Johnny was momentarily taken aback but quickly collected himself, grabbed his briefcase, and followed her. "Ma''am, where are you headed? Let me drive you there."


    Linnea paused mid-step, then seemed to reach a decision. After all, Johnny had been helping take care of Owen and must be well acquainted with his condition. Without declining his offer, she began walking out as she spoke. "I''m going to see a friend''s son who just got back from abroad. He''s a renowned doctor, and I want him to look at Owen''s medical records."


    Johnny raised an eyebrow in surprise. He initially wanted to assure her it wasn''t necessary, but then again, even though Dr. Mirabe was indeed exceptional, who wouldn''t want a second opinion from another esteemed physician? So, in the end, he didn''t try to dissuade her.


    Half an hourter, following Linnea''s directions, Johnny arrived at her friend''s house. Upon seeing the Davis family''s gate, Johnny''s expression turned bemused. He couldn''t help but ask, "Ma''am, are you sure this is the ce?" Linnea, oblivious to his puzzled look, unbuckled her seatbelt and replied, "Yes."


    Watching Linnea step out of the car and push the gate open, Johnny rubbed his temples, parked the car at the curb, turned off the engine, and got out. Linnea had just rung the Davis family''s doorbell when she noticed Johnny hadn''t left and was approaching. She looked at him, puzzled.


    Seeing her confusion, Johnny exined, "Well, it''s a small world. The family living here... they also treated Owen''s illness."


    Linnea was speechless.


    Soon after, Delh, who had been expecting Linnea, came out to greet her. However, Delh paused when she saw Johnny, "You''re the one who visited looking for my daughterst time... Johnny, right?"


    Johnny, out of respect for his connection to Mirabe, greeted her politely, "Mrs. Hoffman, good to see you remember me."


    Linnea, still processing Johnny''s earlierment about the family who treated Owen, saw Delh''s familiar interaction with Johnny and realized they must have met before. Feeling somewhat dazed, she walked into the living room. Nick was sitting on the couch, sses perched on his nose, somewhat masking his paleplexion. Seeing Linnea, he stood up to greet her.


    That''s when Linnea, recalling what Johnny had said outside, turned to him and asked, "Johnny, was it this gentleman who treated Owen''s illness?" She pointed at Nick, only knowing that someone from the Davis family was a famous doctor.


    Before Johnny could respond, Delh interjected with confusion, "What treatment? My Nick just got back to the country a couple of days ago."


    Johnny hadn''t mentioned Mirabe''s treatment for Owen on hisst gift-delivering visit to the Davis family, so Delh hadn''t given it much thought. Realizing her mix-up, Linnea said, "Oh, my memory! Ipletely forgot about that."


    Then, her gaze shifted back to Johnny, waiting for his rification. Johnny cleared his throat and shook his head, "No, it wasn''t him."


    "Ah, then who was it?" Linnea was now thoroughly confused.


    Delh, not quite following their conversation, suggested, "Why don''t you let my Nick have a look at the medical records first?"


    Upon hearing that, Linnea stopped questioning Johnny and hurriedly pulled out the diagnostic report from her bag, carefully handing it over to Nick. After receiving the report, Nick asked for a moment and began to review it carefully. Johnny, wanting to speak up, held back when he noticed Linnea''s gaze firmly fixed on the man seated on the couch. He decided to keep quiet.
