?Chapter 299:


    Sheri would likely be astounded if she witnessed Shelton’s current disy of humility. Shelton, the director whom Sheri deeply respected and looked up to, was now showing deference to Norah.


    Shelton had a keen eye for talent, and the Supernatural Doctor’s rising fame on the international stage hadn’t escaped his notice. He had been keeping tabs on her achievements from afar. When the news came that she had taken a step back from the international scene for two years, Shelton couldn’t help but fear the worst, wondering if misfortune had befallen her.


    Thus, he had always thought he might never cross paths with the Supernatural Doctor. However, when ab in this institute became involved in a mysterious acquisition, a glimmer of possibility emerged.


    Engaging in discussions about research hurdles and exploring solutions toplex issues with the Supernatural Doctor was something Shelton earnestly hoped for. But Sheri was simply not seeing the bigger picture. Had it not been for Sheri’s insulting words and actions, the tension between the Supernatural Doctor and the institute might not have escted.


    Norah epted the document with a graceful motion of her long fingers. “Let’s have this conversationter. I’ve got matters to attend to.”


    Norah understood that Sheri’s behavior did not reflect the stance of the entire institute.


    During her brief interaction with Shelton over the past two days, it was clear to Norah that hismitment to the institute’s endeavors was genuine, as he had approached her multiple times seeking assistance.


    With her attire changed and all preparations in ce, Norah turned her full attention to crafting the medicine. Today, she brought all the necessary herbs to theb, ready to weave them into the creation of the Rejuvenation Powder during her free moments.

    The Vitality Potion, a concoction she had yet to attempt, held immense value. She hardly expected sess on her first try. With the Rejuvenation Powder, it took numerous attempts before she perfected the form.


    Back at the institute, Sheri stewed in her office, her frustration mounting with each passing moment. The seemingck of courtesy from Norah gnawed at her. Even if Norah was an outsider, a simple acknowledgment after her position as the leader of all project teams was revealed should have been in order, right?


    Sure, Sheri’s position as head of the project teams might not match the director’s stature, but she felt that was no excuse for such disrespect from Norah. Moreover, Norah’s demand for an apology in front of the team tarnished Sheri’s reputation.


    Determined, Sheri marched to Shelton’s office, knocking before she entered. “Shelton, who is she exactly, and why do you show her such deference?”


    After closing the door, Sheri approached Shelton and, in a moment of frustration, sat on hisp, her displeasure evident. “I’ve been humiliated today.”


    “You had me apologize to her in front of everyone. Without a good exnation, I’ll stay upset!” Sheri eximed.


    Shelton’s expression turned grave as he motioned for her to get up. “Please, maintain professionalism within the institute.”


    “Why worry? It’s just us here,” Sheri countered, attempting to lighten the mood with a kiss on Shelton’s cheek. “Come on. Tell me about her.”


    Shelton took a moment to steady her. “Sheri, remember that veryb that’s been off-limits in our institute? Do you know who owns it?”


    Sheri, puzzled, shook her head. “No idea. I just knew we weren’t allowed to use it.”


    “It’s the Supernatural Doctor’s,” Shelton rified with emphasis.


    Sheri’s grip on Shelton’s neck ckened in shock. “The Supernatural Doctor? The one who’s a legend worldwide? The same doctor rumored to have unparalleled medical skills and who even treated the Queen?”


    “That’s right. It’s her. She agreed just yesterday to assist our institute with a challenging problem the project team has been facing. And today, when you confronted her with such hostility, I had no choice but to stand by her at that moment. I had to appease her.”


    The realization hit Sheri hard. The woman she had looked down on previously was precisely the Supernatural Doctor. Yet, Sheri refused to believe it, assuming that under the disguise of a hat and a mask, Norah could be an imposter.


    “Shelton, is there some mistake? Could she truly be the Supernatural Doctor?”
