PopularNovelHera asked Catherine and the others to rest in the living room in the western wing. Afterward, she headed to the consulting room
to finish treating the remaining two patients for the day.
After the nurse escorted the last patient out, Hera shut the door to the consulting room before typing out the patient's medical
records on the computer. At that moment, someone knocked on the door before entering.
"I've seen all the patients for the day. I'm not accepting any walk-ins..." Before she could finish speaking, she looked up and saw
Tyler leaning against the door, grinning at her.
Tyler said while glancing at his watch, "I don't just want your thanks. Since it's almost tfor dinner, you should treat me.
Besides, | helped you last night as well, so you owetwice. Let's eat before we go for a drink."
Hera was about to respond when Tyler added, "You get drunk easily, so you don't have to drink. Watchingdrink is good
enough.”
With that, Hera did not reject him. After all, she had something to discuss with him. "Alright, but not tonight. My family is here, so
we'll do this sother day."
"Alright then." Tyler was slightly annoyed.

Suddenly, he recalled something. "Oh right, you should turn off the 'Do Not Disturb" function for my personal number so that | can
contact you anytime."
Hera peered at him suspiciously. "In the past, you never answered my messages. Did you set up a 'Do Not Disturb’ function for my
number?"
How would he have known if he wasn't familiar with the function? He was actually aware that she had set his number under the
"Do Not Disturb" mode.
Tyler uncomfortably cleared his throat and refused to admit anything. "What are you talking about? I'm very busy. How could | have
the tto answer your silly questions every day?"
Hera stared at him suspiciously, clearly not believing a word. In the end, under Tyler's gaze, Hera disabled the "Do Not Disturb"
function on his personal phone number. Only then did he turn to leave with satisfaction.
Hera checked her list of messages and saw Bernard's conversation. His last message was still the voice note from 3:00 am.
How could he even win her over? He was so bad at it.
Meanwhile, the Everetts were chatting in the living room of the western wing. By then, Catherine and Lilith felt much better.
As for Nicholas, he had completed his duty to supervise and entered as well. Unlike his unruly behavior earlier, he obediently sat
on the couch and greeted everyone.
"Mr. Sanderson, thank you for what you did earlier."
Mildred recognized him as the sperson who ordered dog feces and urine to be poured all over Camille. That act alone
solidified his reputation as a spoiled young man across Jedburgh and even the country.
To her, it didn't matter whether he had a terrible personality. Most importantly, he was a scion of the Sandersons, and his family
was one of the top ten prestigious families in Jedburgh. Although the family was ranked last, they were still rather well off.
What did the upper class value the most? It was all about connections.
Hera was able to get to know a wealthy man like Nicholas within such a short tupon arriving at Jedburgh. Her future was
promising.
"No need for all the courtesies, Mrs. Everett. This is what I'm supposed to do. After all, I'm Hera's boy... guy friend."
Nicholas cheekily wanted to introduce himself as Hera's boyfriend. But with Wayne clearing his throat as a reminder, he forced
himself to reply differently.

Mildred nodded in satisfaction. "Good. You should join us for dinner later!"
Nicholas' eyes lit up. If he could get the approval of Hera's family, he would be one step closer to having her as his wife one day.
He immediately nodded. Before he could agree, Wayne placed a hand on his shoulder and asked, "Mr. Sanderson, didn't you agree
to play basketball tonight with the others?"
Nicholas looked back with an icy gaze and exclaimed through gritted teeth, "We've agreed to meet another time!"
"When did this happen? Why do | have no idea?" Wayne asked.
Wayne had put in a lot of effort to do a better job of completing the task entrusted by Bernard and learned that Nicholas enjoyed
playing basketball. Thus, Wayne would invite him for a gat the nearby court whenever he dropped by the clinic to visit Hera.
As a result, they discovered that they played well together. They even formed a team with a few of Nicholas’ friends and would
occasionally schedule competitions with other teams on the court.
Nicholas replied, "Just now!"
"Oh, | see," Wayne answered. He then scratched his head and grinned. "In that case, | won't go as well. | could hang out with you
guys for dinner, right?"
Nicholas could barely hold himself back from hitting Wayne in front of the Everetts. He answered through gritted teeth, "Get lost!"
"You two get along quite well," Gideon said meaningfully.
"Like brothers," Gino commented with a nod.
