“Sarah…” Yusof knitted his brows as a hint of pain surfaced in his gaze. “I’ve told you to stop being so courteous around me. This money means nothing to me. I’m willing to help you
out.”
“Yusof, as I’ve said before, I can’t…” Sarah’s gaze flickered toward Angela as she hesitated to continue her words. Angela noticed this–she moved a few steps to the side, took out the acupuncture kit, and began to perform acupuncture on Zayn again.
Angela was deeply focused on her work once she got into the zone.
Sarah and Yusof exchanged a few words in hushed tones, but Angela couldn’t make out what they were saying. If it weren’t for Cassie, Angela wouldn’t have been curious about these two at all. But judging by Sarah’s demeanor, it was clear that even if Yusof tried his best, he would still not succeed. He might have his dreams and ambitions, but the woman remained indifferent.
After completing the acupuncture, Angela gave Sarah some instructions before preparing to leave. As fate would have it, Angela had just exited the ward and was about to get to the elevator when Joseph and Zacharias emerged from the other elevator. Zacharias had an arm around Joseph for support.
“Angela? Are you here to treat Zayn again?” Joseph inquired as soon as he saw Angela. There was a hint of seriousness in his expression. Zacharias seemed a bit slower to react. After looking up to take a clearer look at Angela, he finally reached out to hold her. “Angela…”
Angela narrowed her eyes. She was about to step back when Oliver swiftly moved forward and grasped Zacharias‘ wrist with his firm and tight grip.
Zacharias winced in pain.
Witnessing his younger brother’s discomfort, Joseph stood upright beside Zacharias as he
spoke in a gentle and deep voice. “Angela, please release him. You know condition.”
Angela’s gaze shifted to Zacharias‘ pale face momentarily before looking away. She couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. She understood Zacharias‘ condition better than he did himself. In their past lives, every nourishing meal he consumed had been meticulously prepared by her. Without her savory meat broths and daily treatments, Zacharias‘ condition had deteriorated recently.
However, Angela was not a saintly figure; she didn’t have the time to dedicate to him at that moment. Angela pursed her lips and instructed Oliver to release Zacharias.

“It’s fine.” Zacharias endured the pain as he gazed at Angela intently. “Is Jonathan treating you well?” As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt foolish. By the looks of Angela, with her rosy lips and bright smile, she was certainly doing better than she was in the Kins Family…
The question he posed was meaningless.
“I’m doing very well, so you don’t have to worry about me.” Angela’s expression turned cold as she replied to him before walking away.
At that moment, Joseph interjected their conversation. “Angela, since we’ve crossed paths today, there are some things I wish to discuss with you.
Angela glanced at he as Joseph continued speaking. “Stop using your tactics to deceive Jonathan. A man like him won’t be fooled by you indefinitely. One day, he will realize that your medical skills cannot heal his leg. What will you do then?”
Angela felt like her brain was about to blow up as she listened to the other man’s words. So, Joseph thinks I got to marry Jonathan only because I misled Jonathan into thinking that I can heal his leg? Is he still putting on an act now as he self–righteously tries to persuade me to apologize?
She tugged at the corner of her mouth. Bitterness crept in silently from the depths of her heart, but beyond that, she felt an overwhelming urge to burst into laughter. From the way Joseph spoke of her, it was clear that he had developed certain assumptions about her. Any further explanation from her would only be dismissed as lies.
“Dr. Kins, why don’t you focus on your patients and stay out of other people’s business? Do you have anything else to discuss? Otherwise, I will leave.” After Angela finished speaking, she ignored them and entered the elevator without looking back.
Taken aback by the tone of dissatisfaction in Zacharias‘ voice, Joseph frowned. He was well aware of Zacharias‘ recent favoritism towards Angela. They had even argued about it before, which had led to Joseph falling ill.
Cabass allows the man to lead the way he found it too difficult to muster the strength to resist The worst he wanted to speak in defense of Angela remained stuck in his throat.
the lowered his gaze and stared at the ground as he let out a bitter laugh. How much longer can
After Zacharias was reexamined, Joseph escorted him back to the ward. Just as he was about to rear to his office to rest, he received a call from Scarlet.
