Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 905:

The household was in a flurry of activity as servants rushed in and out. Clearly, something significant had occurred. Marissa stopped one of the servants and inquired, “What’s happening?” It was quite late, and the servant had been preoccupied. She hadn’t realized Marissa had returned and was startled when she noticed her. The moment she recognized Marissa, she quickly greeted her.

Marissa nodded and asked, “Is something wrong? Why is everyone acting so frantic?”

With a troubled expression, the servant explained, “Miss Nash, you’ve been away for a while, so you aren’t aware that a major event has taken place within the Nash family. As you know, the Nash family is famous for its expertise in medicine, and the person with the best medical knowledge gains the highest standing. Today, the family held its yearly medical competition. Landen, being the successor to the family leader and personal student of the renowned doctor Riss, was expected to come first. But instead… he placed last! Landen has been studying medicine for a relatively short time, so it makes sense he didn’t win first place. But his performance was shockingly poor, and it has sparked outrage in the family. They’re even saying he’s unfit to lead the family. Despite learning under Riss for a while, he hasn’t shown any improvement in medicine. The other family members are saying that he knows nothing about the medical field and doesn’t even deserve to be called a doctor. In fact, everyone is now pressuring Mr. Sergio Nash to strip Landen of his successor title. Upon seeing Landen’s competition results, Mr. Sergio Nash was livid. With the family’s mounting discontent, he had a severe outburst that triggered his chronic illness. He collapsed and hasn’t regained consciousness.”noveldrama

Marissa grasped the gravity of the situation and felt deeply responsible. She had been too preoccupied with other matters and had neglected Landen’s studies.

“You can return to your duties,” she told the servant before stepping into the living room. Inside, the scene was chaotic.

The family head, Sergio, lay unconscious on the sofa, his face pale.

Hannah sat beside him, pleading desperately, “Sergio, please wake up. Don’t leave me.”

Landen knelt nearby, looking devastated and lost.

The other family members were gathered in silence, their expressions tense. With reddened eyes, Balthasar looked around and barked, “We have so many skilled doctors in this family, yet no one can help Sergio!”

Gerry, who had once caused trouble for Marissa, replied, “Balthasar, everyone knows about Sergio’s illness. He’s had it for ages, and it’s highly complicated. Years ago, Brian was the one who treated him successfully. With Brian gone, there’s nothing we can do now. The best we can offer Sergio is a peaceful passing and a dignified funeral.”

“How dare you!” Landen shouted, his eyes filled with tears.

“My father won’t die!”

“Oh, really?” Gerry sneered mockingly.

Shaking his head, he continued, “Landen, do you have the right to raise your voice? Your father’s current state is because of you. To be blunt, you’re the reason he’s dying. If you had any decency, you’d go…”

“That’s enough, Gerry!” Hannah scolded.

“Landen has only been learning medicine for a short while. It’s expected that his skills aren’t good enough. As his parents, we’re willing to give him time to grow. If not for your relentless pressure, Sergio wouldn’t have relapsed!”

“Ha!” Gerry cackled, eyes gleaming with malice.

“Hannah, you’ve coddled Landen for far too long. That’s why he’s failed to improve. And now, he’s pushing his father to his grave, yet you still defend him. As the family hostess, you lack impartiality. You’re always favoring your son. Tell me, how are you different from Sanga back in the day? How can anyone here trust you? But then, since you and Sanga are cut from the same cloth, your behavior shouldn’t surprise us.” Gerry turned to the other family members, raising his voice as he asked, “Do we really want people like Hannah and Sergio to lead our family? Can we afford to let history repeat itself?”
