After the long holiday, Hera gradually resumed work.
With Catherine’s approval, she registered a business name under her identity as Dr. Miracle, calling it Youngworth Miracle Clinic. She then began handling the clinic’s opening procedures.
Catherine had dedicated her life to alternative medicine. Back in the day, her title as Dr. Miracle was renowned.
If not for the upheaval by the Killian family that forced her into mountain seclusion, she would have opened her own clinic long ago and become a respected figure in alternative medicine.
Hera not only realized Catherine’s unfulfilled wish but also directly challenged the Killian family by using Catherine’s name to register the clinic. The most dangerous place was often the safest.
If they continued hiding like this, the Killians could assassinate them without anyone knowing. At least by being in the open now, the Killians would have to consider their reputation before taking action.
A month later, Youngworth Miracle Clinic had its grand opening.
Hera had initially planned for a low-key launch. After all, the clinic wasn’t about making a quick buck but about providing intensive care.
She didn’t want Catherine to overexert herself, so she stipulated only ten patients a day by appointment only.
However, on opening day, prominent figures from the four influential families-Bernard, Ralph, Shaun, and Johnson-gathered, along with the head of the Hubbard family, Damian, and Samantha. This gave the clinic instant media attention.
At the Chime residence, Priscilla peered at the article on her tablet through her reading glasses and exclaimed in surprise, “Dr. Youngworth is actually alive!”
Augustus, sipping on the tea delivered by Camille, immediately set down his teacup at the mention of Dr. Youngworth.
“What? Let me see.”
He hurriedly got up, not setting the cup down properly. The moment he got up, it fell and shattered.
It was a set of ceramic cups gifted by his eldest grandson, Daryl Chime. Each of them was engraved with a word from the phrase “joyful life, everlasting happiness”. Priscilla cherished them dearly.
Now, the cup with the word “life” was broken. Priscilla’s face immediately darkened.
“What’s with all this excitement? Can’t you be calmer at your age?”
Augustus felt displeased at being reprimanded before Camille.
He said sharply, “It’s just a cup. If one breaks, we’ll buy another. Why make such a fuss?”
“If it weren’t for your excitement over hearing the name of your old lover, would this cup be broken?”
“Old lover again! It has been so long since I’ve seen her, yet you keep going on about it.”
Sensing that her grandparents were about to argue, Camille quickly intervened to soothe them.
“Grandma, I’ll have Daryl order you another set of teacups. Don’t be upset.”
Then she gently advised Augustus, “Grandpa, maybe speak less. Grandma’s just upset about the teacup.”
Augustus turned and walked away.
Seeing this, Priscilla became even more furious.
“You get mad every time we talk about this. Fine. If you leave, don’t ever come back!”
“Grandma, Grandpa just doesn’t want to argue with you,” Camille softly reasoned.
She then glanced at the article on the tablet and saw a photo of the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Youngworth Miracle Clinic’s entrance.
Camille caught sight of Hera in the photo and said, “It’s her.”
She grabbed the tablet at once. After reading the article, she
Hera was Catherine’s inter
since they bore the same surname.
“Do you know her?” Priscilla asked when she noticed Camille’s reaction.
Camille nodded.
“I’ve met her before. She said she was Bernie’s secretary. Bernie hasn’t been seeing me lately because of her.”
Priscilla immediately understood.
She knew about Camille’s affection for Bernard. Most importantly, the Chime and Killian families were considering a union. They were simply waiting for sparks between Bernard and Camille.
She held Camille’s hand and comforted her, “Silly, you should take the initiative if he doesn’t look for you. If you don’t look for him won’t you be giving that bitch a chance?
“Don’t worry. Back then, her grandmother couldn’t compete with me. She surely can’t compete with you now. Don’t forget. You’re Dr. Shadow.”
Camille parted her lips as if to explain but ultimately remained silent.
