Chapter 15
On the flip side, he genuinely believed that Grace’s legs and life were going to be saved.
Little did Elaine know that Harlan was a huge fan of Dr. Freya
Considering g all the things Harlan had done to her, Elaine couldn’t help but wonder how he’d react if he found out that Dr. Freya–the person he admired—was actually his sister, the one he loathed and the very person the Yeats family couldn’t stand
Elaine couldn’t help but smile wryly. This thought got her excited. It was all so ridiculous–drama was everywhere.
Kingsley noticed her smile and seemed to get a little lost in thought.
“Thanks, Dr. Years,” he said, meeting her gaze. That smile of hers turned sweeter, lighting up the room.
“Mr. Morgan, just wait outside for my good news,” she said.
Kingsley looked at her bright smile and replied in a low, smooth voice, “Sure. I’ll be right here
At that moment, he had no clue that this young woman would pull him out of his seemingly endless pit of despair. Her smile was like the sun cutting through his darkness
Elaine watched Kingsley’s shift in mood and remembered how cold and detached he had been with everyone else just a minute before. Now, he seemed like a gentle big dog–what a contrast!
Grace’s leg issues were pretty serious, but the bigger problem was her several underlying medical conditions, which had led to heart, lung, and kidney failures during her hospital stay.
The nurse exclaimed, “This isn’t good! Heart rates below 101 301 200
401301
hundred and twenty. She’s coming back”
Then, suddenly, they heard a beep, and Grace’s heartbeat picked up. “One–one hur
Everyone in the room stared at Elaine in disbelief. It was like she had worked some sort of miracle, bringing someone back from the dead. Her skills were just mind–blowing.
“How is this even possible” they whispered, chills running up
their spines This was just unreal
But for Elaine, this was all in a day’s work. No matter how dire the situation, if a patient came through her hands, they stood a chance at life. That’s just who Freya was
“The surgery went well Elaine came out and said.
With Grace’s leg saved and all her vital signs looking good. Kingsley felt the tension ease as he watched Grace being wheeled out.
Elaine knew how important Grace was to Kingsley. She would definitely have his back in keeping Grace around.
Kingsley gulped, managing a soft “Thanks,”
Elaine smiled and replied. “Anytime.“
As he got lost in the depths of her beautiful, expressive eyes, it felt like Elaine had just walked into his world out of nowhere, like their meeting was meant to be.
After switching out of her scrubs. Elaine headed toward the door but accidentally bumped into Harlan, who had rushed over to meet Freys.

Chapter 15
Harlan probably wouldn’t have guessed that Freya was actually Elaine. It was ridiculous to think that only a few months ago, he’d texted her to scold her for being mean, claiming she was targeting Bianca–who he thought was simply better in every way. He’d gone to bat for Bianca more times than he could const
Elaine remained silent, and Harlan took that as her typical response. If you’re trying to find Dr. Freya, you might want to forget it. She’s not someone you can just stroll up to whenever you feel like it. You two aren’t even close.”
His tone dripped with sarcasm, as if he was saying Elaine didn’t deserve that kind of access. He remembered how she had clashed with Bianca months ago over Finley and spoke harshly on purpose
Even if Elaine had no redeeming qualities, he figured that if she just had a bit more kindness and didn’t constantly pick on Bianca, he and his brothers wouldn’t be so hard on her–after all, she was their sister by blood
But Elaine was stubborn and set in her way
ways.
As Harlan thought about what Elaine had done to Bianca, any
, any lingering guilt he had for her just vanished.
Elaine stood there with her hands in her pockets, having never really been challenged by someone when it came to bickering
“Mr. Yeats, what does this even have to do with you! If people didn’t know any better, they might think you and Dr. Freya are super tight and that she tells you to act all high and mighty in front of me. Honestly, I feel embarrassed for you,” she said.
Harlan was momentarily stunned by her blaminess and struggled to find a response. To change the subject, he asked, “So, it’s been two months, and you’re still nor coming home?”
He felt a little awkward saying it. He knew the twins were sent to pick Elaine up, and as a family member, he didn’t really want to leave her stuck in that dump
Elaine shot him an incredulous look, as if she couldn’t believe he cared. “Seriously? Does it even matter to you whether I go back or not? You guys don’t really care, riglu?”
Harlan was taken aback by her response. There was a painful truth to what she said, and he felt a bit blocked inside.
In the past, Elaine might have been hurt by his indifference, but now it seemed like she didn’t care at all.
He gathered himself and replied, “Look, regardless of everything, you’re still the biological daughter of the Yeats family. If you keep distancing yourself, there’s going to be a ton of gossip online, which won’t be good for you or the family’s reputation.
Elaine paused, thinking about it for a moment before saying, “Mr. Yeats, I’ve got something I need to talk to you about. After all these years with your family, we’ve never really clicked, and there’s been a lot of drama.
“Ever since I came back. Blanca had had a rough time. I think it’s time to part ways. You guys have spent millions on me over the years, and I’ve kept track of it all. Once I pay back what you’ve spent, we can call it even
“As for whatever you think you owe me in terms of affection or anything clsc, I don’t want any of it” Ebine finished, feeling surprisingly light after laying it all out there. “From now on, no one will bother you and Bianca again, and she won’t have to suffer because of me anymore”
From now on, they would go their way, and she would go her
