Daniel gave Aella an approving look. “Your private research on sleep–disorder treatments is already showing results in clinical trials. I’ve discussed it with the hospital. When you return at the end of the year, they will open a special department just for you. You’ll lead the team and receive a share of the profits.”

His words filled Aella with confidence.

She didn’t bother with formalities. “Daniel, thank you for helping me. I’ll do my best.”

She needed money. A lot of it. She had to buy back Miriam’s jewelry.

Daniel said, “Come on. I’ll introduce you to the patient.”

Aella reminded him, “Daniel, maybe we should ask Dr. Harrison to join us.”

Daniel stayed relaxed. “This patient is extremely picky. He’s got a bad temper and cares only about appearances.”

He added with a sigh, “He said Dr. Harrison’s hair was thinning and he didn’t have abs. Not only did he reject him, he even demanded the hospital pay him for an eye wash.”

Aella followed Daniel into the exam room. A young man sat casually on the desk, scrolling through his phone as if he owned the place.

He was tall, dressed in trendy clothes, wearing an earring and a ring on his pinky. His hair was dyed a soft lavender–purple that gave him a polished, high–end look.

Beside him stood a middle–aged man who looked like a butler, hands folded neatly in front of him, while several bodyguards in suits and sunglasses waited behind.

Daniel approached the butler. “Sebastian, Dr. Reid is here to see Mr. Locke. Please wait outside.”

Sebastian Stone spoke respectfully to Sayer Locke. “Mr. Locke, we’ll wait outside for you.”

Sebastian left with the guards. Sayer slowly put down his phone.

He leaned back against the desk, hands braced behind him, his posture lazy and confident.

His gray–brown eyes wandered over Aella without restraint. “She looks like something you’d put on a display shelf. You sure she’s a doctor, Mr. Hill?”

Aella frowned. It was the first time anyone had ever compared her to something meant for display and she found it downright insulting.

Daniel gave her an awkward glance. “Dr. Reid is our hospital’s sleep–disorder specialist. Mr. Locke, if you’re willing, she’ll be your attending physician.”

Sayer gestured at her. “Hey, expert, come here.”

Aella didn’t move. Her face stayed cold. “You’re the patient and I’m the doctor. If you can’t even show basic respect, you should find someone else.”

The human body was complicated, and to treat insomnia properly, the patient’s attitude

matters.

Sayer was clearly difficult.

If she didn’t set boundaries now, it would be impossible to work with him later.

Sayer hadn’t expected anyone to stand up to him.

His expression shifted dramatically as he jumped down from the desk.

He walked right up to Aella, towering over her and filling the space with pressure.

Hands on his hips, he leaned closer and studied her face. “You’ve got more attitude than I do. What do your parents do?”

Aella met his gaze, realizing for the first time that some men could look more beautiful than

women.

Tyrone’s looks carried masculine strength and raw charm. This man, though, had a different kind of beauty–dangerous and mesmerizing.

Looking straight into those gray–brown eyes, Aella said calmly, “So, are you going to accept treatment or not?”

Sayer pointed at Aella, then at himself, made a theatrical spin, and looked at Daniel. “She’s a doctor and she dares talk to me like that?”

Daniel hesitated before saying, “Dr. Reid is Mrs. Winter.”

Sayer raised a brow. “Which Mr. Winter?”

Daniel replied, “From Aldoria, Vleka–the Winters. Tyrone Winter.”

Sayer let out a low chuckle. “Ha.”

Then he laughed again, three short bursts that made Aella’s skin crawl.

She really didn’t want to be associated with Tyrone anymore, but Daniel had already said it, so
