CHAPTER 127 PART 2
"Because if Dr. Webb begins administering medication or interventions based on an incomplete diagnosis, it might counteract what my specialist will need to do when he arrives." Vincent's expression was serious. "Different treatment protocols can interact badly. If Webb starts one approach and my specialist needs to implement another, they could render both ineffective. Or worse, create complications that make it impossible to determine the original cause of the cardiac failure."The logic made sense, but Gianna felt torn. On one side stood Dr. Peter Webb—celebrity physician, recognized expert, with credentials plastered across television screens and bestseller lists. On the other side stood Vincent, asking her to delay treatment based on a mysterious specialist who hadn't even arrived yet."Vincent, I want to trust you." Gianna's voice cracked slightly. "Your confidence, the way you care about this—it makes me want to believe. But it's not easy. Not after what Kevin just did, bringing
CHAPTER 128 PART 1
Rocco had been hovering near the edges of Vincent and Gianna's conversation, pretending to check his phone while actually straining to hear every word. When Vincent said the name "Dr. Carl Jensen," Rocco's eyes went wide with malicious delight.This was perfect. This was exactly what he needed to restore his standing after the humiliation of Dr. Ferretti's dismissal and Kevin's triumph with Dr. Webb.Rocco practically ran back to the main waiting room, his voice rising to carry over the ambient conversation."Everyone! Everyone, you need to hear this!" Rocco's face was flushed with excitement and vindictive pleasure. "You won't believe what the Temu husband just told Gianna!"The waiting room quieted, heads turning toward Rocco. Kevin paused mid-conversation with Dr. Webb. Isabella looked up from where she'd been praying. Even the hospital staff stopped what they were doing to listen."Vincent—" Rocco could barely contain his laughter. "Vincent just claimed that he's bringing Dr. Carl
CHAPTER 128 PART 2
"What else could it be?" Gianna's hands clenched into fists. "I tried to set you up with that seductress. I planted cameras in your room. I've been cruel and dismissive and desperate to get rid of you. And now, when my grandmother is dying, when I'm at my most vulnerable—you decide to make a fool of me with these impossible lies!""I'm not lying—""Yes, you are!" Gianna's voice broke. "You've been lying from the start! About who you are, about your connections, about everything! And I kept believing you because I was desperate and scared and stupid enough to think that maybe—just maybe—you actually cared!"The waiting room was completely silent now, watching the meltdown with a mixture of pity and schadenfreude.Vincent took a step toward Gianna, his hand reaching out. "I do care—""Don't touch me!" Gianna jerked back. "Don't you dare! You've humiliated me enough for one day!"She turned away from him, her shoulders shaking, and looked at Kevin and Dr. Webb. Her voice was hoarse when
CHAPTER 129 PART 1
Gianna couldn't bear to be in the same space as Vincent anymore. Every second she spent looking at him was another reminder of how thoroughly he'd made a fool of her. How she'd defended him, claimed him as "her man," even kissed him in that moment of vulnerability.God, that kiss.Her heart had fluttered. Actually fluttered like some ridiculous teenager experiencing her first crush. And it had been for such scum. Such an absolute fraud who'd been playing her from the very beginning.Gianna turned and walked away, heading toward the hospital cafeteria or the parking lot or anywhere that wasn't within sight of Vincent's face.Behind her, Vincent stood alone near the ICU entrance. For the first time since this entire nightmare had begun, his carefully maintained composure showed cracks. His jaw was tight, a muscle twitching beneath his skin. His eyes, usually so controlled and neutral, held something that looked dangerously close to pain.But he kept himself together. Barely. Just barely
CHAPTER 129 PART 2
The sound of running footsteps preceded Gianna's return. She'd only made it halfway to the cafeteria when she heard Kevin's shout. Her heart seized with fear—had something happened to Nonna? Had Vincent done something worse?She burst back into the waiting room to find Kevin on the floor, his face bright red with the unmistakable imprint of a hand across his cheek. Vincent stood over him, looking like barely restrained violence given human form."What happened?" Gianna demanded, her eyes darting between them."He attacked me!" Kevin gestured at his face, his voice pitched with false distress. "I was just—I was just telling him that Dr. Webb and I would do our best for Nonna, that we'd give her the absolute best care possible—and he just snapped! Hit me across the face like some kind of vicious animal!"The lie came out smooth and practiced, hitting all the right notes of shocked innocence and undeserved victimization.Gianna looked at Vincent, waiting for him to deny it, to explain, t
