The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 690: Audrick: My Sister is My Idol????_1

Nathalie Quinlan grunted her thanks, with little reaction, quite coolly.

Brian Bonette smiled, then gestured for Wallace Radcliff and Phoebe Hoffman to leave with him.

...

Alfred Garland escorted the trio outside until they reached the corner near the hospital room.

Phoebe Hoffman was the first to lose her patience and spoke up, "I can’t understand why Amadeus has so much faith in a high school student, to even bring her to The Ninth Institute..."

"She knows medical skills? That’s a freaking joke. How old is she? I didn’t quite believe it when you said she had programming skills, and now Amadeus actually believes she knows medical skills. Adelle Wafford..."

She wanted to say that if Adelle Wafford couldn’t even find a cure for Master Cadmus’s illness, then a high school student like Nathalie Quinlan coming there was just a joke, right?

"Just because Adelle Wafford can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t!" Wallace Radcliff, who was initially on her side but later found it unbearable, retorted upon hearing her speak behind their backs, "Mr. Hoffman, since Amadeus has made a decision, we should just follow his arrangements. Why question so much? Have you forgotten? People from The Ninth Institute never ask why, they just focus on doing their own jobs."

Phoebe Hoffman found herself at a loss for words. She had been suppressing countless dissatisfaction and indignation from the very beginning, and now that she saw Wallace Radcliff was not on her side with his cold gaze, she snorted derisively with a mocking expression, "Alright, if you don’t want to question, that’s fine. I’m overstepping. Wait till that girl goes to The Ninth Institute to treat Master Cadmus and you’ll see that I wasn’t worried for nothing!"

"I have something else to deal with, I’m leaving first."

Having said that, she huffed and turned to leave.

Brian Bonette watched her leave, then turned his shrewd gaze to Alfred Garland and asked, "Does that Ms. Quinlan really know medical skills?"

Wallace Radcliff, also curious, added, "Yeah, does Ms. Quinlan really know medical skills? She looks very young, and at her age, she shouldn’t have had the chance to study medicine yet, right?"

Master Cadmus is of great importance to The Ninth Institute.

They, of course, had to be cautious.

Alfred Garland, wearing an inscrutable expression, looked at the two men and said, "Mr. Bonette, Mr. Radcliff, are you aware of a Small Pill on the black market?"

Brain Bonette narrowed his eyes.

A Small Pill from the black market?

He seemed to recall hearing about it, that the pill was incredibly hard to purchase, not to mention expensive and scarce. Before, one might find three being sold each month, but recently there hadn’t been a single pill on the market for three consecutive months. The price had been driven up to nearly ten million in the black market, and even with that kind of money, there was no guarantee you’d get the item. He remembered Mrs. Yancey once spent a seven-figure sum and pulled many strings to secure one.

He fixed his gaze on Alfred Garland’s face, asking warmly, "I’ve heard of this pill. Does it have anything to do with Nathalie Quinlan?"

He was no longer addressing her as Ms. Quinlan.

Holding back intentionally and avoiding his probing look, Alfred Garland vaguely replied, "All in all, Ms. Quinlan is very impressive, even more so than you might imagine. Just wait and see, if Adelle Wafford can’t cure Master Cadmus, perhaps Nathalie Quinlan might have a way!"

He spoke with full confidence.

Brian Bonette and Wallace Radcliff exchanged glances, both seeing the skepticism and uncertainty in each other’s eyes.

Nathalie Quinlan is more capable than Adelle Wafford?

Back in the hospital room.

With Alfred Garland gone to see off the guests, only the two of them remained.

Just then, Nathalie’s phone vibrated. She casually pulled out the phone, unlocked it, and there was another message from Audrick Zachmann.

It was almost like a flood of messages.

[Audrick Zachmann: ????]

[Audrick Zachmann: !!!!]

[Audrick Zachmann: I didn’t read that wrong, did I, Nathalie? Did you see the question I sent you?]

[Audrick Zachmann: I’m shutting down.]

[Audrick Zachmann: So you’re Lighten Chaser? Holy crap, my sister is my idol!!! o(╥﹏╥)o]
