The call was from her traditional Chinese medicine mentor, Elder Sawyer.
Eleanor Sterling snapped back to reality, picked up her phone, and walked to the corridor before nervously answering the call.
Eleanor Sterling coughed lightly, "Aethelgard."
"That’s great, I’m tied up here, there’s a patient you need to see for me."
"Let me tell you, Brian Zane also has his eyes on this patient, insisting on treating her with Western medicine. I can’t let him succeed. I’ll send you the information later. You must cure the person for me!" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelꞁire.net
Eleanor Sterling’s cheek twitched, and she reluctantly said, "Okay, I got it."
Elder Sawyer had great confidence in Eleanor Sterling; he knew that once he gave her a task, she would definitely handle it well.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Eleanor Sterling breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the phone rang again.
Looking at the caller ID, Eleanor Sterling smacked her forehead, a look of resigned exasperation on her face.
Darn it, this time it was Brian Zane calling.
She sighed and swiped to answer.
"Teacher, why are you calling me?"
Brian Zane’s friendly voice came through the receiver, "Eleanor, where are you?"
Hearing this familiar opening, Eleanor Sterling had a bad premonition—could it be that Brian Zane also wanted her to take action?
She said, "I’m in Aethelgard on business."
"Well, that’s convenient. There’s an urgent case that needs your help. Put everything else aside and go treat a patient for me."
Eleanor Sterling was petrified.
Her jinxing mouth—whatever she said came true.
"Teacher, don’t tell me..." Eleanor Sterling weakly said, "Don’t tell me you’re up against Elder Sawyer, and you’re both treating the same person?"
"Huh? How did you know? Have you heard about this matter as well?
That guy is boasting in the industry about how outstanding his pupil is, saying she’ll handle it quickly."
"Of course, my pupil cannot lose, so Eleanor, I’m counting on you."
Eleanor Sterling: "..."
Why did she ever accept two rival mentors back then? Now she’s left with herself to deal with herself, is that alright?
"Okay, Teacher, I’ll definitely cure that person."
Brian Zane repeatedly acknowledged, then added, "By the way, when are you free? The medical academy has new students enrolling, so you could come and give a lecture."
Eleanor Sterling coughed softly, "Maybe when I have some free time, I’m quite busy lately."
Brian Zane didn’t press her, "Alright then, just be quick, don’t let Brian Zane’s people get ahead."
With that, Brian Zane hung up the phone.
Eleanor Sterling frowned, unsure of what to do.
At this moment, both Elder Sawyer’s and Brian Zane’s messages came in simultaneously, containing all the patient information.
Eleanor Sterling quickly browsed through it and was surprised to find out that the patient was none other than the old lady of the Jennings Family.
What a coincidence! She had just thought of the Jennings Family and unexpectedly, such a good opportunity presented itself.
She could take advantage of the time treating Mrs. Jennings to investigate the matter regarding her mother and, hopefully, find out who her biological father was from the Jennings Family.
The next day, Eleanor Sterling took a day off to visit the Jennings Family.
The Jennings Family, as a military and political household in Aethelgard, was not like an ordinary wealthy family.
Although they didn’t flaunt luxury like the Faulkner Family, they still exuded a formidable presence, with guards posted every step in their villa area.
The guards at the gate stood tall and erect, their eyes sharp and bright, looking like elite soldiers trained in the military.
Since prior arrangements had been made, Eleanor Sterling wasn’t met with any trouble and was quickly allowed to pass through.
