The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1854

Stella was quiet for a few seconds, then nodded gently.

"I am."

"A very practical young woman." Old Mr. Wyatt pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "I'm not a benevolent doctor with a parental heart. I'm a man who enjoys a good story. My criteria for practicing medicine are different from others. If their reasons for seeking my help can move me, I agree to treat them.

"As a result, I've seen many patients in my life and met many people who have pleaded for my help. I've seen my fair share of cases like yours, with deep-seated grudges. However, many people are unwilling to accept a gesture of goodwill from someone they once hated. They would rather never be cured than forgive the other person."

Stella's expression was calm. "There's no need to punish myself for an enemy's mistake."

Old Mr. Wyatt asked, "If your hand is healed, will you still hate him?"

"No," Stella said.

Old Mr. Wyatt didn't ask why. Instead, a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

"A clever girl… It seems the considerable price that boy paid for you wasn't in vain."

Stella's eyes flickered slightly, but she refrained from asking what he meant.

Old Mr. Wyatt didn't seem to mind. He filled out some notes on the diagnosis form, glanced at the test reports again, and then said to Stella, "I need to make some preparations, so the surgery will be scheduled for next Monday. Is that alright with you, young lady?"

"That's fine with me," Stella said.

"Good," Old Mr. Wyatt said. "Then it's settled for now."

Stella stood up. "Old Mr. Wyatt, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Old Mr. Wyatt grunted in acknowledgment without looking up.
