Chapter 705
Rhea retreated to her room, feeling quite distressed.
She wouldn’t deny that she had developed for Emmanuel. That day at the
Lenoir Residence, she was captivated by his medical skills and courage.
It was something she had never experienced with any other man before.
She also knew that Emmanuel was married, but were feelings of attraction
something she could control? No!
Rhea was a proponent of not getting married. She had already decided that
if no other man could replace Emmanuel’s position in her heart, she would
just remain single. Being friends with Emmanuel was enough for her.
Now that her parents were forcing her to go on a blind date, she only had one
option: intentionally sabotage it!
Winning someone over was hard, but driving someone away? That was easy!
With this thought in mind, Rhea gradually calmed down.
Meanwhile, after discussing with his wife, Juan picked up his phone, ready to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcontact the young man from Beacon Hospital.
As the hospital director, a simple phone call should be enough to make the
other party willing to come over.
However, just as he was about to dial, his phone rang.
“Emmanuel?!”
Juan became visibly excited after seeing the caller ID.
He had invited Emmanuel to his home many times to discuss medical skills

“Hello, Emmanuel? Happy New Year! Are you finally free to come over?”
“Happy New Year, Dr. Gomez! If it’s not too presumptuous, I’d like to visit
today.”
“That’s wonderful! I’ll have Rhea cook up some dishes for you! Haha, not to
brag, but Rhea’s cooking is excellent! It’s no inferior to a fancy restaurant!”
“Well, then, thank you in advance for your hospitality, Dr. Gomez!”
“Haha, don’t mention it. I’m looking forward to your visit!”
Juan hung up the phone and immediately stepped out into the living room.
Coincidentally, Rhea walked out of her room as well.
“Rhea, I have some news for you. We have an esteemed guest coming over
shortly. You’ll surely be thrilled to see him. Prepare some of your signature
dishes and wait for him!” Juan said cheerfully.
“Oh…” Rhea responded reluctantly.
She was a well-behaved girl who wouldn’t go against her father’s wishes, but
the thought of cooking for a man she had never met before made her
reluctant.
Humph, it’s not like he’s Emmanuel! I’ll cook the most disgusting dishes and
“poison” you with them. See if you’d dare marry me! By then, he’ll surely keep
his distance! Hehe, I’m so smart, truly worthy of being Emmanuel’s love guru!
She couldn’t help chuckling to herself as the thought crossed her mind.
Seeing her reaction, Juan thought she had guessed that Emmanuel was
coming, so he didn’t say anything more, just smiled and said, “I’ll leave it to
you then. Do your best!”
“Yes, I will definitely do my best!” Rhea nodded, slightly excited.

them, no?
Thinking about the upcoming prank, she inexplicably felt a bit excited.
Without further ado, she hurried downstairs to buy ingredients.
On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Emmanuel immediately left
his place.
As he walked down to the parking lot, he sensed that someone was secretly
following him.
“Who’s there?!”
Emmanuel quickly turned around and followed the noise. However, when he
reached the stairwell, he found it empty.
Emmanuel didn’t believe he had made a mistake in his judgment. He could
only conclude that the person following him this time was much more skilled
than the one who had followed Mackenzie last time!
“Sent by Magnus?” Emmanuel muttered to himself, suspecting the
involvement of Magnus. However, he pretended to have made a mistake on
the surface, not wanting to reveal his vigilance further.
