?Chapter 939:


    After several moments of heavy silence, Davin finally spoke with careful restraint. “You mentioned having a specific task for me, something involving Elliana. What exactly do you need me to do?”


    The fierce ambition in Maxine’s eyes gradually cooled back to her usual calcting calm. She reached into an ornate box beside her chair and withdrew the Medical Codex itself. “I want you to hand this to Elliana.”


    Davin couldn’t hide his shock. “But she hasn’t sworn loyalty to the Griffiths family yet. Why would you hand over something so precious?”


    A meaningful smile curved Maxine’s lips beneath her veil. “Elliana has already mastered everything in this book. She has no real reason to be at Ublento Medical University except to reim this specific book. So I’ll simply give her what she’s after. Then we’ll see exactly what she does when she has what she came for.” She leaned back in her chair with satisfaction. “She is my chosen heir, after all. The Medical Codex will belong to her eventually anyway. I’m simply moving up the schedule.”


    Understanding began to dawn on Davin. “And how should I approach her? What story do I tell?”


    “You’ll present yourself as Rita’s former student,” Maxine exined, her smile bing more mysterious. “Dobbs was once Rita’s patient, and Rita’s sessful treatment earned his eternal gratitude and loyalty. Back when Rita left Ublento behind, she entrusted Dobbs with all the Jones Pharmaceuticals research and forms. For fifteen long years, he’s honored that trust without question. Elliana has a weakness for that kind of unwavering loyalty. Model yourself after Dobbs, Davin. Use this story to earn her trust and then guide her carefully into the web I’ve been weaving around her.”


    Davin finally grasped Maxine’s n. With both hands, he received the Medical Codex as if it were sacred.


    Maxine’s eyes fixed sharply on his, her voice cold and firm. “Elliana is clever—too clever. You cannot make a single mistake. Report to me first and wait for my approval before acting. This time, I will shape Elliana into what I need. There will be no second Rita.”

    “Yes, Ms. Griffiths.” Davin acknowledged the order and took his leave.


    Elliana, meanwhile, had no clue she had just be Maxine’s new target. After finishing her call with Milton, she set out for Ublento Medical University as nned.


    Now that she knew Davin—the founder of the Enlightenment Institute—was the man her mother had contacted all those years ago, she realized there was nothing left for her at Ublento Medical University. Her goal was clear. She had to earn her ce at the Enlightenment Institute. The surest pathy in the Enlightenment Institute’s yearly talent exam.


    Hailed as the supreme temple of medicine in Ublento, the Enlightenment Institute held this exam once a year, opening its doors to students from the university and aplished medical professionals alike.


    This year’s exam was only a week away, and registration was still open. Without hesitation, Elliana decided to apply.


    As an affiliate, Ublento Medical University was tasked with organizing the exam. A special registration desk had been set up on campus to handle applications from both students and outside professionals.


    Elliana rode into the university, parked her motorcycle, and made her way straight for the registration site on the first floor of the library.


    When she arrived, a long line of hopeful candidates stretched across the hall.


    Each year, hundreds signed up, but only a select few were chosen. Most came simply for the experience, knowing the Enlightenment Institute only epted the best of the best.


    Elliana found the end of the line and took her ce, settling in for the wait. As her gaze drifted toward the front, she did a double-take. The professor overseeing the entire process was none other than Murray. What a twist of fate—running into her old nemesis here. Had she enrolled at Ublento Medical University as Elliana, Murray would have made her life miserable. But as Lh, she was nothing more than a stranger to him. He had no reason to trouble her now.<fn8dfe> This update is avable on fι?dnοvel</fn8dfe>
