Perfectly aligned, neither of them looked away.
Rosalind’s gaze, in particular, was clear and unabashed as she continued to study the man’s face.
As a connoisseur of good looks, Rosalind had seen her fair share of handsome men, but none of them… could compare to the one before her.
His face, a sickly-pale white, was perfectly complemented by a pair of deep, phoenix-like eyes, which gave him a natural air of coldness when he looked at people.
He also carried a scholarly aura, noble and fragile, a truly rare combination of traits.
The chaotic hospital environment seemed to have no effect on him.
He stood like a scion of an ancient, noble family, poised and elegant.
Rosalind watched as the portly Mr. Lee spotted the man and immediately scurried over, chattering excitedly.
Through the medical glass, Rosalind couldn’t hear their conversation, but she raised an eyebrow.
The next moment, the man looked her way again. The dim lights cast a halo around him, blurring his features, which only made him more inscrutably captivating.
“Cure-Master?” Warner’s voice was cool.
Mr. Lee was almost fawning with enthusiasm. “Yes! I found her at the community square. Don’t let her age fool you, sir. Her medical skills are divine. She broke Chairman Martinez’s fever in just ten minutes!”
Warner was about to ask something else, but Rosalind, finished with her treatment, pushed the door open and walked out. As she walked, she said to Dr. Lopez beside her, “Monitor the patient’s temperature for the next two days. No antibiotics are necessary. Just give him regular nebulizer treatments. I’ll write a prescription. You can have it filled. I’ll be back tomorrow at the same time to perform acupuncture again.”
Dr. Lopez was considered the most gifted young doctor in the Lopez family, but at this moment, he felt utterly mediocre.
Could it be that she was secretly an eighty-year-old scholar on the inside? How else could one explain her every move?
Warner stood on the periphery, watching the scene with a rare flicker of interest in his eyes.
Mr. Lopez, the dean, was already drenched in a cold sweat. He dabbed his forehead with a small handkerboss and timidly approached him, about to offer an explanation.
Warner had one hand in his pocket. He raised the other, pressing a long finger to his thin lips in a hushing gesture. His voice was low and cool, yet pleasant. “Don’t interrupt my lesson.”
You… you’re the titan of Prax, holding the financial fates of countless families in your hands. A stomp of your foot could make Sol’s entire business world collapse. A man of your immense wealth and power… is attending a lecture on acupuncture?!
Meanwhile, Rosalind, who was about to begin her lesson, paused. “I’m still missing a live subject for the demonstration.”
A live subject? Before Mr. Lopez could react, the young woman’s gaze fell past him… to Mr. Turner?!
