?Chapter 703:


    “Why is Nina being so unreasonable?”


    Elyse’s words had already stripped Nina of all hope, and now, she felt it vanish entirely, slipping away like sand through her fingers.


    As Linden went to find Dani, Nina was walking the same path.


    When Linden’s eyes briefly caught Nina’s profile, an overwhelming sense of familiarity tugged at him, though he couldn’t ce why.


    Nina’s stomach lurched the moment her gaze met Linden’s. She hurried to the restroom, desperate to escape the sensation.


    By the time she stepped out, Linden had already positioned himself in front of Dani.


    Linden’s gaze lingered on Dani, filled with a hunger he could not mask. The sight of her only stirred the mes of his wild thoughts.


    Today, Dani wore a simple ck top paired with a modest skirt, yet there was nothing in about her. Even in understated tones, she glowed, her presence like a precious stone in a dull world.


    Every time Lindenid eyes on Dani, he was reminded of the very first time he saw her. Her allure always left him breathless, too entranced to form a word.


    “Ms. Harper, I heard you specifically asked for me to stay?”


    Seated on a bench in the corridor outside Cedric’s room, Dani focused on the contract her secretary had handed her, not bothering to look up.


    “I was impressed with how you handled things. That’s why I decided to keep you on.”

    Excitement sparked in Linden’s eyes.


    “Does this mean you’re allowing me to be your private doctor?”


    At that moment, Natalie and Elyse appeared farther down the hallway. The moment they overheard Linden’s question, panic shed across their faces.


    This was a development they couldn’t afford.


    Linden knew the reason for Cedric’sa and their order to end his life. He had the evidence they had tried to kill Cedric.


    Their original n had been to get rid of Linden once Cedric was dead. But if Dani intended to keep Linden by her side, their carefullyid ns might unravel.


    Natalie felt a wave of unease settle in her chest. Linden thought she had spent the night with him. If he stayed around, she feared his relentless pursuit and the danger it would bring.


    Linden’s ugly face made Nina’s stomach turn, a wave of nausea hitting her instantly.


    “No way!” Elyse rushed forward, her anxiety barely concealed.


    “There’s no chance Linden could ever be Dani’s personal doctor!”


    A smirk danced on Dani’s lips as she raised an eyebrow.


    “Care to exin why?”


    The urgency in Elyse’s response only revealed her desperation to stop this from happening.


    “I’m just saying…” Elyse faltered, her words failing her.


    Natalie, tightening her fists, stepped forward with a decisive edge.


    “His medical abilities are subpar at best. He’s not even close to being qualified to be your doctor.”


    At first, the sight of Natalie filled Linden with excitement, but her words left him momentarily dumbfounded.
