Chapter 63
Courtney looked at the woman, Ms. Johnson, at the door in shoe k
Even though she had been away for five years, Courtney immediately recognized the elegant woman as a PhD advisor at Henisburg Medical University
She was one of Austin’s teachers
“Countrary’s aunt” Austin’s mom looked at the woman who arrived with suspicion,
The woman had an impressive presence, adorned with jewelt, clearly showing she was someone of significance.
Jewerthought. When did Courtney get an aunt“”
Over the years, when Courtney ran into trouble, as did her parents, indeed some relatives came by, but they were all distant. She had thoroughly checked into this
She heard that Courtney’s mom did have a sister who weist missing years ago, and they never found her. N Now, after all these years, a woman suddenly comes up uying she’s Courtney’s aunt she wondered, Is she here to claim the inheritance?
Stop talking nonsense How could I not know if my daughter–in–law has an aunt?” Austin’s mom snapped, alarmed.
You might not fully understand who I am, the woman said in a low voice as she walked up to Austin’s mom “My name is Emily Johnson, Ima professor at Hensburg Medical College. Austin’s PhD advisor, and also the vice president of this hospital“:
Austin’s mom might not be well–educated enough to understand what the woman’s credentials represented, but she understood the meaning of “Vice president”
Courtney was equally shocked as she looked at Emily. Although Emily wasn’t Courtney’s advisor, being Austin’s advisor made her someone Courtney knew well
She wasn’t sure why 51s. Johnson suddenly came to see her and even helped her
dit be that
She thought. Could it be that Robert sent her!
Robert was Courtney’s advisor and also Emily’s senior. The two of them had always maintained a good relationship
“Austin’s teacher! The vice president of this hospital?” Austin’s mom chuckled. “And you say you’re Courtney’s aunt? Who sent you here to deceive
Me”
Emily ignored Austin’s mom and walked straight to the bedside, looking at Courtney. “Courtney, are you feeling any better?”
Courtney nervously looked at Emily, wanting to sit up out of respect, but was stopped by her
Courtney opened her mouth, trying anxiously to communicate in sign language. “Ms Johnson, what brings you here?” Worried that Emily might not understand, she was ready to type it out
Emily quickly stopped Courtney, giving her a gentle and reassuring smile as she signed, Courtney, just rest well. I understand sign language?
In that moment Courtney fch like crying
ly feel it.
Back in school, Courtney always felt that Emily was like a mother to her. But at that time Courtney’s parents were around, so she didn’t really Now, the just wanted to try.
Especially when she saw Emily’s gentle comfort, the urge to cry grew even stronger.
“Mr. Anderson asked me to come, he was worried you might be bullied,” Emily signed again, her expression seemed a bit off, as if she had mure të kay but didn’t.
Courtney felt inexplicably nervous and nodded.
“Didn’t you hear me talking” Austin’s mom asked Emily rudely. “You claim to be the vice president of this hospital, but my daughter–in–law’s father is the president. Even if you’re the vice president, you still have to answer to our family, right?”
Emily sat gracefully in her chair, giving Austin’s mom a look of disdain. “Although education and manners aren’t directly linked, in your case, it’s daringly obvious”
“What do you mean by that Austin’s mom retorted angrily.
She was decked out in flashy attire, her jewelry definitely valuable. Yet even with expensive clothes, Austin’s mom looked like a flashy nouveau

She was no match for Emily at all.
“What are you pretending for Come OIL.
i, everyone, look here. There’s a woman partemiling to be the vice president of your hospital Gather around. check it out she even claims to be my son’s teacher. My son is the youngest i hirf physician now. If she wants to climb up, she should know her own worth first,” Austin’s mom mocked loudly, making a soeur right at the hospital ward entrance.
This was a hospital, after all, and Austin’s mom was really making a fool of him.
Courtney knew well that Austin deeply cared about maintaining his reputation. He was embarrassed by his uncultured and loud mother, which was why he rarely allowed her to visit the hospital.
Bringing her here today, despite the potential embarrassment, was actually part of Austin’s plan to have his mom pressure Courtney into not pursuing any complaints against Vera.
Courtney took a deep breath, truly feeling the cold and despair,
She thought. This is what Austin was like.
“What’s going on Why are you yelling?” A group of nurses came over from the nurses‘ station.
“Come and take a look; this woman claims to be your head. Do you know her!” Austin’s mom boasted, obviously aiming to embarrass Emily. “I am the mother of your head physician. Austin.”
A few nurses looked at Austin’s mom in disbelief. This definitely didn’t match their image of Dr. Gilbert’s usually refined and gentle mother.
“Are you really Dr. Gilbert’s mother!” one of the nurses asked, skeptical
“Of course!” Austin’s mom was about to boast more when Austin squeezed in, taking the spotlight.
“Mom“” He seemed to have heard something, looking at Emily anxiously and nervously. “Ms. Johnson… Why are you here!”
Emily looked at Austin coldly and said calmly, “Austin. I heard that you’ve been hiding the fact that your wife is still alive for years, pretending to be a widower, and then married Mr. Lewis’s daughter. Now, you’re even plotting with Mr. Lewis’s daughter to kill your wife?”
like this?
Emily’s words were remarkably sharp, questioning Austin in front of everyone, clearly intending to embarrass him at the hospital.
All the nurses and onlookers at the hospital were shocked as they stared at Austin. Someone was whispering. “Is Dr. Gilbert really like
Another person chimed in, That’s Ms. Johnson, even Mr. Lewis has to show some respect when he sees her. It seems these rumors weren’t made up after all”
Austin paused for a moment, looking at Emily in disbelief, surprised that his advisor would humiliate him publicly like this.
Feeling a bit upset, Austin glanced at Courtney questioningly, wondering if she said something to make the teacher misunderstand him
