Chapter 386 The Invitation Isn't A Joke
The moment Ellie finished speaking, the expressions on the doctors around her shifted
"Ellie, the Medical Conference invitation isn't something to be taken lightly? Johnny said immediately, frowning
Ellie saw the concern in Johnny's eyes and couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile
She glanced at Raven, then turned to Johnny and said with a light laugh, The Medical Conference has always
honored sell above all. If | truly have an illness | wasn't even aware of, and this young lady can detect it-doesn't
that prove her medical ability surpasses mine? If that's the case, why wouldn't | hand her my invitation?"
Johnny didn't relax at all. “That may be true, but..."
Before he could finish, Ellie interrupted gently, her gaze as soft as water Johnny, | understand your concem. If it
were only my promise, it might seem unfair.*
She turned to Raven. "Miss, how about this-if | do have an illness, I'll give you my B-level invitation. But if i don't,
you'l return hand dedicate yourself to your studies. For the next three years, you won't appear in any public
medical competitions. Deal?"

Around them, the other doctors looked at Ellie with newfound admiration
Seven looked a bit sheepish.
They had assumed Ellie's attitude cfrom jealousy over Johnny's interest in Raven. But now, it seemed she
had simply been worried that Raven-young and unproven-might recklessly attempt something dangerous just to
prove herself By offering her own invitation as a bet, Ellie was trying to help Raven grow, encouraging her to
focus on honing her craft.
Even Johnny's view of Ellie shifted.
At first, he had been frustrated when she mentioned giving her invitation away. But now, seeing the conditions
she had attached, he understood she had done it with Raven's best interests in mind.
Still, he hesitated for a moment and then looked at Raven. "Miss Valor | know you have confidence in your skills.
But you're still young. Rushing things will only hurt you in the long run.
"Ellie's body is perfectly healthy. | just hope that if you ever do choose to focus on medicine, it's from a genuine
passion to heal, not because you lost a bet."
Raven raised a brow slightly as she took in the sudden change in everyone's attitude—all from a few carefully
crafted words from Ellie.
She turned to Johnny and said calmly, "I have no interest in her invitation. If | didn't need to prove my skills to
help treat the princess, | wouldn't waste a single second caring what illness she might have.
"Of course, if she and all of you-refuse treatment, | won't force the matter.
*ust a friendly reminder-if she doesn't get treated soon, she won't live past three months."
It was as if something exploded in the room.
All the previous friendliness in their gazes vanished.
Now, nearly everyone looked at Raven with a mix of shock and disapproval
Ellie's expression turned icy, and even her gentle voice had gained a sharp edge. "Are you cursing me?"
Raven glanced at her, expression flat. "I'm not that bored. I'm simply stating a fact."
Ellie's fists clenched tightly at Raven's detached tone
The other doctors" expressions had also grown colder.
"Miss Valor, Ellie is only hoping you'll focus on your studies. You shouldn't repay her kindness with hostility"
"Yeah. You're beautiful-you should be an angel in white, not someone people grow to despise."
"Miss Valor, apologize to Ellier
Raven felt the increasingly hostile stares surrounding her-and then laughed. "I said she was sick because her
condition is already life-threatening.
"And as for the rest of you-maybe you don't ha
At that, the room fell into a stunned silence.

Before anyone could respond, Raven calmly lifted a hand and pointed at a middle-aged doctor in his early forties.
"You," she said. "Three months ago, your sleep started to decline. You've been having frequent nightmares and
