?Chapter 91:
The longer she hesitated, the more her temples throbbed. After a brief pause to collect herself, she finally sent a message: “Can you help me get a bed at the Primary Healthcare Center?”
The reply came almost instantly. “Oh, so that’s it? You only remember me when you need an errand boy, huh?”
Smiling faintly at the screen, Maia responded, “I’ll make it up to you. Dinner’s on me. I’ll even cook.”
The mood flipped in an instant. A flood of cheerful emojis came through. “For real?! No problem! I’ll get you a bed, no worries!”
Later that evening, social media exploded with a new trending topic: “Top Doctor from Drakmire Scheduled to Visit Primary Healthcare Center — Over a Hundred Appointments Gone in Seconds.”
Thement section was a mess of excitement and envy.
“Elvira Cullen’sing to Wront? Finally, some hope for my old man’s illness!”
“Don’t get your hopes too high. Even if you throw money at it, you won’tnd an appointment. People line up six months in advance just to see her.”
“I met Dr. Cullen a few years back. She’s not just brilliant; she’s absolutely gorgeous. I used to dream of setting her up with my son… but let’s be real, my kid’s not even in her league.”
“I heard she has an older brother too. If she’s that stunning, imagine what he looks like. Someone, dig up his info already!”
“Her older brother is a bit mysterious. In the past, some hackers tried to dig into his background, but not only did theye up empty, they ended up crashing their own systems. It rattled them so badly.”
“And about the Cullen family… they were nobodies in Drakmire. Who would’ve guessed they’d raise such a prodigy? Dr. Cullen’s already holding a PhD in medicine at her age. Two years ago, on the streets of Drakmire, a critically injured patient copsed from abdominal bleeding. He was barely clinging to life when Dr. Cullen happened to pass by and saved him. She carried out an extraordinary surgery right then and there.”
There on the pavement, the story exploded online, sending shockwaves across the nation:
“Hold up! A friend of mine was actually there that day. He swears there was another woman in a mask helping with the surgery, but the news never mentioned her. It’s like she vanished into thin air.”
“That’s all just gossip. If there really was someone else, with so many people watching, there would’ve been pictures all over the inte. But not a single shot showed up.”
Maiazily scrolled through the endlessments and then closed the page with a flick of her fingers. There was nothing new about Elvira’s story that she hadn’t already heard.
As for Elvira’s mysterious brother? The mention of him made Maia’s temples throb.
In her room, Maia flipped open her newly assembledptop. It wasn’t fancy on the outside, but once it powered on, it was a whole different story.
After a few rapid keystrokes, a hidden program surfaced, and the screen disyed the precise data she had requested.
Marvelous Garden.
It looked like the perfect ce to move Kathie and Ethan.
Without hesitating, Maia picked up her phone and dialed the sales office. A tired voice answered on the other end, t and mechanical. “Hello, Marvelous Garden Sales Office. How can I help you?”
“I’m looking to buy a house.”
“Have you visited the property yet?”
