Chloe and Eric entered the consultation room to find a young man casually perched on the exam table, scrolling through his phone.

He was tall and dressed head–to–toe in designer streetwear, complete with an earring, a pinky ring, and a messy crop of hair streaked with dusty lavender. The whole look screamed expensive and trendy.

A middle–aged man who looked like a butler stood by with his hands folded, flanked by several bodyguards in suits and sunglasses.

Eric walked up to Thomas. “Mr. Bingham, the doctor for Mr. Logan is here. If you could all please wait outside.”

The man bowed respectfully to the young man. “Mr. Logan, we’ll be waiting for you right outside.”

As Mr. Bingham and the bodyguards left, Arthur Logan slowly lowered his phone.

He propped himself up on his hands, leaning back slightly in a lazy, casual pose.

His brownish–gray eyes brazenly sized Chloe up. “She looks more like a decorative piece than a doctor. Are you sure she’s qualified, Mr. Jordan?”

Chloe couldn’t help but frown.

It was the first time anyone had described her as a fragile antique, and she was offended.

Eric shot Chloe an awkward glance. “Dr. Irvine is our hospital’s leading expert in sleep disorders. If you’re willing, Mr. Logan, she’ll be your attending physician.”

Arthur beckoned to Chloe with a crooked finger. “Expert, come over here.”

Chloe didn’t move.

She said coolly, “You’re the patient, and I’m the doctor. If you can’t show basic respect, then you should find someone else.”

Solving insomnia requires a patient’s full cooperation.

This

guy was clearly going to be a handful.

If she didn’t set the ground rules now, her work would be impossible.

Arthur was shocked that someone wasn’t playing along.

With an exaggerated look of disbelief, he hopped off the table.

He walked right up to Chloe, using his height to loom over her, his presence immediately intimidating.

He put his hands on his hips, leaned down, and stared at Chloe’s beautiful face. “Wow, you’ve got more

attitude than I do. Who are your parents?”

Staring at Arthur’s mixed–heritage features up close, Chloe realized for the first time that a man could be more beautiful than a woman.

Jan’s handsomeness was rugged and masculine, a lethal attraction fueled by raw testosterone.

But the man in front of her had an androgynous, almost otherworldly beauty.

Compelling and dangerous.

Meeting his brownish–gray eyes, Chloe asked him, “So, are you getting treatment or not?”

Arthur gestured theatrically between Chloe and himself before turning to Eric. “She’s a doctor, and she dares to talk to me like that?”

Eric hesitated for a moment before reminding him, “Dr. Irvine is Mr. Hamilton’s wife.”

Arthur asked, “Which Mr. Hamilton?”

Eric replied, “Ian Hamilton. From the Hamilton family of Kingsford, Avalonia.”

Arthur stared at Chloe and let out a few short, sharp laughs that made the hair on her arms stand up.

Although she didn’t want to be associated with Ian anymore, Eric had already brought him up, so there was nothing she could say.

Arthur’s brownish–gray eyes were fixed on Chloe. “I’ll do it.

“If you cure me, I’ll be your biggest cheerleader. But if you don’t, and you make my condition worse…”

He chuckled to himself. ‘I’ll make your husband pay.’

Chloe said cautiously, “I can treat you, but you have to cooperate.”

She didn’t know why this guy had suddenly agreed to treatment the moment he heard she was ‘Mrs. Hamilton,’ but she needed to make a name for herself in this field and wasn’t going to pass up such a rare opportunity.

Arthur said, “One hundred percent.”

Chloe immediately ordered a full physical examination for Arthur.

After Arthur left the room, Eric told Chloe, “The Logan family is an old–money dynasty in Europe, Mr. Logan is the youngest grandson, and he’s had insomnia for three years. They’ve seen every famous doctor in the

world.”

Eric continued, “If you can cure him, you’ll make a name for yourself overnight. You’ll have a place among the top sleep disorder specialists in the world.”

Ready for the challenge, Chloe embraced it. “Don’t worry, Eric. I’ll do my best.”

The two of them left the consultation room and walked past a patient’s room where the TV was playing a financial news segment featuring an exclusive interview with Ian.

Seeing lan on the screen, looking distinguished and gentlemanly in his suit, a sarcastic smile touched Chloe’s lips.

Who would have thought that such an outstanding man was not only keeping his first love and their illegitimate son on the side, but could also be so cold and calculating toward his own wife without a shred of guilt.

Chloe emotionlessly tore her gaze away and walked off without a word.

Just as Ian finished his interview, he got a call from Andrea.

At ten in the morning, they met at a coffee shop.

Ian looked around. “Didn’t you say Clint was crying because he wanted to see me? Where is he?”
