At noon.

Vanessa ran into Helen in the cafeteria.

Helen said while eating, “It’s so weird. The patient in Bed 38 hasn’t improved at all and keeps crying out in pain. Her lower body is still bleeding today.”

Normally, patients would recover fromparoscopic surgery within three days. Yet Susanna’s condition hadn’t im- proved at all.

Vanessa let out a derisiveugh. “Her boyfriend is nowhere to be seen, and she stays up crying all night. Of course, it takes forever to recover.”

“I suppose.” Helen frowned. “Gee, I’m so fed up with her-enough whining and sobbing! It’s like she can’t live with- out a man.”

Vanessa was no stranger to Susanna’s antics. She sneered, not saying anything more.

At 5:30 p.m.

Vanessa walked downstairs with her bag.

After days, she could finally get a good night’s sleep.

However, she was stunned as she stepped out of the entrance.

A luxurious Maybach was parked outside, and a tall, slender man was on the phone while leaning against the window.

Nathan?

He was here again.

Why?

It took her only a second before figuring out the answer.

Since Susanna had been recovering slowly, he was probably here to look after her.

She lowered her head and walked outside.

“Vanessa,” he called out to her when she walked past him.

Having no option, she could only stop and force a smile. “Mr. Powell, Ms. Berger is no longer my patient. If you have any concerns, you should go to Dr. Irwin. I’m heading home.”

With this, she walked toward the parking lot on the left.

Nathan’s face turned gloomy at once.

He said icily, “Vanessa, Grandma wants to have dinner with us tonight.”

Hearing this, Vanessa was stunned. Madeline again?

She felt a headacheing on.

She and Nathan still hadn’t shared a bed after years of marriage. Apparently, it had be the Powell family’s major priority.

What Madeline wanted was pretty clear-to create more opportunities for them to be together.

She instinctively wanted to say no, but Madeline’s kindness made it hard for her to let Madeline down. Resigned, she sighed and sat in the car.

Come to think of it, it was the third time Nathan had picked her up.

How “lucky” she was.

Nathan sat behind the wheel and started the car.

Soon, they arrived at Evercrest Vi.

“Mr. Powell, I guess we don’t have to put up an act anymore, right?” She grinned at him the moment he stopped the

car.

He pulled a long face.

Ignoring his reaction, she pushed open the door and was about to step out.

“Vanessa,” he suddenly called out to her.

“Yeah?” She turned around to look at him.

“Did you perform on a critical patient with a heart attack the night beforest?” He seemed aloof and indifferent.

He had wanted to ask her this yesterday, but ended up bringing up Susanna before realizing it, causing her to leave right away.

“Well, well. Mr. Powell, since when do you care about my work? Don’t tell me you’re interested in me now. I’m afraid it’s toote. You’re already tainted. Let’s just go inside and have dinner. I’m so hungry,” she sneered after pausing for

a second.

“You…” Enraged, Nathan let out an arrogant scoff. “Don’t tter yourself. You clung to me for five years, trying so desperately to have my attention, but I didn’t feel a thing for you. And that remains the same. It’s just that someone told me you’re a famous surgeon with great medical skills now, so I wanna know if it’s true.”

“Oh, really? Mr. Powell, perhaps you shouldn’t believe a word they say. I’m just an ordinary doctor,” though her heart stung, she said with feigned casualness while tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

Hearing this, he snorted with disdain, “That’s exactly what I thought. Of course, you don’t get to operate on someone

as important as Mr. Harmand ”

She wasn’t upset Instead, she replied indifferently, “Whatever, Mr. Powell, I’m a doctor, and I save lives. That’s all, I don’t care about what others think of me, Nay whatever you want.”

After saying this, she pushed open the door, stepped out, and headed toward the stairs.
