Audrey's POV
“That will be all,” Scarlett said, givingone last glance. “I'll be waiting for your good news.”
She smirked and walked toward the elevator, her heels clicking against the floor.
Andrew hesitated for a moment. “Miss Sinclair,” he mumbled before hurrying after Scarlett. | watched him catch
up and offer his arm as they stepped into the elevator together.
Dr. Evans stood in the doorway clutching the fruit bags I'd brought, watching the elevator until the numbers
started changing. Only then did her shoulders relax as she turned towith a smile.
“You didn’t have to bring anything,” she said. “I've been your doctor for months now. Helping you was the right
thing to do.”
“It’s not much,” I said with a small smile.
Dr. Evans sighed and handeda towel. “You're drenched. Did you take the stairs?”
“Yeah,” | admitted, following her inside and sinking onto her sofa. | wiped my face, trying to catch my breath.
“What was Searlett doing here?” | asked, watching Dr. Evans carry the fruit to her kitchen.
Her hands paused briefly. After a moment, she sighed. “It was about her daughter.”
“A parent's worry,” she added vaguely.
My mind flashed to the conversation fragments I'd overheard - something about vegetative patients. Had to be
about Rachel. What else would bring Scarlett to a cancer specialist's apartment?

Dr. Evans pressed her lips together, glancing atwith hesitation.
“Her daughter has... shealth issues,” she finally said. “I can’t really say more.”
I nodded, not pressing further. Dr. Evans sat besideand handeda file from the coffee table.
“Here's information about the doctors coming to New York next week,” she said. “Your myster
arranged it. You should prepare to meet them - they might find a treatment approach for you.”
| opened the file and scanned the first page. My eyes widened at a familiar name.
“Dr. Harrison Clarke?” | gasped.
Dr. Evans looked surprised. “You know Dr. Clarke?”
“Yes! | met him once. We worked together for a while.”

couldn't believe | was seeing his nagain.
“I didn’t know Dr. Clarke researched gastric cancer too. | thought he specialized in vegetative patients.
“He’s been practicing for fifty or sixty years,” Dr. Evans explained. “He’s studied many complex conditions.
Recently he’s focused on vegetative states, working on patient recovery breakthroughs.”
She looked thoughtful. “I'm surprised someone could bring a physician of his caliber here. That's quite a
connection.
| looked down at the file as realization hit me. “Is that why Scarlett Rose cto see you? Because Harrison
Clarke is coming to New York?”
Dr. Evans shook her head. “I can’t say. She didn’t tellmuch.”
She met my eyes directly. “But Andrew Jensen mentioned his client has a new request.”
“What request?” | asked.
Dr. Evans broughta mug of hot water. “His client wants you to have an actual episode.
| took a sip, trying to process her words. “An episode? The client wantsto get sick on purpose?”
“Yes,” Dr. Evans confirmed. “She wants you to show real physical symptoms. It will be more convincing to her
boyfriend.”
“Since she’s faking her symptoms, if your records are also fabricated, they might discover the deception.”
She leaned forward. “But you don’t need to put yourself through that. We could just record sfalse data. The
client would never know.”
| shook my head firmly. “No. This person is bringing in a world-class specialist to help me. That's an incredible
kindness. If she needsto demonstrate real symptoms, | won't deceive anyone.”
