TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 72

Samantha had already asked Alan to give Vincent a heads-up and so immediately said, “Doctor, I’d like to know whether it’s possible to treat lifelong infertility resulting from accident-sustained damage?”

She only chose to ask Vincent because he was a top doctor in the field of gynecology and would be able to provide the most authoritative answer.

Vincent was a little surprised by her question and reached for his teacup to sip some tea. Rather than answering her question, he said in a relaxed tone, “Given your physical condition, Mrs. Barker, I don’t think there’s any need for you to ask a question like that.”

Samantha smiled and said openly, “I’m just trying to rid myself of some doubts. Your answer to this question is very important to me.”

She then added sincerely, “I hope you can dispel those doubts for me, Dr. Jameson.”

Vincent put down his teacup and raised his hand to adjust the spectacle frame on the bridge of his nose. “All I can say is that anyone with such a condition would be very lucky to meet me.”

Samantha’s fingertips trembled slightly. She could not help but raise her voice a little and one could hear the panic in her voice. “Does that mean…you can heal it, Dr. Jameson?”

“Medical science has been progressing rapidly and miracles are happening all the time. I’ve devoted myself to researching this after retiring from medical practice and have since made great breakthroughs in recent years.”

Vincent spoke about his field of expertise with pride and confidence. “…and there have already been successful cases amongst our volunteers.”

Samantha was gloomy after hearing his words. “That…might be a huge blessing to women and mankind, but…”

After a pause, she smiled bitterly. “…I don’t think that’s good news for me.”

Vincent stretched out his hand to pat her shoulder and comforted her, “You’re my patient now. I only accept one patient at a time and I’ll leave after a week. Does saying that make you feel better?”

He was implying that he would not agree if anyone else requests to seek his consultation, and once he left, it would be a mountainous task to get him to come out again.

It allowed her to relax a little.

Samantha understood and smiled in relief.

After finishing their afternoon tea, Samantha took the elevator upstairs with Vincent and went back to their respective rooms.

…

At Lychee TV, Timothy’s affection towards Samantha was still being enthusiastically discussed even though Samantha had taken a day off and did not come to work.

Harmony had to listen to that subject as long as she was in the office, when she had coffee at the cafe, when she used the restroom, and even when she was eating at a restaurant outside. The gossip buzzed in her ears like an annoying swarm of flies. She was getting angry and bitter because she could not avoid it regardless of however hard she tried.

She even wondered whether Samantha had spent money to hire those people and plant them around her just to deliberately talk about it and annoy her!

After languishing through the workday, Harmony packed her things and had prepared to leave when her phone started ringing.

When she reached for her phone to glance at the caller ID, her gloomy expression cleared at once and she answered immediately.

The other side said something that sparked joy in her eyes. “Really? Okay, understood.”

After hanging up the phone, she replayed what she had just heard and could not help but feel her heartbeat quickening.

Timothy had succeeded in inviting the renowned Dr. Vincent Jameson, a doctor who could treat women who were unable to conceive due to physical damage.

Harmony had never given up in all those years, but despite consulting many doctors, everyone shook their heads at her and said that there was nothing they could do about her.

Despair gradually sank in and she soon gave up.

Unexpectedly, medical techniques advanced with time and what was impossible to treat in the past had now received a glimmer of hope.

Harmony could not help but caress her stomach.

If she could be treated and get pregnant on her own, then the obstacle between her and Timothy would be completely resolved. Why would she need another woman’s child, especially when the child came from someone as vile as Samantha?

Samantha’s remark—that bearing Timothy’s child made her inextricably linked to him for the rest of her life—had pierced Harmony’s heart like a needle.

She even said that her child would never acknowledge a homewrecker as a mother and might one day be the death of Harmony!

Despite those unpleasant words, Harmony had to admit that Samantha was telling the truth!

A baby who was born from another woman’s womb would most likely turn out to have a different mindset.

Worse comes to worst, the child might grow up ungrateful despite being raised with care and love! All that effort would then go to waste!

In any case, she had to find a way to get Vincent to treat her, and she would fight for it until the very end, even if there was only a ten percent chance of success!

Needless to say, time was of the essence because Vincent would only be staying in Capital City for a short period.

Harmony thought to herself for a moment and picked up her bag to leave.

…

At seven o’clock in the evening, Vincent brought his assistant Leah to the hotel restaurant.

Halfway through their meal, the restaurant manager came over with a bottle of fine quality red wine and presented it to Vincent. He respectfully said, “Hello there, Sir. This is courtesy of a young lady.”

The wine was Vincent’s favorite.

He cocked an eyebrow and asked. “Who is it?”

The restaurant manager looked to a table at the far right, behind him, “That young lady there.”

Vincent turned around and looked over.

There sat a demure and beautiful woman. She smiled slightly and raised a glass to him from afar when she spotted him looking over.

Vincent turned around again and said a few words to the restaurant manager, who then brought the wine back and walked to the woman.

He put down the bottle of wine and said respectfully, “I’m sorry, Ms. Johnson. Dr. Jameson wanted me to tell you that he can’t accept it because he didn’t earn it. He says you should enjoy this good wine by yourself.”

Harmony did not appear unhappy despite hitting a wall. She nodded and said, “I understand.”

On the way to the hotel, she had asked some people to do a thorough investigation of Vincent’s background since it was beneficial to have a good understanding of who she was dealing with.

All geniuses had their unique temperaments.

It was inevitable that Vincent would be hard to convince.

Still, she was confident that she would eventually succeed in persuading him to treat her.

For the record, so far, Harmony was able to get whatever she wanted.

She did not dwell too much on it and waved to a waiter. After footing the bill, she got up and left.

Half an hour later, Vincent and Leah finished their meal and footed the bill before walking out of the restaurant.

The moment they stepped out of the door, someone suddenly shouted, “Hold on, Dr. Jameson!”
