Unemployed Family? Hidden Tycoons Dote On Her novel Chapter 626

"I'm not sure," Alfred replied, his tone growing more serious. "My guess is it's connected to you being the miracle doctor."

Arabella paused, then looked slightly taken aback. "You don't think she wants me to treat Harper, do you?"

"Well..." Alfred hesitated. "It's not out of the question."

Arabella's expression turned conflicted. "Even if I agreed, do you really think she'd actually let me do it?"

"Maybe she doesn't trust you enough—that could be why she went to Edward," Alfred reasoned.

"Could be." Arabella nodded, thinking his point made sense.

"So what's on your mind?" Alfred asked.

Arabella still seemed unsure. "It just never crossed my mind that Freya would have the nerve to ask me to treat Harper. And if she really gets my brother to approach me... that puts me in a tough spot."

She wasn't usually one to care much about other people's opinions, but Edward was different—she had to consider his position.

Just then, Arabella's phone buzzed.

Seeing it was Edward calling, she took a steadying breath and answered, "Hey, Edward."

"Arabella, where are you? I need to see you," Edward said, his voice carrying a sense of urgency.

"Alright—the usual spot," Arabella agreed.

Now that Edward had reached out, she knew she had to face the situation.

"I'll come with you," Alfred offered.

"Okay." Arabella nodded. Since he already knew what was going on, they might as well go together.

Soon, Alfred drove them to the restaurant.

"Arabella," Edward called out as soon as he saw her, waving her over to where he was already seated.

Arabella walked over with Alfred and took a seat.

Edward gave Alfred a brief nod before turning to Arabella, his face lit up with excitement. "Arabella... you really are Aletta."

"Yeah," she replied quietly, then added, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. It was just... a way to protect myself."

"I understand." Edward shook his head gently. "You don't owe me an apology."

"Arabella, I just never imagined you were Aletta, the miracle doctor. So you were the one who treated me back then. You saved my life—I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you." Edward was visibly emotional. She wasn't just his sister; she was the person who had given him a second chance.

"You only just found out?" Alfred asked, sounding a little surprised.
