Chapter 53
The room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Escorted by his entourage, Master Sylvan was shown to his seat. He squinted, his eyes seeming to struggle to focus on his surroundings.
The crowd stirred, everyone hoping to make a memorable impression.
Opportunities like this were rare, and no one was foolish enough to miss it. Sickness and death were a part of life, and some ailments could only be treated by Master Sylvan.
Offending a doctor of his caliber would bring them nothing but trouble and could very well cost them their lives at a critical
moment.
After a long moment, Master Sylvan adjusted his glasses and spoke in a slow, deliberate voice.
“You all know why I am here today, so I won’t beat around the bush. I wish to take on an apprentice to carry on my legacy. Now, you may all demonstrate your true skills.”
As he finished speaking, the host of the party, the head of the Quinn family, stepped forward.
Though he was getting on in years, Victor Quinn stood tall, his expression commanding authority. The moment he spoke,
eager crowd fell silent once more.

“If there are no objections, we can begin now,”
As Victor’s voice faded, the glittering lights of the venue brightened to their full intensity.
Every seat at the prepared tables was filled, with Master Sylvan seated right beside Victor Quinn himself.
Noticing that Master Sylvan seemed rather disinterested in the proceedings, Victor leaned in closer.
“Master Sylvan, I’m certain you will find someone suitable today. There’s a Miss Sinclair here. Her medical skills are truly remarkable; I have great admiration for her.”
“Miss Sinclair?” Master Sylvan’s eyes lit up, his whole demeanor brightening
It had been ages since he’d seen his Zina. He was amused by the thought that she was here. The other contestants were in for a rude awakening. He couldn’t suppress a proud grin.
“So, you know her too.”
Master Sylvan’s proud tone took Victor by surprise for a second, but he quickly recovered. “Yes, I admire Miss Sinclair greatly. I didn’t realize you were also acquainted.”
Victor had harbored some doubts about Rosie Sinclair’s abilities, but this confirmation from Master Sylvan himself was reassuring.
Master Sylvan nodded. “In that case, I will be watching very closely today.”
As Master Sylvan turned his attention to the stage, Victor beckoned to his assistant, Mr. Murphy.

“Gave that Miss Sinclair special attention,” he instructed quietly. “Remember, Miss Sinclair is our guest of honor. Ensure she wants for nothing
This was the second time that day the boss had told him to look after the young woman. The assistant’s heart skipped a beat.
This was unprecedented. That Miss Sinclair must be someone truly special.
With this in mind, his entire demeanor had changed by the time he approached Rosie.
“Miss Sinclait, there you are
Hearing her name, Rosie looked up.
People nearby turned to look, gasping in surprise. “Isn’t that Mr. Quinn’s personal assistant? What’s he doing here?”
“And he’s being so polite to her. She must be the real deal”
“I wonder who she is. It would be great to get a chance to talk to her.”
Hearing their fawning comments, Rosie beamed. When she looked up at the assistant, however, her expression was one of
pure innocence.
“Can I help you?”
“Mr. Quinn personally instructed me to assist you with anything you might need, the assistant said “I am at your service
Instantly, every eye in the room turned to Rosie, their gazes now filled with caution and respect.
