Chapter 6
James’ gaze dropped to the deliberately placed suitcase before him, and he
could almost hear her unspoken request. A soft chuckle escaped his lips, “So,
where do you need me to drop you off?”
Mirabella’s delicate brows arched playfully as she snapped her fingers with a
swagger that carried a hint of roguish charm. “The train station.”
The small town might not have been much to look at, but it was decently located
with its quaint little train station, However, the biological parents of the body she
now inhabited lived in Ashford, and there was no direct train. A transfer would be
necessary.
At her words, James gave her a quizzical look. “That's it?”
“That's the favor,” Mirabella confirmed with a nod. Noticing the complexity in his
expression, she pondered for a moment before adding, “But if you feel like
driving me to the train station is too easy a way for you to repay your debt, I'm
cool with you dropping me off at the city airport instead. After all, we're practically
neighbors, and it's not likely we'll cross paths again.”
The train station was a mere twenty—minute drive, whereas the city airport was a
good three to four hours away.
Beneath the brim of his baseball cap, James expression grew even more
intricate, and a rare crack appeared on his usually composed face. He
contemplated whether to share a bit of his background with this naive girl, lest
she remain oblivious to the golden opportunity she was about to miss.

Mirabella stepped out of the car and retrieved her luggage trunk. After a
moment's thought, she approached the driver's side and tapped on the window.
The glass slid down smoothly as James looked over at Mirabella, one eyebrow
raised in quiet inquiry. Mirabella fished out a small, unbranded bottle from her
bag. “This is for you. Farewell until we meet again.” Without waiting for a
response, she tossed the bottle into the car and, spinning on her heel hauled her
suitcase away.
James picked up the bottle that had landed precisely in the car’s side
compartment. A playful glint shone in his eyes. He watched the retreating figure
of Mirabella, his long fingers tracing the edge of the bottle cap, his lips curving
into a faint smile.
So, until we meet again, huh?
In the hospital, inside the doctor's office.
Mandy stared at the doctor in disbelief. “Doctor, are you telling me that my mom's
heart condition has improved significantly?”
Holding a stack of test results, the doctor nodded again. “Yes, the data indicates
that she’s in good health. As long as she avoids any major stressors, the
chances of her experiencing angina are quite low now.”

Mandy was still dazed. She found it
hard to trust the doctor's words,
because her mother had been
suffering from angina for decades,
and specialists at major hospitals
had only offered grim prognoses. The

“By the way, Ms. Mandy, has your
mother sought treatment at another
facility or taken any new medications
recently?” the doctor inquired. He had
been Catherine's primary physician
for years, attending to her each time
she fell ill However, she had barely
visited the hospital in the past year,
and today's checkup results were
certainly a surprise. The content is on

Mandy shook her head in confusion.
“No, she's been at home. I've tried to
take her to the hospital multiple
times, but she refused. She hasn't
undergone any treatments, and as for
medication...” Her voice trailed off as
the image of Mirabella giving her
mother a cup of brown liquid
surfaced in her mind. The content is

As Mandy fell silent mid—sentence, the doctor pressed with a note of concern,
“Ms. Mandy?”
