The price didn't matter; it was the fact that it was a gift from a friend.

"Maybe she truly appreciates us," Miranda said with a bitter smile, her joy over the gift vanishing.

Lilah felt a knot in her stomach.

Was Joselyn trying to sever ties quickly by expressing her gratitude so generously?

"Don't be too pessimistic. Perhaps she just wants to make up for everything," Gerard spoke soothingly.

Just as he finished speaking, Lilah's phone rang. It was Joselyn.

"Hello, Lilah, Lillie suddenly fell ill. Could Miranda come over to check on her?"

Joselyn's voice was particularly anxious on the other end.

The group hurried over.

Joselyn greeted them at the door, visibly relieved upon seeing Miranda.

Despite Lillie's reluctance at Miranda's arrival, she was forced to cooperate with Miranda's acupuncture. About an hour later, Lillie's condition improved significantly.

As they were leaving, a tall, slender man entered.

Dressed in a black suit, with a matching briefcase under his arm and gold-rimmed glasses, he had a handsome, gentle demeanor.

Lilah found her attention drawn to the man.

He appeared to be in his early forties, having a calm and professional presence, reminiscent of a seasoned doctor.

The name Melvin instantly flashed through her mind.

True to his name, the gentleman perfectly embodied it.

Unexpectedly, Joselyn also looked surprised. "Why are you here?

Didn't I tell you that I've already found an excellent doctor for Lillie?"

It seemed the two were acquainted.

Melvin offered a faint smile. "I'm just concerned about her.

That girl is outgoing and stubborn. Has she caused you any trouble lately?"

"My dear colleague, what a pleasant surprise, Miranda exclaimed in surprise. She was typically calm and composed, rarely expressing such astonishment.

This Melvin was none other than her senior colleague during her medical studies with Mr. Kent. However, back then, he didn't go by this name.
