Chapter 75: Holland is My Beckett's Apprentice!
"Beckett!" Martin exclaimed, rubbing his eyes in surprise and trembling. He suddenly fell back into his chair.
"Beckett!"
"Mr. Kendrick!"
The journalists never expected Beckett to show up. It had been over a decade since he had appeared in public, but he was still as spirited as ever, and many people watching the live broadcast were thrilled to see him.
In the past, from the elites to the commoners, many had benefited from Beckett's kindness. His exceptional medical skills and noble character were admirable. The journalists surrounded him, eager to get firsthand information.
Holland looked at the familiar old man. They said Beckett was Mr. Kendrick. Beckett had always concealed his identity from her. She could hardly believe it. She looked to Covington for confirmation, and he nodded. Holland then understood that he had known Beckett's identity all along, so he was confident he could prove her innocence. Those certificates were probably genuine.
That was their secret with Beckett.
Beckett addressed the crowd, "Holland is my apprentice, and these certificates are genuine. As the Honorary President of the Medical Association, I have never stepped down, and the seals on them are all authentic."
"I concealed my identity and trained her for over a decade. Fortunately, I had arranged so many certificates for her early on. I never expected someone would use this against her."
"Who still doubts?"
He picked up those certificates, flipped to the last page, and at the bottom right, they all read "Beckett Kendrick."
Holland obtained her medical qualification through the "master-disciple" relationship, and her mentor was the renowned Mr. Kendrick.
The audience was stunned. Even online users were amazed.
Holland seemed unaware of Beckett's identity. Beckett continued, "Although she is young, she is highly talented and diligent. With her level of skill, she should have obtained her qualification long ago!"
Everyone instinctively doubted what a young girl could achieve, but they dared not doubt Beckett's words.
Beckett turned to Covington and said, "Covington, how long do you intend to keep this a secret?"
Covington smiled faintly. He slowly stood up and walked over to Beckett. "I can't keep it a secret any longer."
Covington stood up!
He said, "Holland cured my legs."
Everyone was astonished to see him stand up.
Goodness!
Wasn't this a miracle?
"Mr. Covington can really walk now?"
"I never expected Holland's medical skills to be so advanced."
"So there really are geniuses in this world. Isn't it unfair for her to be confined to A City Hospital?"
"She is Mr. Kendrick's apprentice!" Dalvin, who had been standing on the stage, couldn't resist speaking. He arrogantly said, "Holland also cured my illness! Have you heard the rumors about me recently? She cured my impotence."
Dalvin was quite proud of himself. But no one mocked him; they all envied him. Holland truly lived up to being Beckett's apprentice.
Dalvin looked at Martin and demanded, "Martin, you owe Holland an apology. Why did you repeatedly slander her? Did she offend you?"
Martin said, "I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding."
"You can't just apologize verbally. What about those announcements you made?" Dalvin continued.
Martin, feeling humiliated, said, "I will delete them."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the meeting room. He really couldn't bear to stay any longer.
Online users also began apologizing to Holland.
"Holland, I'm sorry."
"I apologize."
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
A real-time hot topic emerged online: "The whole internet owes Holland an apology."
The journalists wanted to be the first to publish the news and began drafting headlines! "Shocking! Mr. Kendrick appears at the press conference, and Holland turns out to be his apprentice!"
"SkyOrigin Corporation President Covington recovers, Mr. Dalvin's hidden illness cured, all thanks to that woman!" "Unauthorized medical practice has a hidden story; we all owe Holland an apology!"
As promised by Covington, online users' defamation of Holland was cleared up.
"Today's press conference ends here. Thank you all for coming." Beck said these words with mixed emotions and ended the hospital's live broadcast.
The journalists continued to chase after Holland and Beckett, eager for more news. Covington had to stop the enthusiastic journalists and escort the two back to the hospital ward.
The viewers in front of their television sets were filled with various emotions and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Drakes' Family Mansion. Marley exclaimed excitedly, "Holland is actually Mr. Kendrick's apprentice. I can't believe it!" She cried out, "Mom, look! Covington can stand up now! Our family has finally made it through the toughest days, and Holland is truly our lucky star!"
"Yes, Holland is such a good kid!" Korbin said, wiping away tears.
Her son could finally stand up! She had no idea how much effort Holland had put in.
Holland turned out to be Mr. Kendrick's apprentice! They went from crying to laughing.
Elliot's family living room.
Elisa sighed, "I thought I would never see Mr. Kendrick again in my lifetime. I never expected him to show up for Holland."
Coraline exclaimed, "Does that mean Uncle is saved? Beckett will surely be able to save him."
The Elliot family had been caring for a comatose member for twenty-two years.
Elisa said sadly, "When we asked Beckett back then, he refused to come. Now, he definitely wouldn't want to come."
Coraline quickly added, "But we have Dr. Holland! She cured Covington and Dalvin's illnesses; her medical skills must be extraordinary."
"Yes!" Elisa said excitedly, "We still have Holly!"
Evans' Family.
Poppy smashed her water glass against the TV screen. The LCD screen shattered instantly.
"This can't be true! How can Holland be Mr. Kendrick's apprentice? How can Covington suddenly stand up?"
She couldn't accept it! She was particularly envious of Holland!
Juniper questioned Aurora, "Your daughter has such great abilities, and Beckett taught her for so many years. How could you not know?"
"I didn't know," Aurora explained.
"Stupid! You ruined such a good connection!" Juniper said angrily.
One was Mr. Kendrick's apprentice, and the other was the president of SkyOrigin Corporation. Aurora had ruined a great opportunity!
"Juniper," Aurora said softly. She was now filled with regret. Aurora finally understood why Holland had said those things at the auction that day. She had said she would regret it. Aurora truly regretted it!
"Don't call me!" Juniper slapped her. "Stay away from me; I won't be back for a few days."
"Juniper!" Aurora watched Juniper storm off in anger.
"You're despicable; it's all your fault!" Poppy blamed Aurora and then viciously beat her.
Aurora didn't dare fight back. She cried out in agony in her heart, determined to find Holland! She would do anything to seek Holland's forgiveness!
