Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Moriah’s neck reddened in anger as she fought with the man. “Please be reasonable. You should be aware that his illness is not easily cured. Even if you called the best doctor in the world, they can’t heal him magically.”

The man became enraged and yelled at her nose, “Do you know who he is? Even if you cannot treat him, his condition should not worsen!”

“The patient’s feelings determine the illness. Perhaps his illness deteriorated because you enraged him.”

The man scowled. “Stop telling lies! His condition deteriorated far too quickly. He could still communicate normally around lunchtime, but in the evening, he experienced facial paralysis. This hospital is awful!”

Elspeth clicked her tongue. “This hospital was also dubbed the greatest in Waterside. However, I’m wondering how much of it is true.”

Elspeth believed her thoughts were quiet, but Moriah could hear them. So, Moriah came up with an idea and pointed at Elspeth as she said, “You don’t like our hospital much, do you? How about you seek treatment from this lady? She is also a medical graduate, and her abilities are not bad.”

Elspeth went utterly still. She had no idea how she became embroiled in it.

She didn’t want to kick the can down the road. She was about to turn around and walk away since she assumed the family would not accept the ridiculous request. However, the man stopped her.

“I’m sure her medical abilities must be superior to yours. I’ll let her give it a shot!”

Elspeth thought, am I a bargaining chip to you?

When he saw Elspeth, the man rushed over and bowed. “Greetings, miss. I want to request that you check on the patient. May I ask…”

“N-No, I can’t do this.”

Even if she could heal the illness, she didn’t want to be called in to treat someone on the spur of the moment.

“You’ve got this.”

“I can’t.”

“You certainly can!”

“I can’t!”
