Chapter 18 " Exactly . " Dashnell didn't deny it . Those words iced Avery's spine , freezing him solid . He never expected that the prescription in Margaery's hands would actually involve Dashnell . " And what did Dashnell just say ? That doctor had an odd personality and didn't want others to see his prescriptions , not even someone of Dashnell's status could get them without going to the Royal Medical Hall personally . So , those prescriptions I took … He didn't even dare think further . 68 % He quickly looked at Dashnell . " Your Highness , when Margaery gave me these prescriptions , she didn't say they couldn't be seen by others .. But Dashnell didn't even glance at Avery . He only looked at Nolan and said slowly , " The doctor said that these prescriptions can be submitted to the Royal Medical Hall , but he doesn't want anyone to climb over his apprentice's head for personal gain ; that's immoral . " And the royal blood can't stain with thug rep . " These words were too heavy , and everyone in the room immediately lowered their heads . Nolan jumped in . " Spot on , Your Highness ! The King's fatherly love runs deep - real tributes flow from respect , not muscle moves ." At this point , he could only turn to Avery . " Doctor Wallen , I will report this matter to His Majesty when I deliver medicine today . " Considering you are Lord Chancellor's son , I hope you resign within a month so no one loses face . " Avery was trembling on the ground with clenched fists . His fake calm demeanor vanished completely as he turned his head and stared fiercely at Margaery . " Margaery , what do you gain by destroying me ? Let me tell you , you're part of the Wallen family . If father knew what you did … " Finally , Dashnell gave him a look . " So the family reunion circus and forcing Margaery's blood payment apology ? Not surface sludge - the Wallen family is a bottomless blood swamp . Deeper than hell's basement . " His tone was calm with no emotion detectable , but it made Avery shiver with fear . " Your Highness , that's not what ! Dashnell was crippled and ineligible for succession , but precisely because of this , the wasn't involved in the imperial succession dispute , which made him especially favored by the King 1/4 23:42 Wed , 20 Aug 12 Chapter 18 Moreover , his mother was Lady Serena , whom the King loved dearly , and behind her stood a powerful General . K 68 % With so many factors at play , even though Dashnell didn't get involved in politics , his words carried a lot of weight with the King If this got to the King , I might become a pretext for the King to take a shot at the Wallen family . " The King can't directly vent his anger on the Wallen family , but dealing with a mere Lord Avery ? Even though my dad was the Chancellor , he wouldn't dare complain . At this thought , cold sweat dripped down Avery's forehead . In the end , he gritted his teeth and backed down . " Your Highness , I've learned my lesson . I'll resign from Royal Medical Hall in a month . Please cut me some slack . " He then glared fiercely at Margaery , cursing inwardly , ' She'll see what she gets when we get home ! " Margaery locked eyes with him , her brows furrowed tightly . The sons of the Wallen family all looked decent on the surface . If not for seeing their sleazy side in her previous life , she wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with them . Now that Avery's future had been ruined by her , he must hate her guts . When she went back home , revenge would surely follow . She needed to think of a way to deal with it . Suddenly , Dashnell said , " Doctor Fischer , keep those prescriptions untouched in Royal Medical Hall . But credit should go to my friend . " " You mean … Lady Margaery Nolan looked at Margaery again with a meaningful gaze . Margaery was also surprised as she looked at Dashnell . ' When did I become his friend ? Or is Craig actually his teacher ? " " Yes . " His gaze , though brief and casual , was soft as it swept across her face . " Alright then . I'll change the records right now . These prescriptions are gifts from Lady Margaery to His Majesty and Her Royal Highnesses , " Nolan said . He regained composure , smiling as he immediately orased Avery's name from the record and replaced it with Margaery's name . Avery felt like grinding his teeth into dust . He didn't expect that after 1,500 days and nights of struggling , his bright future would be ruined by Margaery just like that . There wasn't even a hint of warning . But then he thought about it : ever since Tessa came , Margaery had become meek and tried to please everyone in the family . She was especially eager to help him . When did she turn into this ? 68 % 23-42 Wed , 20 Aug wed , 20 Chapter 18 For a moment , he couldn't help but wonder if she was possessed by some kind of evil spirit . " No way , I have to go to the Hall of Divinity and get someone to check on her . If I found proof that she was possessed , I'd make her pay ! " he thought . Margaery caught a glint of malice in Avery's eyes , She felt both cold and amused . Some people were just bad to the core . No matter how good they pretended to be , just a little push could reveal their true colors . If she hadn't died once in her previous life , she wouldn't have seen through Avery's facade . But no matter what , she achieved her goal today . So , she stepped forward and thanked Dashnell , " Thank you , Your Highness , for standing up for me . " Avery rolled his eyes at this instantly . He thought Dashnell was doing something for his teacher and wouldn't pay attention to Margaery . But unexpectedly , Dashnell said to Margaery seriously , " We're all disciples of the same teacher ; it's only right that I speak up for you . " Margaery blushed . Meanwhile , Avery felt like he'd been slapped in the face and couldn't bear to argue anymore . He gritted his teeth and said goodbye , " So , I'll come back another day to resign . " With that , he slunk out of the Royal Medical Hall. " Doctor Fischer , can we get the medicine now ? " Dashnell looked at Nolan . " Your Highness , please . " Nolan made way for Dashnell . But instead of having the medicine himself , Dashnell handed the prescription to Margaery and said casually , " Margaery can do it for me . " Margaery took the prescription and accidentally touched his fingertips . It felt like an electric shock as she snatched the paper away and hurriedly went to find the herbs . Dashnell discreetly pulled his hand back , a subtle smile playing at the corners of his mouth , his gaze fixed quietly on her retreating figure .. The other physicians in the Royal Medical Hall kept their heads down and stayed quiet as background characters , not daring to make a sound . Avery stormed out , feeling frustrated halfway through . With nowhere to vent his anger and not wanting to leave like this , he decided to go to the Inner courtyard and complain to 23:42 - Wed , zu Aug Chapter 18 Joshua . As soon as he entered , he started whining . " Joshua , Margaery has ruined my life ! " Joshua had just taken his seat after changing shifts and hadn't even had a sip of water when Avery rushed in . 68 % He was taken aback slightly . " What did you say ? Aren't you supposed to be at the Royal Medical Hall today ? Who ruined your life ? " " Did he hear that right ? Margaery ? Besides annoying Tessa and clinging to us five brothers , what else could she do ? " Joshua rolled his eyes and slowly sipped his coffee . Instantly , white - hot rage exploded in Avery , He growled through a steel - trap jaw , " That backstabbing witch Margaery ! "
