Upon hearing her mother’s voice, Noelle stopped in her tracks. Not interested in going downstairs to see An An, she turned around and approached her. Joston thought that his wife would not be able to understand what he had said as she was not entirely sober.

  Seeing that she wanted to get up, he held her arm and placed the pillow upright for her, allowing her to lean on it. Then, he said in a low voice, “I’m referring to the Miracle Doctor. After you took the chinese medicine, your illness only saw a temporary improvement. Your condition deteriorated so much today that you vomited blood. If I get rid of such a humiliation in the medical field, it would be for the better so that doctor cannot harm anyone else.”
After this incident, Noelle did not dare to take the risk of switching doctors. She would rather let the doctors of the President’s House carry out the current treatment.

  Looking at her mother, she said, “Mom, hiring the Miracle Doctor was my idea. I’m sorry that I caused your illness to worsen.”
Mrs. Hill knitted her brows together tightly. “Who said that my illness worsened?”
Upon hearing this, Joston and Noelle were slightly taken aback. They could navigate the political scene with ease and yet were too stunned to react for a moment.

  When Noelle regained her senses, she seemed rather lost. “Mom, you vomited blood after you took the medicine this morning. Didn’t your illness worsen?”
If her internal organs were not harmed, why would she vomit blood?

  The doctor standing beside them fixed his gaze on Mrs. Hill as he tightened his fists. Inexplicably, an ominous feeling started to overwhelm them.

  After hearing this, Mrs. Hill gazed at her husband and daughter. Rather defeated, she did not know what to say.

  After a long pause, she spoke seriously and calmly, “My illness did not worsen. After I vomited a mouthful of blood, my body became much lighter. All these years, my voice was always very hoarse when I spoke. My breathing was not smooth either. Can’t you guys tell from my voice that my condition has taken a turn for the better?”
Joston’s gaze shifted. They had not noticed it until now. However, they realized that her voice indeed sounded better. Did her condition really get better?

  Noelle thought for a second before asking cautiously, “Mom, then how do you feel now?”
“I’m fine. My body is not in pain.” Mrs. Hill’s voice sounded light and cheery. The joy of recovering from a long-term illness could be seen on her face.

  Joston said immediately, “In the past, you also didn’t feel any pain in your body when your illness wasn’t acting up.”
Seeing that her husband was doubtful of her, Mrs. Hill suppressed her anger and answered, “Do you think anyone would know my body better than myself?”
Noelle remained doubtful. “Then why did you faint?”
Mrs. Hill was clueless as well. She frowned and said, “You might have to ask the Miracle Doctor about this. Where is the Miracle Doctor?”
She looked at her husband and daughter as she asked for the Miracle Doctor.

  Something dawned on Noelle. She said anxiously, “Oh no. An An is about to nab the Miracle Doctor downstairs.”
She lifted her arm and checked the time. It was 10.05 a.m. The Miracle Doctor was scheduled to arrive at 10:00 am. sharp everyday. Everyone in the President’s House was fully aware of An An’s personality. Upon hearing about this, they froze on the spot.

  Just then, Sen Te’s phone rang.

  The phone call was very sudden, hence it attracted everyone’s attention.

  Sen Te took out his phone and saw a string of unidentifiable symbols. Thereafter, he turned towards Joston. “Sir, it is the Shadow League.”
Why would the Shadow League call him at this moment? Joston looked down and thought about it for a moment. Then he reached for the phone.

  Sen Te handed the phone over to him politely.

  He picked up the call and answered in a stable and reserved voice, “This is Joston.”
“Mr. President, if you do not have the intention to work with the Shadow League, we can end the collaboration one-sidedly.” The other party’s voice was distorted through a voice changing device. However, the coldness in the voice was clearly conveyed to him.

  Joston was stunned. “What is this supposed to mean?”
