Female Novel
Chapter 563
Though it was only eight in the morning, the venue was already packed with people.
The place was rowdy.
James arrived early. This time, he kept a low profile. He had instructed Newton to buy a seat that was
not too far back nor too near the front.
He took a seat and waited patiently. He was curious to see what Lucas Hamilton from Universal
Hospital and Jonathan Harris from Goryeo were up to.
At that moment, the emcee of the medical conference got on the stage.
She was a popular actress called Delilah Kimberly.
Wearing a red gown, her curvaceous figure was for all to see. With a mic in hand, she got on the stage.
Her melodious laugh echoed throughout the venue.
“How exhilarating! The medical conference hasn’t even started yet, and I’m excited about it already. I
have long dreamt of witnessing our fellow genius doctors of Sol gather and compete for the highest
honor in the medical world of Sol.”
“That’s right.”
A man in a suit walked out from backstage.
He was Kevin Mariano, a renowned emcee.
Kevin walked over to Delilah and looked at the crowd, “It’s a great honor to be able to witness a
competition between the most accomplished doctors of Sol. I wonder who will emerge victorious and
claim the title of Asclepius.”
At that moment, a staff walked over with a list and handed it to the emcees.
Delilah said smilingly, “After three days of fierce competition, we have here our top hundred doctors.”
She continued, “First place goes to…”
Upon seeing the name on the list, she momentarily froze before reading out loud, “Thea Callahan from
Century Hospital.”
The crowd burst into a peal of laughter.
Even some reporters could not refrain from laughing.novelbin
A glamorous woman was thrust into the spotlight.
It was Thea.
She did not want to embarrass herself by coming here.
However, after thinking hard about it, she came nonetheless.
James had spent a fortune to push her to the top of the rankings. She did not wish to disappoint him.
She knew she would be mocked if she came.
Nonetheless, she came.
James was arrested and would soon be convicted. Even if it was humiliating for her, she had to come
to show her gratitude to James.
She was thrust into the spotlight with countless cameras pointed at her.
Thea closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ‘James, we’re even now.’
Delilah smiled. “Please come onto the stage, Ms. Thea. Please share with us your thoughts on being
the first place in the qualifying match.”
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd and the cameras, Thea stood up and got onto the stage.
A staff handed her a mic.
Delilah said, “Your reputation precedes you, Ms. Thea. You’ve been described by the media as a once-
in-a-millennium beauty. Standing beside you gives me quite the pressure.”
Thea stood there awkwardly.
Kevin asked, “So, Ms. Thea, how do you feel about getting first place?”
Thea looked at the crowd.
The crowd near the front was all big shots. She could see the scornful expressions on their faces.
She felt her cheeks burning up.
Holding the mic, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t have any medical skills at all. As
the rumors say, I only got first place because my husband spent a fortune to push me up the rankings.”
She bowed deeply.
“I apologize for this.”
Saying that, she turned to leave the stage.
James, who was at the back of the venue, scratched his nose and murmured, “Looks like Thea’s rather
displeased with me. Although I don’t know what’s going to happen at this medical conference, I’ll have
to find a way to help her out.”
Saying that, he beckoned at Serena.
Newton said, “Any instructions?”
James whispered in her ear.
“Understood.”
Serena nodded. She then stood up and left her seat.
