He shut the car door with a loud bang.
As the car started, I gradually woke up from my fear.
He’s bringing me to the hospital?
No! I don’t want him or Ring to know I’m about to die!

However, I did not have my phone with me. I could not contact any doctor to
help falsify my report.
The driver was under Liam’s employment. In any case, I could not remember
any of the doctors’ numbers.
While I was thinking of what to do, the car arrived at the hospital.
Liam’s car was in front of me. It would take him some time before he walked
over to mine.
Chapter 251 Am At Ease
With that in mind, I unfastened my seatbelt. As soon as the car came to a
complete stop, I opened the door and dashed out.
I was not in an athletic condition in the first place. I did not manage to take
two steps before someone grabbed my arm.
Needless to say, that was Liam.

Even though we were at a private hospital, it was nonetheless a public place.
The people there were from Liam’s social class. Liam would not get physical
with me here, so I did not hold back. Not only did I struggle, but I also kicked
him and bit his hand.
I wanted to scream, but before I could make a sound, he grasped the back of
my neck and shut my mouth.
I could only bite him until I tasted blood in my mouth.
He did not loosen his grip at all. I was running out of oxygen, and I gradually
slowed down.
I was about to lose consciousness whem am let go.
He leaned close to my ear. To other people, he was being intrate
I heard him whisper coldly. “Amy more of this monsense, and illtrow you mo
the car and inspect you myself.”
Inspect me? How is he going to do that?
Sweat broke up. bit my lip and stopped making a fuss.
Liam let go of me and walked toward the hospital entrance.
Rina roiled her eyes at me and went over to hug his cm.
I tried my best to keep up, though I was feeling horrible.
After the checkup, Liam would finally believe I was telling the truth. He might
not speak those harsh words to me anymore. No… he might be even harsher
Chapter 251 Am At Ease
The mere thought of Rina gloating over me made me retch.
Even though I had to admit defeat, I felt so defeated thinking Liam would
choose that disgusting woman over me.
A group of people welcomed us at the elevator. They looked like they were
from higher management.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. He came over to shake
Liam’s hand. “Welcome, Mr. Mendez! What brings you here at this hour? Are
you feeling unwell?”
Liam smiled and shook his hand. “Good evening, Mr. Hollister. I’d like to
schedule a checkup for my wife.”
Dr. Hollister turned to greet Rina. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mendez! I’ve heard
about you, and you’re as beautiful as they say…”
Rina smiled and extended her hand. “You flatter me, Dr. Hollister. I’m also…”

Liam pulled her hand away.
Rina stopped speaking and looked at Liam.
Liam smiled and said, “This young lady is a relative of mine. This one’s my
wife.” He beckoned at me. “Come over here, Vivi.”
I did not want to go to him, but I had no other choice. Liam hugged my waist
and said gently, “This is Dr. Wentworth Hollister, the hospital director and the
top cardiothoracic surgeon in the country.”
I smiled at the hospital director and said, “Nice to meet you, Dr. Hollister.”

“You flatter me, Mr. Mendez. I wouldn’t say I’m the best, though I do have
some experience, heheh. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mendez.” Dr. Hollister greeted
me before continuing, “I thought the young lady is your wife because she’s
wearing a wedding ring… I’m so sorry for the mistake! Heheh…”
It was then I noticed the wedding ring on Rina’s ring finger. That was my ring.
Chapter 251 Am At Ease
I smiled and said, “My younger sister wanted to know what it’s like to wear a
wedding ring, so I lent it to her for fun. It’s not your fault, Dr. Hollister.”
Dr. Hollister smiled awkwardly.
Rina removed the wedding ring, handed it to me, and hugged my arm. “My
elder sister is feeling unwell. She always thinks she has cancer. Can you
please arrange a doctor for her?”
I took the ring and held it in my palm. It felt filthy.
Dr. Hollister’s expression turned serious. “Let’s go into my office then.”
He spoke to one of the managers next to him, “Contact the best oncologist
we have.”
As soon as he turned around, I pulled my arm away from Rina. Rina pouted
and looked at Liam.
Liam ignored her and said to the bodyguard next to him, “Take Ms. Olsen

Rina left without saying anything, and Liam brought me to the elevator.
Before I went in, I tossed the wedding ring into the ashtray at the elevator
entrance.
While riding the elevator up to the 17th floor, Dr. Hollister said, “You’ve come
here just in time. Recently, we’ve invited an oncologist from abroad to train
our doctors. He’s very experienced. I’ll get him to perform a checkup on Mrs.
Mendez. That’ll clear up any worries.”
“Make him an offer. Money isn’t a problem,” Liam said.
“I’ve mentioned it to him before, but Dr. Norman insisted on working in public
hospitals. He said he wanted to help more patients,” Dr. Hollister said.
“Dr. Norman?” I blurted, “Is he Chris Norman?”
Dr. Hollister turned to look at me. “Yes. Do you know him, Mrs. Mendez?”
Chapter 251 Am At Ease
“I…” I was about to speak when I felt the grip around my waist tighten. I lifted
my head and noticed Liam was giving me a side-eye.
“Chris Norman was the doctor who pumped my stomach. I saw it on his
nametag.”

Liam pulled me closer and lowered his head. He said resentfully, “I thought he
was your new friend.”
I knew he was only putting on an act, but I was in love with him for a long
time, and that gesture made my heart thump faster.
I averted his gaze and said, “I chatted with him for a bit, but I don’t know him.
at all.”
“That’s good,” Liam said and kissed my head.
Dr. Hollister and the other managers chuckled. One of the female managers
said, “I’ve heard that you have an intimate relationship with your wife, Mr.
Mendez. Looks like the rumors are true!”
I forced a smile. The pain on my cheek was stinging.
The doctor was indeed the same doctor who treated me. He was already
waiting at Dr. Hollister’s office when we arrived.
He remained calm and composed as usual. After Dr. Hollister told him about
my situation, he straightened his glasses and nodded. “If that’s the case,
please come with me, Mrs. Mendez.”
I was eager to leave. Just when I stood up, Liam suddenly took my hand and
glared at Chris. “My wife says that you’re her good friend.”
