The guests couldn’t help but say enviously, "Chairman Hughes, you’re really fortunate to have t such a divine doctor, and what’s more, this doctor is your cousin!"
"Doctor Monroe, if our family ever needs anything in the future, please lend us your help!"
"Yes, Doctor Monroe, if you ever need assistance with anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!"
For a mont, everyone showed a respectful expression towards Sumr Monroe.
No one would go against a divine doctor; otherwise, it would be like going against their own life.
In response to the complints from those present, Sumr Monroe replied calmly, "Thank you all. In fact, I plan to open a traditional Chinese dicine hospital in the future. Once it’s open, you can co to for treatnt. Of course, it’s best if you don’t have to; I wish you all good health."
Sumr Monroe’s words left no discomfort among those present.
Although she was called a "divine doctor," given her age, no one found her words inappropriate.
"Miss Monroe is indeed well-mannered and cultured. If you need investnt or help with opening the hospital, please don’t hesitate to find us!"
"Although Miss Monroe grew up in the countryside, she has inherited the deanor of the forr director Luna Monroe. Truly, the younger generation surpasses the old!"
"Yes, speaking of which, your mother was once a figure in Crestfall who could make waves with a single step!"
Sumr Monroe smiled faintly without saying more.
So things need only be touched upon lightly.
However, as Coralie Hughes looked at Sumr Monroe, she only felt disgusted by her hypocrisy.
Yet now she couldn’t express any dissatisfaction towards Sumr Monroe, or she would only make everyone dislike her.
At this mont, Evan Hughes felt sufficiently rested; he adjusted his clothes and said, "I didn’t expect such a big event to happen today, disturbing everyone’s enjoynt of my daughter’s birthday banquet. I’ll have the servants prepare so tokens of appreciation; please continue to enjoy the banquet."
Originally, Evan Hughes wasn’t too enthused about the birthday banquet, but having recovered a life and been cured of his cardiovascular disease, he was in great spirits and determined to see the banquet through.
"Dad!" Coralie didn’t want to see Sumr Monroe anymore and hesitated to persuade him, "You’ve just woken up, your health isn’t fully restored, why not call off today’s birthday banquet?"
She didn’t want to see Sumr Monroe being flattered by her guests at her birthday banquet anymore.
However, Evan Hughes raised his eyebrows and said, "How can we call it off? I haven’t formally thanked everyone who helped today! From now on, this banquet is not just your birthday banquet but also my gratitude banquet."
As he spoke, he no longer listened to Coralie, inviting guests back to the hall and preparing to go upstairs to freshen up and change into clean clothes.
At this mont, Sumr Monroe caught Evan Hughes and reminded him, "Chairman Hughes..."
Evan Hughes interrupted her warmly, "Why still call Chairman? From now on, just call Uncle!"
Sumr Monroe didn’t refuse. Although the Hughes family didn’t have as high a status as the four great families, their reputation wasn’t low, especially since the Hughes family’s main business was producing and selling dical equipnt. She indeed needed Evan Hughes’ connections.
After calling out "Uncle" with a smile, Sumr Monroe broached the main matter, "Uncle, although your previous condition was difficult to treat, it wasn’t severe enough to directly cause a stroke. I arrived late and don’t know what happened. How did you suddenly faint?"
Evan Hughes, in his earlier joy, had montarily forgotten the reason for his illness.
Now that Sumr Monroe ntioned it, he finally rembered the girl in the black dress, and his expression imdiately darkened.
Beside him, Coralie’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Dad, don’t worry about these small matters now. Your clothes are stained with blood; you should go upstairs and clean up first. I’ll handle the other matters."
