The Chime residence, which was located in Jedburgh, was illuminated by bright lights from the inside out.
Priscilla Shaw's 90th birthday banquet lasted from noon till late evening. Full courses consisting of delectable cuisines were laid out on long tables. All the seats were occupied by esteemed 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 alternative 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 life. He and Priscilla were all smiles throughout the day.
"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 Nova! 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 I 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 Camille 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.
