Love at the Wrong Table - Season 8 Episode 21

Emmanuel sent Rhea and her family home. As they got out of the car, Juan

said guiltily, “Emmanuel, I’m really sorry! I originally planned to treat you to a

meal today, but who would have thought-Geez!”

Rhea’s face instantly turned red again. She lowered her head.

“Dr. Gómez, don’t worry about it. I appreciate your kindness.” Emmanuel

smiled faintly. Today’s trip had already brought him quite a few gains.

Firstly, Rhea taught him how to help his cousin set up a date.

Secondly, he happened to ruin the blind date between Jonathan and Tia.

Thirdly, he made Jonathan owe him a huge amount of money.

That was the amount he wouldn’t be able to earn in a hundred years with his

annual salary of 25 grand.

“No, that won’t do.” Juan insisted. “You didn’t get to taste the food Rhea made.

The next time you visit, we’ll make sure you get a good taste of them. Right,

Rhea?”

“Yeah.” Rhea quickly nodded profusely.

She not only admired Emmanuel’s medical skills, but he was also her life

savior! Moreover, it seemed that he had seen and touched her body.

Oh my, it was too embarrassing…

The mere thought of it made her feel a sensation spreading through her

body.

“The next time you are free, Dr. Gomez, I’ll take the liberty of visiting again.”

Emmanuel could only accept graciously.

“It’s a promise.” Juan was in a good mood. After witnessing Emmanuel’s

medical skills, he was even more certain that the man in front of him was at

the pinnacle of Yeringham’s medical field.

“Goodbye.” After bidding farewell to the Gomez family, Emmanuel drove back.

Various thoughts were running in his head.

Was I the target of the poison today?

He only knew that it was a combination of poison. The main component of the poison, which seeped into the boiled water, wouldn’t harm the human

body. Even if one ran a test on it, no toxicity would be detected.

Yet, once it combined with the source of the poison, it would produce a

deadly poison, which could kill a person in a short time after a second

mutation.

Emmanuel had only read such an ancient combination of poison in ‘Divine

Valley Medical Records.’

Who could have developed this poison and implanted the source of the

poison in Jonathan? Is it another murder plot deduced by Magnus?

His phone suddenly rang, interrupting his train of thought.

“Emmanuel, could you pick me up from work tonight?” Mackenzie was

straightforward as always.

“Sure,” he agreed readily.

Judging from how the icy goddess was working overtime on her first official

day back after the New Year, it seemed that Terence Group had a lot going

on recently.

His car soon arrived at the entrance of the Terence Group headquarters. A

BMW i8 was driven out from the inside.

Seeing Emmanuel’s Maserati, the BMW driver pulled over and wound the

window down.

Lexi’s smile carried a mature charm. “Ms. Quillen just got off work, and I sent

the third wheeler home. Do you want to go up and pick her up?”

The third wheeler?

Emmanuel looked at the passenger seat to see Beatrix pouting, obviously

unhappy about riding home with Lexi.

“Okay, thanks.” Emmanuel parked his car at the entrance before heading to

the elevator.

The Terence Group was still brightly lit, and the security guards were on

patrol.

However, he felt something was off.

It feels like someone is tailing me. This is the Terence Group headquarters,

though?

At this moment, the elevator door opened. His eyes lit up upon seeing the

beauty inside. Naturally, it was his heart-throbbing goddess, Mackenzie!

“Emmanuel, why did you walk here?”

“I’m worried about your safety,” Emmanuel answered honestly..
