"Among a married couple, there’s no need to talk about owing each other anything. That’s far too formal," Walker Grant said, his expression unchanged, as if he hadn’t detected Preston Vance’s provocation.
Preston Vance smiled faintly. "That’s right. A couple shouldn’t be formal with each other. That’s why only estranged couples feel a sense of guilt."
Chloe Reed: "..."
She typed on her phone, then looked at Mr. Aldridge with a beaming smile. "Hello, Mr. Aldridge. I’ve used the prescription you gave me, and it’s really working."
Mr. Aldridge had been enjoying the drama. Seeing Chloe Reed address him, he chuckled. "Is that so? Let’s hear you try to speak."
Chloe Reed nodded. She tried to speak, but still couldn’t form complete words. She could, however, manage single syllables.
"Not bad." Mr. Aldridge nodded, then said, "Sit down, and I’ll examine you again."
Chloe Reed nodded and sat down beside Mr. Aldridge.
Seeing this, the two men said no more. After all, the consultation was the most important matter.
Preston Vance then took Walker Grant by the arm, saying, "Mr. Grant, this way."
Walker Grant didn’t refuse, offering a faint smile. "Thank you, Mr. Vance."
Standing to one side, Fiona Linton had taken in the whole scene and couldn’t help but think to herself, ’When men start bickering out of jealousy, is there even a role left for women to play?’
"And this is?"
Preston Vance looked at Fiona Linton.
Fiona Linton smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, I’m Fiona Linton. I’m their doctor. I saw Mr. Aldridge’s prescription and found it so novel that I decided to come along this time."
Preston Vance nodded. "A pleasure, Doctor Linton. Mr. Aldridge also told me that your treatment plan for them is very good. Your prescriptions complement each other, which should help them recover more quickly."
Fiona Linton nodded eagerly. "I have great admiration for Mr. Aldridge, so I’d like to learn from him."
She walked right over to Mr. Aldridge, her eyes shining. "Hello, Mr. Aldridge. I’m Fiona Linton."
