The Brilliant Second Life of Doctor 'Vicious' Harper のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

That night, Harper couldn’t sleep.Her heart had betrayed her—she realized, for the first time, that she might actually have feelings for him.The next morning, she got out of bed sporting dark circles that seemed a shade deeper than usual.She ate breakfast in a daze while Carissa’s endless scolding buzzed in her ears.“Do you know how miserable I was yesterday, all alone? And you—just cared about your Chaser Boy, ignoring me completely…”“Sorry… it’s my fault…”“Harper!” Carissa placed her hands on her hips, voice firm. “Are you some kind of broken record? Why do you keep repeating the same two lines?”“I’m… tired.” Harper’s eyes were glassy, her mind hazy.Carissa’s lips twitched awkwardly as she leaned closer. “You’re a little anemic… and you didn’t get enough sleep

More people gathered outside. Staff reported to Chase that Harper had gone into the restroom and offered to assist, but he refused. Always vigilant, he didn’t want any paparazzi catching a single shot.Soon, Chase himself entered.The scene that greeted him froze him in place.Harper sat in the corner, looking flustered, clutching the torn pieces of her gown.Phoebe, not to be outdone, acted like the victim, a knife lying between them.“What’s going on here?” Chase asked, walking over to help Harper.She looked pitiful as she stood, exposing a glimpse of her chest.Chase’s heart skipped. He immediately pulled her into his arms.His handsome brows knitted slightly, glancing down at her in his embrace, uneasy yet maintaining a calm exterior.Phoebe, still on the floor, was caught off guard, forced to watch the closeness between them, practically swallowing her envy.Chase could feel Har

Harper wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, ears straining to catch any sound outside.Time dragged on, each minute stretching endlessly, and the man remained locked in the bathroom, refusing to emerge.Her eyes felt like they could carve through steel by now.What on earth was he doing in there? Showering for this long?Her mind wandered wildly.Could he have fainted?Impossible—his physique was impeccable…Lost in her overactive imagination, the bathroom door finally opened.Her nerves tightened instantly as she stared at the man stepping out.Chase wore a bathrobe, but he was completely dry—hair included—looking as if he had lingered inside far longer than necessary.This only made Harper more uneasy. He had finished showering, yet refused to come out?Wait—shouldn’t she want him to never come out? Why was she worried now?“You… why did it take so long?”

Back at her apartment, Harper found her best friend, Carissa, absent. Even “Chaser Boy,” the bathtub mascot, was gone.She tried calling Carissa repeatedly, but there was no answer.Sensing something was wrong, Harper immediately checked the calendar on her phone.If memory served, this was the exact time last life when Carissa had left the country without a word.“Carissa! You can’t leave!”Heart pounding, Harper dashed out and headed straight for the airport.What could have caused Carissa to leave so suddenly and without notice? It had always been an unsolved mystery in her previous life.This time, she would uncover the truth.Harper ran through the bustling airport, scanning the crowd frantically, but there was no sign of Carissa.How could she find her in such a massive place?Forcing herself to calm down, Harper began to recall…In her previous life, after Carissa disappeared, all cont

After Harper had accidentally crossed Chase’s line that night, the two hadn’t spoken for days.Inside the grand Gallagher estate,Grandma Gallagher finally caught him at home. Without a word, she locked him in the room and started her interrogation.“Brat, tell me the truth—did you actually fall for that Harper girl?”Chase froze for a second, then leaned close with his signature, lethal smile.“Grandma, do I look blind to you?”But Grandma Gallagher wasn’t one to be fooled. Her sharp gaze studied him carefully. “You haven’t forgotten why our families are marrying, have you?”His face didn’t show a single flicker of emotion—but inside, it felt as if someone had dropped a stone into his chest.He’d heard that same question his entire life.Why the marriage with the Reeves family?For one reason
