“What are you looking at?” Matthew scoffed. “Who do you think you are to pursue Tiara when you look like that?”
“James, you…please don’t take this to heart,” Tiara said softly, her head hung low.
The marriage arrangement was made solely by her mother.
Before, her mother had tried to get her to return and get engaged to Matthew, but she was always in Cansington. She had only recently returned when her grandmother was critically ill.
Only she and her father were aware of what had occurred in Cansington. The rest of the Youngblood family was completely unaware.
James gave a small wave of his hand and said, “I’m simply here to see the patient. She’s in the ward, right? I’ll go take a look.”
“Yes. She’s inside.” Tiara had a smile on her face. “I’ll show you in.”
James' identity was unknown to the others, but Tiara was aware of it. He was not just a skilled ancient martial artist; he was also a brilliant doctor. Her grandmother might be saved if James was willing to help.
“What are you doing?”
Matthew stepped forward immediately and stopped them. “Tiara, what are you doing? This is the ICU. Even relatives are prohibited from entering, only the attending physician is allowed. You're now letting an outsider in?”
“J-James is a doctor,” said Tiara softly.
“Even then, this is not permitted,” Matthew suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed, “Which hospital is he from? Is it Healthstone Hospital? Even if he is, he’s not authorized to enter. Besides, he…”
Matthew took a close look at James and thought he did not look like a doctor at all.
“Does he look like a doctor to you?”
Tiara’s mother stood out and said disapprovingly. “What's the matter with you, Tiara? Why do you just make friends with random people? It won't be long before you and Mr. Henderson are engaged. Stop interacting with these shady characters, I'm warning you.”
“Mother, I…”
Tiara opened her mouth but could not say a word.
Zigmund stepped forward and said, “He is indeed a doctor. Let him go inside and take a look. It’ll be hopeless for Mother if not even he can save her.”
