Chapter 741

Madeline Delmonico had been restless lately.

Since the scandal about the real and fake Dr. Luna had swept through high society, she began doubting whether Zoe Chamberlain, the doctor treating her, was truly the renowned miracle physician.

Zoe's last prescription had worked.

Those black pills miraculously cured her chronic migraines.

But the ease of her relief only made her more uneasy.

"Dr. Luna, how much longer should I take these?" Madeline's fingers trembled slightly as she held the phone.

Zoe's calm voice responded, "Continue the medication. I'll arrange follow-up treatments."

"Understood. Thank you."

Hanging up, Madeline massaged her temples.

At least the headaches were gone.

As for that young girl Vivian Laurent—she was clearly an impostor.

Vivian stood by the hospital window, sunlight spilling over her shoulders.

Zoe had to be working with someone.

No one could orchestrate such an elaborate scheme alone.

But what was the point of impersonating Dr. Luna?

The question gnawed at her.

"Auntie!"

Theo's bright voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

The boy had been moved to a general ward, grinning at her from his bed.

Ethan Roscente stood on the other side, exhaustion lining his bloodshot eyes.

"Does it still hurt?" He gripped Theo's small hand, voice rough.

Theo shook his head. "Not when you and Auntie are here."

Though pale, his eyes had regained some spark.

"Silly boy." Vivian gently ruffled his hair. "Get well soon."

Theo suddenly looked down.

"Uncle..." He hesitated. "Mom, she..."

At the mention of Sophia Evans, the air in the room turned heavy.

Ethan's knuckles whitened.

"Mom didn't mean it," Theo rushed to explain. "I made her angry..."

His innocence was heartbreaking.

Vivian exchanged a glance with Ethan.

"Uncle, Mom's all alone." Theo's eyes glistened. "Please don't blame her?"

The child didn't know.

The woman he desperately defended wasn't his real mother.
