Chloe was sobbing uncontrobly, barely managing to choke out apologies.


    Jasper gently patted her shoulder. "Come on, let''s head to the hospital and check on you."


    Millie grabbed Chloe, who was now a puddle of nerves, and followed the Schnabel n into the car.


    On the drive, Sienna and Tristan were on the verge of tears too!


    "Noe, why''d you have to go and do something so reckless? You''re going to give Mom a heart attack!"


    Noe, with a chuckle, shrugged. "Didn''t think it through, I guess."


    Her instinct had just kicked in.


    Chloe, sitting in the limo''s backseat, was a mess of tears, teetering on the edge of a breakdown.


    "I''m so sorry, Ms. Schnabel. I dragged you into this mess..."


    Millie wrapped an arm around Chloe,forting her. "Hey now, it''s not your fault."


    Palmer checked Noe''s swollen wrist, concern etching his features. Her fair skin was now blotched red, likely dislocated. If Noe hadn''t been a highly trained secret agent, catching a girl mid-fall, she might have lost the use of her hands entirely.


    Palmer felt a pang of sympathy. "Hold still."


    Jasper interjected, "Mr. Pock, you''re no doctor. Let''s wait for Ulrich to take a look at Noe''s wrist at the hospital!"


    He was worried Palmer might worsen his sister''s injury.


    "No worries, Jasper. He''s got this. I trust Palmer," Noe reassured him.


    With those words, Jasper found himself speechless, fretting over her wrist.


    With a firm grip, Palmer found the dislocation and swiftly corrected it with a snap.


    "Does it hurt?"


    "No, it''s bearable."


    This minor pain was nothing for Noe, but seeing the worried faces of Palmer and Tristan made it feel more intense than usual.


    Leaning on Palmer''s shoulder, as soon as they arrived at the hospital, Noe was scooped up and rushed to meet Ulrich Schnabel at the entrance, heading straight for the treatment room.


    Surrounded by her concerned family, Noe couldn''t help but smile wryly.


    "Really, I''m fine. Palmer''s fixed it."


    Calvin, arriving in a flurry, was beside himself with worry.


    "Don''t you know how vital hands are for a surgeon? You''re too impulsive!"


    "Who tries to catch someone jumping off a building? That''s madness! You think you''re some kind of superhero? You''re not Iron Man!"


    Calmly, Noe responded, "If I hadn''t caught her, she would''ve died. And as a doctor, I couldn''t just stand by."


    Calvin''s eyes welled up, torn between admiration and concern for his brilliant protégé.


    "You''re too kind-hearted, always rushing to save others. It''s a doctor''s curse."


    Ulrich, who was examining Noe, paused. "Wait, what did you say? Noe is... who?"


    "Phantom Surgeon Lunaris," Calvin blurted out, then realized he''d spoken too much. Not everyone knew Noe''s secret identity. Facing the stunned Schnabel family, Noe calmly revealed, "Yes, I''m part of Lunaris. It''s a team, not just me. There are many of us." "In the grand scheme of things, I just perform surgeries and sign documents. Nothing major," she downyed her crucial role. Ulrich''s knees weakened, nearly dropping to the floor. "You... you''re Lunaris? The legend in the medical world?"


    Noe nodded, mentioning surgeries she''d done and medications she''d prescribed, things even Marcel hadn''t disclosed to his family.


    As Calvin hastily left to fetch medicines, the truth about Noe''s identity and her incredible contributions left her family in awe.


    "Palmer, you knew all along?" Tristan asked, amazed that Palmer wasn''t surprised by Noe''s dual life.


    As Palmer continued to tend to


    Noe''s bruises, everyone else was left to process the revtion that Noe wasn''t just a family member but a medical superhero.


    Noe reassured them with a gentle tone, "Don''t worry, Dad, it''s just a minor skirmish, nothing to lose sleep over."


    Ulrich was silent for a momentContent bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    before he finally spoke, "Ha, if


    Waris is just a minor skirmish, then


    what I''m doing now must be ying house."


    Swnovel


    Back when he was a Doctors Without Borders surgeon, the Phantom Surgeon Lunaris was the legend Ulrich idolized!


    He had aspired to be a doctor like Lunaris, saving lives and boasting an unbeaten record in the operating room!


    And now, it turns out his life''s goal was literally his little sister!


    Jasper was bbergasted.


    "Noe, do you have any other surprises we don''t know about?"


    Noe just smiled.


    "Nope, that''s about it."


    Just being Pris StarLoadstar and Phantom Surgeon Lunaris, not to mention the head of the Azure brand, was enough to floor the Schnabel family! Jasper had to physically lift his jaw back up.

    "Well, that''s a relief, I guess. If you had anything else up your sleeve, Jasper here.might just keel over from shock... Now it seems we brothers are nowhere near as impressive as our sister. If word gets out, it might just scare people to death."


    Ulrich was not amused. "What''s so good about that!"


    Now, every time he saw his sister, he''d have to fight the urge to kneel...


    On the side, Millie''s eyes twinkled with mirth as she chuckled, a picture of someone hiding her true talents.


    What a turn of events!


    And there were still more surprises toe that would astonish them!
