Andrea looked at Lenka with a confused expression, not understanding why she suddenly reacted that way.
A minute passed, and the nurse was still in shock, her hand holding the patient registration form shaking uncontrollably.
Andrea completely lost her patience, and her tone was no longer polite. “Hey, Lenka, what’s wrong with you? What’s the problem with her name being Kaia? And why did you lie to me? Kaia is staying in Room 308. Why did you say it was Dr. Bennett? Tell me. Which room is Dr. Bennett staying in?”
The nurse’s thoughts were interrupted, and she raised her stiff neck, staring straight at Andrea.
She had a thousand things to say but didn’t know how to put them into words.
“I get it now!” Andrea’s eyes widened, her face full of anger as she stared at the nurse. “Kaia bribed you, didn’t she? She didn’t want you to tell me where Dr. Bennett was. She’s afraid I might get noticed by Dr. Bennett. After all, I’m exceptionally talented. She’s worried that if I really get into Dr. Bennett’s lab, she’ll have no place in this city! Isn’t that right?”
Lenka’s mouth opened wider and wider.
To Andrea, the nurse’s silence meant admission.
“Good for you, Lenka Archer! I trusted you so much and treated you with respect, but you’ve been playing me for a fool! Give me my bag back!” Andrea shouted.
She was completely enraged and snatched the bag roughly from Lenka’s hand.
Andrea snapped, “Don’t expect any more favors from me! Also, I don’t know what Kaia used to bribe you, but her money is ill–gotten. You must have heard that she is kept by a disgusting old man and is his mistress. Once this comes out, and his wife comes knocking, Kaia will be screwed. And you still accepted her money?”
Lenka frowned. “Andrea, watch your mouth. You’re saying Kaia is being kept. Did you see it with your own eyes?”
“That’s right, I did see it with my own eyes. Not just me, but all the guests at my engagement party that day saw her being picked up by a luxury car,” Andrea said firmly.
Lenka refuted, “Just because she was picked up by a luxury car, you assume she’s being kept. Andrea, have you never ridden in someone else’s luxury car? If you have, does that mean you

betrayed Mr. Ross and are being kept too?”
Andrea snarled, “Don’t compare me to Kaia. She’s nowhere near my level!”
She tilted her chin with such disdain, as if being compared to Kaia was beneath her.
When Lenka saw her face, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” Andrea glared angrily at the nurse.

Lenka pursed her lips and said, “It’s none of your business. Take that bag if you want. I don’t want to have anything to do with people like you in the future, or your family.”
Andrea was furious. She couldn’t believe a poor person like Lenka talked to her like that. So she was more certain that Kaia must have given Lenka plenty of benefits.
“I’ll just sit here and wait for the day the old man’s wife tears Kaia apart. When that day comes, I will definitely tell that wife that you are Kaia’s accomplice!” threatened Andrea.
“Fine, go ahead and wait. You might wait till you die and still get nothing,” Lenka said flatly.
She thought, ‘Dr. Bennett being kept? Who would believe that!‘
Andrea snorted coldly, took the bag, and turned to leave.
Watching Andrea leave, Lenka scoffed inwardly, ‘What a fool! Her whole family’s got terrible judgment.‘
She took out her phone and looked at an old announcement from the Bennett family some time ago. They severed all ties with Kaia in the announcement, leaving her no chance to return home.
Thinking about how Lincoln and his wife doted on Andrea, Lenka clicked her tongue.
“They really mistook a fake for a gem, and worse, treated a gem like a stone. This family will regret it sooner or later,” she muttered.
But before that, there was something she had to do immediately.
Soon, she arrived at Room 308, her heart pounding as she knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Kaia said softly,
Lenka felt guilty, fumbling for words but too afraid to speak.
“You’re here to talk about Andrea, aren’t you?” Kaia raised an eyebrow and asked.

The nurse’s pupils dilated. “How did you know?”
Kaia pointed to her head and said, “I guessed.”

Lenka stared at Kaia with bright eyes, amazed by how smart she was.
She bowed deeply, wishing she could bury her head in her legs. “Dr. Bennett, I shouldn’t have helped Andrea or told her about your whereabouts. I helped her only because we were in the same club in college, and I heard her say she wanted to join your team.
“It just so happened that you were hospitalized, so I told her the news. I did accept some benefits, but I’ve returned the designer bag and money she gave me. Dr. Bennett, please don’t blame me! I’m really sorry!”
By the end, Lenka was almost crying.
Kaia gently lifted the nurse’s head and said, “I know exactly how Andrea operates. If she wants to use someone, she’ll sell them out and still have them thank her for it. You were just a pawn. I don’t blame you.”
Lenka felt relieved, tears threatening to fall.
But just as she relaxed, Kaia said seriously, “You betrayed me, and that’s a fact. Though I’ve forgiven you, you still deserve punishment.”
Lenka’s face turned pale with fright.
Kaia said with a smile, “Come outside for a walk with me. That’s your punishment.”
The nurse’s eyes reddened again. Kaia’s joke somehow made her tears roll down.
Kaia said, “Also, don’t call me Dr. Bennett. Just call me Kaia.”

Outside the hospital, a black Maybach slowly came to a stop.
Tobias helped a gray–haired old lady out of the car.
“Grandma, be careful. There’s a step here,” he said gently.
Pauline smiled and said, “It’s my legs that don’t work, not my eyes. I may be old, but my eyes are still sharp.”
Tobias said, “I’ve scheduled an incredible expert for you this time. He has extensive clinical experience in treating chronic arthritis in the legs, and I believe your legs will get better

soon.”

Pauline sighed, “Stop trying to comfort me. You’ve said all that before. This doctor is so skilled, and that professor has rich clinical experience–yet it still ended like this. It’s not that their medical skills aren’t good enough. It’s just that my chronic arthritis is too severe.”
“You’ll get better. I’m sure of it,” Tobias asserted as he helped Pauline walk toward the hospital.
