Upon the release of the official announcement, the tone of online discussion rapidly shifted! Meanwhile, the village cadre received a call and was thrilled.

After hanging up, he hurried to Lonely Bird’s side and bowed deeply with his hands clasped together. Everyone was confused, especially the villagers who looked to the village cadre for guidance. “Mr. Miller, what are you doing by bowing to her?”
The village cadre’s eyes filled with tears, and his expression was excited. “Jessica is out of danger! It matched the diagnosis made by Lonely. Bird. The baby in her womb
was already gone, and she was in critical condition when she fainted. Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time! It was Dr. Lonely Bird who arranged for someone to meet them at the entrance of the mountain path, allowing the villagers to get her to the county hospital for surgery immediately!”
Shakira remained calm and said softly, “They were just passing by.”
The villagers looked at each other, hesitating and embarrassed. Despite not yet knowing about the UN’s announcement, even in their ignorance, they now realized that they had wronged a truly good doctor!
A young girl had traveled a long distance to their village to provide free medical services, working tirelessly without complaints. Yet, how did they behave? They falsely accused her, insulted her, and even threw rotten eggs and vegetables at her, nearly hitting her with a shovel. They were truly worse than animals!
The villagers were silent. After a while, someone finally spoke up loudly, “Mrs. Churchill is my uncle’s sister–in–law, and she’s not here now, so I’m apologizing on her behalf to you, Dr. Lonely Bird!”

Your heart is too dark, using us as pawns to go after Lonely Bird!”
“Sir, if you’re going to arrest someone, arrest her! I’ll testify, she’s the one who encouraged me to involve Mrs. Churchill!” As she heard Ella’s endless chatter, Yvette was nearly driven to madness!
Felix looked grim, his gaze cold. “Yvette, is this true?”
