"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nolan took out the forged physical checkup result and
showed Fiona. "The doctor said it was a gastric ulcer, but it was serious. I stayed purposely for dinner
tonight to persuade you to have surgery as soon as possible."
Fiona took the result sheet and read it, frowning. "I don't understand the technical terms, but I have
common sense. Why should I have surgery if I only suffer from gastric ulcer?"
"Didn't your son tell you just now?" Karter began, "Ordinary gastric ulcer doesn't need surgery, but your
case is serious, so you need surgery."
"That's right, Mom. Although I'm a psychologist, I'm a doctor, after all. I know a little about gastric
ulcers. Don't you believe me?"
"Yes, of course." Fiona said, "All right, I'll listen to you."
Nolan said, "Okay. I'll get you hospitalized tomorrow. You should have surgery as soon as possible."
After dinner, Nolan chatted with Fiona for a while and asked her to go to sleep. He was left alone with
Karter. The atmosphere became depressing.
Karter asked, "Did you go to see Bethany?"
"Yes." Nolan said, "She's an expert in this field. I would have asked her to be my mother's doctor if
Bethany had recovered."
"You have just met her a few times. Why do you trust her?"
"I only met her a few times, but I have a sharp eye. At least, she's trustworthy as a doctor."
Karter snorted coldly. "That girl is not simple. A liar who doesn't dare to tell you her real identity can
actually fool you guys around."
"What do you mean?" Nolan didn't get it.
"You're too young to know you are deceived by her," Karter spoke as he went upstairs. "I'm your father
after all. Although there's a misunderstanding between us, I mean well for you. You'd better stay away
from that woman."
Nolan was confused by Karter's words. However, he was too worried about Fiona's illness to think
about Karter's accusation.
During the following days, Raymond was busy. The development of the complex had started officially.
Fiona got hospitalized and received treatment. She had surgery today.
Raymond took Bethany to the hospital to visit Fiona, who had just come out of the operating room. The
effect of the anesthetic hadn't worn off, and Fiona was not conscious. Therefore, they couldn't stay long
in the ward.
Nolan stayed in the ward and looked after Fiona, and Karter walked Raymond and Bethany out.
Karter said, "Raymond, thank you for coming to see Fiona. I know you're very busy." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"No matter how busy I am, I should come to visit Mrs. Shepard." Raymond said, "Her surgery went
well. She'll be fine with the follow-up chemotherapy."
"I hope so." Karter looked at Bethany, who quickly looked away to avoid his eyes. Somehow, Bethany
was scared by his eyes.
Karter said, "Bethany, you seem to have recovered well."
Bethany said, "Yes, I'm okay."
Karter curled his lips into a sneer. This woman was lucky. The perfect car accident actually failed to kill
her!
"Where is Mrs. Gina traveling? It's been a long time. Doesn't she plan to come back?" Karter asked.
Raymond said, "She finally has time after her retirement. She's having great fun on the world trip. Why
should she hurry back?"
"That's right." Karter said, "Raymond, I have to go back to take care of Fiona. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After Karter left, Raymond heard clearly that Bethany let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? You look frightened."
"He somehow terrifies me. Besides, he's hostile to me."
Only Karter knew that Bethany was Melisa. It had been a long time, but he didn't tell anyone about it.
Bethany was flustered.
"He might have grudges against you because of Aria, but don't worry. I won't let him hurt you."
However, Bethany was uneasy. When she saw Karter, she recalled what he had said to her before.
It was tiring to hide her past after changing her name, but did she have to tell Raymond about it
honestly?
After all, she had nothing to do with Raymond now. Wasn't it weird to confess everything to him
suddenly?
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Bethany in deep thought, Raymond waved his hand before her eyes.
Bethany came back to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing. Drive me home. I know you're busy."
"Yeah, I've been busy recently." Raymond said, "By the way, there will be a dinner party this weekend.
Many celebrities have been invited. Go to the party with me."
"Okay." Bethany had agreed to that before.
Raymond drove Bethany home and watched her enter the building. When he looked away and was
about to go back to the company, his phone rang. It was Tyrone calling.
"Hi, Damion."
Tyrone said reproachfully, "Did you forget that tomorrow is Beth's birthday?"
"Of course not."
"That's good. If you want to court her, you have to show your sincerity. I want to celebrate with her, but I
can't."
"I know." Raymond remembered Bethany's birthday well, and he had made preparation for it.
"Great." Tyrone continued, "I decided not to let Beth be with you, but you are sincere, so I'll give you
one more chance. You can't miss it. If you hurt her again, I'll kick you out of the game."
Raymond gave a wry smile. The boy seemed to be Bethany's son and took her side.
Her birthday?
Thinking that tomorrow was her birthday, Raymond couldn't wait. However, Bethany didn't take it
seriously.
Since the Hamilton family went bankrupt, Bethany didn't like to celebrate her birthday. She always
forgot about it, but Tyrone and Shayla remembered her every birthday. It was no exception this time.
Early in the morning the next day, Bethany received a call from the two children. Shayla said ruefully,
"Beth, I've prepared a very expensive gift for you, but I can't come back for the time being. When I
return, I'll give it to you."
"It doesn't matter. Take good care of yourselves."
"Beth, happy birthday!" Damion said, "We'll make it up to you when we are back."
"I got it. Thank you, sweetie. I love you."
The two children's call delighted Bethany. She would take a day off. She didn't work during the day and
took a good rest.
In the evening, she suddenly received a call from Raymond. Once she picked up the phone, Raymond
said, "Come out."
