Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 245



The hospital was buzzing with excitement today, as the competition was about to kick off. Lena checked her medical kit, a look of sheer confidence plastered across her face. Her bestie strolled over, beaming with praise. "Lena, this competition is just a formality for your promotion. With your mad skills, first place has got your name written all over it." "Check out Pearl, silent as a church mouse. She doesn't stand a chance. Lena, you're unbeatable."

Lena sported a smug grin, as if she'd already clinched the title. "Don't say that, guys. Pearl would be so embarrassed if she heard you."

"Come on, we're just stating the obvious. Pearl can't hold a candle to you."

"Exactly, look at Pearl sitting over there, not a shred of confidence. She doesn't have the presence you do, Lena."

Lena basked in their flattery, casting a glance at Pearl, who was seated quietly, and smirked. She approached Pearl, her voice was as soft as silk, "Pearl, don't sweat it. It's about participation, not just winning." Pearl looked up, her face etched with confusion, "So?"

Suddenly, Lena found herself speechless, her gaze frozen on Pearl.

Unfazed, Pearl replied indifferently, "Lena, the competition's starting. Give it your best shot."

Pearl was determined to land a permanent position and leave her intern days behind. Ever since Lena arrived at the hospital, Pearl could sense something off about her. Arrogant was an understatement.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Pearl wondered if the hospital would show favoritism this time. Standing up, she readied herself for the contest, curious to see if Lena could truly earn the top spot.

Meanwhile, Josefina and Ellory were watching the competition through a live feed in the office.

Ellory was taken aback. The legendary healer who could bring the dead back to life, mend flesh and bone was actually so young? Surely, she was too green for such acclaim.

Ellory was incredibly respectful. If it weren't for Walter, how could they have landed such a remarkable talent to judge the event?

"Ellory, please, just call me Josie," Josefina insisted, showing deference.

Ellory chuckled warmly, "Josie, you're so young, skilled, and humble. A rare gem indeed."

Josefina responded with a modest smile, "Thank you, Ellory."

The two continued to observe the competition.

On the floor, the first event was underway emergency first aid. The contenders sprang into action with life-saving procedures. Josefina sat in her chair, observing the actions of these people, and jotting down scores on the paper.

Next up, they moved to acupuncture, targeting precise points with slender needles.

Lena, gripping her needle, tried to recall the pressure points she'd memorized only the day before. But the sheer number and the pressure of the competition caused her memory to falter.

Lena watched as Pearl conducted herself with a serious demeanor, seemingly effortlessly, and suddenly felt flustered.

Josefina frowned at Lena's image on the screen. What had she been learning all these years?

Ellory, unaware of the connection

between Josefina and Lena, knew only that Lena was from the prestigious Harrison family. Other details were beyond his knowledge. "What's up with Lena? Didn't she study abroad?" Ellory frowned, clearly disappointed.

"Do you have high hopes for Lena?" Josefina inquired.

"Absolutely. She's from the Harrison family, with international training to boot. I thought she was quite capable."
