Chapter 208
The last time she felt unwell at the hospital, it was this man who came to check on her.
“Are you okay?“.
Hearing the voice, Richie slowly lifted his head and looked at Isabel.
He recognized her as the sick girl he had met at the hospital last time.
But his situation was too bad to think about anything else. He clutched at his chest, struggling to breathe.
Seeing how critical Richie’s condition was, Isabel knew there was no time to lose and quickly began treating him.
“Take it easy. I’m a doctor.”
Richie nodded in agreement, leaning against the wall. Through his blurry vision, he could see Isabel using her fingers to apply pressure to his body.
At first, he didn’t feel much difference, but as time passed, he soon noticed a significant improvement in his condition.
This girl’s medical skills were impressive. Even if he had been taken to the hospital, it would have been hard to get relief so quickly.
Five minutes later, Richie felt as if he were back to normal.
The episode was completely over.
Incredible!
“Thank you,” Richie said, looking at Isabel.
“Glad you’re okay,” Isabel replied, then took his pulse.
Richie could tell Isabel was checking on his condition. After she released his wrist, he sighed and said, “This
lness is genetic, a congenital condition. It can’t be cured.”
As soon as Richie finished speaking, Isabel’s voice rang out.
“Who said it can’t be cured?”
At those words, Richie’s pupils widened in reflex as he stared at the girl in front of him.
“You mean… it can be cured?”
Before Isabel could respond, Richie chuckled and continued, “How could it be cured? I’ve been to hospitals both at home and abroad, and they’ve all been powerless. Well, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
As long as he could hold on long enough to get his revenge, to avenge his first love, he would have no regrets.
To Isabel, Richie’s words sounded like a patient who had completely lost hope in his condition, which was why he spoke with such despair.
“I really can cure you,” Isabel said confidently.
As Richie looked at Isabel’s confident face, something about it seemed familiar. The more he stared, the more he recognized something in her face.
At the same time, the image of the little girl’s innocent face flashed in his mind.
He couldn’t explain why, but when he saw Isabel last time, he felt the same way.

They didn’t look alike, so why did they evoke such a similar feeling in him?
“You”
“If you trust me, let me give it a try. If I can’t cure you, I won’t charge you a penny.”
As Isabel spoke, a wave of self–doubt stirred within her.
Although Isabel was highly skilled, she wasn’t the type to meddle in others‘ business. Normally, when she encountered patients, it depended on her mood. It was the first time she saved someone so urgently.
She didn’t know why she acted this way, it was just an impulse, following her instincts.
Richie stared at Isabel without blinking, his gaze fixed on her beautiful, starry eyes. Eventually, almost as if compelled, he found himself agreeing.
“Which hospital do you work at?” Richie asked, instinctively wanting to know more about Isabel.
But to Isabel, it sounded like Richie was worried about her medical skills and didn’t want her to delay his treatment, which was why he wanted to know more about her.
“I’ll tell you a secret, Isabel said with a playful smile, looking at Richie.
Her smile immediately caught Richie off guard.
Because it was so familiar! It resembled the smile he remembered so well.
Of course, no matter how similar, she wasn’t his Leslie.
“What secret?” Richie asked, playing along.
Isabel leaned closer to Richie and whispered, “I’m a student of Miracle Healer.”
At her words, Richie’s face immediately filled with shock.
He never expected the girl to say something like that!
He widened his eyes, staring at Isabel, trying to detect even the slightest hint of a joke on her face, but there was nothing.
“Y–you’re serious?”
“Mm–hmm.” Isabel shrugged and nodded, her posture relaxed and carefree.
Honestly, if anyone else had said that to him, Richie would never have believed it. But Isabel’s face, so strikingly similar to Leslie’s, and her large, starry eyes looking at him, left him with no choice but to believe her.
To make Richie trust her more, Isabel decided to reveal some of her background.
“I.Z. Corporation–You’ve probably heard of it, right? The one that almost caused a stir online recently.” “Of course, I’ve heard of it. Their company partnered with Miracle Healer to develop a very effective acne treatment. They’ve since developed other skincare products with great results. A friend of mine uses them, and the results are amazing.” Then, Richie asked, puzzled, “But why are you bringing up I.Z. Corporation?”
As Richie was processing this, Isabel extended her hand toward him.
“Hello, I’m Isabel Zimmerman. I.Z. Corporation is named after the abbreviation of my name.”
At her introduction, Richie’s eyes widened in realization, and his face showed a shocked expression once
again.
Chapter 208
“And what is your connection to I.Z. Corporation?” Richie asked, both confused and astonished.
Isabel answered plainly, “The CEO and chairman of I.Z. Corporation is my brother.”
After hearing Isabel’s words, Richie finally pieced everything together.
No wonder Miracle Healer, who usually kept a low profile, suddenly partnered with I.Z. Corporation–it all made sense now, considering Isabel was a student of Miracle Healer.
“Now do you believe in my medical skills?” Isabel asked with a smile.
Richie nodded. “How much do you charge for the treatment?”

“No need to talk about money,” Isabel said, “I’m a bit odd. If I choose to treat a patient, I won’t charge a penny. But if I don’t feel like helping, no amount of money will change my mind.”
Richie studied Isabel with a probing look. “Sounds just like your mentor, Miracle Healer.”
“Uh… ” Isabel chuckled awkwardly. It wasn’t that she was like her mentor, but rather, that was just how she
was.
Thankfully, he didn’t think too much of it.
“Yeah, I learned from my mentor … learned from my master.”
“Let’s exchange numbers.”
After Isabel and Richie exchanged contact details, they each went their separate ways.
Isabel went to a convenience store and searched around until she found her favorite brand of candy.
“There’s only one pack left.”
This brand of candy had become harder and harder to find. Was the factory going out of business? If that was the case, she’d have to step in.
Maybe I should just buy the factory that makes this candy, so I won’t have to worry about running out in the future.
As Isabel reached for the pack, another hand quickly grabbed it from the shelf.
Reacting fast, Isabel grabbed the corner of the candy bag.
“I saw it first,” she said, looking up to meet Richie’s slightly surprised gaze.
