The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 That Was Just A Joke

The rest of the Mitchell family shared the same sentiment. The seasoned doctors in the room also agreed. With years of medical expertise behind them, they had exhausted every possible treatment for Vincent’s condition without success. The idea that a woman barely in her twenties could surpass their skills and achieve what they couldn’t was simply inconceivable.

To be honest, they didn’t believe Brenna was that skilled at all.

Lindsay approached Emmett with confidence. “Everyone, those people earlier were family members of Dr. Harper, so naturally, they knew her well. Whether she actually has any medical expertise is still a question that needs answering. These days, very few young women dedicate themselves to serious study. We can’t afford to gamble with Mr. Mitchell’s health. Fortunately, I’ve called in a few friends who are experts in the medical field. Once they arrive, they will see Dr. Harper’s skills, and we’ll have the truth about her credibility,”

She lifted her chin, glancing at Brenna with open disdain. “Dr. Harper–or should I say, Miss Harper–if you’re simply putting on an act, 1 suggest you come clean now. Given your age, we might chalk it up to youthful ignorance and let the matter slide. But if the experts expose you as a fraud, things won’t end well for you. We “may have to involve the authorities, and the consequences could be severe.”

Standing nearby, Landen said with an air of intimidation, “Mr. Mitchell is a decorated war hero, not someone you can experiment on. Miss Harper, if I were you, I’d confess now before you anger the Mitchell family. Because if you do, no one will be able to protect you.”

Brenna rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. “So, none of you trust me, huh?”

She turned to Ethan and casually said, “Is there anyone else in your family who’s unwell? Let me assess their

“condition, and you’ll see my capability for yourselves.”

Ethan shot a disapproving glance at the doctors. Their skepticism was nothing more than thinly veiled jealousy. Because they couldn’t cure his grandfather, they assumed no one else could, either.

He looked at his father and said, “Dad, I trust Dr. Harper. Why don’t we let her examine you? It wouldn’t hurt to see if she can help improve your health.”

Emmett exchanged looks with his brothers, and after a brief hesitation, they all nodded in agreement.

The group moved to the outer living room, where Emmett took a seat on a single sofa, resting his arm on the armrest. Brenna settled onto the adjacent sofa, calmly positioning herself to examine Emmett’s health condition.

Emmett’s posture was straight, the ingrained discipline of a soldier evident in his posture

The doctors present looked on with barely concealed amusement as if waiting for Brenna to embarrass herself. She first checked the pulse on Emmett’s left wrist before moving to his right, her expression unreadable as she remained silent for a long moment after examining him.

Chapter 26

Seeing this, Landen scoffed, “Miss Itarper, we’ve been waiting, Ive you figured anything out yes? if you’re just

to putting on an act here, you should stop now before you make a food of yourself be upfront with you u Emmett Mitchell underwent a full medical examination past yesterday If you can accurately dagrose his condition, I’ll drop to my knees and apologize to you

Lindsay folded her arms and smirked. “I do the same. Forget about treating Mr. Vincent Mitchell- you can even diagnose Mr. Emmett Mitchell’s condition, I’ll also kneel and apologiango yo

Brenna’s lips curled into a slight smile she said to Emmett, “Your overall health is good.”

The doctors burst into laughter upon hearing that.

Landen pointed at Brenna and mocked, “I told you she was a fraud! See? She really doesn’t know what she is doing

The Mitchell family exchanged disappointed looks, all except Ethan, who watched Brenna closely. He noticed that she wasn’t rattled at all. Instead, she calmly pulled out her phone and swiftly typed out a few messages. Before the laughter could die down, Ethan raised his hand. “Let’s not jump to conclusions. Dr. Harper hasn’t finished speaking yet,” he said.

Landen let out a snort. “Fine, we’ll give the young woman a chance. Let’s hear what you have to say, Miss Harper. We even have the test results right here. We will know whether your assessment is right or not.”

The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Brenna.

Brenna held a deep respect for soldiers, especially those who had sustained injuries in service.

She said respectfully, “Mr. Mitchell, your overall health is good, but your left leg is a problem. You suffered a gunshot wound in your left calf. Though the bullet was removed, the damage to the nerves remains. When the weather shifts or you’re overworked, the pain flares up, and painkillers don’t help. It’s also hard for you to find the cause of the pain to treat it.”

Emmett’s eyes widened in surprise, and his brothers, Cason Mitchell and Flint Mitchell, exchanged looks of approval.
