Isaac breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Olivia’s promise. He smiled and said, “Since you you’re confident, I can rest easy. I will prepare the contract tomorrow, and all you’ll need to do is sign it.”


    Olivia nodded in agreement.


    After finalizing the payment details, Isaac personally escorted her to the door and watched as she drove away.


    As he saw her car getting farther, Isaac turned back into the house and called Victor.


    “How is Old Whitaker doing?”


    Victor’s voice came through as soon as the call connected, apanied by the sound of running water.


    Isaac chuckled, “He’s awake now. Dr. Prescott truly possesses remarkable skills.”


    After speaking, Isaac thought about the strange atmosphere between Victor and Olivia earlier and curiously asked, “Victor, do you and Dr. Prescott… know each other? I can’t shake the feeling that something’s off between you two, and I haven’t seen you act that way with any other woman.”


    His question aimed to provoke and defend Olivia simultaneously.


    Initially, Isaac thought he genuinely believed Olivia was being deceitful.


    But witnessing Victor’s intervention and even requesting Abigail to apologize to her left him perplexed.


    He vaguely felt that these two people must have known each other before, but he couldn’t fathom the nature of their rtionship.


    Victor would answer his call only because he cared about Old Whitaker’s health. When he heard this question, his expression slightly darkened, “I don’t know her. If we had known each other before, I would have asked her to treat Old Whitaker long ago.”


    Before Isaac could react, the call had already been hung up.


    Ending the call, Isaac felt even more perplexed.


    Victor’s tone just now, no matter how he listened, sounded very harsh. Could it be true that they really don’t know each other?


    …


    When Olivia returned home, it was alreadyte at night.


    Isabelle was ying with the two little ones, building LEGO sets in the living room.


    Upon seeing Olivia’s return, the three of them put down their LEGO and stood up to wee her.


    “Mommy!”


    The two little ones affectionately threw themselves into her arms and expressed their concern, “Why did youe back sote? We’re already sleepy.”N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    After saying that, they squinted their eyes and yawned.


    Olivia smiled and gently touched their heads, “I’m sorry for making you wait for so long.”


    Afterward, she looked up, intending to thank Isabelle.


    Isabelle understood her intention and quickly waved her hand, “You are wee. These two are my godsons! But you,ing back sote, have you eaten?”


    Olivia shook her head, “I was busy and didn’t have time to eat.”


    She had been upied with treating Old Whitaker and discussing the herbal supply with Isaac, which made her unaware of her hunger.


    Now, hearing her best friend mention it, Olivia realized she was a bit hungry.


    Isabelle helplessly nced at her, “I knew you’d be like this when you get busy. We saved you some dinner, so go and have some.”


    The two little ones also urged her to eat.


    Olivia felt warm in her heart and allowed herself to be pushed to the dining table by the two little ones. She had a simple meal.


    Isabelle and the two little ones apanied her.


    When Olivia had eaten enough, Isabelle asked with concern, “You came back sote today. Is the patient’s condition severe? How is the treatment progressing?”


    Olivia smiled and nodded, radiating confidence, “The patient’s condition is indeed quite severe, but I feel confident that I can cure him.”


    Not only that, she could also sessfully resolve the supply issue at the research institute.


    The thought filled Olivia’s heart with a sense of aplishment and optimism.


    Isabelle spoke with unwavering support, “If you believe in your ability to cure him, then you most certainly will. I haveplete faith in you!”
