Chapter 15
Calvin grumbled the moment they were alone.
Thankfully, the man released his collar almost immediately. Otherwise, they would probably end up on the front page of society news.
But Calvin knew better than to run back to the beautiful young lady without appeasing the jealous king.
“Bryan, I don’t care how much you like me, but why did you do that? I’m so embarrassed! Anyway, Finley and I are fated for each other. I’d appreciate it if you did not come between true love.”
Bryan’s gloomy face darkened and he sneered, “True love?”
Calvin declared confidently, “Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll invite you to the wed-”
Before Calvin finished speaking, a hard punch landed on his stomach.
“Ow!”
Calvin held his stomach and complained noisily, “What the h*II! Bryan! Is this how you treat your good friend? I’ve blocked so many women for you, why can’t you let me have a shot at love with the amazing Fin-”
Unable to stand another word out of Calvin’s mouth about his supposed relationship with Finley, Bryan snapped, “She is my wife.”
Even though they were in a contract marriage and he had rejected her the night before, seeing another man hit on his wife set his teeth on edge. When Finley had smiled at the b*stard, he almost punched the man there and then.
Still lost in his daydream, Calvin was confused.
“Huh? Who? You’re married? What does that have to do with-”
Seeing the glare on Bryan’s usually expressionless face, a lightbulb clicked on in Calvin’s head.

“Sir…”
“What?”
Harry gulped, “Someone has been sniffing around your medical records. They’ve found out that you’ve been visiting ENT specialists for treatment. They were watching you closely today and are sure that you have lost your sense of smell.”
“Where are they?” Bryn asked tersely.
“They’ve been dealt with, Sir. And we have suppressed the news. But there’s always the risk of exposure.”
Bryan fisted his hands as Harry continued, “The best way to turn this into a mere rumor is to treat you. Perhaps Mrs. Turner…”
“Her perfume only works temporarily.”
Harry sighed, it was too bad. But not all was lost.
“Sir, there is some good news. We heard rumors that the miracle doctor has appeared in the capital.”
It was said that the Miracle Doctor was given the nickname because he or she saved an important
Head of State from the jaws of death when all other doctors had given up.
However, after that feat of greatness, no one had seen even a shadow of the doctor. The only proof the person existed was the currently hale and hearty Head of State.
There were rumors that the miracle doctor was moody and would only see patients when the mood struck.
“We have news that the miracle doctor will be meeting Dr. Nina Evans in Central Hospital soon.” Bryan nodded, “Keep an eye on that doctor and the hospital.”
“Yes, Sir!”
The next day, at six o’clock in the afternoon, a figure wearing a mask, a cap, and dressed head-to-toe in black walked into Dr. Nina Evan’s office.
The multiple pairs of eyes tracked the person’s movements and a call immediately went out.
