“For me? Does she not realize I’m already seeing someone? She knew that and still pressured me into marrying her. That’s what you call love?” Andrew said with a bitter laugh.
The crowd cast Jada glances filled with mixed emotions. Why did it seem like something was off?
Soren fell silent, unable to defend Jada any longer.
Jada suddenly burst out, “Andrew, I understand you’re furious with me, but I’ve loved you since I was a child, and it’s grown into an obsession. I’m so sorry. I sincerely apologize. I swear I won’t repeat this in the future.” This was Jada’s only option. If she kept pestering Andrew, it would only push him further away.
“So, because of your obsession, you tried to steal another woman’s boyfriend?” Andrew asked, his voice dripping with irritation. “Jada, you really have a way about you. Just get lost!”
Jada’s face went even more ashen. This was the first time Andrew had spoken to her with such harshness. It was clear he genuinely despised her. Jada had no option but to leave with Mara.
Once she was outside the hospital and in her car, the gentle, sorrowful look on her face vanished, replaced by chilling bitterness and cold rage.
Mara was taken aback by the look on Jada’s face. Grasping Jada’s hand, she said, “We made a mistake this time. We didn’t realize the lab belonged to Andrew.”
Jada’s reflection in the window mirrored her icy, terrifying expression. She wouldn’t back down.
“Jada, Andrew…” Mara hesitated, studying Jada’s face before continuing with a heavy sigh, “He’s not a simple man. I think we should consider other options. There are plenty of promising young men in Ansport.” Jada was determined not to give up easily.
She and Mara had played the roles of good cop and bad cop in an attempt to force Andrew into marrying Jada. However, their plan had backfired, turning them into subjects of ridicule. It was clear that Andrew’s capabilities and strategies were far more formidable than they had anticipated.
“But now, the most eligible bachelors are Andrew and Dane, and Andrew is with Isabella, while that bitch Susan is with Dane. If Susan and Dane end up marrying and their relationship grows stronger, we will lose our standing in the Riggs family!” Jada yelled. If she couldn’t have Andrew, she wanted Dane, but Susan had tainted Dane’s appeal for her.
“Things can change,” Mara said optimistically. “How could they marry so easily? By the way, what about Norton from the Santos family? He’s also a good choice!” Mara added suddenly. “And isn’t he fond of you? The Santos family is nearly as powerful as Andrew’s family.”
Jada’s spirits soured at the mention of Norton. Yes, Norton was a good choice, but he had a girlfriend now. Determined, she decided to find out who his girlfriend was. She was confident that she could win Norton over if she set her mind to it.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, things were awkward after Jada left.
Belen was troubled, her perception of Jada shattered. “Boss, I’m really sorry. I made a mistake,” Belen said softly.
Andrew’s face remained stern. “You gave Jada an unfinished version of the medicine. If someone uses it, it could be disastrous.”
“I understand,” Belen replied, tears slipping down her cheeks. “But my intentions were good. We all respect you and hope you’d be with someone as remarkable as you are. We looked into Isabella, but she doesn’t seem exceptional.”
Isabella was taken aback. Was it really appropriate to criticize her to her face?
Andrew, holding Isabella close, said firmly, “In my eyes, she’s perfect. Who are you to question my choice?”
Belen’s lips tightened; she was clearly unconvinced. Isabella, looking at Belen, said, “Sometimes, you can’t judge anything by its appearance.”
“What do you mean?” Belen asked, puzzled.
Isabella leaned in and whispered in Belen’s ear, “Everyone has been working hard lately. Thank you for your efforts. You would have received a generous bonus if this hadn’t happened. Belen, you’ve been misled. Don’t judge everything by its appearance. Do you understand?”
When Belen heard the familiar voice, her eyes flew open in shock as she gazed at the young, strikingly beautiful face before her. It was Dr. Mia! Her mind reeled as she realized the truth. She had mistaken Jada for a virtuous person, but in reality, Jada was far from it. Conversely, Isabella, whom she had undervalued, was actually the renowned Dr. Mia. No wonder she said those words!
Belen was taken aback. “I was wrong… Dr. Mia…” Belen stammered. “I misjudged…”
Isabella was caught off guard. Why did Belen say that out loud?
The revelation stunned everyone. Andrew’s gaze fixed on Isabella, and Andrew’s assistant’s excitement was palpable. Isabella was Dr. Mia. It all made sense now. No wonder she had been absent recently—she had been occupied with developing the medicine for Damari.
Realizing that everyone had overheard, Isabella decided to come clean. She stood straight and admitted, “Yes, I am Dr. Mia.”
