Chapter 2636

Chloe’s heart raced, and deep within, she realized that this was only the beginning of Nicole’s entire show.

“Do you know why I assigned Martin to be the assistant surgeon?” Nicole continued.

“Of course, you did it to slander Chloe,” Miley spat as Chloe kept her silence.

Nicole’s laughter filled the room, sending chills down everyone’s spine. She turned to look Chloe in the eye as she scrutinized her expression. There, she noticed Chloe’s breathing was labored, as if she was nervous about something.

After that, Nicole spoke again, “Ghost Hand, as they are aptly named, has a unique hand technique when he’s performing his operations, but for you guys to say that they are not quite comfortable operating while others are present is a little…’

Nicole paused for a moment, and that was when she noticed that everyone was looking at her.

Smirking, she stated, “Ghost Hand only uses their own surgical equipment.”

Hearing that, everyone around the operation theater was stunned. “What?!”

Nicole had ushered Martin over and gotten him to examine Ghost Hand’s surgical equipment before the operation even started and just like that, the scheme had unfolded itself.

“If someone isn’t able to recognize this…,’ Nicole said, trailing off mid-sentence as she dangled the James Dade card in front of her. “This is James Dade’s access pass, and with this, you are unconditionally permitted to work on any illnesses you could ever think of.”

“Why do you have this with you?” Martin asked, his eyes widening in shock.

‘Does she actually know James Dade on a personal level?’

In turn, Nicole shrugged. “I helped him once a long time ago. He gave this to me as a token of thanking me.”

“This thing is an incredibly rare object held in high esteem around the world.

How could you easily obtain it? It must be fake,” Miley waved, unconvinced by what Nicole had said.

“Miley, you can’t come up with a lie to accuse others of forging fake evidence while you yourself are doing the same, ” Karen piled in.

“Shut up! What do you even know?!” Miley shouted. ‘They just came here to watch the drama. They weren’t even here to help!”

“Exactly, I have no idea, so I’m asking if you do,’ Karen replied as she turned to Mr. Riddle Sr.

Karen then added, “Dad, we’ve never seen a miracle doctor in action before, but it seems to me that there will always be someone who knows a thing or two about miracle doctors.”

Everyone had the same thought in their minds. ‘Why bother going through all the trouble if we know someone who knows everything?’

“No need to ask, it is authentic for sure,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said as he looked Nicole in the eye, having reached a mutual understanding.

Mr. Riddle Sr. had just found out himself that the card Nicole was holding was the exact same card he had heard about in tales.

“This…,” Karen paused as her eyes lit up and met Mr. Riddle Sr., confirming the truth of the James Dade card.

Though her mind had wandered, Karen had never suspected that the card was a fake.

“It’s a shame, really,’ Nicole sighed. “Although I’ve got this, I can no longer contact this miracle doctor. Otherwise, I would have asked him to save me when I was near death.”

The card was basically meaningless; she could not contact the doctor, and having possession of the card would no longer mean that he would show up to cure her from any injuries or illnesses.

And upon hearing that there was no doctor who could save Chloe, Miley’s heart sank. Her last glimpse of hope faded just like that.
