NovelEnglishRomeo settled his gaze on Arabella, his voice hushed with intrigue, "You did a lifesaving stint at the hospital yesterday?"
"Just a deal," she replied curtly.
With those three words, Romeo pieced it together. She must have performed surgery for someone in exchange for a reward.
"The hospital you went to happened to be under his name," Romeo clarified.
That's when Arabella connected the dots. No wonder Derrick knew about her identity as Dr. Bell.
"It's all destiny, pure destiny," Derrick chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. He couldn't believe that the girl he'd taken a fancy to
was his best mate's fiancée.
He felt an urge to cry.
At that moment, it seemed like the whole world was basking in love and affection, leaving him the sole castaway in the sea of
solitude.

Even Timothy, the eternal bachelor, managed to snag a coffee date.
While he hadn't even started dating, he already felt like going through a breakup!
Timothy was astonished at Arabella's accomplishments, not to mention her secret identity as a medical prodigy. She looked no
older than a teenager, yet she was already a lead surgeon.
The surgeons at Derrick's hospital were notoriously arrogant, but they allowed Arabella to be the lead.
Her medical skills must be off the charts.
"We were just guessing what occupation the girl he likes might have."
Perhaps worried that Arabella would feel out of place and bored, Romeo brought up their earlier conversation, with his eyes shifting
to Derrick, "So which is it? Artist, author, celebrity, teacher, lawyer, or doctor?"
Derrick felt an even stronger urge to cry. Please, no more questions, he silently pleaded, already feeling utterly humiliated.
Just then, Timothy had his mouth dropped open as if he had figured something out, "You were at the hospital yesterday and saw
Arabella in surgery, and then you mentioned meeting a special girl. You're not talking about?"
He shifted his gaze incredulously between Derrick and Arabella, while Romeo narrowed his eyes with a hint of danger.
"Quit joking around," Derrick,with his survival instincts kicking in, quickly deflected, "Arabella, don't get it wrong, Timothy just loves
to tease."
Arabella didn't jump to conclusions, but Romeo seemed to see right through Derrick with his intense stare.
He quietly asked the girl beside him, "Bella, did you encounter anyone unusual at the hospital?"
Arabella shook her head.
She had spent only two hours in the rest room after the surgery, waiting till that Sean guy woke up and signed the island sale
agreement before leaving.
"The special girl | mentioned is a celebrity. Maybe when | catch her interest, I'll introduce her to you."

With this deflection, Derrick grabbed a cup of coffee and took a couple of sips, laughing to mask his discomfort.
Timothy was about to point out that it was his coffee but seeing Derrick already sipping from it, he decided to keep quiet.
"What's her name?" Romeo's gaze remained fixed on Derrick. "I remember you said once that the showbiz crowd wasn't your cup
of tea."
"Just, you know, the one who plays the piano and sings beautifully." Derrick was clueless about the current celebrities; he'd lost
interest in the entertainment industry long ago after finding none of the celebrities appealing.
"A musical talent? My fiancée might know her," Romeo mentioned, casting a tender glance at Arabella as he introduced, "My
fiancée has two other personas: she's Melody and Summer."
"You gotta be kidding." Both Derrick and Timothy looked utterly shocked. This woman had already revealed so many facets of her
life, and now she was also Maestro Melody and Teacher Summer?
Not too long ago, the intebuzzed with speculation when Summer made a surprise appearance at a David Collins concert.
Everyone was hoping for a romance between them.
