Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed as a housekeeper came to open the door.
"Hello, I'm Harold Henderson. I've brought a doctor to treat Mr. Cavanaugh. I've already contacted Ms. Cavanaugh, and she approved our visit."
The housekeeper nodded coldly but didn't immediately invite Harold and Yolanda in. Instead, she returned to the villa. A full five minutes passed before she returned. She opened the gates to let them enter.
As Yolanda and Harold entered the living room, they saw an aloof young woman in a long dress emerge from the inner suite. Though moderately attractive, Miranda carried herself with an overwhelming presence and superiority.
However, she spoke with a distinct Dunhill accent. "Mr. Henderson, we meet again."
"Good morning, Ms. Cavanaugh." Harold nodded to Miranda. He seemed accustomed to her attitude. "As I mentioned before, my daughter is a doctor. I heard that Mr. Cavanaugh was unwell, so I brought her to check his pulse and examine him."
"Yolanda, this is Mr. Cavanaugh's daughter, Ms. Miranda Cavanaugh." Harold made the introductions. "Ms. Cavanaugh, this is my eldest daughter, Yolanda."
Miranda lifted her chin a little as she looked down at Yolanda with scrutiny. Frowning, she did not bother to greet Yolanda.
Harold noticed Miranda's reaction. His eyes dimmed as he continued, "My daughter has treated many patients. She runs her own clinic now, so please rest assured."
"Okay." Finally, Miranda nodded. "My father is in the study next door. Follow me!"
