Chapter 3:

The moment Marissa spoke, all attention shifted to her. Connor, deep in grief, seemed to only now remember her presence, turning his head sharply toward her with fierce anger in his eyes

Marissa instinctively took a step back, feeling as if she was walking dangerously on the edge of a knife. “Isn’t that the runaway bride from the Nash family?” “How dare she show her face here?” The crowd looked at her with evident disdain. Marissa felt like prey surrounded by a pack of wolves. Cautiously, she asked Connor, “May I see Mrs. Daniels? Perhaps I could be of some help.”

“What?!” Everyone was shocked. Lorna let out a sharp, mocking laugh and said, “Miss Nash, are you out of your mind? Everyone knows you never finished high school. When did you become a medical expert?”

Upon seeing the kit, the doctors scoffed, and the observers mocked her even more. They had anticipated some sophisticated medical intervention, but she resorted to acupuncture, which many regarded as mere folklore. Arabella’s heart had stopped functioning; not even surgery could save her, and Marissa thought a few needles would revive her? Connor must be out of his mind to allow her to treat Arabella. Arabella was so revered. How could Marissa be permitted to mess with her body? It was a disrespect to
