Augustus wasn't surprised by Hera's cold and distant attitude. They had met before at the international medical research conference.
Hera went as the anonymous miracle doctor then. Graden, the president of the international medical research conference, held her in high regard and tried to keep her as vice president, but Hera refused.
Augustus had admired her then for her dedication to medicine, unmoved by fame. He had even attempted to recruit her but could never contact her. When he eventually learned that the miracle doctor was actually Hera, it left him with a mix of emotions.

"I'm here today to apologize on behalf of the Chfamily for their reckless actions. We failed to properly educate him." Augustus took out a contract from his bag and continued, "The Chfamily bought this plot of land near Jedburgh's suburbs to build a hospital. However, my family lacks talent in alternative medicine. As a gesture of apology, I'm transferring this land to you. I hope you can accept the Chfamily's apology." Hera paused and looked up, eyeing the land transfer contract suspiciously.
She had heard about this land. The Chfamily had spent over two billion dollars on it and planned to start construction this year. However, after Camille's impersonation was exposed by Hera, the project was put on hold.
What was the Chfamily up to now by apologizing and offering such a valuable asset? Those involved might know it was a gesture of apology and a desire to cooperate. But to outsiders, it could look like...
"Are you trying to bribe me?" Hera asked.
Augustus explained, "Please don't misunderstand. Treating patients and saving lives is our duty as doctors. The Chfamily initially practiced alternative medicine. Over time, we transitioned to modern medicine. I've always wanted the Chfamily to revive their roots.
"Transferring this land to you is the best way I can think of for the Chfamily to contribute to alternative medicine. I hope you can accept it and help promote alternative medicine." et Despite his flattering words, his intention was clear. He wanted to provide the land for Hera to establish a hospital specializing in alternative medicine. That way their past grievances would be behind them and they could work together.

If you're that sincere, then givethe surgical records and contract for the surgery performed on Linda at Reinland Hospital." Content belongs toen.kikistoriesAugustus was stunned. Why didn't Hera want the land worth over two billion dollars but the surgical records? The miracle doctor truly was noble-untempted by wealth and solely focused on medicine.
But Augustus was also surprised by Hera's request. How did Hera know about Linda's surgery? It was confidential, and few were aware of it.

"Augustus, what are you doinghere?" Catherine emerged from the consultation room after seeing a patient. Her cheerful expression froze when she saw Augustus She told isla to prepare the medicine for the patient before walking over with a dark expression. Content belongs to en.kikistories"Catherine..." Augustus' gaze was filled with a mix of joy, restraint, and helplessness.
Hera rarely saw Catherine like this. She glanced between the two, sensing something was amiss.
"I'm here to apologize to Ms. Youngworth on behalf of the Chfamily," Augustus answered.
Catherine knew a bit about Marcus pushing a doctor in the operating room when Hera was operating but wasn't sure if Augustus' apology was for that or the incident with Everly.
