"It's great to see you, Quinn. Yes, I just got back."
"Where was the clinic located? What were the locals like?"
"It was a small mountain village hundreds of miles away. The people there were simple and honest. Whenever they fell ill, they were incredibly hardworking and genuinely listened to their doctor's advice."
Quinn asked further, "The conditions must have been tough, right? Did you have enough medical supplies? Did you often run into difficult cases?"
The two of them seemed to have an endless stream of topics to discuss, completely leaving Miles and Jade out in the cold.
"The conditions were indeed a bit primitive, and we frequently ran short on medication. A lot of the time, I had to forage for local herbs to use as substitutes."
Zack offered a faint smile, his gaze calm. "But the locals held doctors in very high regard. Whenever I had to make a house call at night, the villagers would take the initiative to light the way for me."
"It's just that the village had a severe shortage of doctors. Every minor and major ailment came my way. When it got busy, I often didn't have a moment of rest all day."
Quinn listened intently, seamlessly keeping the conversation going. The two chatted back and forth as they strolled toward the garden.
Miles's expression darkened like a thundercloud, and Jade's fingers curled into tight fists.
When she called Zack her 'brother,' he had coldly shut her down, implying that his actual sister would be jealous.
Yet, when this shameless woman Quinn called him 'Zack,' he just accepted it?
It was blatant favoritism!
She had no idea what she had done to offend Zack. Could it be that he harbored some other feelings for Quinn?
At this thought, she discreetly assessed Miles's reaction.
Seeing his unblinking gaze fixated on their retreating backs, a dark gleam flashed in her eyes.
She stepped up beside Miles, her voice gentle and teasing. "Miles, Dr. Wells is so good to Quinn. I've never seen him act this gentle with any woman before. It's enough to make even me jealous."
As she spoke, she carefully observed Miles's face.
"Earlier, when I tried to call him 'Zack,' he shut me down completely. Quinn must be the only one with special privileges. I just wonder if his actual sister will get jealous when the time comes~"

I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
