The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 4

"Ms. Clark!" Jim exclaimed in shock as he quickly caught Kylie. "Mr. Vance, Ms. Clark has passed out!"

Samuel sneered. "Call an ambulance if she has fainted. I can't do anything; I'm not a doctor."

Jim was stunned. Then, he thought about it and said, "Mr. Vance Senior's sudden illness yesterday was quite strange, considering he hasn't had an episode in the past two years. Plus, his condition requires long-term care. Anything happening to Ms. Clark might delay his treatment.

"If you suspect her involvement, why don't you get her to stay at Hythe Villa? Keeping her under your watch will expose any ulterior motives she may have. And if she's innocent, living under the same roof might help nurture feelings between you two."

Samuel's expression darkened. "Do you have too much free time on your hands, Jim?"

Jim immediately fell silent.

Vincent had remained healthy for two years but conveniently fell ill on the very day the two families were discussing marriage. On top of that, Kylie just happened to bring silver needles and seized the chance to force a marriage. It was all too coincidental.

As the thought crossed Samuel's mind, he said, "Call Sebastian over."

Still wearing his white coat, Sebastian Miller barely had time to change his clothes as he rushed to Hythe Villa, speeding through two red lights on the way.

When he saw a woman lying on the couch, his eyes widened in shock. "Wow, getting engaged really changes a man. But with her frail body, I'd suggest you take it slow."

Unaware of Samuel's forced marriage, Sebastian teased him while walking toward the coffee table with his medical kit. "But applying medicine should be your job."

"Shut up. It's not what you think." Samuel cut him off, and his dark eyes filled with rage.

"Huh?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Samuel impatiently snapped, "Just check on her. She suddenly fainted."

Sebastian looked skeptical. "Are you sure she just fainted and it wasn't because…"

Over the years, Iris was the only woman who'd ever set foot in Hythe Villa. As Samuel's childhood friend, Sebastian knew about his feelings for her.

Yesterday was Iris' 20th birthday and their engagement day. It'd be a lie to say there wouldn't be anything sexual after the engagement party.

Samuel's phone rang again. He glanced at the number, and a hint of impatience flashed across his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

As Sebastian stepped closer and finally saw the woman on the couch, he was stunned. It wasn't Iris!

Though the lady was slim, she had exquisite facial features and flawless skin. She was a natural beauty who completely outshone Iris.

He shot Samuel a meaningful look, but seeing the cold expression on Samuel's face, he dared not ask questions. Instead, he quickly examined her and said, "Relax, it's just hypoglycemia from malnutrition. Give her some sugar, and she'll wake up soon."

After setting up an IV drip, Sebastian couldn't resist asking curiously, "Aren't you going to introduce her to me?"

"She's no one important. You don't need to know."

Even if Kylie saved Vincent, she'd remain a hidden wife who'd forever hide in the shadows.

Sebastian smirked. "If she's not important, why bring her to Hythe Villa and hide her here? Now, you're acting more like a man. It's the modern age, and just because Iris saved your life doesn't mean you have to marry her. You could just give her a fortune instead of promising a marriage."

Samuel's eyes turned icy as he shot Sebastian a sharp look. "Iris is the only woman I've ever wanted to marry. Are you leaving or not?"

A chill ran down Sebastian's spine. He sheepishly brushed his nose, grabbed his medical kit, and left.

As soon as he exited Hythe Villa, he whipped out his phone and excitedly exclaimed, "You guys will never believe what I just saw at Hythe Villa! Gather at Zouk Lounge now!"

Meanwhile, Samuel left after instructing Jim, "Watch over her."

…

Kylie slowly regained consciousness as the IV drip was coming to an end. She blinked in a daze and took in her surroundings.

The bedside lamp cast a warm yellow glow over the black-and-white-toned room and dark blue down comforter. It was an unfamiliar scene.
