Chapter 1197
“Why would my opinion influence your casting decision?” Mitchel replied,
genuinely confused.
Aviana’s laughter bubbled up. “Did you not catch Ripley's glances?
Looks like Dr. Chadwick's fan club just gained a member. You never seem to lose
your touch, do you?”
A hint of amusement twinkled in Mitchel's eyes. “Fan club? Since when did I have
one?”
Ariana smirked, ticking off on her fingers. “Well, there are the smitten nurses at
the hospital, the eager junior researchers in your lab, and don't forget the
patients who always rave about the handsome Dr. Chadwick.”
Mitchel, ever so unruffled, simply murmured an “Hmm” as he drove.
But at the next red light, he suddenly asked, “What about you?”
Mitchel spoke with a depth of sincerity, and when he looked at Ariana, she could
tell he truly meant every word.
Caught off guard by the sudden shift in conversation to her, Ariana laughed a
little too nervously. “Well, I also can't help but admire you, Dr. Chadwick. With
your impressive medical track record, who wouldn't? Your skills and intelligence
in the field are something else.”
Wanting to change the subject, she said, “Things went off without a hitch today.
The movie shoot was issue-free now.”
They exchanged a few words, but then Ariana found herself distracted by the
passing scene outside. A quiet settled between them. They both felt a bit
awkward.
The silence persisted until the car pulled up to the Chadwick home.
As the gates opened, the unmistakable sound of Melon's laughter filled the air.
Opening the door, Mitchel was greeted by the sight of Rodney, Melon, and
Catalina, all engrossed in some floor game.
Hearing them enter, they all looked up, each with a comical piece of paper stuck
to their faces.

Inviting her to take a seat, Rodney shifted the topic. “You were out of the hospital
in no time. How's the injury?”
