Kate finally stopped crying and wiped away her tears with her small hands. She glared at Cheyenne playfully, "Your expression had me worried and feeling down. I thought..."
"You thought I was really going to mess things up and couldn't save your brother?" Cheyenne chuckled, finally turning to Jonathan who stood beside her.
She greeted him casually, "Mr. Owen, long time no see. How have you been?"
Jonathan's attitude towards Cheyenne was completely different from his attitude towards Kate.
With Kate, Mr. Owen seemed to treat her like a granddaughter and spoke kindly as an elder would.
But when facing Cheyenne, Mr. Owen's expression and eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation.
Did they see it wrong?
How could Mr. Owen admire a girl who looked around eighteen?
The next moment, something unexpected happened - the usually stern Mr. Owen suddenly stood beside the young girl with a big smile on his face like a fanboy.
"As soon as I heard that it was you who came here, I wasn't worried anymore," he said happily to Cheyenne. "If there is any disease in this world that you can't cure, then nobody else can."
When he said this, all the doctors present felt offended by his words.
They had lived for so many years but still couldn't compare to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. What a joke!
Cheyenne's lips twitched slightly. Every time the old man smiled so brightly, she knew it meant trouble ahead.
"Mr. Owen, please don't flatter me like that," she replied calmly.
In this vast world, there are countless hidden masters out there, including those whose medical skills surpass hers.
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore," he waved off her modest response. "Cheyenne, do you have any interest in working at our hospital? Recently one of our surgical experts went abroad for further studies, so we need someone new."
"He leaned in slightly, getting close to Cheyenne's ear, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear,"You work hard for another year or two, then after I retire, Eddie will take over my position as the director while you become the vice-director. How does that sound?"
You see, even for an exceptionally gifted person, it takes five years to start studying medicine at university, followed by three years for a master's degree, and another two years for studying abroad.
At least ten years were needed before one doctor was qualified to become an employee of this hospital, and even after entering, not everyone got the chance to perform surgeries.
After starting work, one must undergo at least a year of internship under experienced seniors before they were qualified to practice independently. To become an expert, it was impossible without at least twenty years. Promotion to the director and management positions was even more difficult.
This was a good promotion opportunity that every doctor craved for, but Jonathan was eagerly giving it to Cheyenne.
He looked forward to her approval.
Ten years ago, he had seen Cheyenne when she was still a little girl. Her acupuncture skills had amazed him.
At that time, he and his fellow student Carl both tried to take her as their disciple, while Cheyenne aw them as frauds and ignored them completely.
Later on, Carl took Jase as his disciple while Jonathan chose Eddie instead. But in his mind, he still regretted not having Cheyenne as his disciple.
Unfortunately for him though, Cheyenne didn't see him as anything other than an old man.
As she listened to the old man's words now, Cheyenne raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Was he trying to give her special treatment?
