?Chapter 86:


    Ferris, observing the naive expression on Landen’s face, couldn’t help but smile as he confirmed, “Yes, it’s true, Mr. Nash.”


    After a brief pause, Landen lifted Marissa up with exuberance and spun around twice, his voice booming, “Did you hear that, Tiffany? Dr. Riss epted me as her disciple!” The intensity of his cheer dislodged dust from the ceiling


    Marissa rubbed her ears and cautioned him, “Yes, I heard it. Please tone it down a bit.”


    Landen’sughter filled the hall. He then faced Ferris, his expression earnest. “Thank you, Dr. Frazier. Could you please let Dr. Riss know how grateful I am for this incredible opportunity? I promise to dedicate myself fully and not disappoint her.”


    Ferris nodded in response. “I’ll certainly pass your message along, but don’t forget, you can tell her yourself when you meet.”


    “Please tell her first. I’ll also express my gratitude when I meet her,” Landen replied, his smile radiant. Silence lingered briefly before Landen drew Marissa closer and inquired, “Dr. Frazier, may I bring my cousin along when I start studying medicine from my mentor?”


    Ferris nced at Marissa, hesitating as he awaited a cue. Thinking he had put Ferris in a difficult situation, Landen quickly reassured him, “Dr. Frazier, there’s no need to worry. I’ll ensure she doesn’t cause any trouble for Dr. Riss. She’s my Uncle Brian’s daughter, and I’m hopeful she too can carve out a sessful path in medicine.”


    Catching Marissa’s secretive wink, Ferris grasped her intent and agreed. “Certainly. Dr. Riss holds Dr. Brian Nash in high regard, so she would naturally wee his daughter.”


    Landen’s excitement was palpable. “That’s wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Frazier!” After expressing his gratitude, he turned to Marissa, his voice low and earnest. “I’ve worked hard to secure this chance for you to learn from the esteemed Dr. Riss. Make sure you’remitted and ready to learn, understood?”


    With an amused nce at the ceiling, Marissa affirmed, “Absolutely, I will!”


    Landen thus became Dr. Riss’ personal disciple, and Marissa, her outer disciple. Bing an outer disciple was also a coveted achievement. An outer disciple who excelled and gained her approval might also ascend to the rank of personal disciple


    Everyone present wished they had been close friends with Landen before, so they could now also have a chance to be near Dr. Riss. Unfortunately, no one had paid much attention to Landen in the past. Suddenly, with two Nash family members under Dr. Riss’ mentorship, a revival of Brian’s illustrious medical legacy seemed imminent. They were on track to bing prominent figures in the medicalmunity of Biebert


    Everyone was taken aback and filled with envy. The very people who had earlier scorned the Nash family now found themselves at a loss on how to curry favor. The other Nash family members were equally astonished. It was hard to believe that the two who were once considered the least promising in their family had suddenly be the luminaries of the n


    As the shock wore off, their excitement left them speechless. Balthasar, full of self-reproach,mented his shortsightedness for nearly overlooking two remarkable talents and allowing A to embarrass them all


    Regret washed over him as he looked at Rex with disdain and snapped, “Loser!” He hadn’t expected Rex to achieve greatness, only that he would maintain the legacy left by Brian. But even that seemed too much, as the legacy was nearly ruined by his wife and daughter. If he couldn’t manage two women, how could he lead the entire family?


    Rex, feeling the weight of his failures, responded humbly, “Dad, since Landen has been chosen by Dr. Riss, he must have talent. I’m willing to step down so he can be the head of the family.”


    Before Balthasar could react, Sansa cut in sharply, “No way!”


    “I don’t agree!” A echoed, her voice booming
