Joslyn trembled all over.
She didn’t forget that.
But it was such a good chance to show off tonight. How could she miss it?
She seemed to have made a mistake.
A surge of panic swept through her, leaving her gasping for air.
“Guards!” Darion ordered. “Cancel Joslyn’s jobs for the following month. Who dares to help her will be my enemy.”
Joslyn’s face paled. She wanted to say something more, but upon seeing Darion’s face, she didn’t dare to utter another word.
This was Darion’s punishment for her.
And she had to take it.
“It’s all Synthia’s fault!” she thought.
Joslyn believed there was nothing wrong with Darion’s punishment. In her eyes, Synthia should be to blame.
Shortly, Joslyn was taken away.
Meanwhile, Eugene came to report his findings to Darion.
“Mr. Raymond, I’ve looked into this,” Eugene said, “The two punks didn’t show up by accident. They were hired by Ms. Aguirre. There

was also a punk responsible for video recording. Dr. Duffy didn’t lie.”
Hearing that, Darion pulled a long face.
Synthia didn’t wrong Joslyn for real.
“Deal with the punks and give Dr. Duffy an explanation,” Darion reminded grimly. “You know what to do, right?”
Eugene took a glance at Darion and said, “Are you saying distancing Ms. Aguirre from this and only handling the three punks?”
That was what Darion meant.
But Eugene didn’t have to or shouldn’t point it out explicitly.
“She’ll pay for that.” Darion lowered his eyes and said, “You can leave first. Don’t let her approach Dr. Duffy for the following days.”
“Yes, Mr. Raymond.” Eugene nodded and added, “Oh, right, I’ve verified Dr. Duffy’s identity. Nothing different from the information we got before. Do you need me to investigate it further?”
Synthia’s background was simple and clean.
“No need.” Darion shook his head. “It’s not necessary to look into her
anymore.”
She was merely a doctor.
If not for the operation, he wouldn’t even know Synthia.
Just as she said, after the operation was over, they would never meet again.
He shouldn’t pay too much attention to a doctor.

“Yes, sir.”
A few days later.
Darion received a call from Synthia.
“Mr. Raymond, here’s the operation plan,” Synthia said directly. “But to play safe, before the operation, I need to give her a full body check. I hope you can understand.”
Brain surgery was risky. So, it was sort of a routine checkup.
“OK.” Darion answered without hesitation. “But I’m on a business trip now. It’ll take me a while to make it back. I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the Raymond Hospital.”
Synthia had no reason to reject that.
Besides, in her eyes, it was better that Darion wasn’t around.
She agreed without hesitation.
Shortly, a driver arrived and took Synthia to the Raymond Hospital.
But when they got to the hospital, they were told that Cynthea was missing.
“Sorry, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have told Cynthea that her brain would be cut open. It’s all my fault! She’s been behaving well. It’s my bad…”
Synthia heard the nanny talking on the phone as she got out of the car.
The call was to Darion.
But it didn’t matter.
Most importantly, the patient was called Cynthea?

“So, the lover Darion keeps in the hospital has the same name as me?
“And he agreed to marry me simply because our names are the same?
“So gross!” Synthia thought.
The nanny finished the call. Since the patient wasn’t here, Synthia meant to leave first. But the nanny suddenly sprang at her and grabbed her hand. “Dr. Duffy, Ms… Ms. Cynthea is missing. Mr. Raymond will be arriving soon. Please help me look for her.”
Synthia wanted to reject her.
But Cynthea’s condition wasn’t good indeed. She might really die if anything happened to her.
After all, it was about one’s life. Synthia couldn’t say no.
“Alright.” Synthia nodded. Having looked around, she asked, “Is there any security camera here?”
Cynthea was weak. Mostly, she was sitting in a wheelchair. She was also inferior in intelligence. So, even if she was missing, she wouldn’t go far away.
The nanny had looked everywhere but didn’t find her.
“Yes! Yes!” the nanny said with excitement. “Ms. Cynthea is sick and weak. Mr. Raymond has installed plenty of security cameras out of worry. I’ll have the security footage pulled.”
Synthia wanted to say she could do it.
But she didn’t.
Shortly, the nanny asked someone to rush the security footage from the

building. In the video, it was about an hour ago when Cynthea appeared for the last time.
It happened to be when Synthia came to the Raymond Hospital.
So, Cynthea was hiding from Synthia?
Synthia looked at the video and felt something weird. Cynthea had intelligence problems, but according to the security footage, before she was missing, she didn’t take the wheelchair and also showed an expression of horror.
Then, Cynthea got out of the SVIP Inpatient Building I.
She disappeared from the footage from then on.
“Do you have the security footage from outside the door?” Synthia
asked.
The nanny shook her head. “The door was a backdoor. It’s the road outside. Ms. Cynthea knows nothing at all. Never has she lived outside. She’ll be in danger if she goes out!”
After saying that, she kept sobbing.
Synthia took a tumble.
”
It was the public area outside. Ordinary people couldn’t access the security footage.
But she could.
Synthia was about to speak when a deafening boom suddenly split the sky. Then, a helicopter landed stably.
The next second, Darion got out of the helicopter.
