Unveiling the True Heiress Chapter 15
Chapter 15 The Top Doctor
The room fell into a momentary silence after Meredith had spoken.
Meredith’s intuition informed her that the man before her was no longer the boy from years ago. He was afflicted with an illness, which gave him a violent temperament whenever the sickness struck, making him dangerous.
Thus, she did not want to clash with such a dangerous man until she avenged her foster parents. At the same time, she could not easily believe his goodwill.
“Fine, but you’re not allowed to pretend not to know me!” Zenon stepped forward and gently ruffled her hair. “You’ve grown up.”
Meredith had mixed feelings.
He did this often when she was little. He would gently ruffle her hair as she nestled into his embrace, calling her a little troublemaker. Back then, she always replied happily, I like Uncle Zen the most.”
“Uncle Zen!” Meredith turned away unhappily. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small black vial the size of a fingernail before offering it to Zenon. “If you feel like vomiting, don’t endure it. Once you’re done, take this. I’ll check on your condition over the weekend.”
A flicker of surprise flashed in Zenon’s eyes. He agreed to her deal to maintain contact with her and did not expect her to genuinely help treat his illness. It was because even the world’s most reputable and skilled doctors could not do anything about his condition.
He knew that Meredith had some medical knowledge. After all, she stopped his bleeding in time and saved his life when they were at the border.
Still, he did not expect her medical skills to be so profound that she could diagnose his condition from a glance.
Zenon accepted the medicine. He glanced at his watch and reminded her, “You should leave to take the entrance exam now. You can still make it for the second half.”
Meredith was astonished.
I almost forgot about this!
She immediately turned around and left.
Once she closed the door, Zenon immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. All the composure he had tried hard to maintain before her crumbled instantly.
His handsome face was pale and contrasted alarmingly with the bright red bloodstains at the corners of
his mouth.
“Zen!” Rufus came into the ward, bringing Quinton. The two immediately rushed over to support Zenon.
Zenon’s gaze darkened as he looked at the blood on his hands. He understood why Meredith was wary of the Stormborn family. After all, they were the ones who caused his illness.

Quinton saw the vial and wanted to look closer, but he could not get it from Zenon. He became anxious. “Zen where did you get the medicine? Are you secretly taking other medicine behind my back?”
Zenon rinsed his mouth with water and replied, “A girl gave it to me.”
Quinton was confused.
“The girl from just now?” Rufus suddenly realized something. “Wait! Don’t consume it!”
Zenon’s Adam’s apple trembled. He had already swallowed the medicine.
“Zen, how could you take medicine from her? Have you forgotten how you almost strangled her? Aren’t you afraid she might give you poison as retaliation?”
Rufus was so anxious that he wanted to pry open Zenon’s mouth and make him vomit the medicine. However, he did not dare, knowing he could not fight against Zenon.
Zenon answered. I’m not afraid.”
“On no, it’s over. Quinton, you must cure him quickly. He has lost his mind and all sense of precaution.”
After saying that. Rufus noticed Quinton was unusually silent and turned around to look at him. Quinton held the empty vial, looking at it closely. Then he sniffed it and even contemplated licking it. “Did you get infected by what he has?” Rufus slapped Quinton on the back, stopping him from continuing the nauseating action.
“Calm down, I smell Gastrodia elata and a few medicinal herbs I don’t recognize. It seems to be a medicine for headaches. Zen, how do you feel?” Quinton pushed up his thick glasses. looking at Zenon.
Zenon sat in a chair with his eyes closed. His rarely relaxed furrow smoothed out on his handsome face. At the same time, his expression was calm. It was as if an invisible force soothed his tense nerves, allowing him to relax and calm down.
Rufus and Quinton exchanged glances as they listened to Zenon’s even breathing.
Is he asleep? Rufus whispered.
Quinton nodded. The two tacitly understood what they should do and left the room quietly.
Their boss struggled with sleep disorders due to his illness. Unless they knocked him out, he couldn’t sit down and fall asleep so quickly. It meant Meredith’s medicine was effective.
Though relieved, Rufus felt they still needed a backup plan.
“Have you contacted Dr. Nameless?” he asked Quinton.
Dr. Nameless was the top doctor on Medical Elite Network, an international platform for medical exchanges. The website gathered the world’s renowned doctors and was recognized as an authoritative website in the medical field.
Zenon had been searching for the mysterious Dr. Nameless. The doctor specialized in holistic medicine.

However, no one has been able to trace Dr. Nameless whereabouts. Therefore, some people suspected that Dr. Nameless was not real, but a virtual figure fabricated by the website.
But Quinton believed this was not the case because he had befriended Dr. Nameless on the website. Despite having only interacted online. Dr. Nameless gave him many valuable advice, earning his
admiration.
“Not yet. Dr. Nameless rarely goes online. The last time we chatted was three months ago, and Dr. Nameless said they won’t be accepting consultations for some time,” Quinton replied.
We should find a solution soon. Zen’s condition seems to be worsening,” Rufus urged.
Quinton nodded. “I know:
