Chapter 418 These People Are So Scary

They saw a little boy who looked as angelic as one could imagine, clinging tightly to Raven’s leg like a small abandoned

animal grabbing onto the last straw of life, terrified that she might leave him behind.

Raven looked helplessly at the little boy who had wrapped himself around her leg without saying a word.

“Kiddo, where are your parents? Did you get separated from them?” Raven asked gently,

Benedict froze at her words.

He looked up instinctively, his big, crystal–clear eyes staring straight at her.

Even though he had prepared himself for the possibility that Raven no longer remembered him, hearing her ask this still made him feel a little lost.

For some reason, Raven felt an inexplicable pang of guilt under his gaze. But before she could figure out why, the boy lowered his head and mumbled with a pout, “My mommy and daddy don’t want me anymore…”

The little boy’s pitiful expression tugged at Raven’s heartstrings.

She couldn’t imagine what kind of heartless people would abandon such a sweet and well–behaved little angel.

Just as she was about to ask the boy more about his parents, Aurelia and the group of doctors finally snapped out of the

warm moment and hurried over.

“Miss Valor!” Aurelia, who had refused Raven’s help before, quickly stepped in front of her and said, “Ms. Rickard’s condition has worsened. Dr. Kidman says you’re the only one who can save her. If you can help, Lunshire will reward you generously!” Raven glanced at the young woman in front of her and replied coolly, “Didn’t you just say I wasn’t qualified to treat her?”

Hearing this, Aurelia clenched her fists tightly. She was reluctant to lower herself, but for the sake of curing Helena, she still glanced at Raven with reluctant remorse and said, “I’m sorry. I was too reckless.”

Raven’s gaze remained indifferent as she said, “Do you still remember what I said before?”

Aurelia’s face darkened as she realized that even after humbling herself to this extent, Raven showed no intention of giving her any leeway.

With so many doctors vying for the chance to treat Helena, the fact that she had come to plead with Raven was already a significant concession.

Demanding an apology was one thing, but Raven even dared to negotiate terms with her.

Of course, she remembered Raven had said that if they wanted her to treat Helena, it would cost them more than just the Ivory Reliquary.

Aurelia thought, ‘But the Ivory Reliquary was an extraordinary treasure. And this girl didn’t even have a A–Level invitation! What makes her think she’s worthy of such a treasure?‘

Aurelia looked coldly at Raven’s face and snapped, “You should feel honored we’re asking you to treat Ms. Rickard. How dare you keep refusing? If something really happens to her, can you bear the consequences?”

Raven chuckled at the woman’s reprimand and replied with calm indifference, “Why should I care if your leader lives or dies?” The subordinate was acting all high and mighty while her leader was on the brink of death. Raven almost felt sorry for Helena.

One short, chubby doctor frowned and stepped forward. Putting on the tone of a senior, she said, “Young lady, do you even know how lucky you are? Treating Dominic Baldwin’s master is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity!”

The other doctors nodded in agreement and started bashing Raven.

“Such arrogance at such a young age. You’ll regret this!”

“Exactly! As a doctor, it’s your duty to save lives. How can you talk about compensation before helping someone? Your behavior is a disgrace to the medical profession!”

But just as the doctor finished speaking, a crisp, innocent voice suddenly rang out. “If saving lives is your job, then why aren’t you helping the patient instead of just talking?”

The boy’s words were like a loud slap across all their faces, leaving their faces burning with shame.

If they really had the ability to save Helena, they wouldn’t still be standing there talking nonsense.

“Who is this brat? No manners at all!” The short, chubby doctor pointed a finger angrily at the boy’s face. “When adults are talking, a kid like you shouldn’t interrupt! If you keep yapping, I’ll discipline you on behalf of your parents!”

A flash of coldness that didn’t match Benedict’s age flickered in his eyes. But it vanished as quickly as it appeared.

He clung tighter to Raven’s leg and muttered like he had been scared, “These people are so scary.”
