Chapter 288 White Nicholson

Julia was surprised to hear that Nicole would visit Old Mr. Benedict at the Gardner Residence.

 

 

“What’s going on? Are you going to make a comeback?”

In the face of Julia’s ridicule, Nicole’s eyes darkened as she pursed her lips with a bit of grimness on her face.

 

Because of that, Julia knew that she must have said something wrong and quickly apologized, “Okay, I know it’s my

fault. I won’t bring this up again.”

Nicole’s mood lightened after she heard this. Then, she lowered her gaze and glanced at the ground before looking

up at Julia, whispering, “My mentor’s last wish is for me not to be involved in this again. Julia, you know this.”

Julia quickly nodded and admitted her mistake. “I know, Nicole. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought it up.”

Back then, the number one surgeon in the world was White Nicholson. He had only taken in one apprentice

throughout his life, but no one knew what this apprentice of his looked like.

Only Julia knew that his apprentice was Nicole and White was her mentor. When White was alive, he was known to

be a jolly person. However, no one knew why he had not gotten married, hence having nobody to pass his medical

skills down to.

  

 

Later, as his fame grew, many people came to seek mentorship from him. Yet, they were all rejected.

After Nicole became a designer, Julia took Nicole to White’s place, telling Nicole that she would be designing a dress

for White. As White watched the way Nicole tended to her pieces, he immediately asked her on the spot if Nicole

would like to be his apprentice.

At that time, Nicole wasn’t the only one that was surprised. Julia was taken aback as well. The reason for this was

that White saw a talent in Nicole.

Later, Nicole accepted his apprenticeship and took White as her mentor as she studied for nearly three years. She

did multiple operations alongside White. Down the road, there was someone that wanted to learn from White but

was rejected. That was when everything went downhill as the person convinced others who White had operated to

start a riot.

At that time, the hospital was in chaos as family members of the patients were shouting and arguing every day. In

the face of money, their morals began to turn fuzzy as they slandered the medical ethics of White, tainting his

name.

Although White had saved countless lives, he suffered a loss of fame and fortune at the end of the day.

 

In the end, he passed away from heart disease, and his last words were, “Nicole, don’t continue to practice

medicine. Don’t inherit my mantle. Just go ahead and do whatever you like.”

Regardless, Nicole knew that her mentor was just afraid that if she were to inherit White’s mantle, she would be

abused and slandered.

On the white-clothed hospital bed, Nicole agreed with tears in her eyes, and she had never practiced medicine

since then.

Half a year after White’s death, some of the family members couldn’t stand the condemnation of their conscience

and brought up the truth of the event to the public. But there was no use, as White had already left the world, and

justice never prevailed.

From then on, practicing medicine was like a thorn in Nicole’s heart.

She lowered her gaze again and looked down at the floor. Perhaps it was the thought of her mentor that made her

feel a little uncomfortable.

When Julia noticed this, she quickly comforted, “Nicole, it’s okay. It’s over now. You’re a famous designer now, and

that is so much better than being a doctor.”

“You’re right,” Nicole replied lightly. She still didn’t understand why people would turn against White like that after

he had saved their lives.

Perhaps the human heart was really sinister after all.

Julia changed the subject and said, “Old Mr. Benedict is well-tempered and is kind to everyone. You and Hayden will

be fine.”

Nicole nodded when she heard this. “I know. After all, Hayden is his grandson. I’m not that heartless.”

Julia smiled as she nodded and said, “Just go and have a look. Maybe the old man might actually like Hayden. Then,

you would’ve killed two birds with one stone.”

“Mrs. Gardner has already come knocking at my door. I don’t have a choice.”

Nicole had a wry smile on her face. It seemed that no matter how unwilling she was, she would still be connected to

the Gardners either way.
