He was fuming inside, but given Abbey's status, he kept a polite facade. The folks from the National Medical Department were visibly angry, but none dared to speak up. After all, they didn't have the same standing. Elijah strutted past Mr. Tanner and his team, full of arrogance, as he escorted Abbey out of the airport. The moment they were gone, the National Medical Department folks couldn't help but start whispering among themselves. "That Abbey, she's really something else, isn't she?"

"Well, she's got every reason to be. The only daughter of the White family from Lone Island, and a medical prodigy to boot. If I were her, I'd be proud too."

"A medical prodigy? Is she really that amazing? We have our own medical genius in Austenberg-Flora. She's even beaten members of international medical organizations." "Come on, big brother.

"... You must be new here. Joy's not even on Flora's level, let alone Ms. Abbey's."
