Chapter 440
Adam’s expression darkened. “What good news?”
Leo answered, “Dr. C just contacted us. They had something come up and couldn’t attend the gala, but they’ll be at the hospital first thing tomorrow morning to see Ms. Carly.”
What?
Carly’s expression lit up. “Really? Dr. C is coming first thing in the morning to check on me?”
Sonia beamed. “That’s amazing! With Dr. C’s legendary skills, Carly’s heart condition will definitely improve.”
Tracy sighed in relief. “I was so disappointed when Dr. C wasn’t at the gala tonight. I can’t believe we’ll get to see her first thing in the morning. This is fantastic!”
Lucy, overcome with excitement, grabbed Carly’s hands. Carly’s heart condition had always been her greatest worry, but now, with Dr. C’s arrival, there was finally hope.
The moment Dr. C was mentioned, Adam pressed his lips into a thin line.
Dr. C had stood him up too many times. If she failed to show up again, his patience would run out completely.
Adam’s gaze turned sharp. “Fine. Tomorrow morning, I’ll finally see who Dr. C really is.”
…
By dawn the next day, Sonia, Carly, Tracy, and Lucy were already up.
Truth be told, none of them had slept well. They were too excited. They had been up early, eagerly preparing for Dr. C’s arrival.
Now, they stood together in the hospital corridor, anxiously craning their necks, searching for any sign of their esteemed doctor.
“Where’s Dr. C? I’m too excited. I can’t believe she’s still not here!”
Adam stood tall, his towering frame casting a long shadow as he waited silently.
Leo leaned in and whispered, “Mr. Alvarez, Dr. C has arrived.”
A group of doctors in pristine white coats appeared at the far end of the corridor. They weren’t just doctors. Every single one of them held a senior position.
The sight of them moving forward together was nothing short of commanding. “They’re here! Dr. C is here!”
Sonia, Carly, Tracy, and Lucy all held their breath, their eyes glued to the approaching figures.
Then, a slim, graceful figure stepped into view. She was also dressed in a spotless white coat, leading the team forward with quiet confidence.
The moment Carly saw her, her pupils shrank. She froze completely.
Sonia gasped, “Celine?”
Tracy’s voice sharpened. “Why is Celine here?”
Lucy’s face twisted in confusion. “What is Celine doing here?”
Adam, too, was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected to see Celine here at
all.
Celine walked forward with steady steps.
Carly immediately raised her voice. “Celine, what are you doing here?”
Before she could say more, the
hospital’s vice director turned andet
snapped, “Show some respect Do
you even know who you’re speaking to?”
Celine lifted a hand, signaling the vice director to stand down.
Sonia was visibly shaken. “Celine, who exactly are you?”
Tracy scoffed. “Celine, are you pulling some kind of stunt again? We’re waiting for Dr. C! Why are you even here?”
Celine’s lips curved into a smirk. “The Dr. C you’ve been waiting for is already here.”
Lucy frowned. “Celine, what are you talking about?”
Celine arched a perfectly shaped
brow and slowly raised a slenderet
pale finger, pointing to the name tag
on her white coat. “Lot
Adam’s gaze followed her gesture.
And there, printed clearly on the name tag, was “Dr. C”.
Celine was Dr. C.
