Vera immediately rolled her eyes at Ramon.

She thought, ‘Am I staring at that part? By the way, I’ve used it. What’s so interesting to look at?

‘I was looking at Carlos’s underwear, okay? After married Carlos, I once bought underwear for him. It had a black cat pattern and a small tail, at the back. I thought it was a perfect underwear.

‘However, Carlos’s reaction shocked me.

‘He threw it on the ground and even stepped on it twice, calling me the ignorant country bumpkin. He said I should never ask a man to wear such a thing.

‘I remembered that Carlos had thrown that shorts away before me. But now, he is wearing the shorts with the same pattern.

‘It’s so strange.

‘Does Carlos’s taste change after five years? Does he agree with my aesthetic standards from five years ago?‘

Vera shook her head and quickly pulled herself back. She forced herself to focus on performing acupuncture on Carlos.

After Dayton finished the call, he saw Ramon sterilizing the needles and handing them over. Vera was the one who applied acupuncture.

Moreover, when Vera’s face had sweat drops, Ramon kindly wiped them away for her.

Seeing that Dayton had been looking at them in confusion for a while, Ramon explained, “She’s my proudest student. This is a rare opportunity for her.”

Dayton immediately panicked, thinking, ‘Does Dr. Miracle mean that he uses Mr. Monroe as a lab rat so that his assistant can have a chance to practice what she has learned?‘

“No, please don’t. Mr. Ramon, please do it yourself.” Dayton had known Vera for years and trusted her, but he had never heard of Vera knowing acupuncture.

Despite Dayton’s repeated pleas, Vera remained silent. Ramon had no choice but to pretend that his hand hurt and he could not perform acupuncture.

Only then did Dayton shut his mouth and leave it to fate.

Fortunately, after Vera performed the acupuncture, Carlos’s expression softened. Dayton finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Dayton thought, ‘If something happens to Mr. Monroe now, it would be a disaster for the Monroe family!’

Vera stabilized Carlos’s situation. Adam brought everything that Carlos had touched. He even asked someone to get the dress that Averie had worn at the press conference today.

Adam thought, I’ll do everything as long as I can save Mr. Monroe

Vera asked Adam and Dayton tổ take care of Carlos and Neil. Then, she and Ramon went to test the items Adam had brought

However, Adam did not trust Vera. He sent the Monroe family’s bodyguards to follow Vera and keep an eye on her.

What happened at the press conference today made Adam unable to trust Vera. After all, the Monroe and Ford families had a conflict of interest and were fighting for the land in the southern suburbs.

Ramon was annoyed with Adam’s actions and asked, “What do you mean? If we want to hurt Carlos, we don’t have to do anything to him. We just need to sit back and do nothing, and he’ll be dead.”

“Forget it, Ramon. Saving the patient is our first job.”

Vera pulled Ramon away. The test results were all non–toxic, including Averie’s dress.

Vera examined all the parts that Carlos’s hand could touch. She found nothing toxic on the items but that Averie had gynecological problems.

Adam asked, “Are you sure that Mr. Monroe was poisoned through the wound on his hand?”

Adam heard from Dayton that Vera was the reason why Mr. Monroe got injured. Therefore, he suspected everything was part of Vera and James’s plan.

He thought, ‘First, Vera irritated Mr. Monroe, causing him to smash the painting and get injured. Then, she secretly exposed Mr. Monroe to something poisonous.

When it was too late to remove the poison, Vera pretended to show up to save Mr. Monroe.

This way, no one would suspect that Mr. Monroe’s poisoning had something to do with Vera and the Ford family!
