Chapter 816

Marlon said, his voice thick with emotion, “Thank you, Ms. Sterling, thank you so much. I desperately need these herbs.”

Anastasia couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask who the doctor is?”

“He’s a Dr. Parker,” Marlon said. “It was pure luck that I happened to meet this miracle worker.”

Anastasia’s eye twitched.

“Parker? As in Steven Parker?”

Marlon was surprised. “Ms. Sterling, you know Mr. Parker?”

A cold smile touched Anastasia’s lips. “I know him.”

In her past life, when she was publicly condemned, Steven was one of the people who had contributed to her downfall!

A miracle worker? Ha! He was nothing but an incompetent, fame-chasing fraud!

In her previous life, Steven had killed a patient through misdiagnosis and pinned the blame on her…

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she looked at Marlon.

The patient Steven had killed in her past life was a woman of some standing, with a husband and children. Could it have been Marlon’s wife?

She asked a few more specific questions. Marlon, suspecting nothing, told her all about his family’s situation. Anastasia was now certain: the unlucky woman from her past life was indeed Marlon’s wife!

What an unbelievable coincidence!

“Have you not consulted other doctors? What about Mr. Bruno or Mr. Aubrey? They are some of the most famous doctors in Veridia. Were they also unable to help your wife?”

Marlon sighed helplessly. “Of course,

I know of Mr. Austin and Mr. Brown,

but they are incredibly difficult to see inquired before and their waiting lists are booked for six months out. My wife doesn’t have

that much time.”

Anastasia paused, then realized her oversight. “You’re right. I didn’t consider that.”

With their reputation and skill, it was only natural that countless people would seek them out. Getting an appointment wasn’t a simple matter.

She recalled that the West family had to pull a lot of strings just to get a spot.

“But I was lucky. Even though I couldn’t see them, I met Mr. Parker. He said he’s very confident. My wife might be saved this time!”

Marlon was overjoyed and excited.

Saved? If he trusted Steven, she was more likely to be doomed.

Anastasia couldn’t just stand by and watch Marlon be deceived. She was about to warn him when his phone suddenly rang.

He stepped aside to take the call. Anastasia faintly overheard the words “Global Harmony Medical Institute” and “mission,” and her expression flickered.

When Marlon returned, she asked casually, “I thought I heard you mention the Global Harmony Medical Institute, Mr. Clark?”

“Yes, that was Mr. Parker on the phone. He said a friend of his from the institute contacted him. They

wife

want the students to treat my as part of their term assignment. He asked for my permission, and lives, already agreed.

Anastasia’s mind churned. A moment ago, she had planned to expose Steven’s true

nature to Marlon immediately, but now she had a change of heart.

For one, while Steven had made a fatal error, he wasn’t completely incompetent, or Marlon wouldn’t have trusted him if she without even seeing his wife, claimed Steven had misdiagnosed her, Marlon likely wouldn’t believe her.

Secondly, she recalled something. Steven’s so-called friend was Queena, wasn’t it?

Why was Queena suddenly pulling strings with Steven? What was she planning?
