Chapter 240
"Her? Maybe the new doctor. I'm not really sure," the lady replied.
She thought for a moment as she looked at Yolanda and continued, "But | heard the owner of Willow Creek Clinic
changed, and the new doctor is exceptionally skilled and young.
"Is she the new... Hey, young man, why are you leaving? I'm not done yet. Aren't you here for a consultation?"
Seeing that Bryce was completely ignoring her, she huffed in dissatisfaction, "Young people these days just have
no patience!"
Yolanda finished consulting patients at Willow Creek Clinic in the afternoon and returned to the Henderson
residence just in tfor dinner.
As she was changing her shoes in the foyer, she overheard Diana on the phone. The person she was speaking to
sounded like her sister, Eleanor.
Yolanda assumed that with Diana's temperament, she wouldn't keep in touch with Eleanor after that incident.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut to her surprise, they were chatting happily.
Diana hadn't seemed this excited in a long time. Her face was animated with joy. It wasn't until she saw Yolanda
walk in that she composed herself somewhat.
While sitting on the couch, Diana turned her back to face Yolanda and lowered her voice. However, Yolanda had
good hearing and could catch snippets of their conversation without straining to listen.
She wasn't particularly interested in Diana's affairs anyway. As she headed upstairs, she caught words like
"secret recipe", "hot-selling", and "money" but paid them little mind.
Once back in her bedroom, Yolanda's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Rowan.
Since she had asked Rowan to keep her identity a secret, he usually
communicated with her via email. The fact that he was calling meant he had something important to discuss.
"Hello?"
"Yulie, Nydia's been acting weird recently." Rowan got straight to the point as soon as she answered.
"Weird?" Yolanda paused before continuing, "Has she realized you're suspicious of her?"
"Not exactly."
Rowan continued, "She was quite scared after the news broke a while ago. She even went into seclusion. |
suspect she was worried about slipping up, so she hasn't been in touch with us much.
"But these last few days, she suddenly returned home, and she seems to be looking for something."
Upon hearing this, Yolanda immediately recognized what Nydia was searching for. "She's looking for my ring."
"Your ring?" Rowan paused in surprise. "Shouldn't it be in the... ruins?"
He chose his words carefully but still felt uneasy. If what Yolanda said was true, then Yulia had indeed died once
before.
"I'm not sure how it happened, but when | woke up in this body, the ring was already on my finger." Yolanda
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpulled the ring symbolizing her identity from a compartment in her wardrobe.
"Rather than saying it was destiny, it's more accurate to say this ring chose Yolanda."
"I don't quite understand this mystical stuff. But why is she looking for that ring? She could just say she lost it."
Rowan was puzzled.
"Because there are certain powers she can't access without this ring," Yolanda replied slowly. "I suspect she feels
threatened recently.
"If she hasn't colluded with the people trying to kill me, she must be terrified of being mistaken for the real Yulia
and killed."
Rowan finally understood. "No wonder she's been acting so strangely lately. It seems she can't even be bothered
to pretend anymore."
"After all, her disguise skills are almost unbreakable. Even if her personality changes drastically, she still has
room to argue. If Caleb and the others don't believe she's me, then they'll have to accept that | truly 'died" in
that plane crash.
"A slightly odd sister is still better than actually losing someone. That's why Nydia feels confident in taking
advantage of this situation."
