The woman's appearance drew different reactions from everyone.

Marcus quickly asked, "Bertha, do you know Dr. Zeller?"

Felix had not expected to encounter the rude Mercedes driver here. He smirked and said, That would be an understatement. Mr. Rothwell, is this your wife?"

Despite his growing unease, Marcus admitted, "Yes, she's my wife."

Bertha Whitmore, who had been about to speak, quickly shut her mouth upon seeing Marcus' respectful attitude toward Felix.

Felix scoffed. "Your wife's quite the tyrant in public. She's the rudest person I've ever encountered!"

Turning to Leonard, Felix continued, "Mr. Ziegler, though I promised you I'd help, I can't help a family with someone like this. Frankly speaking, they can't be good people. I'm leaving!"

Felix was not a masochist. Why should he help her family after she had insulted him so viciously? That was impossible!

Caught off guard by this development, Leonard shot Bertha a dark look before hurrying after Felix without a word.

Just then, the bedroom door opened again as Garrett emerged. "Marcus, where's Dr. Zeller?

What? Bertha's jaw dropped. That young man was not just a doctor but could cure Garrett's rare heart condition. She refused to believe it!

As these thoughts raced through her mind, Marcus' hand cracked across her cheek.

Garrett sensed something was wrong. "What happened? Tell me!"

Stammering, Bertha recounted the incident.

After hearing it, Garrett staggered back several steps before pointing a trembling finger at Bertha. "You! How could you be so unreasonable and foul-mouthed?" How could you be so un

Garrett collapsed onto the couch with a thud, his eyes dimming. "This is all fate's doing!" he lamented.

Meanwhile, as Felix waited for the elevator outside, Leonard grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Ziegler, don't bother. I won't change my mind."

Leonard smiled bitterly. "Let me tell you two stories. If you still refuse to treat Garrett afterward, I won't say another word."

Though Felix remained silent, Leonard began, "Decades ago, modern medicine developed slowly in Dragonia, including at Canraville Hospital. Then, Garrett appeared and donated 100 million dollars to Mercy Hospital. That was an enormous sum back then. "Thanks to that money, our hospital imported advanced medical equipment and could afford to send talented doctors like myself abroad to study. I was one of them.

"Garrett never asked for anything in return. He's truly a kind man. I know he's also supported many impoverished children in mountain regions. If he's not a good person, who is?"

Though Felix remained silent, his expression had begun to change.
