“What a coincidence, me too.”
Two stunning beauties sat quietly on the bench, admiring the blooming flowers in the distance. A gentle
breeze brushed past, causing the flowers to sway and releasing a delicate floral scent into the air.
“Shall we have lunch together?”
“Do you want to grab lunch together?”
Simultaneously, they spoke and exchanged smiles upon hearing each other’s words.
“Should we exchange numbers first?”
“Of course.”
Esther agreed, and Xara checked the time on her phone. “I still have a patient. It should be finished by
11: 30 a.m. Meet me in the garden, and we can decide where to have lunch.”
“Okay.”

In the hospital, Wilson and others were working tirelessly to save Liliane.
Upon learning about Liliane’s condition, Bradley promptly arranged for Scott, a doctor from his hospital,
to assist in the rescue efforts.
Scott swiftly entered the operating room and joined Wilson in the mission to save Liliane’s life.
Leah stood anxiously outside the operating room, overwhelmed by feelings of nervousness, fear, and
panic. Negative emotions swarmed her heart like ants, gnawing at her from within.
“Liliane’s condition has suddenly deteriorated…”
A hidden ruthlessness flickered in her eyes as Leah absorbed the caregiver’s words. She couldn’t help
but blame everything on Bradley. In her mind, he was the source of all the misfortune.

Felix and not marry her. You agreed to that as well.
“And now, you’re pressuring me for marriage? Do you believe that now, with Felix in the picture, you
have something to hold over me?”
Bradley’s words dripped with venom, revealing his icy and heartless nature.
Leah finally realized that the man standing before her had no compassion.
Five years ago, he had willingly sent the pregnant Esther to prison!
And now, five years later, he could witness the death of his own daughter without remorse!
Hatred surged within Leah like tidal waves, but she suppressed her anger and pleaded meekly, “Mr.
Warner, could you please consider having a pretend wedding with Liliane and fulfill her dream?”
