Chapter 880: Not a Good Person
Claire Woodward felt a chill from Summer Monroe’s intimidating glance.
Suddenly, a feeling arose within her, as though something she was once sure of having was slowly slipping away, never to return.
Summer Monroe’s eyes were truly terrifying.
Claire decided not to make eye contact with Summer anymore and coldly said, "I don’t want to know! You better leave quickly, or I’ll have someone throw you out!"
Summer chuckled softly and walked away with large strides.
Claire watched Summer’s silhouette disappear, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
She returned to Sixth Woodward Hall, but felt a bit restless.
Before long, Caleb Woodward came back.
Unable to resist, Claire approached and asked, "Big brother, how do you know Summer Monroe?"
Caleb, seeing Claire in Sixth Woodward Hall, asked with some surprise, "Claire, why are you still here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the hospital?"
Claire felt a pang of frustration, and quickly explained, "There’s too much scheming at the hospital. I don’t want to become as complicated as they are, besides I’ve learned almost everything about Western medicine, so I resigned."
"Resigned?" Caleb raised his voice in surprise.
But two seconds later, he regained composure, nodded and said, "That’s fine, your father disagreed with you studying Western medicine from the start. It’s good to come back, Sixth Woodward Hall is short of people. When I’m out on house visits, the pharmacy lacks someone in charge. It’s perfect timing for you to come back, you can also use this time to prepare for the family head selection."
"You still haven’t answered my question." Claire asked again, "How do you know Summer, big brother?"
Caleb’s expression stiffened slightly; he knew his sister was intensely jealous and realized Summer didn’t seem to have the best impact on Claire. He chose to omit mentioning the invitation he had given Summer for the family head selection, and simply said that Summer helped him when he was treating Faye.
"So that’s how it is..." Claire looked up at Caleb and said, "Big brother, let me tell you, Summer Monroe is far more scheming than she appears. My departure from Ross Hospital was largely because of her. You should keep your distance from her; she’s not a good person."
Caleb found these unpleasant words grating, and frowned slightly as he reminded Claire, "Claire, it’s alright to say this in front of me. Dad values morality above all else, so don’t judge others with such a tone in the future."
"I know, I know." Claire replied impatiently, waving her hand and then turned back to her chair and started playing on her phone.
Seeing Claire’s attitude, Caleb let out a barely audible sigh.
Judging by Claire’s demeanor, it was uncertain what would happen when Summer appeared on the day of the family head selection.
He just hoped everything would go smoothly.
Caleb didn’t linger in the hall much longer; after resting for a bit, he went out again for house visits.
...
Elsewhere, Summer instructed Assistant Shelton to head to a nearby traditional medicine shop.
Her current purchase was fairly ordinary. Only one herbal ingredient, Emperor Grass, was challenging to find.
She visited three shops before completing her purchase.
"Miss Monroe, where are we going now? Back to Redleaf Manor?"
Summer shook her head, "Let’s go to Crestfall University first."
She planned to use this time to visit the archives and search for clues about that man.
Assistant Shelton didn’t ask further and drove to Crestfall University.
There were many red lights on the way, and while waiting at one, Summer spotted a familiar face on a commercial street.
