Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 858:

His freedom had come at the cost of his “life.” This time, the situation was even more complicated, and she must take it one step at a time. As she mulled over her next steps, Glenn reassured her, “Dr. Riss, whatever you decide to do, just know the Daniels family will always stand by you. You have to come back safe. I’m still counting on you to heal my legs.”

Surprised, Marissa turned to him and asked, “Did Connor tell you I’m Dr. Riss?”

With a smile, Glenn said, “He didn’t have to tell me. You’ve treated me with acupuncture and prescribed medications for me on several occasions. I’m not oblivious. I knew you were Dr. Riss.”

Chuckling, Marissa replied, “I’m sorry for keeping it from you, Glenn.”

“There’s no need for apologies,” Glenn assured her. “It’s understandable that Dr. Riss’s identity must be kept a secret. I’m just fortunate to have received your care, and the legendary Dr. Riss is actually my brother’s wife…”

Glenn’s expression suddenly darkened, his demeanor clouding over with the sadness of Marissa’s impending departure.

Arabella, finally understanding the conversation, excitedly grasped Marissa’s hands and asked, “Marissa, are you really Dr. Riss?”

“Yes, Grandma,” Marissa answered with a gentle smile, her tone apologetic. “I didn’t mean to keep it a secret.”noveldrama

Arabella’s face lit up with a knowing smile. “It all makes sense now! You saved my life. Only a highly skilled doctor could have done that. I didn’t expect my granddaughter-in-law is the renowned Dr. Riss…”

Arabella’s expression was clouded with distress as she spoke. Knowing that Marissa was Riss made her even more hesitant to say goodbye. How could she possibly find another granddaughter-in-law as remarkable as Marissa?

Marissa gently patted Arabella’s hand, assuring Glenn, “Please don’t worry, Glenn. I’ve arranged for Ferris to continue your treatment. Even if I can’t return to Blebert, he’ll take good care of you.”

“No, I’d much rather have you treat me,” Glenn insisted, his gaze intense. “So, please come back to Blebert. I’m your patient; you can’t just abandon me.”

It was then that Marissa perceived the deeper concern in Glenn’s eyes. Connor must have informed him about Tiffany’s situation. He was clearly worried about her well-being.

“I will do everything I can,” she promised.

With a final farewell to Arabella, Marissa left to find Connor.

In the living room of Connor’s house, he sat on the sofa, lost in thought. Domenic, Marc, and Terry stood nearby, their presence subdued.

As Marissa entered, they all looked up simultaneously, their eyes tracking her every move.

Connor sprang to his feet and took her hand, scanning her anxiously for any sign of injury. Relieved to find her unharmed, he exhaled deeply. The worry had gnawed at him during the two days she’d been away, costing him sleep and peace of mind.

Marissa read the worry etched across his face. Despite the warmth flooding her heart from his concern, she delivered her painful decision with a stern resolve. “Connor, let’s get a divorce…”
