The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 502

Stepping outside, Nikolai looked up at Mirabella, a trace of apology etching his features. "Ms. Mirabella, I'm terribly sorry about earlier..."

With a detached gaze, Mirabella interrupted, "No need for apologies; it's only human nature."

Hearing this, Nikolai felt even more ashamed. He let out a sigh before saying, "My patient is a special case, and his condition is quite peculiar. Even though my son Dane is a member of the Pharmacists’ Guild and more skilled than Asher, I fear this illness might be beyond his expertise."

This was precisely why he had summoned Mirabella before Dane even reached home or assessed the patient himself.

It wasn't just because Dane's medical knowledge paled in comparison to Mirabella's, but also because of the patient's identity. Should anything go wrong, the Reeves family couldn't bear the responsibility.

Mirabella regarded Nikolai, her eyebrows arching slightly as she spoke, "My services don't come cheap."

At her words, Nikolai immediately understood that Mirabella wasn't dwelling on the past issue. He quickly replied, "Don't worry about the cost. They will certainly be able to afford it."

Mirabella nodded. Money talks.

After a moment of thought, Nikolai added, "Let me brief you on the patient's symptoms."

"Alright." Mirabella acknowledged.

Just then, Asher entered from outside, followed by Dane, Nikolai's eldest son.

Asher glanced at his father and Mirabella but remained silent, quickly following Dane.

Nikolai gestured for Mirabella to follow. Soon, Mirabella returned to the sitting room and took a seat in an armchair, her posture relaxed and unreserved.

Catching Nikolai's cue, the butler stood by her side, dutifully pouring coffee with impeccable manners.

In contrast, Johnny, upon seeing Dane, seemed invigorated as if spotting a savior, a stark difference from his demeanor with Mirabella earlier. "Dane, I truly appreciate you coming all this way," Johnny said.

Members of the Pharmacists’ Guild were held in high esteem, especially a mid-level pharmacist like Dane. Even someone of Johnny's stature in the political arena would defer to such expertise.
