Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

I’ll choose this one,” Thomas said, picking a patient.

Edel closely examined both patients, seeing no apparent difference between them, and readily agreed.

“So, Dr. Thomas, let’s see the truth in action,” Edel said with a slight smile, not waiting for Thomas’s response, and turned to walk away.

Ava signaled, and several camera operators hurriedly followed him.

Thomas smiled and headed towards the hospital, followed by a few other camera operators.

At the same time.

At the entrance of the hospital, a huge screen was set up.

The screen was split into two, showing the treatment scenes of Thomas and Edel respectively.

The crowd gathered at the hospital entrance quieted down, intrigued by this unique medical showdown.

Currently, the best–accepted treatment for appendicitis is surgery, removing the inflamed portion.

Traditional medicine doesn’t involve surgical removal of the intestines, so how would Thomas completely cure this disease?

It seemed like an impossible task.

Even if he truly was the Medical Mystic…

This challenge seemed a bit too daunting, didn’t it?

As the hospital’s entrance broadcasted the event, Ava used all her influence to ensure that at the same time, all major TV channels in Tonico were airing this medical showdown. They even provided background information about the competition on the screen.

“Whoever wins becomes the undisputed Medical Mystic.”

It was all very direct and brusque.

Theresa, what are you doing here! Tonico is too chaotic right now. You’ve finished your work here. Let’s just catch a flight back home as soon as possible.” The agent looked around nervously at the crowd.

He had heard that the people of Tonico had just stormed the hospital where the king was being treated.

That was a major upheaval.

Most people would avoid such a scene, but Theresa, upon hearing the news, rushed over without even changing out of her filming clothes.

Wasn’t this madness?

“Just go back first,” Theresa said, looking up intently at the huge screen.

On the screen, Edel was already preparing surgical tools, while Thomas was still casually chatting with his patient.

“How can I go back alone?” her agent implored. “Theresa, I’m begging you, let’s go back first, okay?”

Theresa shook her head. “You promised me a vacation after these busy days. I’m taking that vacation now.”

Her eyes remained fixed on the screen, unblinking.

Thomas…

Could Thomas be the Medical Mystic?

In her memory, although Thomas held the title of hospital director, he was just in name.

She always thought of Thomas as an aimless doctor, just getting by each day.

She never minded that version of Thomas. After all, she earned enough to support them both even if he didn’t work.

But now, to think that Thomas might actually be the legendary Medical Mystic?

“How is that possible?” Theresa murmured to herself.

In fact, when Theresa followed Ben and Susan to Tonico, she had already felt that something was amiss.

After all, Susan was here on official business, and if Thomas were just a mediocre doctor, why would he be involved?

Theresa lowered her gaze thoughtfully.

Had she really… never truly seen Thomas for who he was?

But deep down in her heart…

She wished Thomas had nothing to do with being the Medical Mystic,

She preferred he wouldn’t get entangled in these complications.

Yet, now that he was already involved, what could she do?

She could only stand by his side.

Theresa’s gaze gradually firmed up.

“Theresa, I did promise you a vacation, but you could go back home for it. Staying here is… too chaotic.” her agent reasoned earnestly.

Theresa smiled softly, her eyes gentle as she looked at her agent. “You go back home. Don’t worry, I’m an adult. I can take care of myself. There are reasons here that compel me to stay, people I must see.”

Whether it was Susan or Thomas, they were both very important in her life.

If they were in trouble, Theresa wanted to stand with them.

This… the agent hesitated. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Go back, your baby is waiting for you at home, Theresa said warmly.

The agent sighed, “Alright, Theresa, I… I’ll leave first.”

Her three–year–old child had been without her for several days. The child must be missing her, and she couldn’t stay here with Theresa indefinitely.

“Okay, okay, don’t worry.” Theresa assured her a few times.

The agent finally left, looking back every few steps.

Theresa lifted her head, turning her attention back to the large screen.

While they were talking. Edel had already started the surgery.

Meanwhile, Thomas was still chatting

with his patient.

The crowd began to grow restless.

“What is Thomas doing? In another two or three hours, Edel will have completed the surgery, and he’s still chatting with the patient?”

“Is he still competing or not?”

“It doesn’t matter if he loses, but this contest is about the reputation of traditional medicine versus modern medicine. If he loses, it’s like traditional medicine has lost.”

“Thomas, if you can’t win, you’re betraying our heritage!” someone shouted provocatively.

The crowd’s emotions became increasingly agitated, with the voices of protest growing louder.

Theresa squinted her eyes.

The first person to shout was clearly doing it on purpose.

There were instigators among the crowd, stirring up emotions.

If this continued, any slight disadvantage would turn their anger towards Thomas.

This couldn’t go on.

Covering her face, Theresa carefully made her way through the crowd to the front.

She saw Ava standing aside and walked straight towards her.

“Who’s this?” the bodyguards surrounded Ava defensively.

Theresa smiled faintly, removing her hat and sunglasses. “Miss Nicholas, it’s Rose. We met at a party before.

Ava was taken aback but recognized Theresa.

Previously a top model and now a film star, Theresa’s fame in Tonico was undeniable.

They had even exchanged a few words at a party.

“Miss Austin.” Ava narrowed her eyes slightly. “What can I do for you?”

Theresa spoke softly, “This medical competition will take several hours. I think everyone waiting here might be a bit bored. Miss Nicholas, how about this? I invite a few friends to come and perform some shows for everyone, free of charge? This way, no one will be bored. What does everyone say?”

She directed the last question to the crowd.

Ava’s expression changed, about to refuse.

But the crowd, excited at the prospect of such a treat, had already started shouting in enthusiasm.

Theresa blinked innocently. “Miss Nicholas, it seems everyone is quite excited.”

Ava’s face turned a shade of green.

Having such a high–profile star close by, the ordinary people were naturally thrilled.

But with Theresa’s appearance, the crowd’s attention shifted. When the results came out, would the discussion be about the stars or the outcome of the competition?
