Nearby, the nurses were buzzing with excitement. “That doctor is unbelievable! She’s so skilled!”

“I know, right? I can’t wait to tell everyone about this!”

Hearing this, Esteban turned to them. “You’re talking about the doctor who just operated?”

“Absolutely! She’s a luminary in the medical field! We’d only heard stories about her before, but today we saw her in action,” one nurse said, her voice trembling with excitement. “She’s none other than the legendary Dr. Mia!”

Esteban’s mind reeled at the name.

Mara, standing beside him, was equally stunned. The name was legendary in the medical world. She had performed only two surgeries in Lorpond, each time saving a patient from the brink of death, earning her a reputation as a miracle worker.

But after those two operations, Mia disappeared from public view. Despite offers from many wealthy individuals willing to pay huge sums for her services, she turned them all down. She was so elusive that no one could locate her. It was rumored that she had gone abroad to continue her studies, which might explain her absence. But how had Susan managed to get in touch with her? Where had Susan gained such influence?

Esteban watched Susan and the nurses as they made their way to the ward. He had always viewed his daughter as somewhat of a lost cause, someone who didn’t seem to push herself to excel. He had no idea that she had been quietly making significant strides. After all, Mia was a highly esteemed doctor, normally out of reach even for the elite! Esteban was lost in his thoughts.

Mara noticed the look on Esteban’s face and was momentarily alarmed but quickly masked it with a smile. “Who would have guessed Susan would be so fortunate? I’ve heard Mia isn’t swayed by money in her surgical choices. Susan’s grandfather must be incredibly lucky!” She made this comment to subtly dismiss any deeper connection between Susan and Mia.

Esteban responded calmly, “Don’t arrange any more blind dates for Susan. I’ll take care of it from now on.”

Mara felt a sudden tightness in her chest, anger flashing in her eyes. She had spent years trying to convince Esteban to give up on Susan. And now, because of Mia, Esteban had a renewed belief in his daughter? She was boiling with fury!

Damn it!

Yet, in her mind, Susan would never measure up to her own daughter, Jada. The Riggs Group was destined to be Jada’s!

Following that, Isabella changed out of her surgical clothes and walked toward the parking lot. Suddenly, she felt dizzy. She stumbled but was caught by strong arms. Looking up, Isabella saw the familiar, comforting face of Andrew. She relaxed immediately and fell asleep.

When Isabella woke up, it was already dark outside.

“Are you awake?” a soft, soothing voice asked from beside her. Turning, Isabella saw Andrew’s caring, handsome face. He handed her a glass of milk, saying, “You’ve been asleep for ten hours. Have some milk, and I’ll get someone to make whatever you like to eat.”

Isabella hadn’t performed such a demanding surgery in a long time, and she felt the toll it took on her body. She nodded, and Andrew helped her sit up to drink the milk.

“Anything is fine,” Isabella said.

“Okay.”

After instructing the servants, Andrew turned back to her, his eyes full of concern. “What happened? Why did you faint?”

“Maybe I’ve just been overworking myself lately,” Isabella said, looking down.

“Take a few days off to rest,” Andrew murmured gently, caressing her cheek. “I’ll stay with you. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Isabella nodded. She observed how tired Andrew looked, noticing the stubble around his mouth. “Haven’t you rested at all?”

“I couldn’t sleep, worried about you. But I’m okay.” Andrew smiled.

It was well past midnight. How could he not be tired? “Why don’t you get some rest? I’m fine,” Isabella said, feeling a warmth in her heart.

“I’d rather stay by your side,” Andrew responded, gazing deeply into her eyes.

Were they going to share the bed? Isabella wondered. Her heart raced as she blinked rapidly. She bowed her head, caught in a tumult of emotions. She was usually slow to open up, but it was clear how caring Andrew was toward her.

“Alright.” Isabella pulled back the quilt, but at the same moment, Andrew said, “I’ll sleep on the sofa after the meal.”

Their words overlapped. They both paused, their eyes meeting, both mirroring surprise. “Alright,” Isabella whispered, quickly releasing her grip on the quilt.

Her cheeks flushed a deep red as she shyly looked down. A small smile played on Andrew’s lips. She looked so endearing.

With a teasing smile, Andrew said softly, “If you really want me to sleep beside you, I might just agree.”

“No, thanks,” Isabella stated firmly. Andrew seemed a bit disappointed. “Why are you so determined?” Isabella bowed her head, avoiding his playful gaze.

