Chapter 72

All eyes were on Isabella, awaiting her response. She lifted her gaze to the camera, her voice calm and measured. “Health management,” she began, “should be tailored to each individual’s lifestyle. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach.”

She paused, then looked at John. “As long as people get enough sleep, avoid overeating or starving themselves, manage stress moderately, and don’t over-rely on medication, they’re already managing their health quite well.”

The audience was taken aback. “That’s all it takes to be healthy?” they thought in surprise. Wasn’t it supposed to be about waking up early, eating on time, and such? Some thought Queenie was different; she saw through the superficial and got to the heart of the matter.

Meanwhile, Jayden couldn’t take his eyes off Isabella. ‘She’s so dazzling,’ he thought, ‘I never realized she could be like this. She should have been mine.’ The murmurs of admiration only fueled his frustration. He clenched his fists. If only she had given him a chance to understand her better, he wouldn’t have missed out.

George, watching Jayden’s reaction, smirked. “Serves you right,” he thought. “You deserve to regret it. You always looked down on Queenie, didn’t you? When she had a crush on you, you acted superior. Now let him see what it’s like to be out of her league!”

Isabella, ignoring Jayden, continued speaking, her voice steady and confident. The audience hung on her every word. At that moment, she radiated a calm self-assurance that was impossible to ignore. Despite the dry subject matter—health management—the audience was captivated.

Isabella finished sharing useful health tips, and the crowd went wild, especially her fans. Seated on stage, she raised her index finger and calmly said, “If you suddenly have a stomach ache and don’t have medicine at home, you can try pressing this spot on your finger…”

The camera zoomed in on Isabella’s elegant hand; its flawless beauty was reminiscent of a hand model’s. Screams echoed as some fans, especially those obsessed with hands, nearly lost control.

“Wow, her hands are so beautiful!” one fan exclaimed. “I want to put a diamond ring on her finger, oh my gosh…” another screamed.

Isabella paused, listening to the cheers. She glanced at the audience, her gaze affectionate yet helpless. With a tender smile, she raised her finger to her lips, signaling for silence. The crowd immediately complied, covering their mouths to stifle their excitement. Their eyes still sparkled with admiration and awe.

George quietly looked at the young girls around him, bewildered. “Is this really how people idolize someone these days?” he wondered. “If Queenie didn’t stick to medicine and ventured into showbiz, she’d probably become a legend.” He shook his head. “What am I even thinking?”

Alex and Stella watched, exchanging knowing glances. Could they even handle the tidal wave of attention that was coming?

Meanwhile, Jayden, in the audience, fumed. The louder the crowd, the more uncontrollable his rage became. “Isabella! This damned woman!” he thought. Was this the same woman who claimed to love him, hiding things like this? Wasn’t this making a fool of him?

Despite his turmoil, Isabella continued her explanation. The audience followed her gestures, committing her tips to memory. A couple experiencing mild stomach discomfort tried pressing their fingers as instructed. To their surprise, the pain eased.

One jumped up, yelling, “Oh my gosh, it really works!” Those around him, seeing the immediate effect, were even more awestruck. She really lived up to her name as the Miracle Doctor, Queenie, they thought.

John, usually responsible for keeping the show lively, was the most relaxed person present. In the past, he had to work hard to maintain the energy; today, he simply asked questions everyone wanted answered. The entire explanation lasted forty minutes, but no one felt bored. In fact, when Isabella finished, the audience wanted more. Some even took notes, impressed by her practical advice. This light-hearted entertainment had become a full-on lecture.

When Isabella concluded her segment, John stood, teasing the audience with a grin, “I have to give a thumbs up to all of you who paid such close attention in ‘class’ today.” The audience burst into laughter, clapping and cheering.

John continued, “Alright, that concludes the interview. Next up, we have the game!” The crowd applauded enthusiastically. They loved seeing Queenie calm and composed, but what would she be like in action? Excitement bubbled as everyone anticipated what was to come.

John turned to the guests and announced, “Now, we’ll let our guests change into more comfortable outfits. We’ll resume in ten minutes.” The guests were in dresses or suits, unsuitable for the upcoming games.

Soon, the four guests returned, dressed in sporty outfits provided by the show. Isabella, with her long hair in a high ponytail, radiated youthful energy. Her fresh look dazzled the audience. Does she even have a comfort zone when it comes to fashion? With her beauty, she could make anything look good. Absolutely stunning!

Before John could explain the game rules, Stella approached Isabella. She turned off both their microphones, whispering regretfully, “Queenie, I can’t be your partner this time. I have a new show with Alex, so we need to do some promotional work together.” Stella thought, pouting slightly, ‘Otherwise, I would never team up with that guy. Partnering with Queenie would be so much more fun.’

Isabella, understanding, nodded and smiled, “Of course, no problem at all.” Their conversation ended as John began the next segment, raising his voice cheerfully, “This round is called ‘Get Active, Folks!’”

Everyone watched eagerly as John continued, “Let’s bring out the exercise equipment!” The sofas were pushed aside, and various pieces of gym equipment, including a weightlifting machine, appeared. The audience gaped in surprise.

John explained, “We’ll split the four guests into two teams. Let’s see which team can lift the most weight!” The audience thought, This isn’t about strategy, it’s about raw strength. And with two girls on stage, it’s clear the guys will have to do the heavy lifting. But wait… isn’t one of the guys the famous actor, Jayden? Watching him lift weights is definitely something to look forward to.

John concluded the rules, adding, “The winning team will have a $1.5 million donation made in their name to impoverished areas!”
