The atmosphere turned awkward all of a sudden. There was a subtle yet palpable hint of tension.


    Julien’s eyes gradually widened, as if he had heard something that wounded his ego deeply. His face


    contorted and flushed red. After a prolonged pause, he finally eximed, “Huh?”


    “I think you’ve stayed too long in Mosgravia, Dr. Lovce. It must be difficult for you to understand


    Snian now. Do you want me to exin it in Grunndish for you?”


    A sharp glint shed in Alyssa’s eyes, her smile carrying a sense of subtle pressure.


    Women hardly disyed such a smile.


    It exuded the arrogance of a person of great power and the unyielding confidence of a man. The sheer


    Intimidation of it weighed so heavily that it shackled Julien’s carefree spirit like a ball and chain.


    “Are you saying I didn’t want to take Jasper as a patient because I can’t heal him? Is that what you’re


    implying?” Julien retorted through gritted teeth.


    “I don’t see any other exnation.” Alyssa shrugged.


    “Pah! What a joke!”


    Julien mmed the table furiously. “I think you haven’t been abroad long. Ms. Taylor. You have no ideal


    bow h


    of a name I am in Mosgravia. I am more famous than Dr. White. I have solved countlessplicated


    medical cases and pulled people back from the clutches of death. Even Hades owes me a drink by


    now. How dare you question my professional skills? This is preposterous!”


    Alyssa


    smiled and said nothing. She quietly observed how he lost his cool.


    Then, it was as if Julien had an epiphany. He got up, leaned back, and squinted his eyes. He looked at


    her teasingly. “Phew, I almost fell for your trick, Ms. Alyssa. I must give it up to you. You have some


    tricks up your sleeves, but I am not a superficial man. I will not fall for your tricks.”


    “Sigh, I thought you were a perceptive man, Dr. Lovce. You may proudly say you don’t provide


    services for tycoons. Yet, you must know how reputable Mr. Beckett is among the big businesses in the


    country. He is a household name. He went from being the president of a big corporation to doing


    phnthropy


    has helped with his charity fund. work. I’m sure you are no stranger to the dozens of people he


    “Yet, you still choose to stand by your so-called principles. Don’t you think you’re being too pedantic


    and not keeping up with the times?”


    Alyssa surprised herself with what she said. After being divorced for so long, she could still praise


    Jasper


    Putting rtionships aside, Jasper was excellent in management. If rtionships weren’t the topic at


    hand, he was practically perfect.


    Otherwise, Alyssa wouldn’t have loved him for so many years without burning out. After all, a woman.


    would never be able to turn away from a man she respected and was grateful for.


    Alyssa had these feelings for Jasper, so she stayed ignorant for 13 years.


    “Ms. Taylor, there is no point persuading me.”


    Her persuasion moved Julien. Yet, he was stubborn.


    “No matter what you say, I will not budge. The fact that your brother kidnapped and brought me back


    here had lost you any room to talk to me about this. You didn’t even have the decency to respect others


    because of your money and power.

    “I will buy my flight to head back. I will call the police if you try to stop me.


    As Julien walked away, Alyssa sipped her tea gently. Then, she said lightly, “Sigh, I thought you were


    our only hope, Dr. Lovce. Even Dr. White couldn’t help. Well, if that’s the case..”


    “Who? Who did you say?” Julien aggressively stopped in his tracks. His face was riddled with shock.


    “Dr. White.”


    “Did you say Dr. White was attending to Jasper? What was that senior doctor doing?” Julien couldn’t


    help but sigh


    “Senior doctor? Don’t insult her. Dr. White is nowhere close to being old.” The calm and collected


    Alyssa was upset at hisment and mmed the table hard.


    “I was being respectful. Dr. White is my idol.”


    Julien’s face was filled with awe as he mentioned Dr. White. “I’ve not met the senior doctor, but she has


    an elegant demeanor. Even her voice and smile are perfect to me.”


    Alyssa was rendered speechless.


    “Moreover, it would require any of us in the medical field three decades to reach the level of expertise


    Dr. White possesses and perform such high-profile surgeries. What’s wrong with simply referring to her


    as a senior doctor?”
