Chapter 51 The realization

The realization hit Timothy like a jolt. He blinked, stunned, his thoughts spiraling.Who was this young woman, watching one of the world's foremost neurosurgeons as if she were the authority in the room?Could it be possible that she was more skilled than Jacob himself? And yet...Why had no one heard of her? If someone that gifted had entered the field, especially someone so young, the medical world would be buzzing with her name. But there was nothing. No whispers, no papers, no recognition.Timothy’s brow tightened as he studied the pair again.Jacob wasn't just glancing at Amelia. He was deferential.The more Timothy tried to piece it all together, the more his thoughts unraveled. Nothing made sense. Whoever Amelia truly was, one thing had become undeniable, she wasn't just another observer. There was a gravity about her, a presence that demanded caution.Timothy wasn't alone in sensing this. Around the operating room, the rest of the surgical team had picked up on it too, the subt

Chapter 52 Deduct it

“I’m sorry about that," the driver continued. "A car swerved into our lane earlier. I had to dodge it, so…”“No worries. As long as we're safe," Amelia cut in gently, her voice steady and reassuring.She turned her gaze toward Lucas, casually asking, "How about you? Are you doing alright?"“Yes. I’m fine," he replied tersely, his face straight. His ears tingled with heat, and a lingering warmth colored his face.Determined to hide it, he adopted an intentionally distant demeanor. He hated to admit it, but he felt oddly hollow when she pulled away.“It's a good thing the driver reacted so quickly. That was impressive," Amelia said sincerely.The driver's face reddened modestly.“You're too gracious, Miss Brown."The driver opened his mouth to speak further but fell silent when Lucas’ icy glance met his in the rearview mirror. The jolting maneuver earlier hadn't disturbed Lucas, but now an unmistakable irritation shadowed his expression.Could jealousy be simmering beneath his composed e

Chapter 53 The shares

Lucas wasted no time. His lips barely moved as he answered, "I'll deduct it from your paycheck."“Works for me," Amelia replied, not missing a beat.He adjusted his cuffs, mind already drifting back toward the office. "I have to get to the office. I'll head out."She fell in step beside him. "Sure. I'll walk you out."Then, without thinking, she asked, "Did you have breakfast yet?"“Not yet," He answered, his voice clipped and face still unreadable. But beneath that frosty exterior, a spark of longing flickered, so faint that it was almost invisible.At his side, his thumb traced a slow, unconscious circle against his forefinger, the only hint of his quiet anticipation.Amelia flashed an easy smile and suggested casually, "I haven't had anything to eat, either. How about we grab some breakfast together before heading to the office?"Lucas came to an abrupt halt. "Alright."The smile on her face faltered for a second. Before she even realized what was happening, Lucas was already turnin

Chapter 54 Shift the blame

"Let me go, Damian," Sophia whispered, her voice trembling, her eyes shimmering with tears, her acting skills shining through.“No." Seeing her look so fragile, so unjustly treated, sent a pang through Damian’s chest.With aching tenderness, he reached out to wipe away her tears.“Damian..." Sophia’s voice trembled as she looked up at him, eyes glistening with gratitude and false vulnerability.But the scene was shattered by Howard’s roar. "Enough! Get out of my sight. Now!"Sophia froze, her hands curling into tight fists at her sides. How dare this old fool humiliate her like this?Damian’s frustration erupted. He turned toward Howard, face flushed, his voice rising. "Why are you always so unfair to Sophia?" Then, with a sharp turn, his glare fell on Amelia. "Is it because she's been poisoning your mind? Whispering lies to turn you against Sophia?"Howard’s fury boiled over. With a resounding slam, his palm struck the bedside table. "Watch your mouth, Damian!" He snapped. "Not everyo

Chapter 55 Dr Gates

“Amelia, I know you care about Mr. Wright’s well-being," Sophia interjected gently, her words calculated to smear Amelia’s reputation. "But you're not related by blood. Isn't it a bit much to forbid his grandchildren from visiting him?”“Look at her…just another greedy outsider trying to grab the Wright family's property!" Eve exclaimed with a curl of her lip. "Leaving her alone with my grandpa is just giving her more time to fill my his head with poison."Amelia shot Eve a look of pure contempt, as if she were staring at an idiot. "You'll only continue to piss Howard off with these absurd words. Just remember this, if something happens to him, it won't do you any good, but it might just work out in my favor."Eve went stiff, her face twisted in bewilderment. "W-What's that supposed to mean?"Damian’s brows drew together as he stared at Amelia. "What exactly are you up to?" Just being in the same room as her seemed to set him on edge.“Amelia, you wouldn't really hurt Mrs. Wright just

