Chapter 0003

North Avenue was an hour and a half drive from South Avenue.

Suzy arrived at the Goodwin family's estate as promised in disguise.

Using the pretense of treating an illness, she took the opportunity to hypnotize Martin. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to extract any useful information.

As she left, deep in thought, a sudden pain shot through her forehead as she bumped into someone...

"Sorry..."

The apology got stuck in her throat the moment she recognized the face.

Dylan?

What was he doing here?

It was truly a case of enemies crossing paths in the most unexpected of places!

In less than two seconds, Suzy tore her gaze away and walked off, her expression completely indifferent.

Dylan stood there, confused.

She was about to apologize to him, so why did her attitude change the moment she saw him?

Especially how she suddenly looked at him—it was as if they were mortal enemies.

Dylan turned, watching the direction she went, his eyes narrowing.

That figure looked just like Suzy...

“Mr. Wright, we're so honored by your presence. I'm sorry for not greeting you properly...”

The voice of the Goodwin family's butler snapped Dylan out of his thoughts.

By the time he glanced back, the woman had disappeared.

Following the butler to see Martin, Dylan found the old man looking healthy, his complexion rosy, as if fully recovered from his illness.

Dylan wasted no time and stated his reason for coming.

But the reply was unexpected: the miracle doctor had just left, barely moments ago.

Dylan was speechless.

The woman he had run into earlier, the one with freckles all over her face—was she the miracle doctor?

Knowing it was already too late to chase after her, Dylan quickly bid farewell to Martin.

To his surprise, the woman hadn't left yet.

Seeing her car just start to pull away, Dylan hurried over, “Wait a sec—"

But his words were drowned out by the roar of the engine.
