X?
Yvonne was, of course, aware of the mysterious dical genius X who had once shocked the entire Aethelgard, but this X had never been revealed, and no one knew who he truly was.
"Annette, why are you suddenly asking to find X?" Yvonne asked.
Anabelle naming X was certainly for a reason.
In the morning, two nurses had finished changing her dressings and left, but stood outside whispering,
Miss Annette is so beautiful, she was the first beauty of Aethelgard, but now there’s a scar on her wrist, it’s such a pity.
Yes, now this scar will always follow her, like a perfect piece of artwork suddenly marred by a blemish.
Do you know any renowned doctor who can remove scars without a trace?
Let think, ah, I rember, it’s X!
X! Are you talking about that mysterious X?
Yes, X is actually Academician Qiu’s student. My family and Academician Qiu were old neighbors, and the year I got hit by a car, there was a huge scar on my leg. My mom went to beg Academician Qiu for help, and Academician Qiu asked X to prepare a redy for . After using it, not only did the scar completely disappear, but my skin beca new and refreshed.
No wonder your skin looks so good now, this X truly is remarkable.
Exactly, how about we tell Miss Annette about X?
No.
Why not?
Didn’t you see how cold and lonely it is here for Miss Annette? She and Aurora are both granddaughters of the Knight family, but Aurora is a legitimate granddaughter, while Miss Annette is an external granddaughter. That one word ’external’ ans she’s an outsider. I heard the Crawford family has agreed to the marriage, and now the entire Knight family is busy preparing for Zane Crawford and Aurora’s grand wedding, leaving Miss Annette completely forgotten. Young Master Knight hasn’t even visited the hospital, and Old Man Knight doesn’t co either. Their affection is all for Miss Aurora.
Indeed, looking at it this way, Miss Annette truly is pitiful.
Shh, let’s not gossip anymore. Less talk, fewer troubles. Let’s just leave.
Although the two nurses had walked away, Anabelle heard their conversation clearly and morized X.
"Mommy, I don’t care; I just want this X!" Anabelle said willfully.
Yvonne’s voice lowered, "Annette, don’t be headstrong. How am I supposed to find this mysterious X for you?"
Anabelle instantly pouted in grievance, "Mommy, you don’t love anymore. You’ve all made slit my wrists, so I did. But now Serena Sterling has disappeared, leaving with such a hideous scar. How will I ever wear dresses? Everyone will point and whisper at !"
"But..." Seeing her biological daughter so aggrieved, Yvonne’s heart softened.
"Mommy, isn’t X Academician Qiu’s student? Just call Academician Qiu, and he’ll surely agree to have X help ."
Yvonne hesitated, "Academician Qiu and your grandpa are old enemies. If I went to him and your grandpa found out, your grandpa would definitely be angry."
Speaking of grandpa, Anabelle quickly clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms without feeling any pain.
Although she and Aurora were sisters, they had always secretly competed with each other since childhood. For these years, Anabelle had completely overshadowed Aurora, being revered as Aethelgard’s foremost beauty and a wealthy heiress with all the glory and honor showered upon her.
But now she was utterly unhappy, while Aurora thrived, basking in the spotlight, leaving Anabelle deeply unsettled.
The crucial point is that grandpa and brother Felix have favorites.
They’re helping Aurora, making her marry Zane Crawford.
They helped her, making her slit her wrists. Now Serena Sterling is nowhere to be found.
Anabelle was full of grievance, "Mommy, why aren’t grandpa and brother Felix visiting in the hospital?"
"The Crawford family agreed to the marriage because the wedding date is near, so your grandpa is preoccupied with preparing the wedding, letting Aurora have a grand wedding..."
Before Yvonne could finish, Anabelle threw a pillow onto the ground. It turns out the nurses’ words were true; grandpa and brother Felix are indeed biased!
"Annette, what’s wrong?"
"Mommy, if grandpa would be angry, then don’t tell him. Mommy, don’t you think grandpa and brother Felix’s hearts have all turned towards Aurora? They’re completely ignoring !" Anabelle bit her red lip; her eyes were turning red.
Yvonne deeply cared for her daughter and quickly embraced Anabelle, "Silly girl, why would you think that way? We all love you, stop crying."
Anabelle’s resentnt was imnse, "Mommy, then help find X; I want X to remove my scar!"
"Alright, alright, mommy promises you." Yvonne could only agree.
...
Anabelle ate a little and took a nap. Then the door to the ward opened, and Yvonne entered joyfully, "Annette, I’ve got good news for you, Academician Qiu agreed, X is here, just outside the door now!"
What?
Anabelle was hit with this huge wave of good news and quickly sat up; X had co so quickly?
Anabelle couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride; this X was incredibly mysterious, but once mommy reached out, X ca imdiately, greatly satisfying her vanity.
"Mommy, have X co in quickly; I can’t wait to et him!" Anabelle urged.
"Prof. X, please co in."
At that mont, a figure walked in from the doorway; this mysterious X finally appeared, and X was a... man!
X had a head of neatly cropped short hair, his face wasn’t handso, quite ordinary actually, but his deanor was impeccably clean and transcendent.
It was Anabelle’s first ti seeing X; she had thought X was a woman, but it turned out to be a man!
"Prof. X, hello, my daughter’s wrist has a scar. Are you confident in removing it without a trace?" Yvonne asked directly.
Prof. X stepped forward and glanced at the scar on Anabelle’s wrist, then spoke, "The wound isn’t deep; I’m confident."
Anabelle’s eyes glead; as long as the scar was gone, she’d be Aethelgard’s foremost beauty again, and Aurora wouldn’t be able to compete with her, wouldn’t be able to vie for affection, "Prof. X, how long do you need to remove the scar?"
Prof. X looked up and t Anabelle’s gaze, "Just five days."
Five days?
This ant she’d have the scar removed just in ti before Zane Crawford and Aurora’s wedding?
That was fantastic!
Yvonne couldn’t help but be amazed by X’s dical prowess; to remove a scar without a trace in just five days was sothing not even the Knight family could accomplish.
"Prof. X, may I ask your surna?" Yvonne inquired.
Since they didn’t know X’s surna, they continued to refer to him as Prof. X, also known as Professor X.
