Someone joked, “Let’s clear the room. With Dr. Lake here, the rest of us are just background decor.”

“Once Mr. Phelan Senior takes Dr. Lake’s medicine, he’ll recover in no time!”

The chorus of flattery made Mosby smile. He tried to maintain his dignified image, but the praise still went to his head. He said, “You’re all too kind. I just had a few extra years of study. Medicine is a vast field, and I’m sure you’ll all reach greatness someday.”

His humble reply earned another round of admiration.

Luna stepped forward, and she was actually smiling for once. “Dr. Lake, thank you for tending to my grandfather.”

Mosby flushed with pride. “Ms. Luna, it’s my honor. Keeping; Mr. Phelan Senior healthy is my privilege.”

The others quickly bowed to Luna as well. After all, she was the Phelan family’s prodigy, the capital’s undisputed genius–her military rank of major–general at such a young age rivaled even Chetvine’s elite.

Her status made her the capital’s brightest star, outshining even Joe from the Driscoll family.

Amid the fawning cheers, Andrew’s calm voice cut through. “Mr. Phelan Senior’s constitution can’t handle strong meds. He shouldn’t take that prescription. Also, it’s lithiasis, not indigestion.”

Francis gasped, then snapped, “Shut your mouth! This room’s full of the capital’s elite–you don’t get an opinion here!”

He could not believe Andrew would speak up and wondered who gave this kid the audacity. With Mosby and the capital’s top medical minds present, questioning them was suicide.

However, Mosby and the others had already heard. Soon, dozens of eyes turned to Andrew, glaring.

Someone hissed, “What did you say? Are you doubting Dr. Lake’s diagnosis?”

“Ignore the fool–he’s just a clueless kid.”

Another chimed in, “What trash! Since when does the Phelan family let strays wander in? Disgraceful!”

Every response dripped with scorn. They took one look at Andrew and dismissed him.

Only Mosby kept smiling. “Young man, are you a medical student?”

Andrew shrugged. “I know a thing or two.”

Mosby nodded. “Questioning authority takes courage. I admire that spirit. But youth often leads to recklessness. Consider this a lesson from your elders.”

His tone was patronizing, like a wise teacher schooling an ignorant pupil.

Andrew just scoffed. To others, Mosby sounded courteous, but Andrew heard the contempt beneath his words. Obviously, his interruption had bruised Mosby’s ego, and this was the retaliation.
