Chapter 1315
Maria’s brain could not process Austin's words, and she stood there, stunned. Austin did not care for all
the things she had mentioned. Since everyone thought he was Dominic's secret apprentice, many
wealthy and influential people sought his help. It was not like he helped all of them.
He knew he was not Dominic's secret apprentice. Although he was confident in his medical skills, there
was a risk of things going wrong.
When that happened, he would offend influential people, so taking the risk would not be worth it.
Moreover, he understood that he could not accept their invitation easily with the increasing number of
people who sought his help. It would only make him lose his mystique and make him appear worthless.
"Mr. Fike, I don’t have ill intentions, and I’m not lying to you. Didn't you learn about medicine to save
people’s lives? My niece is only a little over 20 years old, and she consulted many doctors about her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcondition, but none of them could help her.
"If you could save her, you could make a name for yourself in the whole world!" Maria was unwilling to
give up and chased after Austin.
However, Austin only strode more quickly into the parking lot to look for his car. He was not in the mood
to entertain her at all.
Seeing that he was going to leave, Maria panicked and stood in her spot. Stomping her foot, she said
through gritted teeth, "If you really are the miracle doctor and you're his secret apprentice, why won't
you dare to help us? You're just a conman, aren't you?"
That was Fabian's doubt earlier, while Maria was confident that Austin was not a conman. However,
she could not care about all that now.
She had been waiting for two days and even tripped earlier, making her look pathetic. Still, she did not
get Austin to help her and even had to endure his harsh words. It made her so mad that she blurted the
words out.
It stopped Austin's hurried footsteps in their tracks. He turned around and gave her a severe look. He
had not taken her seriously, making Maria think he was hostile toward everyone.
Getting stared at by him in this way made her feel uneasy.
She gulped her saliva subconsciously. 'Sh*t! Did I offend him? I’m so dead! He'll be even more
unwilling to help me now!'
"Who did you call a conman?" His voice was frigid.
That was what he hated the most. Austin was allowed to reach his position and enjoyed all the fame
and honor, but he did not think he was a conman.
He knew his medical skills deserved recognition and honor. It was just that Dominic was too stubborn
and had not officially taken him in as his apprentice. However, it was true that he was skilled in this
field, so how could he be a conman? He just did not clear the misunderstanding. That was all there was

"I-I was just babbling nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I know you’re busy, but I'm only doing this
for my family. I hope you..." Maria trailed off. She had no idea what he was thinking at this moment. He
looked to be such a gentleman, but it was tough to communicate with him.
Austin continued to stare at her while his mind processed what she had just said earlier. 'She said
something about Secretary Rollins' daughter and that none of the doctors could treat her illness. I’ve
been too busy with the research, but I've not made any progress recently. Perhaps I could discover
something if I switched my focus to something else. Plus, I can always say I went to help people with
their illnesses if things are not moving well here at the lab.'
With that thought, he became less cold, and his tone improved. "You mentioned that your niece has a
condition. What is it?"
Upon hearing that, Maria's eyes widened, thinking she still had hope. She became much more
energetic and quickly said, "Mr. Fike, it's like this...'
