Chapter 615
Jonathan suspiciously eyed the man as he asked, “Who is he, Miss Deleon?”
Rosamond responded, “This man is the doctor I brought here. His name is Preston Archer.”
“Preston Archer? He’s a doctor?”
Jonathan glanced at Preston again with suspicion evident in his eyes. How could a simple doctor have such a powerful aura?
As Jonathan continued to stare at Preston, Rosamond began to grow impatient.
“Are you finished inspecting him? Did you find something wrong with him?”
Jonathan got the message and smiled playfully at her.
“I see. Preston’s your man. Please excuse my rudeness.”
Jonathan’s words deliberately implied there was an inappropriate relationship between Preston and Rosamond.
Preston glared at Jonathan and said, “Mr. Bowman, I suggest you watch what you say. I’m just a doctor Miss Deleon reached out to.”
Jonathan wasn’t upset when he saw Preston deny his guess and attempt to defend Rosamond’s reputation. After Preston’s outburst, Jonathan was more sure that there was a relationship between the two.
“I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood the situation. Please come inside. The operation is about to begin. I’ll take you to see Eliana.”
Jonathan let out a sigh of relief when he brought them inside.
Eliana saw all of this happen from upstairs. However, she couldn’t see Preston’s face from where she was.
There was something familiar about the man standing next to Rosamond.
Was that Preston?
Her heart beat faster, and she grew more anxious.
After a few moments of waiting, Eliana heard footsteps from outside.
When the door opened, the familiar handsome face caught Eliana’s eyes.
She couldn’t believe what she saw.
It was Preston!
At that moment, she felt all the time pass between them since they last met.
Although Preston and Maurice were the same person, she always saw them as two different beings.
Her fondness for Preston never wavered despite all the time apart.
Eliana’s eyes filled with tears, and her heart felt like it would burst from emotion.
Eliana and Preston looked at each other and said nothing.
“What happened to your face, Eliana?”
Rosamond was aware from Jonathan’s call that she was injured, but she was still shocked when she saw the gauze wrapped around Eliana’s face.
She quickly walked over to Eliana and held her hand. Concern was etched all over her face. “What happened? How did your face get hurt so badly?”
Eliana patted her hand reassuringly and said, “I’m fine, Miss Deleon.”
“Are you sure? You don’t look so well.” Rosamond turned around and glared at Jonathan. “Jonathan, what were you doing all this time? Were you even taking care of Eliana? If you can’t care for her properly, then let me do it instead! I’m sure I can do a better job than you!”
Jonathan’s face darkened, but he couldn’t snap in front of Eliana.
“I told you it was an accident. After today’s operation, Eliana’s face will heal.”
“Right, the operation…” Rosamond glanced at Preston and said, “Preston, can you come here and give an assessment of Eliana’s injuries?”
“I can’t allow that!” Jonathan blurted out. “You can’t remove the gauze over her face!”
“Why not?” Rosamond frowned.
Jonathan explained, “There’s a special plaster applied on her face. If you don’t untie the gauze properly, she might get hurt.”
“What kind of plaster are you talking about? Why can’t we take a look at her face?” Rosamond retorted. “I sought out Preston myself. He’s a well-regarded plastic surgeon, so I invited him here.”
“There’s no need for that.”
Jonathan continued to refuse her, but Rosamond wouldn’t back down.
“Why are you so bothered? Why can’t Preston check her wounds? Is there something you’re trying to keep from me?”
Neither Rosamond nor Jonathan wanted to back down.
When Eliana noticed they were about to fight, she spoke up to mediate.
“The gauze can’t be untied as Jonathan said, but the doctor can do a basic examination for now.”
Eliana waved at Jonathan and whispered in his ear, “I’m on your side, but Miss Deleon is an elder. We need to treat her with some respect.”
Jonathan agreed when he saw the gentle look on Eliana’s face.
After a moment, Preston said, “I’ll begin the examination. Can everyone leave the room for a moment?”
As expected, Jonathan refused to leave. Leilani stood up and offered, “There’s no need to worry, Mr. Bowman. I’ll stay with Miss Pierce and help you care for her.”
Since Rosamond was around, Jonathan couldn’t get angry. He left the room immediately after giving Leilani some instructions.
The moment they left, Preston put on an act checking Eliana’s face and pinching her face. For a time, he seemed like he was there for an examination.
Eliana thought that Preston was such a bad guy.
She grabbed his hand, and pulled him towards her.
“I missed you so much.”
