The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 110

Mandy's eyes popped wide open, disbelief etching every feature of her face as her speech stumbled over itself in shock. "How... How could that be? Her medicine... I even went to the trouble of showing it to a doctor, and he said that the medication was..."

Her words were abruptly cut short by another interjection from Dr. Ray. "Which doctor did you consult? Someone from our hospital? If it was one of our doctors, I’d have him escorted out immediately! Or do you think I am just a figurehead without any knowledge of pharmacology?"

Dr. Ray shook his head, clearly exasperated. Talking to some people didn't just reveal their emotional intelligence, but it laid bare their intellect as well. Some folks seemed sharp, but they left much to be desired in certain areas.

Mandy's face flickered between shades of pale and flushed as she battled with embarrassment, especially stung by Dr. Ray’s last two sentences, which were a clear jab at her.

Mandy’s mouth opened and closed, as she hesisted to reply. She knew she was in the wrong, lowered her voice, and awkwardly tried to explain, "Dr. Ray, you’ve got it all wrong. I didn't mean that... It's just... my foster daughter is clueless about these things. She grew up in the sticks, so how could she possibly source quality medication for my mother?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Ray's lips twitched into a smirk, but he held his tongue and strode out of the room. Dr. Erik merely gave Mandy a cryptic smile before following Dr. Ray out.

A person in possession of such precious medicine couldn't possibly be a simple country bumpkin. Even if she didn't know much, acquiring such a drug was no small feat.

Watching the direction in which Dr. Ray and Dr. Erik departed, Mandy's expression was a mix of ugly and awkward. She stood there, feeling like a clown, ridiculous and pitiful.

After a moment of reflection on Dr. Ray's words, Mandy suddenly turned her glare onto Mirabella, her words laced with spite. "You must be quite pleased, seeing me make a fool of myself in front of Dr. Ray, aren't you? Satisfied now?"
