Chapter 894
In the hospital room, someone quietly came in to report.
Eason’s gaze shifted, and he smiled. “Edel has been detained. I’ll go interrogate him to see if we can extract any information from him.”
“Then you should go quickly,” said Judith, her eyes showing signs of fatigue. “If you can find out something, it might increase the chances of your father waking up.”
“I understand.” Eason reassured her with a hug, then turned to Thomas with a smile. “Dr. Thomas, try not to be so restless. My people just called. They will bring Miss Austin here shortly.”
“You said ‘shortly‘ five minutes ago, Thomas replied, visibly anxious.
Eason hesitated. “Well, five minutes… isn’t really that long?”
“Not long?” Thomas exclaimed, exasperated.
Eason was speechless.
Susan, noticing the situation, couldn’t help but smile softly. “Eason, you better go deal with Edel. I’ll be here with Thomas.”
Nodding. Eason swiftly made his exit, almost as if fleeing
Thomas watched Eason’s retreating figure and sighed deeply.
He glanced at his watch and muttered under his breath. “Okay, now it’s been six minutes.”
Ben, watching this, couldn’t help but frown. “It’s just six minutes. Can’t you be a little more composed?”
Thomas snapped. “If it were Susan you were waiting for, I’d like to see how composed you’d be.“”
Ben let out a scoff, confidently replying. “Of course, I wouldn’t be.”
Thomas was left speechless.
So, Ben was actually taking pride in such things.
Thomas couldn’t help but wonder if he had mistakenly befriended the wrong person.
Susan couldn’t help but smile at the scene, offering Thomas a gentle reassurance. “Don’t worry, you came here to help me. When Theresa arrives, I’ll explain everything to her.”
Thomas’s eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed over to grasp Susan’s hand.
“Words are fine, but keep your hands to yourself.” Ben warned, catching Thomas’s hand with a hint of vigilance.
Thomas didn’t argue with him. He just looked earnestly at Susan. “Susan, my life is in your hands now! You

A voice tinged with a trasing tone suddenly interrupted.
Thomas’s body stiffened instantly
Slowly turning around, he saw Theresa with a slightly raised eyebrow, her gaze on him filled with subtle
Thomas felt as if his entire skin tightened.
He cautiously said, “Theresa…”
Afraid of saying the wrong thing, he called out her name and looked desperately at Susan for
Susan, ever so loyal, stood up to explain. “Theresa, actuall
“Don’t worry, Susan, I’ll spare his life,” Theresa said with a slight smile, walking over and grabbing Thomas by the collar, dragging him outside.
Thomas was nearly scared to death, frantically signaling Susan for help.
Susan was about to speak up, but Theresa cut her off with a smile. Thomas, do you need someone else to speak for you! Don’t you have a mouth?”
Thomas was left speechless.
He replied, a bit appealingly. “I do, I do”
Then, regaining some confidence, he glanced at Susan Susan, who asked you to speak for me 1 can handice my own matters”
Suddenly taking charge. Thomas firmly grabbed Theresa’s hand Let’s go Whatever you want to know. III tell you everything
Thomas walked away, pulling Theresa along with him
Susan watched them leave, somewhat incredulously, and turned to Ben “Does he always change faces this quickly!
Ben, rubbing her hair affectionately, replied with a calm demeanor You’ll get used to it.
Judith, observing their playful banter, couldn’t help but show a faint smile amidst her worry.
But her smile was fleeting, quickly replaced by a deeper concern as she looked at Alexander lying on the hospital bed.
‘Can my husband really wake up? she wondered silently.
In the adjacent room, as soon as the door closed, Thomas’s composed demeanor changed drastically. He looked at Theresa with earnest eyes, “Theresa, I admit my guilt and am ready to repent. Just let me
plain a bit first…”
Theresa looked at him with a half–smile, slowly walking towards him.
Thomas felt his heart hang in suspense.
Bracing himself, he closed his eyes. “Regardless, it’s all my fault. You can hit me, yell at me!”
“So, where did you go wrong?” Theresa asked softly.
“L… Thomas was scrambling for words when suddenly, he felt a warm touch on his lips.
Looking up in shock, he saw Theresa very close to him, her lips pressed gently against his.
In her eyes, there was a hint of tender warmth.
Thomas felt a stir in his heart and was about to reciprocate when Theresa suddenly pulled back.
She let out a cold huff. “That kiss is a reward for winning the competition. Overall, you were quite impressive.”
“Handsome, of course, I’m handsome. Thomas shamelessly leaned in closer. “How about another kiss?”
Theresa looked at him expressionlessly.
Thomas immediately straightened up. I’m still a sinner. I don’t deserve a kiss from Ms. Austin.”
Playing around at a time like this, Theresa couldn’t help but be both amused and frustrated.
Narrowing her eyes, she asked casually. “So, you are the Medical Mystic?”
Thomas’s heart skipped a beat.
The inevitable question had arrived.
He organized his thoughts and cautiously said, “Theresa, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I am indeed the Medical Mystic, but I had given up that identity because of certain reasons. I just wanted to live quietly as an ordinary doctor. Before this incident, I never thought I’d pick up this identity again.”
His anxious demeanor was evident.
Theresa, somewhat softened by his nervousness, sighed and said, “I know you became the Medical Mystic again to help Ben and Susan. I understand you’re willing to do anything for your close friend Ben. And Susan is my best friend too. How could I stop you from helping them? What made me angry is that you left without saying anything. You could have explained everything to me before you left.”
She looked at him steadily. “Or do you think I’m not trustworthy enough?”
“Of course not!” Thomas exclaimed, panicked. ‘T… I just didn’t want to worry you.
“So, in your eyes, I’m that fragile?” Theresa raised an eyebrow

Chapter 394
“L…” Usually quick–witted, Thomas found himself at a loss for words under Theresa’s questioning.
Theresa sighed and turned to leave.
Thomas quickly grabbed her, “Where are you going?”
“Where can I go? Theresa responded irritably. “I’m already here. Are you going to send me away now? After I settle things with you, naturally, I should meet Susan and her family. Don’t you have any manners?”
“Right, right, you’re absolutely right!” Thomas instantly agreed with enthusiasm.
Theresa was at a loss.
She couldn’t understand how someone who seemed so lacking in poise could be the legendary Medical Mystic.
