Author: Perfect Timing
"What?" Mark asked.

He froze due to shock.

Lorraine's knees weakened, and she almost collapsed; she was held up by the bodyguard beside her.

"Do you mean a genetic disease? That's impossible! The Zimmer family has had perfect genes for eight generations! It's impossible that we have a genetic disease!" Lorraine shouted.

She pointed at me like a crazy woman.

"It was you! It must be you! You jinxed my grandson and passed the sickness onto him!" she said accusingly.

I thought it was ridiculous.

Lucian ignored her hysterical words. He only looked at Mark, who looked awful.

"I've seen a copy of the report from five years ago, Mr. Zimmer. The hereditary allergy gene stated is only a common genetic polymorphism in modern medical terms. It's completely different from a real hereditary disease," Lucian said.

His gaze carried a trace of pity.

    I asked Lucian to use all of his connections.As the director of the Central Hospital, his network spread across the city.Soon, news about the Zimmer family heir abandoning his fiancée over a fake genetic report began to circulate. The upper class of Sea City knew about how his son was suffering from a genetic disease.The story also spread quickly with the testimony from Heath and related evidence attached.The Zimmer Group stock started to plummet.Their business partners began to question the integrity of the Zimmer family.The media also started to cover the incident.I received a call from Mark the next morning."I beg you, Summer. Please stop," he said.His voice was filled with despair."My company's stock has decreased 20 percent. My family will be ruined if this continues," he said.I sneered and asked, "Finally have a taste of your own medicine, Mark? Did you ever think about how I felt five years ago? Did you think about how my life would be ruined when you held

    The hospital hallway finally became quiet after the police took them away.I held Nora, feeling drained.Lucian gently caressed Nora on the head."Nora, let's get your medicine and then go home, okay?" he said.Nora nodded and whispered, "Dad, why did that man try to grab me?""Because he mistook you for someone else, sweetheart," he replied.He picked her up and said, "But it doesn't matter. I will always protect you and your mom."We were about to leave when I heard a familiar voice behind me."Summer Stone?" the person asked.I turned and saw my college classmate, Yuna Woode.She was in a nurse's uniform, so she clearly worked at the hospital."Yuna? Do you work here?" I asked.Yuna walked over, looking a little embarrassed. She said, "I was nearby just now, and I saw everything."She lowered her voice and told me, "Summer, actually, that genetic test report from five years ago…""What is it?" I asked.I had a bad feeling about that.Yuna glanced around to make sure

    Lorraine was shocked.She never expected that the gentle-looking doctor would call the mayor.A respectful voice could be heard from the other end of the phone."Hello, Mr. Lowe! How can I help you?" he asked.Lucian replied calmly, "I ran into a little trouble at the Central Hospital. Someone is causing a scene here and disrupting order at the hospital.""What? Who would dare do that? Don't worry. I'll send someone right away to handle it!" the mayor said.Mark and Lorraine looked dreadful.They finally realized that the man before them was not someone they could mess with.Lucian hung up and looked at them indifferently."You have three minutes to leave. It's out of my control after that," he said, threateningly.Lorraine glared at me with a clenched jaw."Do you think you're so great because you found a rich husband? I'm warning you; we won't let this go!" she said."You're a jinx! You ruined my grandson, and I won't forgive you!" she scolded.I sneered and said, "Let's
