Seeing her refuse, Morgan and Mrs. Lawson's expressions softened slightly. They immediately turned to Bruno, "Dr. Austin, shall we begin the treatment now?"
But Timothy leaned back, showing no intention of cooperating.
"I said, I only want Anastasia. Since she's not willing, then let's just forget it."
He didn't sound like he was joking. If Anastasia wasn't the one treating him, he'd rather stay lame.
He'd been this way for the past few years, seemingly unconcerned about being disabled.
Just then, Marcus texted her again, asking her to hang out, so Anastasia took the opportunity to ask him a question.
[Do you know how Timothy hurt his leg?]
[Marcus: I think he had a girlfriend before he started messing around, and she set him up.]
[Marcus: Ever since then, his leg's been messed up, and he's gone off the rails. He does whatever he wants, and his reputation is even worse than mine!]
[Anastasia: ...]
Was that something to be proud of?
[Anastasia: What about the woman?]
[Marcus: Dead.]
[Marcus: Everyone suspects Timothy probably did it, but no one has any proof.]
Anastasia was stunned, a chill running down her spine.
Glancing at Timothy, she thought he was definitely capable of something like that.
Marcus's tone became more objective.
[To be fair, Timothy used to have a great reputation. He was an outstanding guy. Everyone said that once he took over the Lawson family, he'd be the next Harrison. No one expected him to turn out like this.]
Anastasia was already speechless when Mrs. Lawson started making decisions on her own, and now, hearing this command, she let out a cynical laugh.
"Mrs. Lawson, have you misunderstood something? When did I ever say I was willing to treat Mr. Lawson?"
"The person you invited today was Dr. Austin, not me!"
Setting everything else aside, who was Bruno? A titan in the medical world!
The Lawson family had invited him here, yet without asking a single question, they had arbitrarily decided to substitute her. Did they have any respect for Bruno at all?
From any angle, she had no intention of agreeing.
Her response made Mr. and Mrs. Lawson's faces darken instantly. "You!"
Anastasia scoffed and turned to Bruno. "Dr. Austin, since they don't need us, let's go."
