As they walked, Pauline suddenly spoke. “Eh? That girl looks kind of familiar.”
Tobias didn’t think much of it until the old lady said again, “She looks like
your

fiancée.”
Tobias immediately followed Pauline’s gaze, and sure enough, he saw Kaia and wondered why she was wearing a hospital gown.
Kaia sensed someone staring at her with a burning gaze. She turned her head in confusion, then quickly looked away and walked off.
“Dr… Miss Bennett, what’s wrong? Didn’t you want to come out for a walk? Why are you going back so soon? Is it your head injury making you dizzy again?” Lenka asked worriedly, chasing after her.
Tobias glanced at Devin and instructed, “Support my grandmother.”
“Yes, boss.” Devin nodded.
Tobias strode quickly after Kaia and finally stopped her.
Kaia’s lips twitched helplessly as she said, “What a coincidence?”
Tobias’s gaze fell on the bandage around her forehead. His cold face hardened.
He asked, “You’re injured! How did you get hurt?”
“I-” Kaia stammered.
Tobias lashed out at her, “Don’t tell me you bumped into something while you were out eating with friends last night!”
Kaia moved her mouth slightly, her eyebrows furrowing.
Tobias stared at her, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his face was grim.
Lenka stood aside, glancing between Kaia and Tobias, dying to know what was going on
between them.
After a long while, Tobias spoke first. “Was it caused by racing last night?”
At those words, Kaia’s head snapped up, waves of unrest rippling in her beautiful eyes.
“So it really was you!” Tobias raised his hand and grabbed Kaia’s arm with both hands.

“Why didn’t you tell me you are Gale! You knew I was going to participate in the Pioneer Retreat competition and was looking for Gale. You’re my fiancée. Why did you represent K&B? And what is your relationship with Conrad? Why did you side with him? Is it because I’m an outsider to you?” With each word Tobias spoke, he grew angrier and angrier.
Anyone could see he was burning with jealousy.
Lenka covered her mouth. Her curiosity was practically written all over her face.
She thought, ‘Oh my god! Fiancée! Dr. Bennett is actually engaged. If this gets out, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout Wustriland!‘
Lenka’s eyes
fell on Tobias’s stunningly handsome face, and suddenly Andrea’s words popped into her mind.
Andrea had said Kaia was being kept by some old man. If she knew that her so–called “old nan” looked like this, she’d probably pass out from sheer shock.
Kaia took Tobias’s hand off her shoulder. “First, thank you for caring so much about me. But I hould tell you, our engagement is over. Once I find a suitable place to live, I’ll move out. And I want to make this clear. Conrad and I are not what you think. Say what you want about me, out Conrad is in his prime and single. If rumors spread, how will he ever find a girlfriend?”
ust those few words lightened Tobias’s mood, and his face softened.
Still, he asked, “Are you really not in that kind of relationship with him?”
Kaia rolled her eyes at the man.
Tobias grinned, flashing white teeth. Even her eye roll looked beautiful to him now that he was in a good mood.
I just love hearing you explain yourself to me,” Tobias teased.
Kaia couldn’t be bothered to roll her eyes again.
‘But-“Tobias suddenly straightened, his smile vanishing, his face tightening again. “I’m still upset that you got hurt because of Conrad.”
Kaia supported her forehead and said helplessly, “Then, should I get injured for you next time? Will that balance things out?”
“No.” Tobias’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he declared, “I won’t allow you to get hurt
because of me!”
Suddenly, something hit Kaia like a ripple through still water. Her heart skipped a beat, but

her face stayed calm.

Tobias suddenly curved his lips, surveying Kaia with a proud look in his eyes. “As expected of my fiancée, you’re far too talented. I’m really curious. How many other hidden talents do you have? I really want to uncover them all.”
Kaia just looked at him with a half–smile and said nothing.
“By the way, Russell is one of your biggest fans. If he knew you were his racing idol, Gale, he’d probably go insane,” Tobias continued, talking to himself.
At that moment, Devin helped Pauline walk over.
Tobias said unhappily, “Devin, didn’t I tell you to stay put with my grandmother? Her legs aren’t strong. Why did you bring her over?”
Devin was covered in cold sweat.
“Don’t blame Devin. I asked him to help me over.” Pauline looked at Kaia and Tobias standing together with a smile. “Can’t I take a look at my future granddaughter–in–law?”
“Hello, Mdm. Walsh.” Kaia greeted politely.
Pauline said with a smile, “You are engaged to Tobias, sweetheart. Don’t be so polite. Just call me Pauline.”
“He and I-” Kaia was about to explain, but Tobias cut her off. “Grandma is right, Kaia. Don’t be so formal.”
Both of their reactions caught Kaia off guard and softened her heart.
Then her
eyes fell on Pauline’s legs and pale face. Suddenly, she understood why Tobias had interrupted her, so she said, “Pauline.”
“Oh! Wonderful!” Pauline looked pleased.
Tobias knew that Kaia was just so kind.
“It’s about time for your appointment. Grandma, let me take you to the doctor,” Tobias said, checking his watch.
“Okay.” Pauline nodded.
Kaia looked at Pauline’s legs and crouched down, pressing gently on them.
This made both Tobias and Pauline glance at each other in surprise.

After a few seconds, Kaia looked up and said, “Pauline, you’ve had this chronic arthritis for at least twenty years, right?”
Pauline was surprised. “Yes! It has indeed been more than twenty years. How did you know?”
“I just gave a few squeezes earlier. That’s how I figured it out,” Kaia replied casually.
“You know medicine?” Tobias asked in shock.
“A little.” Kaia was being modest.
“Wow, I almost believed you were a trained doctor. If that were true, you’d be a total jack–of- all–trades.” Tobias said. For a brief moment, he really thought so.
Later, after hearing Kaia’s answer and thinking about it carefully, he figured it was unlikely that Kaia would have excellent medical skills.
Tobias pondered, ‘Smart people can pick up things like playing chess, racing, floral art, car repair, and so on quickly. But medicine requires experience, countless clinical trials, and years of practice. Normally, the older the doctor, the better the skill.
‘But Kaia is only 20 years old, and her life has barely begun. How could she have that kind of medical experience?‘
Just as Tobias was thinking this, Kaia said, “Why don’t you let me try? I’m pretty sure I can heal Pauline’s legs.”
