Chapter 1323
'Who is she to look down on me? What qualifications does she have for her to do that? However lousy I
am, I should be able to stand tall in her presence regarding herbal medicine, shouldn't I?'
Thus, Austin straightened his back. 'You have a problem with that?"
Lily chuckled coldly, having nothing to say.
'You...” Austin flared up when he noticed her attitude toward him. His face grew stiff, and he forgot he
had decided to have a friendly conversation with her on the way here.
He wanted to ask about the data at the laboratory. No matter what, Lily had stayed longer than him in
the laboratory and knew much more about the experiment than him. He thought he could get inspired
from the past data and avoid going in the wrong direction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Austin did not expect Lily to infuriate him by saying so little and make him lose his cool. He
said mockingly despite himself, "It seems like Mrs. Russell does not trust me and perhaps knows a
better candidate. In that case, I'll get out of your way."
He turned to leave.
However, Maria held him back, not wanting him to leave. "Mr. Fike, you can't leave! You promised to
treat Tasia!"
She hurriedly turned to Lily. "Mrs. Russell, perhaps you do not know much about Anastasia's condition
and who Mr. Fike is. As Dominic Fike's last apprentice and a famed miracle doctor in our country, he
can cure anything.
"Also, he's so sought-after that one can hardly meet with him. It took me great effort to hire him to treat
Tasia, so please don't talk nonsense and make her lose her chance to get better!"
The more Lily listened, the more she found it ridiculous. "Oh, so you're Dominic Fike’s secret
apprentice. Excuse me for not showing you the respect you deserve."
Austin was speechless, and his face grew stiffer.
'It's a compliment when others say that, but when Lily says it... She knows full well who the secret
apprentice is. It's fine if she doesn't tell me who the person is, but how can she tease me?'
"Mrs. Moore, since I’m not welcome here and this is the right place to conduct treatment, I’m afraid Ms.
Rollins has to see me some other day." He looked away and said coldly.
Maria was puzzled.
'Didn't Mrs. Russell pay him a compliment just now? Why is he still upset? It’s indeed tough to predict
how great minds think!’
"Mr. Fike, please don't get upset!" Maria said apologetically. "Tasia, why don't we go home first? Go
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhome and let Mr. Fike examine you properly."
Anastasia was still puzzled about the situation. She did not know anything about Austin except what
her aunt had said in a hurry just now.
All these years, Anastasia had grown numb from seeing too many "miracle doctors” and did not
particularly look forward to getting Mr. Fike's treatment.
On the other hand, Lily had brought Anastasia joy that she had not felt for many years with a piece of
blueberry mousse and a simple lunch.
'Since Lily is on bad terms with this so-called miracle doctor, I should side with her.' She bit her lower lip
and shook her head. "I don't need a miracle doctor. I’d like to stay at Lily's house for a bit longer."
Austin and Maria were stunned.
Austin was too ashamed to stay any longer and snorted. "It looks like I'm not needed at all."
