Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Despite Sebastian’s gentle coaxing, it took another ten minutes before Stephanie finally relented. She allowed the doctor to take a quick glance, just a fleeting moment.

But for a skilled doctor, that was all it took. Afterward, the doctor prescribed some new medications–pills and creams to help with her recovery.

Stephanie let Sebastian apply the medicine, feeling a sense of resignation. She popped a pill into her mouth and grimaced. “Ugh, this is so bitter,” she complained, her face scrunching up in distaste.

Sebastian quickly popped a piece of candy into her mouth. “Better?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement

Stephanie rolled her eyes. “You’re so busy. You should go,” she said softly, her voice tinged with concern.

They had agreed that he would only stay for a few days before heading back to Fiorenza. He had work to finish. Besides, Ella was in Fiorenza, and Stephanie couldn’t shake the feeling of unease she had after talking to her on the phone.

“Just take a nap. You looked exhausted on the plane,” Sebastian said, his voice gentle. He remembered how she had barely been able to keep her eyes open, how he had practically carried her to bed.

“Okay,” she murmured, her eyes already growing heavy. She wasn’t sure if it was the injuries or just sheer exhaustion, but sleep seemed to be calling her name.

Sebastian tucked the blanket around her, making sure she was comfortable.

At the Hart residence, Allison had just examined Olivia. She then flatly declared, “Her condition has deteriorated so much that I’m out of options.”

Both Catlin and Olivia were stunned by her words. They exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with sorrow. For Olivia, there was an added layer of fear–fear of death.

“Mom,” she choked out, her voice trembling with grief and pain.

Catlin’s heart ached. “Dr. Pierce, is there truly no other way?” she pleaded, her voice quivering.

In Catlin’s eyes, even though Allison knew Olivia might have framed Amber in the same way she had framed Stephanie, she was still determined to do everything in her power to save Olivia.

Seeing Allison’s silence, she continued, “You’re a genius doctor of the younger generation. Everyone says you’re an expert in this field, that you can snatch people from the jaws of death. You must have a way, right?”

Olivia said, “Yes, Dr. Pierce, you surely must have a way, don’t you? Please save me. I don’t want to die.”

Since being discharged from the hospital, Olivia had pinned all her hopes on Allison, the first doctor she had seen in a long time.

At that moment, she had completely forgotten that Allison was best friends with Stephanie. She had also forgotten what she had done to Stephanie–who had always been her retribution.

Allison replied, “It’s not that there isn’t a way, but the cost would definitely be quite high.”
