Yvonne, who had followed them in, was just as baffled. Normally, Nala wouldn't care about such matters. Whether there were new suitors or someone chose to withdraw from the competition, it was all insignificant to her. But this time, she had come in person to question it, which was surprising.

Ryan was equally shocked. Nala's actions seemed beneath her stature, as if implying that he, a mere suitor, were important to her.

"Why are you interested in knowing my reason?" he asked.

George looked on with curiosity. This was unprecedented.

"Why? Is it wrong to be interested? Just tell me if you're willing to," Nala replied.

Frowning slightly, Ryan spoke up, "There's no real reason. I'm tired, and there are plenty of people better than me. My odds were always low, so stepping aside is only natural."

He didn't dare mention Felix's identity as the student of the revered medical doctor. Only a fool would miss out on that kind of detail.

From the gleam in Nala's eyes, it was clear that she did not believe him.

"Is it because of Felix?"

Huh? Everyone's expressions shifted. The fact that Nala herself had said that name made the moment even more peculiar.

Yvonne, in particular, was puzzled. Hadn't Nala already decided to cut ties with Felix? Why did she mention him now in front of Ryan and George?

Faced with Nala's scrutinizing gaze, Ryan weighed the situation and finally nodded. " Partly, yes."

Nala nodded and left without another word. It seemed she had truly come just for that

answer.

"Miss, you still care about Felix, don't you?" Yvonne mustered the courage to ask as they walked out.

Nala chuckled lightly. "No one is truly worth my care. I came here only to confirm something, and now, I have my answer."

Though Yvonne dared not press further, Nala continued, "Ryan is an interesting man, and he was truthful just now. His withdrawal was for two reasons. One, he knew his chances were slim, and two, it was because of Felix." Because of Felix? Yvonne was perplexed. How could someone like Ryan regard Felix so

highly?

"I heard something. Ryan admired Felix for what he did at the orphanage and even mentioned finding a renowned doctor to see if Felix could be treated. That's all."

Nala even sighed after saying that. "What a pity I had hoped Felix would find a way to start anew, but it seems I was too optimistic."

If even Silas couldn't help, there was only a slim hope that Ryan might find the medical doctor. It was well beyond his reach.

With the conversation at that point, Yvonne gathered her courage again. "Miss, don't you still have a Miracle Card?"

Nala paused, looking at Yvonne, who fearfully lowered her head.

Yvonne continued, "If Felix could recover, given his medical skill and youth, his future would be unimaginable. I believe it would be a highly worthwhile investment."

Nala smiled. "Ha! That's a good idea, and it makes sense, but I have other plans for that Miracle Card. I won't waste it on Felix."

Just as she was about to step into the car, something flashed in Nala's eyes, and she spoke again, "I heard the Walsh family has a Miracle Card, too. Yes. I'm sure they have one." The hint had been given, and Nala stepped into her car, leaving Yvonne standing alone in a

daze.

After a long while, Yvonne bit her lower lip, as if making a decision.
