The housekeeper nodded, Very well. Ill invite Miss Thompson in right away.

Madam Knight looked at Aurora Scouts, Aurora, go get my real silk cheongsam.

Alright.

Thinking for a moment, Madam Knight continued, Get the one from Phoebe

Pavilion.

Phoebe Pavilion is a shop that specializes in handmade cheongsams.

The shop owner is a skilled embroidery artist and has even won the title of

International Master of Arts and Crafts.

Not only are the Phoebe Pavilions cheongsams expensive, but they also only accept three orders a year.

Thus, wearing a cheongsam made by Phoebe Pavilion is a symbol of status and power.

Many people come to admire its reputation.

It was only through Madam Knights connections that she managed to obtain such a cheongsam, which she only wears at important events.

Aurora Scouts laughed, Mom, do we really need to dress so formally?

If she can cure Fionas face, then she is my benefactor! Madam Knight said, Of course, we should dress up to meet such a person.

Fiona Knight is the only descendant of the Knight Family and the apple of Mrs. Knights eye.

Watching Fiona become more and more self-conscious about her appearance was more painful than having her own flesh cut off.

Alright. Aurora Scouts nodded and quickly fetched the cheongsam.

The cheongsam was bright red.

The carefully embroidered hibiscus flowers were lifelike.

As expected from a masterpiece, the cheongsam made Madam Knight look graceful and dignified, timeless beauty.

After changing into the cheongsam, Aurora Scouts helped Madam Knight downstairs.

Meanwhile, the Housekeeper was leading Elizabeth Thompson towards the main hall.

Through long corridors and a few-acre garden, every design was created by a master, leaving one in awe.

After walking for about ten minutes, they still hadnt reached the main hall.

Coming from a wealthy family herself, Emma was well-experienced, but she couldnt help being amazed while walking in the Knights garden.

No wonder the Knight Family was the leader of the eight great aristocratic families.

This wealth was truly unrivaled in River City!

Ten minutes later.

The Housekeeper brought Elizabeth Thompson to the main hall.

Hearing footsteps outside, Aurora Scouts went out immediately, Miss Thompson.

Elizabeth Thompson smiled, Mrs. Knight.

Please come in. Aurora Scouts gestured with a welcoming motion.

Emma stepped forward.

Aurora walked behind her.

Arriving at the main hall, Aurora Scouts introduced, Mother, this is Miss Thompson.

Madam Knight looked over.

The guest was around seventeen or eighteen years old with a striking appearance, a curvy figure, and a scholarly aura radiating from her as she carried a medical box.

Truly worthy of being called the number-one talented woman.

Seeing Madam Knight in the main seat, Elizabeth Thompson was slightly taken aback.

She hadnt expected Madam Knight herself to receive her personally.

Madam Knight was quite a hero among women.

Having lost her husband early and her son later in life, most people would have given in under such continuous blows.

Yet, Madam Knight managed to single-handedly support the Knight Family and establish it as the leader of the eight great aristocratic families in River City!

Elizabeth Thompson straightened her chest, looked at Madam Knight, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, Madam Knight, I am Elizabeth Thompson.

Madam Knight nodded and smiled, I have heard of Miss Thompsons esteemed reputation as the number-one talented woman, and indeed, seeing is believing.

You flatter me, Elizabeth Thompson replied, Im just a little more hardworking than most people.

Believing she excelled because she worked hard. Madam Knight then ordered tea, Miss Thompson, please have a seat. Elizabeth Thompson bowed slightly and sat down.

May I ask how many years Miss Thompson has been studying medicine? Madam Knight continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth Thompson furrowed her brows imperceptibly.

Was Madam Knight questioning her medical skills?

They had invited her to treat Fiona Knight, but now they were questioning her medical skills, what did this mean?

Insulting her?

As a talented woman and descendant of the Divine Doctor, Elizabeth

Thompson had her own pride. She immediately stood up from her chair, Madam Knight, I know Im young, and thats probably why you look down on me. In that case, you should find someone else whos more capable!

Elizabeth Thompson was thoroughly disgusted.

What was wrong with being young?

