Chapter 62 Crushing Defeat
“Moreover, this woman berated me for being incompetent, saying that Lund fellow saved her daughter’s life instead. Isn’t she implying that my medical skills, trained under the famous Dr. Duncan Rodriguez, are inferior to a young lad barely in his twenties? Can you guys believe that? So, who else could they be, if not actresses?”
Lincoln let out a bellow before assuming a look of utter heartbreak as he continued, “I may not care about the rumors tarnishing my reputation. After all, I have never given much importance to fame. However, what truly breaks my heart is to see such a young girl manipulated by these ill- intentioned people. Doesn’t this pain their conscience?”
His words rang with a righteous fury, captivating the crowd and igniting their collective anger.
Suddenly, insults started pouring in from all directions, not just toward Caylic and Emrys, but also the woman who had accused Lincoln of being an incompetent doctor.
“A vile woman indeed, even exploiting your own daughter! How much were you paid by Apricot Hall?”
“You are unfit to be a mother.”
“All from Apricot Hall, may you perish!”
The woman had not anticipated such an attack of words simply for standing up for what was right. She felt completely disheartened.
She had once been a loyal supporter of Lincoln, but ever since he misdiagnosed her daughter’s condition, she had lost all faith in the man.
Back then, she had just lost faith in the man’s medical skills.
However, it was not until today that the woman realized just how despicable Lincoln truly was. Not only were his medical skills questionable, but he also lacked basic moral integrity.
How can such a person be a doctor?
The woman, unable to defend herself, could only cover her daughter’s ears to shield her from the foul language.
Meanwhile, the fire in Emrys‘ eyes raged on.
The scene before him seemed all too familiar.
Back then at Cordelia Group, another clueless crowd was swayed by a few manipulative words and hurled abuses and slurs at him.
Is it so easy to fool the citizens of Chanaea?

A wave of despair washed over Emrys as he thought about the brave soldiers defending the borders, risking their lives against external enemies, only to be helpless against the verbal assault of these ignorant people.
How tragic!
“Mr. Faraday, isn’t today the grand opening of your Four Pillars Hall? Why does the crowd seem so agitated?”
A deep voice suddenly echoed from beyond the throng,
The noise of the crowd faltered, faces turning toward the source of the interruption. A collective shudder passed through them.
It was none other than the director of Jadeborough General Hospital, Frederick Duster.
Has he come to celebrate the inauguration of Four Pillars Hall?
Lincoln hurried to greet him. “Mr. Duster, I’m immensely grateful for your support. We’ve had a minor hiccup here, but it’s been taken care of.”
“As long as it’s handled,” Frederick replied. He nodded and spared Emrys and the others a glance before entering Four Pillars Hall.
Before long, a flurry of figures arrived.
Astonishingly, each and every one of them was a department head or higher from various prominent hospitals.
The murmuring of the crowd grew.
The gathering of these prominent figures in the medical field was set to be an extraordinary medical extravaganza that would undoubtedly make waves in Jadeborough.
The arrival of the next notable figure sent the crowd into an unprecedented uproar.
It was the chief of the Jadeborough Department of Health, Sam Youngblood.
He strolled forward confidently, a spring in his step and a radiant smile on his face. It was as if his every action declared that his fellow student had opened this traditional medicine clinic and was undoubtedly trustworthy, encouraging everyone to come here for their healthcare needs.
One could only imagine the fervor coursing through the hearts of the people among the crowd.
There was no doubting the power of the most famous doctor in the country and Lincoln’s extremely well–connected social circle.
In stark contrast, Apricot Hall across the street seemed inconceivably insignificant.
All colors drained from Caylie’s face. Each time a new VIP arrived, her heart pounded violently.

She had foreseen that Lincoln would attempt to overshadow her on this day. However, she had not expected the extent to which he would go, offering her not even a sliver of survival chance.
