Chapter 769
“Hello, Mr. Zade!”
“This is my wife, Anastasia,” Harrison added, speaking to Mr. Zade with an undisguised tenderness and affection in his voice.
Mr. Zade had heard rumors of Harrison’s marriage, but this was the first time he had met her in person. Having dealt with Harrison on several occasions, he had a good sense of the man. Seeing his attitude now, he knew that this Ana was truly cherished, not just a pretty face Harrison was infatuated with, as some had speculated.
Therefore, Mr. Zade was careful not to slight the young woman and responded with a warm, friendly smile.
Harrison’s demeanor aside, he was quite taken with Anastasia’s grace and the clear, honest look in her eyes.
Perhaps it was age, but he found himself fond of such pure-hearted, sincere young people.
Anastasia chatted gracefully with Mr. Zade for a few moments before she
remembered what she was there for. Glancing at the time, she said quickly, “Hubby,
I have something I need to do now, so I’ll be going!”
She was about to run off when Harrison grabbed her hand, holding her firmly in place.
“What is it?” he asked gently.
Anastasia didn’t hide it from him. “Professor Bruno asked me to see a patient here, just upstairs. If you’re still here when I come down, we can go home together!”
Harrison nodded and finally let go. “Go on.”
Anastasia dashed into the elevator.
Harrison watched her go.
Mr. Zade smiled. “You and your wife seem to have a wonderful relationship, Mr. Harrison Lancaster.”
Harrison didn’t deny it, his gaze deep. “Meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Anastasia followed the address and knocked on the door.

According to the information her professor had given her, her patient today was the elderly matriarch the highly respected West family Riverton. The invitation had come from her children-Mr. Nelson West and Ms. Cheryl West.
The West family was wealthy and had booked the hotel’s presidential suite.
When she knocked, a maid answered the door. Upon hearing she was there to treat the patient, the maid led her inside without further questions.
Anastasia found this a bit odd at first, but she understood as soon as she stepped inside-
The West family had hired more than one doctor.
There were already three other doctors in the room. When they heard she had been recommended by Bruno, one of them immediately said, “This is outrageous of Bruno. It’s one thing for him to put on airs, but sending a young girl, is that Kow he shows responsibility for his patients?”
The speaker was a doctor who looked to be in his fifties. Anastasia heard Nelson call him Dr. Lee.
Dr. Lee’s gaze on Anastasia was filled with disapproval.
Although Nelson didn’t say anything, the smile on his face cooled after learning that Anastasia was one of Bruno’s students.
Of the four doctors present, besides Anastasia, the youngest looked to be in their thirties. Her age was strikingly out of place; she looked like a student who hadn’t even graduated yet.
While the West family had already hired three other doctors after learning Bruno was unavailable and could only send a student, holding little hope for her, Nelson was still displeased to see Anastasia.
He could understand Bruno not having time, but sending such a young student was simply too perfunctory. It showed a lack of respect for the West family.
Anastasia took in everyone’s expressions but remained unfazed. She addressed or Lee directly, your opinion, is medical skill directly proportional to age? The older one is, the better their skills?”
