The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 276

He really couldn’t take over someone else’s job.

Baldrick looked at Claire.

This time, Claire didn’t try to hide anything. “I’m Baldrick’s doctor.”

Padgett stared at her, thinking he must have heard wrong. Claire was still a student. How could she possibly be Baldrick’s doctor?

“The doctor Baldrick wanted to see was actually my teacher. But he passed away. Baldrick couldn’t wait for treatment, so I stepped in, even though I’m still learning,” Claire explained.

Padgett’s first reaction was to blurt out, “So you’re the one who tricked me out of my snow lotus!”

Claire laughed. “Grandpa, I didn’t trick you. But to be fair, medicine made with the snow lotus really does work better than the regular stuff. Besides, you were the only one who had one on hand.”

She had said before that if they couldn’t find the snow lotus, other herbs would work. But Baldrick actually found one. Her grandfather had handed it over willingly. Nobody from the Green family forced him. That wasn’t on her.

It wasn’t her fault at all.

Padgett just shook his head. “Well, I don’t even know what to say.” He hesitated, then asked, “You really know medicine? You think you can actually cure Baldrick’s rheumatism?”

He went on, “Didn’t you see how Achilles kept going on and on about how traditional medicine couldn’t possibly cure Baldrick? He basically wanted to say it was worthless.”

Padgett rolled his eyes. “He even said you were just using something harsh to cover up the symptoms for now, hinting that Baldrick would get worse later.”
