Love Redux: Fated to the Handsome Doctor のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Lara contemplated the impact of Olivia's threats. But as usual, Olivia was dangerous.That sly woman could never think too deeply or maturely. It was likely that the threat was just an empty one she had concocted.Lara had realized this since their first encounter. Olivia often tried to appear superior to her but ended up in misery.Every job or task that Olivia snatched always failed. Olivia wasn't as smart as Lara."What are you going to do?" Lara challenged, refusing to give in to the situation.Olivia scowled, disbelief flashing across her face at Lara's tough response. Wasn't Lara supposed to obey her? Stubborn!"I'll send those photos to the newspapers. I'll make them viral on social media. I'll make sure your husband has no face left to show!""Lowly whore!" Lara retorted, her voice weak but still sharp. She wanted to shout louder but failed. Her throat was dry. Lara wasn't in good shape."Call me whatever you want! But you'll never know that I'm not joking!" Olivia's voice shri

Andre glanced briefly at Olivia’s thick lips. To him, Olivia wasn’t particularly attractive. He had met much more interesting women, especially his sister.Andre’s sister was a captivating woman who inherited the best genes from their Canadian father. Her blonde hair was natural, unlike Olivia’s fake blonde. No matter how long he studied Olivia’s appearance, nothing captured his attention. Olivia was definitely not his type.“Please step back a little,” he said sharply, starting to feel uncomfortable. Olivia’s overpowering perfume was making his head spin.“Huh?” Olivia stepped back, her demeanor suddenly awkward. This awkwardness hadn’t been present when they first met.“So, what now?” Andre raised an eyebrow. He had heard enough of Olivia’s nonsense, and it was time to end it.It was an extremely disturbing encounter for him.“Have you been working here for long, Doctor?” Olivia asked, fiddling with the ends of her hair blown by the night wind. Her voice sounded somewhat odd, too aff

The next morning, Seno’s words proved to be true. Lara didn’t understand why Seno was so adamant about his unilateral arrangements.“Good morning, Mrs. Lara,” greeted a female doctor with a smile.Lara returned the smile and nodded. Seno patted his wife’s shoulder and cheerfully introduced the new doctor to her.“This is Dr. Miriam Rajapatni, dear. From now on, Dr. Miriam will be your attending physician. Isn’t she great?” Seno said, giving Lara a loving kiss on the temple.Mission accomplished.Lara had no choice but to accept. In fact, she couldn’t refuse!“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Lara. I’m Dr. Miriam,” said the doctor, extending her hand for a handshake. The doctor’s elegant, dominant aura mesmerized Lara. Without hesitation, Lara took the hand and shook it as instructed.“Nice to meet you too, Doctor,” Lara said automatically. Seno looked satisfied. The grip on his shoulder tightened.The doctor moved to Lara’s bedside, once again flashing a smile, and carefully examined her conditi

Meanwhile, Andre had just returned from the wheelchair station, pushing the assistive device to ease Miriam’s movement."Lara..." Andre murmured. How could he run into Lara again? And while he was with Miriam?“Are you back already?” Miriam asked cheerfully. Andre nodded and approached his colleague—though he still hesitated to call Miriam his fiancée.“Careful,” Andre advised, helping Miriam sit properly in the wheelchair he had prepared. If Miriam took a wrong step, the inflammation in her foot would worsen.“Thanks,” Miriam said as she sat down slowly, following Andre’s instructions. It wasn’t in vain that she made a small sacrifice to get Andre’s attention, which he rarely displayed in public. After all, they were supposed to be engaged.“Where did Lara go earlier?” Andre scanned the surroundings. He still wanted to see Lara and talk to her. Maybe by normalizing his presence around her, Andre could gradually mend the rift between them.He didn’t even want anything more.Andre just

“What do you mean, Doctor?” Lara couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was Dr. Miriam really trying to warn her? They had been fine before, hadn’t they?“I—I mean, I hope you don’t get sick again.” Miriam cleared her throat as she tucked away the stray hairs that the evening breeze had messed up. The yellow sky had turned gray. Soon, night would fall.“Oh, alright. Thank you.” Lara didn’t know whether to believe her or not, but there was no point in making things worse. She needed to leave. The evening wind was blowing too hard. She couldn’t afford to catch a cold! She would head home soon.“Would you like me to escort you?” Dr. Miriam offered. Lara gently shook her head.“I have other things to take care of. I’ll call for a nurse later,” the pregnant woman replied with a forced smile. The atmosphere between them grew tense again. Lara didn’t understand why Dr. Miriam’s mood was changing so much.“Alright then.”Lara nodded and took her leave. There was no reason to stay any longer. S
