Chapter 116 Another Identity
Jonathan brought Annalise and a few other surgical assistants into the operating theater. Both the Parks family and Cassandra’s family stood guard at the entrance of the operating theater. About half an hour later, Albert and Christopher arrived, along with a few younger members of the family. Not long after, Tony and Alexander rushed over with their wives, too. The hallway was filled with people.
Tony complained, “Dad, why didn’t you inform me that Aunt fell sick?” Samuel retorted, “What’s the use of informing you? Are you a doctor? Can you treat her?” Tony said, “Although I’m not a doctor, Abigail is. She knows a lot of things…” Samuel retorted again, “Does she know more than Professor Woods?”
Tony was speechless. Alexander could not help but frown. He felt even more certain that Abigail was useless. Back at Horington, he had decided to marry Abigail so that she could put Annalise in her place.
He felt that in terms of capabilities, he was not inferior to Julian. It was just that his background was unfortunate. If Julian married a woman from a small town, he would also marry one. As long as his wife was slightly better than Julian’s, it would be enough. That way, both Julian and Julian’s wife would bring embarrassment to the family.
And because Alexander had married Annalise’s cousin, every time they outsmarted Annalise, others would say, “Look, Abigail and Annalise are cousins. How could they be so different?”
In his opinion, that would feel much better than marrying a wealthy socialite. Before he decided to marry Abigail, he had investigated many things. Generally speaking, Abigail was indeed much better than Annalise But in the end, not only did Abigail not manage to humiliate Annalise, but Annalise also crushed her again and again.
At first, they had thought that when Jonathan returned, Abigail could ask Jonathan to be her mentor. But even after spending a few hundred thousand dollars to earn the right to observe him, Annalise had chased them out of the operating theater.
After observing the surroundings, Alexander realized that Julian was there, but Annalise was not. Did she enter the operating theater to be Jonathan’s assistant again? As he thought about it, his eyes narrowed slightly. Was his investigation not comprehensive enough? Or had something gone wrong?
Wasn’t Annalise an incompetent person who lived in the countryside? How could she have learned medicine? Jonathan and Annalise had addressed each other as siblings. Once upon a time, they had even caught fish in the village and made pickled vegetables together. Could he have taught Annalise some medical skills?
He suddenly thought of a possibility. He could not help but be shocked.
Was it possible that Annalise knew Joseph? Did Joseph live in seclusion in the village where Annalise lived? Could it be that Joseph took pity on Annalise and taught her some medical skills before asking Jonathan to take good care of her?
