After agreeing to attend the Allureville doctor's conference, Brandon was instructed to get ready, while Louis went ahead because his hospital was hosting the conference this year, so there were many preparations to be made by him."Mr. Brandon, I'm sorry I can't accompany you; I still want to be with my father."Stella Robinson felt bad, but what else could she do because Andrew's condition, although improved, still required her to accompany him.Brandon glanced at Andrew, the middle-aged man now peacefully asleep after receiving acupuncture from him."No need to worry about it; I'll just go briefly before returning here to help your father recover," Brandon said.Afterwards, Brandon was escorted by Jose, who had been instructed to accompany him, to the conference room in one of the hospital's buildings.Upon arriving there, Brandon could see that the room was filled with many renowned doctors, and there were also several faces Brandon recognized because some of them often appeared o
A young doctor about the same age as Jose stood up from his seat, his arrogant demeanor reminding Brandon of when he first met Jose."Who is he?""He's Kevin. Mr. Brandon, you'd better not pay attention to him because he's just all talk and has no ability whatsoever," Jose tried to explain.Brandon instantly felt familiar with the name Jose just mentioned. If Brandon remembered correctly, Kevin was another young doctor often compared to Jose in terms of genius."Isn't he your rival?"Jose shook his head vigorously, "That idiot, how can he be compared to me? He's nothing in front of me; how dare he act arrogantly in front of you."Brandon nodded in understanding. Although from Jose's explanation, Kevin didn't seem that talented in the medical field, Brandon had to admit his skill in other aspects."He must be a troublemaker, right?""Uh... I don't understand what you just said." Jose grimaced, trying to hold back laughter.Brandon smiled thinly; he said that for a reason. To be honest,
"What other commotion is this kid planning to bring down Mr. Brandon?" muttered Jose, feeling uncomfortable with the smile Kevin was showing.Jose, still feeling guilty for underestimating Brandon earlier, wanted to prove himself by protecting Brandon's honor and dignity in front of everyone there."Kevin, there's no need to ask my mentor. You can ask me; it's more than enough just to satisfy your curiosity.""Oh, really? In that case, as you wish, I just want to ask about..."Kevin asked in front of everyone why none of Brandon's words matched the medical books, which made many people there start to realize that what Kevin had just said was the truth."Damn, I just remembered that there seems to be nothing like that in our medical books.""After thinking about it, why do I start to feel like what the kid named Brandon said is just random nonsense to deceive us?"Kevin grinned widely as many people there began to realize and turn to support him, a smirk forming again as he prepared to
"How dare he accept Dr. Kevin's challenge.""Foolish people are like that. They will keep trying to deceive, no matter if they are laughed at."Brandon heard all the jeers directed at him. The doctors mocking and doubting his abilities walked behind Louis, Jose, and Brandon.They chose a renowned hospital. Moreover, Kevin deliberately requested it so he could observe Brandon closely. Additionally, the patients at the hospital they visited were also full of patients with illnesses beyond reason."Are you sure, Mr. Brandon?" Louis Garcia confirmed.His eyes glancing around, a sign he was uneasy—made Brandon just nod. His steps were already very certain, as if Brandon was confident that he would succeed in proving his expertise."Arrogant doctors like them are not enough to just be given theory. Perhaps, the ignorance that has been confined for so long can be satisfied if they see me in practice," Brandon mumbled.Louis Garcia wiped his face, and ahead was a ward where one of the patient
"Today has been quite tiring," said Brandon as he kept walking away from the hospital.Brandon stopped a taxi, having forgotten his car which was probably still in the parking lot of Turner Group's company. Recalling this, Brandon also remembered the incident of breaking off his engagement with Ariana. Brandon sighed, quickly got into the taxi, and tried to forget some of the events of today.When he arrived home with a sullen face, Brandon was greeted by his Mother. The elderly woman, who was already sitting in the living room, immediately stood up facing her son."Brandon, I don't want to beat around the bush. I've heard about the broken engagement."Brandon was startled to hear his Mother's admission. After all, the letter he had received was only a few hours ago. He had even just returned from the Hospital to meet Ariana. His intention to keep the bad news quiet had now been revealed without Brandon mentioning it.He was still trying to deny it. Brandon thought his Mother would be
Brandon stared wistfully at his Mother. The accusation made him unable to breathe freely. Moreover, Brandon was forced to admit something he had never done.He really wanted to bring Ariana to meet his Mother. However, to take a single step out of that house, Brandon kept hearing his Mother's unceasing words blaming him."I have to meet Ariana, Mom. I will meet her and ask Ariana to explain everything," Brandon spoke with a trembling voice. "I will bring her here, and she will admit that all her words were nonsense."However, Brandon's Mother still insisted that her son was lying in this matter. Maybe at her grandfather's grave, she saw Ariana act so well that she made her believe."Why would you meet her again? Aren't you shameless, Brandon? You've already been unfaithful but still dare to show your face in front of her! Just admit your lie." His mother kept pressing."Mom, Ariana twisted the facts. She's the one who broke off this engagement. How else can I prove it?"His mother imm
