Chapter 834
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Arnold’s eyes widened, as if he had heard something extremely
hurtful to his self-esteem. His face flushed with anger, and it took
him a moment to respond. “Huh?”
“Dr. Larson, have you been in Meridan for too long that your English has regressed? Do
you want me to translate that into French for you?”
Bella’s beautiful eyes hid a hint of cunning, and her smile carried an
invisible pressure, suppressing Arnold’s free-spirited soul. Few
women could pull off such a commanding smile.
Arnold asked through gritted teeth. “Are you saying that I didn’t
accept him as a patient because I couldn’t cure Justin’s illness? Is that what you’re
implying?”
“Is there any other explanation?” Bella shrugged.
“What a joke!” Arnold slammed the table in frustration. “Ms.
Thompson, have you been out of the country for too long? Don’t you
know that my reputation in Meridan is even greater than that of Dr

Brown? I have solved countless difficult and complicated cases in my medical career, and I
lost count of how many people I have saved
from the brink of death. Even the Grim Reaper takes a backseat when
I’m on duty. Saying my medical skills are not up to par is simply
insulting!”
Bella smiled without saying a word, quietly watching him get angry.
Suddenly, Arnold seemed to catch on. He leaned back, squinting at
her playfully. “Nice try, Ms. Thompson. That’s a nice trick, but I’m not buying it. I won’t fall
for your schemes.”
“You know, Dr. Larson, I always thought you were more open-
minded.” Bella’s tone held a mix of surprise and disappointment. “I mean, despite
claiming that you don’t treat the rich, you should know
that Mr. Salvador isn’t just some rich guy. He’s a well-known figure among the country’s
top entrepreneurs, and he has done a ton of charity work since taking over as the
President of Salvador
Corporation. He has helped countless people through his foundation.
Surely, you’ve heard about all that, right?”
Bella added, “And yet, despite knowing all this, you still stick to your so
-called ‘principles’. Don’t you think you’re being a bit too rigid and
inflexible?”
Even as she spoke, Bella couldn’t help but be surprised by her own
words. It had been years since their divorce, yet she found herself defending Justin without
hesitation.
Setting aside her emotions, it was a fact that Justin was undeniably
skilled. If one were to look past his emotional flaws, he could be said
to be almost perfect.
Otherwise, Bella wouldn’t have silently loved him for so many year
without growing tired. When a woman feels both gratitude and
admiration for a man, there’s no easy way out. Unfortunately for
Bella, she felt both for Justin.
That’s why she has been obsessed for thirteen years.
“Ms. Thompson, it’s pointless no matter what you say,” Arnold insisted, though he seemed
to be swayed by her words. “No matter
what you say, I won’t give in. Just the fact that you used your brother to kidnap me back
from abroad says it all. There is nothing to talk
about between us. You rely on your wealth and power and don’t even
have the most basic respect for other people. I’m booking a ticket
back immediately, and if you dare to stop me, I’ll call the police!”

Just as Arnold was about to leave, Bella calmly took a sip of tea and
sighed softly, “Even Dr. Brown couldn’t solve the problem. I thought
you were our only hope, but now…”
Arnold froze in his tracks, his eyes widening in shock. “Who? Who are you talking about?!”
“Dr Brown.”
“You mean, Dr. Brown is treating Justin? That old doc is so unwise!” Arnold couldn’t help
but sigh.
Bella, who was usually calm and collected, couldn’t contain her
excitement. She slapped the table suddenly and said, “Hey, don’t
insult her like that. Dr. Brown is not old at all!”
“I’m being respectful! Dr. Brown is my idol!” Arnold exclaimed with
admiration. “Although I haven’t seen her in person, in my mind, she’s
perfect in every way.”
Bella remained silent, listening intently.
“In our field, achieving Dr. Brown’s level of expertise and performing numerous high-
profile surgeries would take at least thirty years! So what’s wrong with calling her an old
doctor?”
