Chapter 254
Iris waited anxiously at the entrance, her whole body tense with anticipation. She was finally about to meet the idol sheโd been dreaming about day and night.
When she saw the woman in a white lab coat and wearing a mask appear before her, Iris didnโt hesitate for a second. She rushed forward, grabbed Siennaโs arm, and bowed right then and there.
โDr. Solis, Iโm your biggest fan. I finally get to meet you. Please, take me as your apprentice.โ Irisโs eyes shone with excitement, her smile bright and radiant.
Sienna lowered her gaze, meeting Irisโs eyes.
Irisโs smile froze on her face, her expression twisting into something almost grotesque. Her eyes went wide with disbelief as she suddenly shot to her feet. โItโs you.
โSienna, why are you coming out of the operating room? Donโt tell me youโre... No way, thatโs impossible. Sienna, you must just be a family member, right?โ
Iris couldnโt believe it. The shock hit her so hard it felt like the sky was about to collapse. Her smile drained away bit by bit, her face contorting into something ugly and full of spite.
โSienna, say it. Youโre not Dr. Solis, are you?โ Iris snapped.
Iris just couldnโt accept it. Sheโd rather believe that Nicholas was that nurse from earlierโanyone but Sienna.
The hospital director, Isaac, hurried over with a group of doctors in tow. โDr. Solis, itโs such an honor to meet you here. Iโm Isaac Thornton, the director of this hospital.โ
Noticing Iris, Isaac grinned and said, โDr. Grant, you sure got the news fast. Youโre here to see Dr. Solis, too, huh?โ
Having a chance to see someone as important as Nicholas was the best luck.
โYou mean sheโs Dr. Solis?โ Irisโs worst nightmare had just been spoken out loud.
Sienna didnโt even spare her a second glance. She brushed off the spot where Iris had touched her, her disgust written all over her face.
That look of revulsion was like a loud slap, landing squarely on Irisโs face. Everything about the moment screamed one thing: she was the clown.
Iris shot a venomous glare at Siennaโs back as she walked away, grinding her molars so hard it felt like they might crack. โSienna, why did it have to be you? Did you show up just to make me the laughingstock?โ she wondered.
Meanwhile, Sylvie was all smiles after hearing from her classmates that Winifred hadnโt shown up at school. She felt a wave of smug satisfaction, like sheโd finally gotten her revenge and could breathe easy for once.
โWinifred, donโt blame me. You brought this on yourself. Serves you right for picking a fight with me,โ Sylvie thought with a smirk. โMaybe in your next life, youโll be lucky enough to be born into a better family.
โDonโt even dream about getting close to high society.
Sienna only entered the operating room with Zane after Winifred was out of danger. The moment she lay down, she blacked out.
When Wayne and Nora heard about the car accident, they rushed to the hospital without a momentโs delay. Hearing that Winifred was out of danger but Sienna was still in surgery, their hearts were in their throats.
Reng hadnโt told Vivian or Amber about the accident yet. Letting them know now would only make things even messier.
Meanwhile, Reno was relentlessly investigating the car accident. She finally tracked down the suspect. Even if he had already fled overseas, catching him would be a walk in the park.
The Grant family, Reno sneered inwardly. โLooks like itโs time for them to go bankrupt. Just wait. Miss Enna will make you wish you were dead.โ
Iris listened to the hospital staff gushing about Nicholas, her jealousy growing like a vine, wrapping tighter and tighter around her heart.
โWayne?โ As Iris walked, she spotted Wayne.
โHi, Miss Grant,โ Nora greeted her with a frosty face. As for Wayne, he acted like Iris was invisible, not even sparing her a glance.
Irisโs eyes were glued to Wayne, her smile dazzling. โWayne, itโs been ages. How have you been all these years?โ
Wayne frowned, his eyes full of disdain and disgust. โStay away from me.โ
The look in Wayneโs eyes stabbed at Irisโs heart all over again. The whispers and stares from everyone else were nothing compared to the knife-twist of his disgust.
โDid he really hate her this much?โ Iris thought, her heart aching. โI love him so much. Doesnโt he see that? We are childhood friends, after all.โ
โSheโs out of danger and will wake up in a few hours,โ Zane said as he walked out of the operating room.
Nora felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders, almost going weak at the knees. โAs long as Ennaโs okay, thatโs all that matters.โ
Upon watching Wayne rush anxiously toward Sienna, Irisโs heart burned with jealousy and hate, disappointment mixing with bitterness inside her.
Of course, itโs Sienna again, Iris thought bitterly. โYou are such a troublemaker. If it werenโt for you, I wouldnโt have ended up like this.โ
Iris clenched her fists, seething with hatred as she made her way to Winifredโs hospital room. The place was crawling with bodyguardsโnot even allowed to get close, let alone go in if you were a stranger.
But this was a hospital, and Iris was a doctor.
Getting into the room would be a breeze. โHeh, Sienna, Iโm going to take Winifredโs life,โ Iris thought coldly to herself.
