Scarlett\u2019s eyes immediately welled with tears. \u201cSo all the harm you suffered-it just gets brushed aside?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan looked down with a faint, resigned smile. \u201cSome things aren\u2019t worth holding onto.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A wave of guilt washed over Scarlett. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cScarlett, I\u2019m a doctor,\u201d he replied gently. \u201cI was just doing my job. Don\u2019t blame yourself, and don\u2019t feel ashamed for me. Honestly, I\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what he said aloud, but only Nolan knew the truth he carried inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He came from a different world than Vincent and Daniel-an ordinary background where he was the first to achieve such professional success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had poured everything into building his career, yet it could be so easily threatened by those with power and influence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could he truly be fine?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett wanted to say more-to suggest he use this situation to secure his future. But Nolan spoke first, \u201cHow about oatmeal tomorrow? If I have any more fish soup, I might start growing gills.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He even made a playful swimming gesture with his hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite herself, Scarlett let out a soft laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her smile, Nolan said, \u201cThat\u2019s better. No matter what happens, you have to keep finding reasons to laugh. If you can still laugh, you can survive anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett nodded. She stayed a while longer before finally taking her leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the moment she stepped into the corridor, she found Vincent leaning against the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett started, her hand flying to her chest as her heart raced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She moved to walk past when Vincent said calmly, \u201cI heard your conversation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett paused. \u201cGood. I wanted to speak with you anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVery well,\u201d Vincent responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A minute later, they stood together in the stairwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 127 Nolan\u2019s Sacrifice\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t bother with pleasantrics. \u201cNolan has agreed to do the surgery. He\u2019s a doctor-he would never abandon a patient. But you owe him for his reputation. That needs to be addressed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent\u2019s response was measured. \u201cOnce the situation is resolved, I\u2019ll ensure appropriate restitution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAppropriate?\u201d Scarlett\u2019s voice sharpened. \u201cI want Daniel to apologize to Nolan personally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent watched her anger with detached calm. \u201cLike you, I can\u2019t make decisions for others.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Frustration surged through her. \u201cSo you allowed everyone to pressure and harass him? You, Lucy, even Grandpa-all of you ganged up on him!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent remained unmoved. \u201cDaniel is a proud man. I doubt he\u2019ll easily concede.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett found this ridiculous. \u201cWho cares about his pride?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand your meaning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWould Daniel really value his pride over his mother\u2019s life if Nolan refused the surgery?\u201d Her voice rose with each word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent offered no response, his silence speaking volumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His indifference only fueled her anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing the futility of the conversation, she took a calming breath. \u201cForget it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She reached for the door to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But as her hand touched the handle, Vincent said, \u201cI\u2019ll speak with Daniel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t acknowledge him. She simply pushed the door open and walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two days later, Daniel posted a public apology across social media platforms. That same afternoon, Nolan performed the complex brain surgery on Daniel\u2019s mother at Rivergate Central Hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The procedure spanned seven hours and concluded with remarkable success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following day, Nolan resumed his duties at the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the surgery complete, the pressure on Scarlett finally eased. Her life gradually returned to its normal rhythm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three days later, Scarlett left work early and decided to visit Theron Manor to cook for her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had spent about thirty minutes preparing ingredients when Clara returned home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAuntie! I brought your package inside!\u201d Clara called from the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett emerged from the kitchen to find an elegantly wrapped box on the dining table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sophisticated packaging unmistakably signaled Damian\u2019s involvement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amid all the recent turmoil with Nolan, Scarlett had nearly forgotten about Damian\u2019s existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She kept reminding herself that men like Damian were capricious-their interests were temporary, their grand gestures ultimately meaningless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet nearly ten days had passed, and he continued sending extravagant gifts to her home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett couldn\u2019t help but wonder when a millionaire decided to pursue someone, did the price tag really mean so little?\u00a0<\/p>\n
