Chapter 175


    The Chime residence, which was located in Jedburgh, was illuminated by bright lights from the


    inside out.


    Prisci Shaw''s 90th birthday banquetsted from noon tillte evening. Full courses consisting of


    delectable cuisines wereid out on long tables. All the seats were upied by esteemed guests,


    who spent long hours clinking sses with each other while chatting merrily.


    "Mr. and Mrs. Chime Senior, you really are blessed to have a miracle doctor like Ms. Chime in your


    bloodline. Surely she brings your family pride and joy!"


    Many family members and friends who came over to the main table to wish Prisci a happy


    birthday would always bring Camille''s title up as the famous Dr. Shadow.


    Augustus Chime and his wife, Prisci, had always been a humble couple. They were also shocked


    when they discovered that Camille was the elusive and famous Dr. Shadow, an entity sought out by


    the rich and the influential from the news. At the same time, they were ted as well.


    The Chimes came from a lineage of doctors. Their forefather had spent most of the toughest, battle-


    hardened years to save countless lives as doctors. Hence, he was bestowed the title "Dr. Miracle".


    After that, modern medicine was introduced to Jadonia, which impacted alternative medicine. The


    Chimes were greatly influenced by the ideology of modern medicine, so they ordered their children


    to abandon alternative medicine in pursuit of modern medicine instead.


    Because of that, the Chimes never produced another miracle doctor until recent years.


    The fact that Augustus'' descendant was a miracle doctor would forever remain the proudest


    achievement he had gained in his life. He and Prisci were all smiles throughout the day.


    "Oh, you tter me too much. I just did what a doctor''s supposed to do. Dr. Shadow is just a


    nickname that everyone has bestowed to me," Camille said with a smile.


    She presented herself as a gentle, humble, and gracious woman. Because of the magnificent first


    impression, countless rich madames adored her greatly and wished to introduce their sons to her.


    "Ms. Chime, you really are amazing for snatching the bid on the Eclipse Stone from the


    grandmaster of Astral Nova! Can you show us the stone and let us admire it?" a wealthy woman


    asked.


    Everyone agreed to the suggestion immediately.


    "I''ve always heard that the Eclipse Stone is a mythical treasure. Never did I expect for people to be


    able to find it for real! Ms. Chime, please show us the Eclipse Stone so that we can feast our eyes


    on its glory."


    "Precisely! We hope the Eclipse Stone''s blessings can be rubbed off on us by admiring it."


    "We''ve never seen the Eclipse Stone before, so we''d like to study it up close."


    More and more guests began piping up, making Camille feel increasingly uneasy. Her smile was


    starting to seem awkward.


    "Camille, why don''t you grant everyone''s wish by showing them the Eclipse Stone?"


    Prisci was eager to see the Eclipse Stone for herself, thanks to the guests'' words of marvel.


    She had never gotten to touch the Eclipse Stone. Even though she had attended the auction, her


    seat was too far from the Eclipse Stone for her to look at it properly. She only got to look at the


    stone via the monitor.


    The quality and the texture of Eclipse Stone were mesmerizing, to say the least. Prisci couldn''t


    wait to feel the actual stone in her hands.


    "I''m sorry, Grandma. I was in a hurry toe here, so I didn''t bring it with me," Camille said


    apologetically.


    "Do remember to bring it back next time, alright? That way, your grandfather will be able to take a


    good look at it as well." Prisci patted Camille on the back of her hand.


    "Alright." Camille nodded in response.


    Although the guests felt it was a shame that they couldn''t see the Eclipse Stone in person, they


    couldn''t help but discuss it. Naturally, Camille felt a mixture of uneasiness and guilt weighing down


    on her heart.


    Thankfully, her phone rang at that very moment. It was a call from Amelia.


    Now that she finally had an excuse to leave, Camille quickly excused herself from the banquet hall


    so that she could pick up the call.


    Johnson, who had been loitering in a corner, noticed Camille leaving the hall. He said his goodbyes


    to his associates before following her out of the hall as well.

    A whileter, Johnson finally located Camille sitting on the swing in a corner of the garden. The


    sight of her silhouette gave him mixed feelings.


    Camille was the daughter of the Chimes'' main branch. As for Johnson, he was just a descendant of


    one of the branch families.


    Even though both of them were cousins, their status in the family waspletely different.


    Camille was the precious daughter who was the apple of everyone''s eye. Meanwhile, Johnson was


    just a lowly son from a branch family that the main family didn''t acknowledge. When he was a little


    boy, he was warned to stay away from Camille no matter what.


    Since then, Johnson admired yet feared Camille greatly. He never thought she was Dr. Shadow, the


    very being he admired with all his heart.


    "Dr. Shadow," he called out.


    Camille ended the call at that moment. She turned around to see Johnson, which was shocking for


    her.


    "Why did you leave the banquet hall as well, Johnson? Come, take a seat."


    She scooted to the side to make space for Johnson.


    "Thanks." Johnson walked over to the swing, but he didn''t sit down. "It''s been a while since youst


    logged into the Divine Forum."
