at her cool, composed features, trying to catch even the slightest flaw in her eyes.
But he found absolutely nothing.
She was too calm, too open—so unbothered that it made all his suspicions feel like baseless paranoia.
Eventually, he withdrew the darkness from his gaze and stayed silent, no longer pressing the issue.
Nearby, Celeste took in their entire interaction.
The jealousy and bitterness in her chest were almost impossible to contain.
If enduring and backing down wouldn’t earn her an ounce of what she wanted, then she would personally destroy Sienna’s poise and dignity right now.
She was going to make sure everyone in the room saw clearly that Sienna was completely unworthy of standing by Jarred’s side.
This so-called rising star of psychology was nothing but an empty shell, a useless trophy who only knew how to cling to men.
With this in mind, Celeste instantly wiped the gloom from her eyes and pasted on a gentle, harmless smile.
She spoke up slowly, her voice perfectly modulated, but it successfully drew the entire room’s attention straight to her.
“Seniors, mentors p>
Celeste looked friendly, seemingly offering genuine praise, but every word hid a calculated trap.
“Dr. Sloan is one of the most promising young psychiatrists in our country right now.
She has an excellent reputation in the industry, and her professional abilities are highly recognized.
Since everyone happens to be stuck on this difficult psychiatric case without a definitive conclusion p>
Celeste had just won an award, so her voice carried weight.
She wheeled herself to the center, perfectly guiding everyone’s eyes right to Sienna.
Celeste smiled with innocent naivety. “Why don’t we let Sienna join the discussion? Young doctors might just have a different Perpective you know.
As they say, an outside observer sees things clearly. The younger generation is formidable. Why don’t we all witness her true abilities for ourselves p>
Every pair of eyes, loaded with scrutiny and contempt, landed on Sienna at exactly the same time.
The patient under review today was universally acknowledged as the pinnacle of medical impossibilities.
A coma lasting ten years, severe refractory psychiatric disorders stacked with multi-organ cascading complications.
It spanned across multiple fields. Even several industry pioneers who had dedicated decades to their craft took turns analyzing it.
They had deduced plans over and over, yet ultimately could only barely sustain the patient’s basic vitals.
How could such an unsolvable, unprecedented medical mystery be cracked by a young female doctor who was only slightly famous in the psychiatric department?