After his agreement with Stella, Brandon is now standing in front of the luxurious house belonging to Stella's friend's father. However, his steps stopped when he saw the house filled with a crowd."Did I get the wrong address?" Brandon tried to verify the address given by Stella. The address matched the address he was holding currently, but why was there a crowd there? With hesitation, Brandon took steps forward. A security guard greeted Brandon warmly while slightly bowing his body.Brandon nodded, he kept walking in. Witnessing the scene before him. Soft music played as background as the guests mingled and sipped champagne. It was clear that the luxurious house was holding a party.In one corner of the room stood a small stage surrounded by tables and chairs neatly arranged for the evening's entertainment.Brandon could only stand frozen in his place, observing the rich people who were busy talking to one another. As Brandon looked around to find Stella's presence, suddenly a wom
Currently, the guests are cheering for Brandon to leave. The man feels extremely insulted by Ariana's blatant expulsion in front of the guests.Ariana pulls up the corners of her mouth, satisfied to see the expression shown by Brandon. "So... What makes you still here, Brandon? The exit is over there," Ariana points, still with a smile on her face. Brandon clenches his fists, quite angry with what Ariana has done. But suddenly, someone gently puts their hand on his shoulder, causing him to turn around.Next to Brandon, Stella is smiling, then nodding her head as a signal that she will handle Ariana directly.Stella turns towards Ariana, who is quite surprised by her arrival. But she doesn't care, she still has to give a warning. "What's going on here, Miss Ariana? Why are you causing a commotion at Mr. Richad's party?"Ariana feels a little annoyed, but eventually she answers, "He..." Ariana points at Brandon. "Came to the party without being invited. How could a man with no busines
All day long, Ariana was in her room. She kept shedding tears, so sad that Brandon had left her. They were going to get married soon, but why did something so unwanted have to happen?"Why did you decide to leave me, Brandon? Can't you just give me one chance?"Ariana kept trying to call him, but until now, Brandon hadn't picked up the phone. Many times Ariana made calls, but still Brandon had no intention of picking up the phone from her. However, Ariana doesn't want to give up so easily. She would keep trying to call Brandon until he picked up the phone.Feeling annoyed because she had tried several times to call, Ariana rudely threw her cell phone in all directions, so angry with the man who did not want to pick up the phone from her."Shit! What do you want from me, Brandon? How can you ignore me like this!" Ariana screamed in her room, letting out her emotions to everyone around her.Eli, who was outside the room, was worried and saddened by Ariana's situation. He had tried to pe
Brandon flashed a smile. He could of course deduce from his mother's lucky question that she was really worried about him. Brandon was grateful to have a mother who loved him so much and was always there when he was in trouble."Brandon is fine, Mom. There's no need to worry," Brandon finally said.Brandon's mom nodded her head, truly relieved that nothing major had happened to Brandon. The middle-aged woman put down the fruit she had bought before deciding to return to the room. After putting the fruits down, she pulled out the chair next to Angelica and began to sit on it."Oh yeah, I just saw Ariana. Why didn't she leave quickly? Did she come here already?"Apparently Brandon's mother still didn't know that Brandon had actually remembered everything. The man didn't want to accept back Ariana who had betrayed him. Even though she had tried to change, Brandon couldn't accept her back. If it was just to forgive, Brandon would have forgiven, but if it was to return, don't expect Brando
"Brandon, what do you mean?"With her heart pounding, Ariana approached the bed where Brandon was being treated. She was a little worried; if he remembered everything now, then what about him? Would he leave her?Angelica remained where she was, looking at Brandon and Ariana in turn. Of course, she also felt curious about what had happened to Brandon. Why did he suddenly seem to have forbidden Ariana to come? Hadn't they been so close the past few days? In fact, Angelica had seen the two of them making out in the living room."What are you doing here, Ariana? I didn't ask for your presence at all," Brandon insisted, glaring disapprovingly at the woman who was now walking towards him. I don't know why she was here all of a sudden, when their relationship had been over for quite some time."I don't understand what you're saying, Brandon. Aren't we...""We're not in a relationship anymore, Ariana. And aren't you ashamed to come here after what you did to me?" cut in Brandon quickly, glar
