Chapter 310
You must’ve misheard. The miracle doctor Isn’t here today, I swear.”
Demetria looked at Trina suspiciously. The former was confident she had gotten the right news. “If the doctor isn’t here today, when will they drop by?”
“I–I’m not sure about that.”
“Is that so?” Demetria smiled and added, “That’s okay. Since we’re here, we might as well stick around. It’s almost lunchtime, so why don’t we join you?”
“Um…” Trina grew worried again.
Demetria knew something seemed unusual about her future daughter–in–law. Trina was undoubtedly hiding something. If not, she would not behave so strangely.
Demetria questioned, “What’s wrong? Is this how your family treats their guests? Don’t be cheapskates and refuse to cook a meal for us.”
“No, no, that’s not it. It’s just-”
“Just what? I’ve had enough of you. If the doctor isn’t around, I’ll just talk to your mom,” Demetria said as she walked past Trina.
The latter realized her future mother–in–law was about to enter the house and tried to block
her. However, Hadwin stopped Trina and said, “What’s wrong, Trina? Why do I feel you don’t want us to go inside? Are you hiding something?”
He also noticed something amiss with Trina.
“That’s preposterous. What do I have to hide?”
“All right, I believe you. Come on, let’s go inside together.” Hadwin chased after his mother.
Meanwhile, cold sweat covered Trina’s forehead.
‘Oh, no! What do I do now?”
When Demetria and Hadwin reached the living room, no one was around to greet them.
The latter asked, “Where is everyone?”
Demetria gazed upstairs at Harold’s room and said, “If my assumptions are correct, the
doctor should be treating Harold now. The whole family should be in his room.”
thought Trina said the doctor isn’t here today.
After some thought, Demetria responded, “Trina’s trying to hide something from us.”
What do you think she’s trying to hide?”
guess we’ll find out.”
When Trina entered the living room, the mother and son were upstairs. They opened Harold’s room door, and Hadwin’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is that possible?! Wait,
what?”
At that moment, Bonnie was administering acupuncture to Harold while the rest of the Shepards huddled around his bed. Suddenly, Hadwin remembered calling off his engagement to Bonnie. He also remembered the countless times he looked down on her.
Demetria covered her mouth and gasped, exclaiming, “I–I can’t believe Bonnie’s the world- renowned miracle doctor! That’s impossible!”
Simultaneously, the older woman understood why Trina tried to stop her and her son from entering. The latter did not want them to learn about Bonnie’s identity as the miracle doctor. Trina feared Hadwin would ditch her and choose to marry Bonnie instead.
Gresham and Vera also felt concerned when they saw the mother and son’s expressions. The former duo felt uneasy for Trina.
When Bonnie finished the treatment, she stood up and prepared to leave. However, Hadwin stood before her and questioned, “Hold it, Bonnie! Are you really the miracle
doctor?”
Bonnie looked at him and responded casually, “What do you think?”
“Y–You are the miracle doctor! Why didn’t you tell me earlier ?!” Hadwin was
immense regret.
