Noticing his amused look, Melina’s gaze followed Bryson’s to rest on Hannah.
“Did you introduce Miss Moore, Bryson? I’ve heard of her significant contributions to the medical field.”
With a nod of agreement, Bryson shared, “She indeed has made remarkable progress in medicine.”
Melina, with a courteous smile, addressed Hannah.
“Miss Moore, could you assist me with something?”
Hannah, a tad hesitant, inquired, “What do you need? As Mr. Mitchell’s associate, I’ll certainly try my best.”
Melina said, “Here’s how you can assist…” Melina softly brushed her hair behind her ear and inquired, “Miss Moore, would you come to my home and help my family with a complete medical check-up?”
Hannah primarily dealt with major surgeries and complex diseases, and she had never conducted such exams.
She was at a loss for words, finding it hard to decline the poised and graceful Melina.
“If your family requires a comprehensive medical examination, I can arrange an appointment with a private doctor in Montgomert,” Bryson offered.

Melina responded with a playful twinkle in her eye, “I know. I’ll follow your advice. I’ve noticed Dr. Garza has been preoccupied with Grace lately. I don’t want to impose on him. I understand your hesitation to involve outsiders, so I’ll wait for you to set up an appointment with another doctor.”
Hannah lowered her gaze and absentmindedly tapped on her phone screen, somehow feeling an unusual mix of discomfort and unease.
As the food was served, Melina’s expression shifted to one of displeasure.
“What happened with the chef today? Bryson, you never indulge in spicy dishes. Why is today’s menu so spicy?”
“I simply requested the chef to follow the menu,” Bryson replied. He glanced towards Hannah, suggesting, “Miss Moore, since you have a liking for spicy cuisines, why not try the dishes prepared by my chef from Lavenke?”
Hannah tasted the dish and responded with a mild surprise, “It’s truly authentic, but…”
She hesitated, then added, “It’s exceedingly spicy. It might be too much for you tonight.”
Grace tasted the dish and tugged at Hannah’s sleeve.
“The food isn’t as delightful as what you prepare. Perhaps we should dine at your place next?”
Chuckling, Melina chimed in, “Do you both secretly dine out without inviting me? Next time, make sure I’m included.”
She then playfully glanced at Hannah.
“Miss Moore, would you mind if I joined?”
“Not at all,” Hannah replied, her smile subtle yet warm.
After their meal, Melina’s driver came for her.