Brandon's mother came out of the house with an inexplicable feeling; worry was overwhelming her. She was so worried about Brandon's condition. Why was he suddenly in the hospital? Didn't he ask permission to go to a café earlier? Then why was the call from the hospital suddenly saying that Brandon had been in an accident?Brandon's mother continued to run towards the highway, hoping to find a taxi that would take her quickly to the hospital.Angelica, who happened to be leaving the house, frowned when she saw Brandon's mother in a hurry. She looked confused at Brandon's mother. Quickly, Angelica decided to approach her, especially now that the middle-aged woman looked so hurried that it made Angelica feel a little worried."Tante, what's wrong?" asked Angelica as she tapped Brandon's mother on the shoulder.Brandon's mother instantly turned her head when she felt her shoulder being held. The middle-aged woman was almost in tears when she said it. "Brandon had an accident, Miss Angelic
The unsuitable meeting with Brandon made Ariana feel upset, but she would still try to get Brandon's mother to approve their relationship to the level of marriage.After meeting with Brandon at the cafe, she decided to go home. She had no intention of going anywhere, as she was currently feeling upset and in an uncomfortable mood.Ariana climbed the stairs as soon as she got home, but her steps were immediately halted when suddenly someone called her. That someone was none other than Rian; surely her brother was curious about the look on her face right now."Did something happen, Ariana? You looked so happy earlier, but now your face looks dull."Rian looked suspiciously at the woman who had just arrived. Of course she could guess what had happened to the woman, considering how she had reacted before leaving, and now the dull face she showed when she had just returned indicated something had happened to her.Ariana sighed. She turned to Rian, whose hands were currently folded over his
"Have a seat, Ariana."Brandon pulled out a chair for Ariana so that she sat across from him. Ariana nodded, feeling happy for the attention Brandon was giving her. Was he doing this because he was going to marry her soon? Imagining that made Ariana feel calm. She nodded and sat down in the chair provided by Brandon."I'm sorry if I made you wait so long, Brandon," Ariana said after sitting in the chair, looking at Brandon guiltily for making him wait. Ariana was sure that Brandon must have waited a long time, considering he was still talking to Ryan, his younger brother.Brandon just nodded and decided to sit back in his chair. After that, he called a waiter to immediately prepare food for the two of them."What would you like to order, Ariana?" asked Brandon after receiving the menu book from the waiter. He then handed one of the menu books to Ariana.Ariana immediately grabbed the menu book offered by Brandon and read all the options in the cafe. After finding the menu she wanted,
After telling his mother everything about getting married, Brandon felt a little relieved. At least, his mother already knew that Ariana wanted to get married, it's just that his mother still didn't agree with rushing to decide to get married. Currently, Brandon was at a cafe quite close to Ariana's house. He decided to meet with her and talk about this, hoping that she would understand. After all, he himself was still not ready to take things to a more serious level. Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at home, was wearing make-up with a smile on her face. She was happy that she would soon be married to Brandon, especially after he expressed his wishes. She was sure that Brandon would talk about their wedding at the café. Still in her room, Ariana wore quite a bit of make-up, hoping that even with the light make-up, Brandon would always be mesmerized by her. As Ariana was getting dressed, someone suddenly opened the door. She had no intention of turning around because she was too fo
After Ariana's departure, Brandon was silent on the couch, thinking about what they had talked about this time. She already wanted to marry him, and Brandon, ready or not, had to tell his mother this. After all, they had been engaged for quite some time, which meant it was appropriate for them to take things to a more serious level."Will I eventually marry Ariana?"Brandon was pensive as he stared out the window. His mind was currently completely occupied with Ariana's request for marriage. They couldn't possibly continue like this without a more definite bond. Although it was only an engagement, they had been engaged for quite some time.Brandon sighed, a little annoyed by what he was thinking. Honestly, the man still had no plans to get married. However, he also couldn't possibly keep making promises to Ariana. She might turn and leave him, looking for someone more serious, and Brandon certainly didn't want that to happen."What should I do?"Hearing the sound of the car that had j
"Does Angelica come here often?"It was only after Angelica's departure that Ariana asked Brandon. Of course, she was quite surprised by Angelica's sudden arrival, and she had even interrupted her moment of intimacy with Brandon. How could she just walk in without knocking first, something he had never imagined before.Brandon was a little uncomfortable with the questions Ariana had just asked about Angelica. He knew that Angelica had just made a mistake, but did Ariana have to talk about her?Brandon was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words so that Ariana wouldn't suspect him. After all, he didn't have a special relationship with Angelica either and had never had feelings for her."She's my patient, Ariana. You don't need to worry about that."Those seemed to be the right words for Brandon to say at the moment, hoping that the woman beside him would understand and not prolong the matter, despite his efforts.Hearing the words that Brandon had just said, made Ariana sil
