“I have just checked on Sharon. She won’t be able to continue with the competition.” Janet’s cold voice continued to speak. “She has acute gastroenteritis and it’s quite serious.”
After she spoke, Dylan’s face immediately darkened. “How is she now? Is she better?”
She shook her head. “I’ve just given her some medicine. She’s in a better condition now, but it’ll still be difficult for her to go onstage.”
On one hand, he was worried about Sharon’s health, but on the other, he was worried about today’s competition. As he furrowed his brows tightly, he responded, “I’ll have a word with the organizer.”
After a moment of silence, Janet nodded. “I’ll inform the host.”
Dylan nodded at her before he walked toward the backstage.
As Janet gently walked to the stage, her aura radiated a champion’s mannerism.
Along the way, many people whispered to each other when they saw her.
In the audience, Sheldon choked as soon as he saw Janet showing up onstage.
She walked over to the host and spoke in an indifferent voice, “The other contestant from Woodsbury University has acute gastroenteritis. Her professor is now in discussion with the organizers, so can you wait for the final decision?”
As she stood onstage, her voice was obstreperous—not only did the other contestants hear her, even the audience below clearly heard what she said.
At that moment, the 9 contestants were stunned as they looked at each other.
In the meantime, Melissa squinted her eyes and stared at the girl in front of her thoroughly. She has a good temperament and her face looks familiar. I’ve seen her before.
Suddenly, her expression indicated that she realized something. That’s right. She is Janet Jackson. She is the divine doctor Sheldon mentioned.
However, the audience was a little doubtful of Janet’s words as they whispered to each other. “What is this? She now has acute gastroenteritis moments before the competition? I’m afraid that it’s just a lie to avoid coming onstage.”
“You’re right. Is it because she is afraid of Melissa?”
“Oh my God. Why is Woodsbury University so sh*tty?”
“Apparently, they are the best university in Sandfort City. Looks like it’s all just nonsense.”
“You’re right. If they delay the competition, it’ll be unfair to the other contestants!”
“That’s right. If everyone has a stomach ache, we should just cancel the whole competition!”
“Hmph, only Woodsbury University is able to come up with such a lame move.”
Meanwhile, Summer and Abby looked at each other in confusion. Why is Janet here?
The other students from the Woodsbury University medical school were also shocked when they saw Janet.
“Why is Janet here?”
“Didn’t she refuse to participate in the competition?”
“Yup. I didn’t see her on the plane yesterday!”
“What is happening?”
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
In the audience, Sheldon furrowed his brows while he slowly relaxed his fists. It seems that the students from Woodsbury University are still oblivious of Janet’s true identity.
Hazel pressed her lips and remained silent while she sat next to him.
A while later, Dylan exited with the organizer.
With an aggrieved face, the organizer announced, “I’ve been aware of the entire situation. The contestant, Sharon Nathan, is certainly unable to continue with the competition, but it’s impossible for us to delay the time. After all, it’ll be unfair to the other contestants.”
The moment he spoke, it instantly caused an uproar among the audience.
“I knew it. How can they delay the time because of one person? What a joke.”
“Looks like their scheme isn’t working anymore.”
“The champion will be the Rocher Family anyway. The other contestants can just give up right now.”
“That’s right. I heard that Melissa received a good result for her written examination.”
“That’s not a surprise. After all, she is the fifth generation heir to the Rocher Family.”
