Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

His children were even more grateful toward Annalise now.

His daughter even removed her bracelet that was worth a few hundred thousand dollars and gave it to Annalise. “Thank you so much, Dr. Barton! Thank you!”

“You are very welcome. It is my job to save patients. I am very happy to be able to help you all too. Please keep your bracelet, Annalise rejected the gift.

The patient’s daughter wanted to persist.

Her mentor, Joseph, then spoke up. “Patsy, don’t keep insisting. My student is very stubborn and is even more stubborn than I am. If you insist, she might lose her temper.”

The patient’s daughter immediately put her bracelet away. “Fine, I won’t insist then. No matter what, our family will always remember your good deed. Just let us know if there is anything we can help you with. As long as it is within our capacity, we will definitely do it.”

Annalise then prescribed more medicine and informed her that the patient was weak. Hence, it was not

advisable to move the patient around. It was best that he could rest and recover here for a week.

If that was not possible, they should at least aim to have him recuperate for three days.

As long as he took his daily medicine, there will be progress every day.

After one week, he could recuperate at home.

“Yes, yes.” The patient’s children were incredibly moved.

It did not matter how many days it took, as his life was already saved.

They immediately agreed to follow the doctor’s instructions to stay here for seven days.

After all, Joseph was here too and Annalise had superb medical skills. They would be more than relieved to have the patient stay here.

The next day, Annalise only managed to reply to Julian’s WhatsApp message at noon: “I’m so sorry. I’ve been busy until now.”

Julian replied very quickly. He was not in the mood for work as he was just waiting for her WhatsApp reply.

The moment he received her message, he replied immediately: “It’s all right. Have you eaten?”

Annalise: “Yes, I’m just about to. I’ll come over after I eat. It will take about three hours.”

Julian: “All right, I’ll wait for you. Drive slowly and carefully.”

Annalise could not help but smile to herself as she replied: “Okay.”

After sending the message, Annalise suddenly felt a dark shadow flash across her eyes.

She retreated instantly.

Then, Dariel’s arm reached out swiftly in an attempt to snatch her phone.

Annalise immediately avoided the phone.

Dariel’s fist aimed at her again, and Annalise dodged it quickly.

Next, Dariel’s kick came toward her.

Annalise leaped up high.

Meanwhile, Dariel charged toward her with a series of moves.

Annalise defended against every single one of them.

Soon, they were in a close fight.

It took a while before he stopped and said with satisfaction, “Not bad. I haven’t seen you for a month, but your are still so agile. I can tell that you did not let yourself go.”

Joseph smiled and teased him, “That’s because you are old, and you can’t fight as much. One should always. admit one’s age. Look at me, I used to lord over the medical field, but today I can’t even administer a needle.”

“You may be old but not me. I am just 79 this year.” He refused to acknowledge his age.

Joseph deliberately hit him where it hurt the most. “Yes, you are 79 this year. After this, you are going to be 80 and old.”

Dariel looked miserable.

Annalise chuckled and held onto the arms of both of her mentors. “All right, you are both not old. You are going to live until 200 years old.”

“Haha, then we will become old monsters!” Both of her mentors laughed heartily.

“Haha, you are not old. In my heart, you are always going to be young,” Annalise said with a smile.

“You little flatterer!”

“Let’s go for a meal! After this, I still have to rush back to the city and attend an event with Ms. Tuffin,” Annalise said.

Dariel was not happy to hear that. “Hmph, you have time for Madeline but no time for two old things like us? Is it because she has more money?”

Joseph did not agree. “What do you mean? I am the richest. Look at this, which patient did not offer me hundreds of thousands in consultation fees? It’s just that I’ve rejected them each time. If I were willing to

accept the fees, our courtyard could barely fit in all the money.”

Seeing that Dariel was about to launch a retort, Annalise smiled and said, “I’m hungry!”

“Let’s go then!” Dariel immediately said.

Annalise said, “It’s too rushed this time. Wait for me to have some free time, and I will definitely spend some quality time with you and cook good meals for you every day.”

Dariel smiled widely, which created more wrinkles on his face. “We have been waiting for you to say just that. I’ve been waiting for about six months to have some braised ribs and grilled chicken”

“I’ll make that for you in a few days when I am back,” Annalise said.

They all then headed out to eat.

After that, Annalise rushed back to the city.

Since Julian received Annalise’s WhatsApp message, he could not stop smiling to himself.

He kept looking at the time when he was working.

Now that he had something to look forward to, he suddenly felt like he had more zeal in life and was actually more productive at work.

Beep!

Suddenly, his phone rang. He thought it was a message from Annalise, and his gaze grew softer.

However, it was just a spam message.

He deleted it and continued working.

Finally, his phone rang again, and he took a look.

It was a message from Annalise: “I’m downstairs. Shall we go for the makeover now?”

Julian immediately typed a reply: “Yes. I’ll be down immediately.”

He immediately put down his work and went to the restroom to straighten up his clothes and hair in the mirror before rushing downstairs.

Annalise was in a car that was worth around 30 thousand dollars. She rolled down her window and smiled at

Julian. “Get in!”