Chapter 56 Her own merits

At that moment, Damian spoke up. "Dr. Gates, were you invited here by Amelia?"He was trying to steer the conversation and fish for answers. If Amelia had indeed invited Jacob here, maybe there was still hope to salvage the situation. Perhaps he could even seize the opportunity to build a connection.“That's right," He replied coolly, his sharp eyes scanning Damian. The tone Damian mentioned Amelia…was there something between them?Eve, Damian, and Sophia stiffened in shock at Jacob’s words.Amelia had actually invited Jacob!Damian was the first to recover. He let out a quiet breath, slightly relieved. Maybe this wasn't such a disaster after all. If he played it right, this could work in his favor, even though he lost the bet. He stepped forward.“My grandfather’s been sick, and Amelia’s been doing everything to take care of him. She is an amazing wife. I'm truly grateful for everything she's done for my family..."Jacob’s brows knit together. Wife? Amelia had never said she was marri

Chapter 57 Flushed cheeks

“Merits?" Eve scoffed with an icy laugh.“She's just a housewife who only knows how to scrub dishes. She's not even in your league."Sophia offered a soft smile. "Amelia’s actually a great racer, isn't she? Didn't she win a championship once? I think that's pretty impressive."“Impressive?" Eve snorted. "Please. She probably slept with the race track owner to rig the competition. No way she earned that title fair and square."Damian stiffened. Her words dragged his mind back to that very competition, the image of Amelia, poised and fierce, a far cry from the quiet, unremarkable woman he thought he knew. The memory lingered, unshakable.“Sophia!" Eve’s tone sweetened as she hooked her arm through Sophia’s with affection. "Didn't you always dream of becoming a fashion designer?"Sophia tilted her head. "Yes, I did. Why?"“I just heard something exciting," Eve said, lowering her voice like she was sharing a secret.“The Madrigal Group is about to launch a fashion design competition. First

Chapter 58 The scent

The faint scent of wine lingered on her breath, mixing with her natural fragrance into something delicate, intoxicating.Maybe it was the wine on her breath, or maybe something more, but Lucas felt lightheaded, his breathing unsteady. Her skin glowed under the light, and up close, every feature of her face seemed impossibly beautiful.He couldn't tear his eyes off her.Thump. Thump.Amelia couldn't tell whose heartbeat echoed louder, hers or his, but one thing was certain:Lucas looked devastatingly dashing up close. "Has anyone ever told you how ridiculously handsome you are?" she asked with a playful smile, her voice low and unguarded.Lucas didn't answer right away. His expression remained stoic, lips pressed into a firm line as he gazed at her.“Why the poker face all the time? Come on, smile a little," She teased, lifting a hand and gently poking the corner of his mouth.The edge of Lucas’ mouth lifted into a faint smile.“There it is. You look even better when you smile," Amelia

Chapter 59 Lost her balance

Her father’s voice came again, softer now, threaded with hope. "Magda, is that really you?"Emotion overwhelmed her at last, and a sob slipped past her lips.Noise crackled on the other end, Magda’s mother's voice rang out, trembling with shock and excitement. "Magda? Is it really you, sweetheart? Did our Magda finally call?"Tears thickened Magda’s voice as she struggled to answer. "Yes, it's me. I'm so sorry."Regret weighed heavy in her father’s reply. "No, my dear, I'm the one who owes you an apology."Sobs broke up her words, but she insisted, "It wasn't your fault. I was being stubborn."Urgency cut through as Magda’s mother jumped in, her question breathless.“Magda, where are you right now? Are you in Haleigh?"“No, I'm in Critport. Once Aiden gets better, we'll transfer him to a hospital in Haleigh," Magda replied, wiping her cheeks.Their surprise echoed down the line. "Aiden?"“Yes," Magda replied gently. "My son's name is Aiden. Your grandson."Stunned silence lingered for

Chapter 60 Pure reflex

A startled yelp slipped from her lips.“Ah!"Just then, Darius turned around, catching sight of her fall, and on pure reflex, he lunged, steadying her before she hit the floor.As Magda tumbled into his arms, her faint, alluring scent made him freeze, his brows knitting. There was something hauntingly familiar about that fragrance.Darius’ brow tightened subtly. That faint, elegant scent tugged his mind backward, five years into the past.Back then, during an overseas mission, he had been ambushed, wounded, drugged, and feverish. That night blurred into chaos and ended with a woman. When he came to, she was gone. No name. No trace. It felt like a dream, one that dissolved with the morning light.Between the injury, the fever, and the drugs in his veins, his memory had been a complete haze. Her face, her voice, everything was lost. All that lingered was her scent. That soft, refined fragrance that clung to her skin like a whisper.He had searched for her ever since. Quietly. Desperately
