When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 430 Ashley couldn't quite grasp it. Was there something scandalous about theeting with Dr. Genevieve? "Harry, why?" Ashley inquired.

Harry couldn't reveal the valid reason to Ashley.

He fabricated a pretext, "If word got out and people thought we were acquainted with Dr. Genevieve, they might start leaning on us to reach out to her in the future, which could stir up unnecessary trouble." Ashley didn't press further. Her primary concern was her health, so she let the matter drop.

Back in Shyran, Harry promptly dialed the contact information left by Dr. Genevieve. He assumed that although he hadn't met the doctor in person yet.. he would soon hear her voice, giving him a preliminary insight into her character-whether she was young or old, male or female.

However, Harry felt that Dr. Genevieve was unlikely to be young. They must be well into their fifties, he suspected.

Harry's thoughts drifted off if Gabriel were to uncover the whereabouts of Dr. Genevieve in Shyran, then Harry would have no choice but to...

Deal with Dr. Genevieve directly, ending any future troubles and ensuring Gabriel's chances of recovery are eliminated. Then Harry could finally have peace of mind.

But the voice on the other end of the phone wasn't human. It was a cold, robotic prompt.

*Mr. Jackson, please proceed to..." A mechanical female voice provided Harry with an address.

Without hesitation, Harry ushered Ashley into the car.

During the drive, Ashley's emotions fluctuated. Despite her recent misfortune, she considered herself somewhat fortunate. The elusive Dr. Genevieve had been absent for years and had unexpectedly been contacted. Perhaps she could soon regain her health and even conceive a child under Dr. Genevieve's care. Ashley took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief. Gently caressing her abdomen, she reassured herself that everything would be alright After a while, another notification buzzed on the phone, directing them to a new destination with the mechanical female voice. Harry couldn't quite grasp Dr. Genevieve's intentions. Was she playing smysterious game? Nevertheless, he patiently followed the instructions to the new location. After nearly circling half of Norwood, Harry finally received the last address: the Imperial Gardens.

Harry felt a growing headache with each car turn while Ashley dozed off in the passenger seat.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Harry gently roused Ashley. "Wake up, Ashley. It's tto see the doctor." Ashley slowly opened her eyes.

Hearing Harry's tender voice, she felt she was transported back to her childhood when Harry would comfort her when she was sick. That was before her parents' separation..

Feeling a pang of sadness, Ashley pushed aside her thoughts and stepped out of the vehicle.

"Be careful" Harry said, concem evident in his voice. Even with the bodyguards around, he wanted to ensure her safety, extending a hand to guide her toward the mansion.

Upon entering the VIP suite, Harry stepped into a room where a figure sat behind an unfolded screen. it was a woman bearing a strikingly familiar aura, yet her face remained hidden by the screep.

1/2 23:38 Wed, 12 Jun Chapter 430 As Harry pondered whether he had encountered this mysterious healer before, he couldn't shake the urgency of the situation concerning Ashley's treatment. With a measured tone, he addressed the woman, “Ma'am, are you Dr. Genevieve? Is there a particular reason for concealing your identity?" Despite his inner turmoil, Harry exercised restraint, recognizing that Ashley's fate rested solely in this woman's hands.

Yet.

there was was only silence from behind the screen.

Observing the lingering presence of his bodyguards, Harry gestured for them to depart discreetly. As they exited and closed the door behind them, Harry couldn't help but feel a growing impatience. He wondered why Dr. Genevieve maintained such an air of mystery, especially if she was the renowned healer they sought.

"Dr. Genevieve, now that we're alone, can you attend to my daughter?" Harry's patience wore thin as he spoke. He had invested a lifetof patience into this encounter with Dr. Genevievel As the figure behind the screen rose and stepped forward, Ashley couldn't shake the feeling that Dr. Genevieve might be mute. The silence lingered, making her wonder if they hadn't shown enough respect. However, when Ashley caught sight of Dr. Genevieve's true face, shock overtook her. It felt like the ground was giving way beneath her feet, for Dr. Genevieve was none other than Gina! Ashley struggled to believe it, instinctively wanting to step back. Meanwhile, Harry, equally taken aback, reached out to steady Ashley as she seemed on the verge of faltering With an indifferent expression, Gina greeted them, “Hello.” Harry grappled with the situation. "Gina, you... are you Dr. Genevieve? No, that's impossible. How could you? You dare to impersonate Dr. Genevieve and play games with us! Don't think Gabriel's protection will shield you from crossing our boundaries like this!" Ashley was on the verge of collapse. Unconcerned about how Gina might report her outburst to Gabriel, she erupted, dragging her weakened body forward. "Gina, you're despicable! Do you find it amusing to play these games with us? Leading us on a wild goose chase with that Al voice to toy with our emotions? My body is fragile now, and you want my life, don't you? You wicked woman! Lettell you, if I die because of you, I'll haunt you to the ends of the earth!" "And you know what? I believe it was your scheming that caused the miscarriage of my child. Gina, we're sworn enemies for life!" Ashley was emotionally shattered-her only desire was to confront Gina and tear her apart, to release the immense anger in her heart.

Gina remained composed. "I am not Dr. Genevieve. Then who is? Feel free to search for another Dr. Genevieve in this world if you wish." "And by the way, if you don't want treatment, you can leave. But the consultation fee won't be refunded; consider it my appearance fee" Gina chuckled. Her appearance fee was indeed substantial.

Harry almost had a heart attack. They had paid a consultation fee of 100 million dollars before coming here. While he didn't mind spending money on Ashley's health, giving it away for nothing to Gina? That was something he couldn't accept.
