Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire?

“Dr. Smith, I understand your urgency to save your grandfather, but cancer treatment is no trivial matter.” Mikel looked at Tara and then turned his hostile gaze to Cameron. “Kid, this is not the place for you. Get out now!”

At 43, Mikel was a family man but had long been captivated by Tara's beauty and figure. He had always dreamed of having her.

Previously, he struggled to find an opportunity to get close to Tara as he was aware of her aversion to men. But now, he saw his chance.

Upon learning of Tara's grandfather's severe illness, Mikel volunteered to lead the treatment and planned to create a false impression of her grandfather's condition being critical.

Then, by stepping in to stabilize the old man’s condition, he hoped Tara would become indebted to him so that he could control her.

He wouldn't let this unexpected intruder ruin his plans, especially since he felt Cameron didn't seem knowledgeable in medicine. Rather, he appeared to be using it as a pretext to get close to Tara. Mikel was determined not to let Cameron succeed.

He wanted Tara to be his!

Cameron sensed Mikel's animosity and detected a deep-seated scheme in his eyes. He narrowed his own slightly in response.

“Mr. Kennedy, given my grandfather's deteriorating condition and the ineffectiveness of medical devices, let's give Cameron a chance,” Tara pleaded.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She was unaware of Mikel's true intentions.

“Sorry, Dr. Smith, but you know the rules here,” Mikel flatly refused. He quickly added, “Just because other doctors are at a loss doesn’t mean I am.”

“You have a solution?” Tara's interest was piqued.

Mikel confidently asserted, “While I can't cure your grandfather's cancer, stabilizing his condition shouldn't be a problem. You're aware of my capabilities, Dr. Smith. It's just that...” He deliberately trailed off and feigned concern.

“Just what, Mr. Kennedy?” Tara's eyes sparked with hope at the potential to aid her grandfather. Mikel continued, “This time, although I can temporarily stabilize your grandfather's condition, preventing further deterioration requires a comprehensive treatment plan. It's quite detailed, so I'd like to discuss it with you in my office later.”

Inside, he smirked at his seemingly successful manipulation. He was convinced Tara would have to comply by using her grandfather as leverage.

"Okay, Mr. Kennedy," Tara quickly agreed.

She was eager to try anything that might save her grandfather.

Cameron, who had been silently observing, couldn't hold back any longer. He chuckled coldly. “Mr. Kennedy, you're only claiming that you can stabilize the condition because it's not as severe as you've made it out to be.”

Mikel frowned at Cameron's interruption. “Young lad, this is not the place for baseless accusations.”

Cameron's tone was laced with irony. “They say a doctor's heart should be compassionate, but yours, Mr. Kennedy, seems quite the opposite.”

Cameron was determined not to let Tara continue being deceived by this man. He couldnt bear to see Dylan continue to suffer in the hospital bed, with his body pierced with tubes. He was even being used as a tool by this heartless animal to win over Tara.

“What do you mean!” Mikel responded defensively. His voice was tinged with a hint of panic. Cameron didn't mince words as he remarked, “Mr. Kennedy, Tara's grandfather's condition hasn't worsened, has it? You've just tampered with the medical equipment to make it appear so.”

Tara turned her sharp gaze to Mikel. “Is there any truth to this, Mr. Kennedy?”

Mikel's smile faltered under Tara's icy stare. However, he wasn't about to admit anything and replied with feigned innocence, “Dr. Smith, how could you think so lowly of me? And you know my feelings for you. I treat your grandfather as my own family.”

He then tried to shift the blame. “It's this young man who's out of line, claiming to be a doctor at such a critical time. You should be wary of him!”