Chapter 130 PART 1
Vincent walked through the hospital corridors, each step measured and controlled despite the chaos raging inside him. Behind him, the waiting room erupted with jeers and insults."Good riddance!""Finally showing his true colors!""Violent thug!""Poor Gianna, stuck with that animal!"Kevin's voice rose above the others, milking his victim status for everything it was worth. "I just wanted to help, and he attacked me! You all saw it!"Isabella's shrill agreement followed. "My daughter married a monster! A delusional, violent monster!"The words washed over Vincent like dirty water, but what cut deepest wasn't the crowd's contempt. It was Gianna's face. The way she'd looked at him with such absolute conviction that he was the villain. The way she'd believed Kevin—Kevin, who'd just threatened to murder her grandmother—without asking a single question.Without giving Vincent even a chance to explain.He'd done so much for her. Protected her from schemes she didn't even know existed. Save
CHAPTER 130 PART 2
Because standing in the corridor, having just exited the elevator, was a group of five physicians in immaculate white coats. The lead figure was unmistakable—mid-fifties, distinguished bearing, an air of absolute authority that filled the entire hallway.Dr. Carl Jensen.The actual, genuine, no-question-about-it Dr. Carl Jensen.Dr. Webb's mouth fell open. His team froze behind him, equally shocked."Dr. Jensen?" Dr. Webb's voice came out strangled. "What—how—"Carl Jensen barely glanced at him, his attention focused on the chart one of his team members was already pulling up on a tablet. "Dr. Webb. I didn't realize you were involved in this case.""I—yes, I was just about to begin treatment—""Were you." It wasn't a question. Carl's tone was polite but dismissive, the same way someone might acknowledge a child's attempt to help with adult work. "Well, no need now. My team will handle it from here.""But I've already reviewed the patient's file and developed a treatment protocol—""I'
Chapter 131
The waiting room remained frozen in stunned silence, every person trying to process what they'd just witnessed. It felt surreal, like something out of a movie where impossible things happened because the script demanded it.Just minutes ago—mere minutes—they'd been laughing at Vincent. Mocking him. Calling him delusional for even daring to speak Dr. Carl Jensen's name. The waiting room had echoed with cruel laughter, with Isabella's declaration that her daughter had married a dreamer, with Kevin's smug superiority.And now the actual Dr. Carl Jensen stood in front of them. Not a lookalike. Not some elaborate prank. The real man, whose face they'd seen in medical journals and news coverage, whose presence commanded a level of respect that even Dr. Webb couldn't match.It was impossible. Yet here he was.Gianna felt like the floor had dropped out from under her. Her hand flew to her mouth, covering a gasp that escaped despite her efforts to contain it. Shame crashed over her in waves so
Chapter 132 PART 1
The waiting room buzzed with confused conversation as everyone tried to make sense of what they'd just witnessed. Questions flew from all directions, overlapping and contradictory."Did Dr. Carl Jensen really come because of Vincent?""Vincent? That nobody contract husband?""It can't be possible. Can it?""How would someone like Vincent even have Dr. Jensen's phone number?""Maybe it's a different Dr. Jensen?""Don't be ridiculous, we all recognized his face!""But Vincent is just a security consultant! He answered a newspaper ad!"The cognitive dissonance was painful to witness. Everything they knew about Vincent—everything they'd believed, every insult they'd hurled, every laugh they'd shared at his expense—was crashing against the undeniable reality that Dr. Carl Jensen had just walked through those doors.Rocco, standing in the midst of this confusion with his face still burning from Dr. Jensen's casual dismissal, saw an opportunity in the chaos. Dr. Jensen's silence when Rocco h
CHAPTER 132 PART 2
Isabella rushed forward and embraced Rocco, tears streaming down her face. "Thank you! Thank you so much! You've saved my mother!""Let's wait for Dr. Jensen's evaluation before celebrating," Rocco said with false modesty. "But yes, I'm confident he'll find a way to help."The praise washed over him like a drug. This was what he'd wanted—recognition, status, the family's gratitude. And he was getting it all because of a well-timed lie and Dr. Jensen's convenient silence.Kevin watched from his chair, his face darkening with rage. He couldn't believe this. Just when he'd thought he had the upper hand with Dr. Webb, Rocco had somehow one-upped him with Dr. Carl Jensen himself.Except Kevin seriously doubted Rocco's story. The Rocco he knew—the spoiled heir who traded on his father's name and had never built anything of his own—didn't have the kind of strings necessary to summon Dr. Carl Jensen on a few hours' notice.This was bullshit. Complete bullshit.But Kevin couldn't prove it. And
