Chapter 520

"File a complaint if you want. Get out now." Vivian Laurent's icy gaze swept over Sophia Sherwood, not even granting her a second glance.

This pathetic attempt to pick a fight was laughable. The hospital was packed with patients waiting in line, yet Sophia was here wasting medical resources.

"Dr. Laurent seems quite irritable today." Sophia remained seated, tapping her fingers lightly on the desk. "I haven't finished my consultation yet."

She lowered her voice abruptly. "By the way, Ethan keeps mentioning you lately."

Vivian's hand paused slightly as she flipped through the medical records.

"His son is extremely clingy, always demanding his father's attention." Sophia smiled meaningfully. "The boy looks just like him—same eyes, same nose. A carbon copy."

The air conditioner hummed loudly in the examination room.

"I recommend seeing a psychiatrist." Vivian snapped the medical file shut. "Next patient!"

As security escorted Sophia out, she was still loudly mentioning the Roscente Group's annual gala.

Vivian stared at the computer screen, the cursor blinking on the patient record.

So Ethan hadn't shown up these past few days because he was with his son. She clicked the mouse mechanically, suddenly finding the keyboard glaringly bright.

During lunch break, a colleague handed her coffee. "You look terrible."

"Didn't sleep well last night." Vivian rubbed her temples. She'd been unusually drowsy lately, nearly falling asleep on her feet during rounds.

Before leaving work, she made a point to check on Liam. The young man was in rehab, his eyes lighting up when he saw her.

When she got home, the living room lights were blazing. Dominic Atlante and Finn Deross stood like sentinels, one seated, one standing.

"What's this about?" Vivian kicked off her heels.

Finn rushed over. "Master! Three Dark Web strongholds were just taken down!"

Vivian's bag hit the floor with a thud.