Just because she was young, did Madam Knight have the right to deny her excellence?

How could Madam Knight have imagined that just by casually asking about

Elizabeth Thompsons years of medical experience, she would get so agitated.

Fortunately, Aurora Scouts spoke up in time, Miss Thompson, youve misunderstood! My mother didnt mean to question you. She was just amazed by your talent. You are so young and yet so skilled in medicine; you will undoubtedly accomplish great things in the future.

At this point, Aurora paused and continued, If youre willing to treat my daughter, it would be an honor for our entire Knight Family. Mother, isnt that right?

Madam Knight also reacted at this moment and immediately apologized with a smile, Yes, yes, Aurora is right. Miss Thompson, Im old and not as nimble-minded as you young people. I apologize here, and hope you wont be bothered by someone like me whos halfway into the grave.

As long as Elizabeth Thompson could restore Fionas appearance, what would it matter to apologize with a smile?

Seeing both Aurora and Madam Knight bowing their heads and apologizing continuously, Elizabeth Thompsons vanity was instantly filled.

Aurora was the Mistress of the Knight Family, and Madam Knight was a

heroine in the eyes of outsiders.

These two proud and dignified people were still being trampled under her feet, werent they?

Since the two of them were so calculating in their apologies, she wouldnt be the kind of person to fuss over every single detail.

Elizabeth Thompson continued, Madam Knight, I hope you understand that age is not the standard by which to measure capability.

Youre right, Madam Knight continued to apologize with a smile.

Elizabeth Thompson didnt dwell on the issue any longer and said, Take me to see Miss Knight.

Aurora said, Miss Thompson, please follow me.bender

Elizabeth Thompson nodded and followed Auroras footsteps.

Aurora supported Madam Knight, and the three of them walked together towards Fionas room.

It didnt take long for them to reach Fionas room.

Fiona, Aurora reached out and knocked on the door, Miss Thompson is

here.

Quickly, the door opened.

Despite being at home, Fiona was still wearing a mask, Miss Thompson.

Elizabeth Thompson nodded, stepped into the room, and set down her medical box, Ill apply some medicine on Miss Knights face first. This medicine has a corrosive effect, so it will be very painful at night. If you cant bear it, take some painkillers.

Will taking painkillers affect the treatments effectiveness? Fiona asked.

Elizabeth Thompson replied, It will definitely have an impact.

Then I wont take any.

Madam Knight felt very distressed for Fiona and said, Miss Thompson, I heard that there are painkillers that dont affect the treatments effectiveness when taken.

Elizabeth Thompson frowned slightly, Do you think youre the doctor or am I? If there were such a medicine, wouldnt I have brought it out?

How ridiculous.

Mrs. Knight immediately apologized, Miss Thompson, I didnt mean that. Elizabeth Thompson couldnt be bothered to say more to Madam Knight.

After applying the medicine to Fionas face, Elizabeth Thompson took out a prescription and handed it to Aurora, Mrs. Knight, get the medicine according to the prescription. Drink it three times a day. Ill come back the day after tomorrow to change Miss Knights medicine.

Alright, thank you, Miss Thompson. Aurora took the prescription with both hands.

Elizabeth Thompson continued, Then I should leave now.

Aurora and Madam Knight personally escorted Elizabeth Thompson to the door.

Watching Elizabeth Thompsons retreating figure, Aurora frowned slightly, This Miss Thompson is different from what my classmate described. She is too arrogant.

Thinking of Elizabeth Thompsons attitude towards Madam Knight, Aurora felt uncomfortable.

Madam Knight sighed, As long as she has real skills and can heal Fiona, it doesnt matter how she treats me.

Half an hour later.

Elizabeth Thompson returned to the Thompson Clan.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she saw Viola Thompson carrying a medical box upstairs.

Watching Violas retreating figure, Elizabeth Thompson frowned slightly,

Mom, does my sister also know medicine?

Olga snorted coldly, a sarcastic expression in her eyes, What does she know about medicine? She probably saw that you have medical skills and decided to mimic you by carrying a medical box, trying to pull off a crude imitation.. She doesnt even find it embarrassing!