The assistant, buzzing with excitement, exclaimed, “Miss Patton, you’re incredible! Dr. Mia has always been my idol. Could I have your autograph?” Isabella smiled and nodded.
The corridor fell into stunned silence.
Dr. Mia? Who was she?
To some, the name meant little, but not everyone was in the dark. Soren’s eyes widened as realization dawned on him. Dr. Mia was a nationally renowned physician known for her discretion and elusive nature. Could it really be true? Was Isabella truly Dr. Mia? Was that possible?
How old was she?
“Soren, what’s all the fuss about? Is Dr. Mia?” someone asked, confused.
With a thoughtful expression, Soren explained, “Dr. Mia is famously known as the leader of the Lambert family.”
Indeed, it was she who had performed the miraculous treatment.
Years ago, the head of the Lambert family had fallen victim to a mysterious illness, one that left everyone convinced he was living on borrowed time. Yet, against all odds, Dr. Mia had treated him, and not only had he survived, but he had thrived for years afterward, defying all expectations.
“I know about her. The doctor is brilliant, no doubt, but isn’t she supposed to be quite old by now?” A flicker of fear crossed the man’s face.
Andrew’s assistant glanced his way, unable to hold the truth back. “Miss Patton is an incredible woman. It was she who helped us develop the medicine for Mr. Klein’s condition this time! Jada could never measure up to her!”
Andrew’s relatives exchanged glances, but none dared to utter a word. Dr. Mia was a renowned physician, admired by many. Countless people sought to stay in her good graces—after all, illness spares no one.
“Oh, my God! How could we have been so blind to be duped by Jada?” Soren was the first to speak, his voice laced with astonishment. “She’s so young, yet so ruthless! Isabella, I’m so sorry!”
“Yes, Miss Patton, we were all acting with our family’s best interests at heart. We didn’t realize Jada was nothing but a deceitful fraud.”
“Don’t worry. We will have your back from now on.”
The relatives’ attitude shifted in an instant as they began to fawn over Isabella.
The assistant looked on with disdain. These people were nothing but fickle, their loyalties shifting with the tide. Just then, the doctor emerged, sweat glistening on his brow but a relieved smile on his face. “After we administered the medicine, Mr. Damari Klein’s condition has significantly improved.”
“Really? That’s wonderful news!” The relatives buzzed with excitement.
The doctor nodded reassuringly. “Don’t worry. He’ll be just fine.”
After finishing his sentence, the doctor fixed Andrew with an expectant stare. “Mr. Klein, could you share where this medicine actually came from?”
Glancing over at Isabella, Andrew responded, “It’s from our lab.”
“Really? That’s fantastic. Is this medicine from your lab available for purchase by the hospital? We have some patients who desperately need it developed, so it would be available for sale.”
“However, there might be a chance in the future.”
“Thank you, Mr. Klein!” The doctor beamed with excitement. This was a monumental leap in medical history! He could hardly fathom the number of lives that might be saved because of this breakthrough.
Damari had pulled through successfully, and now all the relatives were eager to see him. Andrew’s tone was cold and firm as he said, “Please, give him some space. Grandpa has just woken up and doesn’t have much energy.”
Noting the sternness in his expression, everyone reluctantly agreed. “Alright.” One by one, they filed out.
Isabella and Andrew entered the ward. Damari looked noticeably better, and his heartbeat had stabilized. Andrew took a seat beside the bed, gently holding Damari’s hand. His usual vigilance was replaced by a palpable sense of relief.
Isabella noticed Andrew’s reddening eyes. How could he not be anxious? Damari was his only family. Andrew might seem aloof, but he was a warm-hearted soul. Sitting beside him, Isabella took his hand in hers and said softly, “Damari is doing well. He’ll live a long life.”
“Yes,” Andrew nodded and turned his gaze to Isabella. His dark eyes, brimming with profound affection, spoke volumes. “Isabella, thank you for all your hard work these past few days.”
“As long as Damari is okay, all the effort these days has been worth it,” Isabella said softly.
Andrew pulled her into a heartfelt embrace. “Thank you.”
In that moment, he felt a profound sense of gratitude to God for bringing Isabella into his life. Without her, he couldn’t fathom what might have happened.
Isabella held him gently, her voice a comforting whisper. “I will always be with you.”
“I know.”
“You two look so good together.” A hoarse, aged voice came from the side, accompanied by a hint of a smile. Isabella turned and saw that Damari had opened his eyes!
“Are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort?” Isabella asked immediately.
“I feel much better,” Damari said with a smile. He could sense his strength gradually returning.
