Chapter 175 

The Chime residence, which was located in Jedburgh, was illuminated by bright lights from the inside out. 

Priscilla Shaw’s goth birthday banquet lasted from noon till late evening. Fall courses consisting of delectable cuisines were laid out on long tables. All the seats were occupied by estermed guests, who spent long hours clinking glasses with each other while chatting merrily 

“Mr. and Mrs. Chime Senior, you really are blessed to have a miracle doctor like Ms. Chime in your bloodline. Surely she brings your family pride and joy!” 

Many family members and friends who came over to the main table to wish Priscilla a happy birthday would always bring Camille’s title up as the famous Dr. Shadow, 

Augustus Chime and his wife, Priscilla, had always been a humble couple. They were also shocked when they discovered that Camille was the elusive and famous Dr. Shadow, an entity sought out by the rich and the influential from the news. At the same time, they were elated as well. 

The Chimes came from a lineage of doctors. Their forefather had spent most of the toughest, battle–hardened years to save countless lives as doctors. Hence, he was bestowed the title “Dr. Miracle” 

After that, modern medicine was introduced to Jadonia, which impacted alternative medicine. The Chimes were greatly influenced by the ideology of modern medicine, so they ordered their children to abandon alterative medicine in pursuit of modern medicine instead. 

Because of that, the Chimes never produced another miracle doctor until recent years. 

The fact that Augustus descendant was a miracle doctor would forever remain the proudest achievement he had gained in his e. He and Priscilla were all smiles throughout the 

“Oh, you flatter me too much. I just did what a doctor’s supposed to do. Dr. Shadow is just a nickname that everyone has bestowed to me,” Camille said with a smile. 

She presented herself as a gentle, humble, and gracious woman. Because of the magnificent first impression, countless rich madames adored her greatly and wished to introduce their sons to her. 

“Ms. Chime, you really are amazing for snatching the bid on the Eclipse Stone from the grandmaster of Astral Noval! Can you show us the stone and let us admire it?” a wealthy woman asked 

Everyone agreed to the suggestion immediately. 

“I’ve always heard that the Eclipse Stone is a mythical treasure. Never did expect for people to be able to find it for real! Ms. Chime, please show us the Eclipse Stone so that we can feast our eyes on its glory.” 

“Precisely! We hope the Eclipse Stone’s blessings can be rubbed off on us by admiring it.” 

“We’ve never seen the Eclipse Stone before, so we’d like to study it up close.” 

More and more guests began piping up, making Came feel increasingly uneasy. Her smile was starting to seem awkward. 

“Camille, why don’t you grant everyone’s wish by showing them the Eclipse Stone? 

Priscilla was eager to see the Eclipse Stone for herself, thanks to the guests” words of marvel 

She had never gotten to touch the Eclipse stone. Even though she had attended the auction, her seat was too far from the Eclipse Stone for her to look at it properly. She only got to look at the stone via the monitor. 

The quality and the texture of Eclipse Stone were mesmerizing, to say the least, Priscilla couldn’t wait to feel the actual stone in her hands. 

“I’m sorry, Grandma. I was in a hurry to come here, so I didn’t bring it with me,” Camille said apologetically. 

“Do remember to bring it back next time, alright? That way, your grandfather will be able to take a good look at it as well” Priscilla patted Camille on the back of her hand 

“Alright” Camille nodded in response. 

Although the guests felt it was a shame that they couldn’t see the Eclipse Stone in person, they couldn’t help but discuss it. Naturally, Camille felt a mixture of uneasiness and guilt weighing down on her heart. 

“Thankfully, her phone rang at that very moment. It was a call from Amelia. 

Now that she finally had an excuse to leave, Camille quickly excused herself from the banquet hall so that she could pick up the call 

Johnson, who had been loitering in a comer, noticed Camille leaving the hall. He said his goodbyes to his associates before following her out of the hall as well. 

A while later, Johnson finally located Camille sitting on the swing in a corner of the garden. The sight of her silhouette gave him mixed feelings.