The cook swiftly prepared the meal. While eating, Isabella messaged Susan to inquire about her grandfather’s situation. As she had hoped, his condition was stable.

Susan expressed her gratitude, saying, “Isabella, how much did it cost? I’ll cover it.”

Isabella replied, “There’s no need to pay for it. Just focus on taking care of your grandfather.”

Susan persisted, “No, a renowned doctor’s services must be very expensive. I’m earning now; I shouldn’t use your money without reason.”

Isabella explained, “I actually didn’t pay anything. That doctor owed me a favor, and she settled it with this treatment. If you want to thank me, just treat me to dinner!”

Susan said, “Alright, then dinner it is!”

Turning to Andrew, Isabella suddenly asked, “Would you like to have dinner with my friend?”

A flicker of anticipation shone in Andrew’s eyes. Was she going to introduce him to her friend? “Absolutely.”

Isabella then asked Susan, “Can I bring someone along?”

Susan responded, “Sure, who will you bring?”

Isabella said, “My boyfriend.”

Susan was taken aback. “You have a boyfriend? Is it Andrew?”

Isabella was equally surprised. “How did you know?”

Susan said, “I sensed you two had a connection back then. That’s wonderful. Congratulations!” A slight smile played on Isabella’s lips. She was overjoyed.

After the meal, Isabella suggested Andrew go to sleep. Yet, as she lay in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep. Nearby, on the sofa, although it was spacious, Andrew, with his tall and lean frame, had to tuck his legs in, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Isabella watched him for a moment before approaching. She had always known he was attractive, but up close, his features were strikingly handsome—bold eyebrows, a straight nose, and fine, long eyelashes. Truly, he seemed blessed by divine favor.

Her gaze lingered on his lips. The purplish-red, perfectly shaped lips seemed incredibly soft. Without realizing, Isabella found herself touching his lips. They were warm and soft.

Holding her breath, she recalled their previous kisses. She had felt immense comfort from those kisses. Isabella moved closer.

Their breaths gradually intertwined. Her nose almost brushed against his, and she was nearly about to kiss him, but she hesitated. Was it right to kiss him like this, in secret? Isabella began to think about it.

Suddenly, Andrew’s breath turned warm and forceful. As Isabella turned toward him, he grasped the back of her head, and his eyes snapped open. He gazed into her eyes intently with his dark, deep gaze. “Sweetheart, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Before Isabella could respond, her lips were sealed. The fiery, tender invasion swept through her mouth wildly. It was likely their most fervent kiss. Within moments, Isabella melted into Andrew’s embrace.

She felt weak all over and almost turned into a pool of water under his strong attack…

The kiss was long and intense. When Andrew finally released her, she remained dazed, looking up at him with wide, clear eyes.

Andrew’s gaze held a deeper desire as he said in a low, sexy voice, “Sweetheart, if you keep tempting me like this, I might not be able to resist.” He never considered himself a patient man, but he always tried to be cautious around Isabella. She was still so young, and he didn’t want to overwhelm her.

Realizing what had happened, Isabella flushed. “How did I tempt you?” she retorted, both shyly and indignantly. It was he who couldn’t control himself and always made excuses.

Andrew caressed her soft hair and asked in a raspy voice, “You can’t fall asleep?”

“Yeah.”

“How about sleeping in my arms?” Andrew offered, his eyes soft and inviting.

Isabella couldn’t say no and found herself wrapped in Andrew’s arms. The sofa was narrow to begin with, and with both of them on it, space was even tighter. Her body pressed against his, and she could feel the hardness of his muscles. Curiously, she poked at his arm. “You’ve been working out at the gym for a while, haven’t you?”

Andrew saw her innocent look and had to restrain himself. Did she not realize that her actions made it difficult for him to keep his composure? He drew her in closer, leaving no room for movement. In a low voice, he said, “Don’t move. Just try to sleep.”

His embrace was comforting, and Isabella complied, shutting her eyes. She felt especially secure in his arms and quickly drifted off to sleep.

The night passed peacefully. Dawn broke as usual. Isabella slowly stirred, feeling an uncomfortable pressure against her leg. She frowned slightly and muttered, “Why didn’t you take off your belt for sleep?”

She reached out to unfasten Andrew’s belt, assuming it must be uncomfortable. But as she moved her hand, he caught it. Andrew gradually opened his eyes, roused by her movements. His eyes were still heavy with sleep, his voice rough and enticing from just waking up. “What’s wrong?”
