Chapter 393 

Please be quiet, everyone.” Eason gestured for the crowd to calm their excitement before continuing, Recently, someone has been manipulating public opinion, spreading baseless rumors. First, I must tell you that my father was indeed poisoned. The origin and nature of the poison are unknown and extremely dangerous. As you know, Susan is the long–lost daughter of the Nicholas family, and Ben is her husband. Dr. Thomas here happens to be their good friend. It was only because of their relationship that Dr. Thomas agreed to come out of retirement to treat my father! I’ve been concealing Dr. Thomas’s true identity because, firstly, Dr. Thomas himself shuns fame and fortune, and secondly, due to the mysterious circumstances of my father’s poisoning, I wanted to see if we could draw out the person behind it.” 

Eason’s words were mostly true with a bit of fabrication. 

The crowd listened intently. 

Eason paused and then continued. “But what I didn’t expect was that my silence would be exploited by some. They used this incident to manipulate public emotions, even trying to bring a fake Medical Mystic to treat my father. Had Dr. Thomas not proven himself as the real Medical Mystic, what would have been. the consequences of having such an unknown and sinister person near my father?” 

The crowd shuddered collectively. 

The reason Ava was able to stir up so many people was simple. 

Alexander was truly a convincing and beloved king. 

The public, concerned for his safety, had gathered here. 

Now, Eason’s revelation suggested that all this might have been a plot, sending a chill through everyone’s 

hearts. 

Had they… been used? 

And who kept insisting that Eason wanted to harm Alexander and usurp his position? 

All eyes turned to Ava. 

Feeling uneasy under their stares, Ava forced a smile. “Eason, what do you mean by that? It sounds as if you’re accusing your aunt. I’m just concerned about Alexander.” 

“Aunt, I can’t afford your kind of concern, and neither can my father.” Eason’s smile turned cold. 

“What do you mean by that?” Ava asked, not pleased. 

“You’re asking me? Perhaps you should explain first why you went to such lengths to bring a fake Medical Mystic to my father. You’ve been loudly accusing me of wanting to seize power, but it seems to me that you’re the one who wants to be queen.” 

Eason was blunt, speaking so straightforwardly in front of so many people. 

Ava felt a pang of anger, a flicker of rage passing through her eyes.

She thought. What’s going on with Eason? 

Doesn’t he understand any rules? 

Such matters should not be discussed openly like this!” 

Ava managed a forced smile. “Eason, you’ve misunderstood me.” 

“Is that so?” Eason replied with a faint smile. “Then, Aunt, I ask you to swear right here that aspire to be the queen in 

your lifetime.” 

Ava was at a loss for words. 

How could she possibly make such a vow? 

Her silence only made the crowd more suspicious. 

you 

will never 

Taking a deep breath and looking somewhat flustered, Ava said, “Enough of these childish accusations. It’s getting late, and I’m tired. I’ll take my leave now.” 

She turned and hastily left. 

Watching her retreating figure, Eason’s eyes darkened slightly. 

Ava was never the real enemy. 

She was just a pawn pushed to the forefront. 

The real adversary was still lurking in the shadows. 

Who could it be? 

Who was manipulating everything from behind? 

“I guess there’s nothing left for me here, so I’ll be… Thomas began, his tone urgent. Suddenly, his gaze shifted, and he froze. 

Theresa? 

Did he just see Theresa? 

How could that be possible? 

How could Theresa be here? 

After Thomas made his appearance, Theresa, taking advantage of the crowd’s focus on him, quietly blended into the throng of people. 

She stood at a distance, silently observing Thomas’s confident and assertive demeanor. 

Once she was sure that Thomas’s situation was resolved, she turned to leave. 

Chapter 393 

Theresal Thomas, seeing her about to leave, couldn’t help but shout out in urgency. 

However, Theresa didn’t even pause her steps and quickly left the scene. 

Thomas, anxious to follow her, was immediately stopped by Eason, who whispered. “Don’t worry, I’ll have someone follow her right away. With so many people around, you can’t afford to leave your protection. I’ll bring Theresa to you.” 

Thomas was still anxious, but he knew his current situation was delicate. If he followed her, he might inadvertently put Theresa in danger. 

Given the circumstances, he had no choice but to trust Eason. 

As soon as Ava left, Eason signaled to some people who began to clear the crowd. 

He then hurriedly escorted Thomas back to the hospital room. 

Upon returning to the room, Eason paused, feeling like he was forgetting something. 

But then he thought, if it slipped his mind, it probably wasn’t that important. 

He quickly dismissed the thought. 

After several hours of surgery, Edel wiped off his sweat and emerged from the operating room in high spirits. 

This surgery had been an exceptional performance for him. 

It was just a minor surgery, but he had executed it perfectly, even finishing a bit faster than usual. 

As for Thomas…. 

‘He probably regretted everything by now. Edel thought. 

Let’s go. 

Time to head out,” Dr. Edel said with a slight smile, leading his assistant outside. 

After walking a short distance, he frowned slightly. 

Why were people looking at him so strangely? 

But soon, Edel felt it was only natural. 

He was about to win. These people must be admiring him. 

Although the way people in Tonico showed admiration seemed a bit odd, it didn’t matter to him. He could accept it. 

With his head held high, Edel quickly approached the exit. 

Suddenly, a piece of napkin blown by the wind landed on his head. 

Edel angrily took the napkin. “Who threw rubbish everywhere? I…” 

Chapter 393 

In the blink of an eye, he froze in shock. 

The scene, previously bustling with crowds, was now deserted, with only a few sanitation workers quietly cleaning up. 

“Excuse me, coming through,” a sanitation worker said calmly as he passed by Edel. 

“Wait!” Edei grabbed the worker’s arm. “What’s going on? Where did everyone go? I just completed the surgery. I won. I am the Medical Mystic.” 

The worker looked at him as if he were insane and disdainfully said, “The competition ended an hour ago. Dr. Thomas’s patient was declared recovered a long time ago.” 

“An hour ago? That’s impossible.” Dr. Edel exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Cheating, you must be cheating! I need to find Ava!” 

Just as Edel pulled out his phone, a sudden cold sensation pressed against his forehead. 

He stiffened and slowly raised his eyes to find a gun forcefully pressed against his brow.
