Chapter 1314
Austin widened his eyes. He wanted to dodge, but his legs were rooted to the ground. Hence, he stood
frozen in place.
Slam!
Maria knocked Austin to the ground. She did not think she would trip over her heels as well, and her
body was leaning forward as she lost control over it. Her arms were wide open, and she crashed into
Austin entirely.
"Mr. Fike? Mr. Fike, are you alright?" She hurried to get up, but it only made her press down on him
even more.
Austin was gritting his teeth by now, and with all his strength, he shoved Maria away. He lifted himself
off the floor and brushed the dust off his clothes as he yelled in rage, "Who the h*ll are you?! Are you

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Maria felt awkward and embarrassed. Initially, she wanted to show her
sincerity toward Austin, but she almost crushed him to death.
"Mr. Fike, I didn't fall on you on purpose. I tripped right there, and look how my heels are broken. I..."
As Maria explained herself, she stretched her leg out to show him, afraid he would not trust her words.
Austin was beyond furious at this point. His elbow and back were hurting, and he took a few steps back
fervently upon seeing what she was about to do. "Don't come near me! Leave me alone!"
Maria froze in her spot upon getting reprimanded. "Mr. Fike, I’ve been waiting for you. It's been two
days! I finally saw you after two days, and I was just too excited to see you! I'm really sorry for what just
happened!"
'Two days?" Austin put two fingers up and asked in surprise, "You said you waited two days for me
here?"
'Yeah!" She nodded quickly, thinking that her actions had touched the miracle doctor's heart. "I called
you before this, but you... were too busy, so
I had to come here to wait for you. Well, I have something really important to ask of you. My niece..."
"Wait. You waited here for two days just to see me?" Austin interjected, obviously hearing nothing else
she said besides the fact that she stayed out here for that long.
"Y-Yes!" Maria was stunned because Austin did not look pleased.
Not only was he displeased, but he was also slightly afraid. ’What the f*ck? She waited out there for
two days just to see me? If her intention is to kill me, I'll probably be dead by now. Look at what
happened earlier. What if she had a knife earlier? Even though she didn’t, she almost crushed me to
death. It seems I need to be more careful of my surroundings whenever I go out next time.'
Austin turned to leave, and Maria returned to her senses to catch up with him after a moment. "Mr.
Fike. Mr. Fike..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Stop there!" Austin berated and pointed at her. "Stay away from me!"
"Mr. Fike, my niece is suffering from an incurable disease. I hope you can help her. You can request
anything you want, and we'll be sure to satisfy you. My niece is Secretary Rollins' daughter. If you can
cure her disease, you can have anything from fame to wealth!"
Maria said it in a hurry, hoping to convince him. "Or you can tell me what you want! We can talk about
it!”
She did not expect it to be this difficult to deal with the miracle doctor. If it were not for her husband’s
career and sake, her family, and the fact that Cameron would be indebted to them, she would not have
to suffer.
Austin abruptly stopped and turned back to ask, "I can ask for anything?"
Seeing as there was still hope, Maria nodded in delight. 'Yes, of course! My family is rich and influential.
Mr. Fike, you..."
"I want you to stay the h*ll away from me. Can I ask for that?"
Maria was stunned.
