Go Back and I Rule There novel Chapter 18

“Miss! Ms. Martinez! I’ve finally found you!”

Mr. Lee spoke with a distinct Prax accent, his excitement making his beer belly jiggle.

Rosalind turned to look at him. He wore a fine suit, and though he wasn’t tall, he exuded a powerful business aura.

She didn't recognize him from her circle of acquaintances.

Rosalind picked up her bag, her expression neutral. “You have the wrong person.”

“The wrong person…” Mr. Lee repeated her words, his face falling. He had seen the young woman’s striking looks and refined demeanor and had assumed she was the Ms. Martinez he was supposed to find.

Now he felt like he was just grasping at straws.

The information from Oakhelm never mentioned that Ms. Martinez knew medicine.

If this young woman was truly Ms. Martinez, with such exquisite medical skills, the Yates family would surely have mentioned it.

He had just been momentarily confused because her silhouette looked so similar.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Rosalind turned to leave.

Mr. Lee stopped her again. “Wait, young lady, could you please come with me to the hospital?”

Rosalind’s eyes were deep as she gestured for him to continue.

Wiping sweat from his brow, Mr. Lee avoided mentioning the Martinez family and offered a more generic explanation. “It’s like this: my boss went on a trip to the countryside and suddenly came down with a fever. He’s been burning up for a whole day now. We’ve tried antibiotics and an IV drip at the hospital, but his temperature won’t go down. I was hoping you could come take a look.”

“If he’s already at the hospital, you have nothing to worry about. The professional doctors there will ensure he gets better,” Rosalind said, initially declining.

Her grandmother still didn't know that the Yates family had kicked her out.

Rosalind planned to visit the apothecary after her clinic.
