Harrison's lips curved in a faint smile, his eyes showing barely perceptible amusement. "I just contacted Miss Liliana from ZELING. I heard Dr. Blackthorn has already departed and should be on the way, but hasn't arrived yet."
Though Harrison was crystal clear about their intentions, he remained neither pleased nor displeased. "Mr. Evermere, are you certain you came today seeking medical treatment, and not to discuss business?"
Magnus looked directly at him, his noble bearing impossible to conceal, and smiled slightly. "Someone as capable as Dr. Blackthorn is naturally someone the Evermere family would eagerly pursue."
Harrison's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he became more alert.
Magnus was clear that he hadn't come today to compete with the Grant family. His purpose was singular, so he stated directly: "However, I won't force anyone. Mr. Grant needn't consider me an enemy."
Harrison nodded, then remembered that the Evermere family didn't seem to be among ZELING company's intended partnerships. A glint appeared in his eyes as he dropped his inner guard. "That's good then! Please make yourself at home, Mr. Evermere. I'll go attend to other guests."
"Fine." Magnus naturally had no objection and immediately left his spot.
I had listened to their entire conversation and found it absurd, struggling to maintain my composure. After all these years, this man's first priority was actually to find me to treat Helena's leg condition? Was Magnus out of his mind???
Uncontrollably, my mind conjured up that day from years ago. On the night of my wedding with Magnus, Helena had burst into the bridal suite, arrogantly and aggressively threatening: "Ophelia, you'd better voluntarily give up your engagement to Magnus, or you'll definitely regret it for the rest of your life!"
I had ignored her. In her desperation to cause trouble, Helena had staged that whole falling-down-the-stairs act...
Ultimately pinning all the blame on me, subjecting me to years of undeserved criticism and accusations! Even now, people would still thoughtlessly use this incident to blame me.
I had thought I'd be immune to these feelings by now, but in this moment...
Having these people standing before me seemed to drag me back into those painful memories. The softest part of my heart felt like someone had pressed on it. It didn't hurt, but felt somewhat stifled.
My expression grew several degrees colder. Forget it—they were all people I disliked. Why stay here?
With that thought, I lifted my skirt with my fingers, preparing to leave and planning to arrange another opportunity to meet with Harrison later. But before I could leave, my gaze collided directly with Magnus's line of sight!
The two of us made unexpected eye contact, and everything around us fell silent in that instant.
