Chapter: 530

Without a good explanation, I'll stay upset!"

Shelton's expression turned grave as he motioned for her to get up.

“Please, maintain professionalism within the institute."

“Why worry? It's just us here," Sheri countered, attempting to lighten the mood with a kiss on Shelton's cheek. “Come on. Tell me about her."

Shelton took a moment to steady her. "Sheri, remember that very lab that's been off-limits in our institute? Do you know who owns it?"

Sheri, puzzled, shook her head. "No idea. I just knew we weren't allowed to use it."

"It's the Supernatural Doctor's," Shelton clarified with emphasis.

Sheri's grip on Shelton's neck slackened in shock. “The Supernatural Doctor? The one who's a legend worldwide? The same doctor rumored to have unparalleled medical skills and who even treated the Queen?"

“That's right. It's her. She agreed just yesterday to assist our institute with a challenging problem the project team has been facing.

And today, when you confronted her with such hostility, I had no choice but to stand by her at that moment. I had to appease her."

The realization hit Sheri hard. The woman she looked down on previously was precisely the Supernatural Doctor. Yet, Sheri refused to believe it, assuming under the disguise of a hat and a mask, Norah could be an imposter.

"Shelton, is there some mistake? Could she truly be the Supernatural Doctor?"

Sheri pondered aloud, her mind grappling with disbelief. Norah was the celebrated Supernatural Doctor? It just didn't add up. In her mind, the Supernatural Doctor wouldn't dress like an imposter without the nerve to unmask herself.

Shelton admonished, his tone firm and impatient, "Sheri, enough nonsense. The only one with access to that lab is the Supernatural Doctor herself."

Shelton had personally handed the Supernatural Doctor the keys, his authority on the matter unquestionable.

"I can't wrap my head around it! It's just... Not possible..." Sheri mumbled, her voice tinged with disbelief.

Shelton warned, "That's enough. Get back to your studies and duties, and keep the Supernatural Doctor's identity to yourself. Got it?"

After that, Shelton pushed Sheri off his lap. "I should get back to work."

Shelton remained distant, absorbed in his work, his attention never wavering. Sheri couldn't ignore the memory of his tender moments amid their intimacy, a stark contrast to his current demeanor.

Sheri was not reconciled with the fact that, Norah, the one she had intended to teach a lesson which resulted in humiliating herself, was the famous Supernatural Doctor.

Sheri rolled her eyes, brushing aside Shelton's warning. She vowed to confirm Norah's identity herself.

In Norah's exclusive lab, the first attempt at brewing the Vitality Potion ended disastrously, leaving behind a pile of wasted ingredients.

Not discouraged, Norah delved into a second try with renewed determination.

Merely having the potion's recipe didn't guarantee success. Despite a mishap with an excess herb in the second batch, Norah still refused to give up.
