Chapter 47: Medical Leaders Gather
Actors!
As soon as Quin spat out the word, everyone's expressions froze.
He continued coldly, "That day at Feazer Medical Clinic, you all saw it—how this girl writhed in discomfort from a simple fever. And now, this woman dares to claim her daughter suffered from cold syndrome? Do you really think everyone here is stupid?"
His voice sharpened like a blade as he pressed on, "And more—this woman had the audacity to call me a quack, claiming that John saved her daughter's life. Is she seriously suggesting that I, a direct disciple of the Master of Traditional Medicine, possess inferior skills to a boy barely in his twenties? Does that sound reasonable to any of you?"
Quin's face twisted with performative grief. "So then—if they're not actors, what are they?"
His voice rose, laced with righteous fury.
"I can endure the slander and endure the damage to my name. Reputation means nothing to me. But what cuts me deepest is that this innocent little girl is being used—used as a tool by malicious people. Have you no conscience?!"
His speech struck a chord, igniting the fury of the onlookers.
The crowd erupted.
A flood of abuse surged in like a tidal wave.
They didn't just curse at Tracy and John—they turned on the woman as well.
