Leonardo couldn’t help but laugh. “Where were your standards in the past? How could you have even considered such a sc*mbag?”

“Isn’t it because I’ve never seen anyone better? That was why I used to be so blind,” Raylee said to Leonardo with a smile. “Only a man like you can be considered up to my standards now, don’t you agree?”

With satisfaction, Leonardo nodded, “Ms. Somers, you do have a way with words. I’m liking what I hear.”

Just as Raylee was about to reach out and grab his arm, Angela, who was standing nearby, extended her hand.

“Ms. Somers, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Angela. It’s been a while, I hope all has been well with you.”

Raylee extended her hand for a handshake, her brows furrowed in confusion as she asked, “It’s been a while? Ms. Angela, have we met before?”

Why don’t I have any recollection at all?

With a smile, Angela explained, “Yes, didn’t Leo tell you? Actually, I’m one of your primary doctors. It’s just that due to personal reasons, I was unable to return to the country. So, I’ve been monitoring your condition from a distance all this time, Ms. Somers. I doubt anyone else understands your physical state as well as I do. Moreover, I’ve been staying in Zaewora all this while, researching ways to cure you.”

“Is that so?” Summer was taken aback, turning to look at Leonardo. “Why didn’t you tell me about this before? I’ve been under the impression that Ms. Angela was…”

“My mistress?” The masked man shook his head helplessly. “You’ve let your imagination run wild.”

Angela chuckled. “Ms. Somers, how could you possibly think that I was Leo’s mistress? Wouldn’t that make me the other woman? Haha, this is hilarious. But come to think of it, I knew Leo before you did. So, if anyone’s the other woman here, wouldn’t it be you?”

The color drained from Raylee’s face.

Angela quickly waved her hands, saying, “Come on, I was just joking. Leo knows my personality. I love to fool around and tease people. Ms. Somers, I hope you don’t mind!”

Leonardo also nodded, saying, “Yeah, Angela likes to joke around, so don’t take it to heart.”

Angela suddenly furrowed her brows at Leonardo, reprimanding, “But Leo, why didn’t you tell Ms. Somers earlier that I was her primary doctor? “But Leo, why didn’t you tell Ms. Somers earlier that I was her primary doctor? Also, you haven’t told her yet, have you? That we’ve known each other for many years and are old friends?”

Angela shook her head in frustration. “Am I the outsider now, or is Ms. Somers the one?”

This was a loaded question.

It was clear to Raylee that a glimmer of anticipation had flashed in Angela’s eyes.

This question was akin to the scenario where the wife and the mother fell into the river at the same time, forcing the husband to decide who to save.

No matter who was chosen, someone would end up offended.

Angela had deliberately posed such a challenging question. If it wasn’t due to low emotional intelligence, then it was intentional.

A highly educated medical student who was no longer young couldn’t possibly have such a low emotional intelligence.

As a result, this was clearly a deliberate provocation.
