Giovanni saw Darlene hesitate and promised, “Don’t worry. I am a doctor. I’m responsible for curing diseases and saving people. If you want to hide your illness from

your family, I will respect you, but the premise is that you will cooperate with the treatment.”

Darlene was silent for a long time, knowing that since she had come to do the examination, she could not hide her illness.

Giovanni stopped in his tracks and advised Darlene with a grim face, “Darlene, you moved into the Gallard’s house when you were twelve. I have always been on good terms with the Gallard family. I watched you grow up.
