His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 845

Out of curiosity, Arielle asked, “Can an outsider join the Mills' heir selection?”

A conflicted look crossed Cornelius' face. “In the past, such a thing would be implausible. However, there hasn't been an ancient Chanaean doctor in our family after my siblings and I were born. In my father's eyes, it is much more crucial to maintain the prestige of ancient Chanaean medicine. In the future, the Mills wouldn't be the only ones suffering. Ancient Chanaean medicine will fade into obscurity. Right now, most people would prefer to seek out modern medicine instead of traditional Chanaean medicine.”

“If an outsider is allowed to compete for this position, the family's secrets will be passed to that person too. Most traditional Chanaean medicine has a strong emphasis on secrecy when it comes to prescriptions. Is your father really willing to hand it over to an outsider?” Arielle asked.

Cornelius heaved out a heavy sigh. “If given a choice, no one would be willing to hand out their family's secret prescriptions. But true to my father's words, my siblings and I are unworthy to be his heir. It is humiliating to admit it. Although I'm the eldest in my family, I've picked up traditional Chanaean medicine from my father from the moment I could read. Yet, I lack the talents needed to excel. Even if my father doesn't say it aloud, I know that I am unfit to be the next head of the Mills family. I can't improve our family's medical skills.”

Once again, Cornelius' humility impressed Arielle.

It looks like Queenie is the black sheep of her family.

Coincidentally, Cornelius and his father shared identical values with the Wilhelms.

Similarly, the Wilhelms would prefer to help people with their skills than keep them to themselves. It was far more important to offer their assistance than to retain information selfishly.

Queenie appeared in Arielle's mind. “Isn't there someone named Queenie in your family? She is a skilled doctor, isn't she?”

Although Arielle did not get along with Queenie, she had to admit that the latter was a skilled and talented doctor.

“Oh? You are talking about my younger sister. She's indeed much more talented than me. However...” Cornelius paused before he continued, “My father thinks that it is important for a doctor to be kind-hearted and selfless. Queenie has yet to achieve those values.”

“What do you mean?” Arielle cocked an eyebrow.

Cornelius sighed again.
