Chapter 1843

Karina sensed the girl's unfriendly gaze and instinctively moved closer to Wilfred. Without a word, Wilfred casually placed a hand on her shoulder, a subtle but protective gesture.

The girl's jealousy flared even stronger at the sight. Forcing a strained smile, she turned to Karina and asked, "And who might this be?"

Wilfred answered before Karina could speak. "This is Karina, my... friend."

As he spoke, he glanced at Karina, a trace of warmth flickering in his gaze, unnoticed by anyone but her.

The girl let out a faint scoff. "A friend, huh? Dr. Wilfred, you're always so busy with work. It's rare for you to take time off, yet you didn't think to invite me? I thought we were close. After all, you took such good care of me when I was your patient." Her voice was laced with grievance and subtle reproach.

Wilfred frowned slightly. His tone remained polite but distant. "It's good that you've recovered. Taking time off is just for relaxation. I didn't give it much thought."

Though Karina felt uncomfortable with the girl's passive-aggressive remarks, she maintained her composure. Smiling politely, she said, "Hello. Since you were treated by Dr. Wilfred, I trust you're fully recovered. Wishing you continued good health."
