Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 322

Chapter 322 I Am His Girlfriend Now Samuel gave her a vague answer, “Who knows?" He could notcare less about Finn's issue at that moment. His main priority was to ensure that Gizem would stayalive. For him, it served as a kind of insurance policy. He hoped that if something were to happen tohim, Gizem would remember his goodwill and continue to treat Desi's illness.

“I should thank you nonetheless, Mr. Macari,” Gizem insisted. She felt incredibly appreciative ofSamuel. Samuel wore an indifferent expression. “As you should.” “Mr. Macari, you've beencontinuously reminding me of your kindness. Is this your method of bribing me to take good care ofDesi?” Gizem inquired, her gaze locked on Samuel. Much to her surprise, Samuel gave her astraightforward reply, “Yes. You're right.” He did not mind her knowing his intentions. “I didn'texpect you to be calculative, Mr. Macari,” Gizem remarked casually. Nonchalantly, Samuel retorted,"You could always opt to betray my kindness.” “I won't,” Gizem firmly proclaimed. “I've decided totake on the responsibility of caring for Desi, and I have no intention of quitting. Unless you want thecaregiver changed, or else, I won't slack off on my work until Desi turns eighteen and eventuallygets her surgery done.” In a cold tone, Samuel said, “I hope you keep to your promise, Dr. Zabinski.”Samuel's evident lack of sincerity was audible to Gizem throughout his speech. She stated, castinghim a sidelong glance, “Don’t worry. I never turn back on my promises.” Instead of responding,Samuel kept his attention on the road as he sent Gizem back to the hospital. He was not the type tospare his attention on people other than his two children. Gizem was just about to thank Samuelwhen she got out of the car. However, the latter drove away instantly. Gizem was renderedspeechless. Forget it. She then turned around and walked toward her office.

The phone on the office desk rang just as she walked in. “Master?” Gizem murmured as sheanswered the phone. “I've heard you were held captive by Finn,” Theodore questioned playfully.“Yeah,” Gizem replied while nodding. “He wanted me to treat his wife, but it turns out that he’s theone who's sick.” “What's wrong with him?” Theodore inquired, intrigued. “Probably something to dowith his kidney,” Gizem said monotonously. “Does this mean that you've run a checkup on him?”Theodore asked again. “No. I merely took a look at him,” Gizem answered. “Traditional medicinerequires the practitioner to listen, ask, and observe, yet you were able to tell what his problem wasjust by a mere glance. You're indeed amazing,” Theodore exclaimed with a laugh. Gizem said inexasperation, “That's not a big deal, but I honestly had no idea that guys like him existed! How darehe hold me hostage?” Damn it! “I've heard you've taught him a lesson, didn't you?” Theodorequestioned. Furrowing her brows, Gizem asked, “How did you know, Master? Did the news spreadthat quickly?” Theodore was at a loss for words. Regaining his composure, he said, “I have myconnections in Jadeborough.” Gizem, on the other hand, was skeptical of his words.

“Then why didn’t you send your people to help me, Master?” “Umm...” Theodore muttered, clearlytaken aback by Gizem's question. “I'm the disciple capable of making the most money for you!"Gizem ranted. “That's because I know how capable you are. I know Finn won't be able to harm you,”Theodore explained. Yet, Gizem remained skeptical. “I'm hanging up if there's nothing else, Master.”“Take good care of yourself,” Theodore reminded. “Got it.” With that, Gizem ended the call with afrown etched on her face. Somehow, she had a weird feeling about her conversation with Theodore.However, a knock on the door soon snapped her out of her thoughts. Gizem turned around at thesound. “You are?” “Hi, I'm Gemma. I was previously Dr. Zimmer's nurse. The management informedme that you'll need a nurse.

That's why I'm here,” Gemma said with a small smile. Gizem nodded. “Nice to meet you, Gemma.”“I've been working in this hospital for many years. Thus, I'm very familiar with everything aroundhere. Do let me know if you need anything,” Gemma said as she entered the office. “I will,” Gizemreplied. She stared at Gemma and asked, “Are you Richard's girlfriend?” A blush crept up Gemma'scheeks as she stuttered, “N-No. I'm not...” “I saw a picture of you in Richard's wallet. I noticed itwhen he treated us to coffee during our hospital meeting,” Gizem explained. Gemma only pursedher lips shyly and remained silent upon hearing Gizem's words. “Are you free during the afternoon?”Gizem asked curiously. “Yeah, I am. Do you need anything?” Gemma inquired. “I want to get a car,”Gizem replied. “I see. I'll go with you,” Gemma said with a chuckle. “All right,” Gizem responded,wearing her doctor's coat. “Could you please let the patients in?” Gemma nodded in response.Immediately after work, Gizem and Gemma headed to a car dealership shop. In a hushed tone,Gemma inquired, “Are you sure this shop is where you want to purchase your car? They're all ratherpricey.” Gizem nodded. “Yeah, I've been driving cars like these during my time in Moranta.” “Wow!You're loaded, Dr. Zabinski!” Gemma exclaimed in shock.

The cars from this shop cost about four to five million. However, the price would quickly rise to awhopping six million when all external charges were included. Gizem became aware of the problemas she hurriedly explained, “I'm not trying to show off my wealth.” “You don’t have to get so tense,Dr. Zabinski,” Gemma reassured with a laugh. “Let's just take a look at the cars,” Gizem muttered.Previously, Gizem did not care about others’ opinion on her. But when she heard Gemma's words,she felt the need to explain herself right away. After some browsing, Gizem finally settled on the carthat she bought during her time in Moranta. The only difference was that the one in the shop wasthe latest version. It was black in color and had a sleek design. “I'll get this one please,” Gizem statedsoftly. The shop assistant was overjoyed. “Of course. Would you want to pay in installments or infull?” “Full payment, please,” Gizem responded, pulling out her black card.

The shop assistant’s eyes widened upon seeing Gizem's black card. After all, not everyone owned ablack card as such. Most importantly, these cards were not given out to anyone at random.However, just as the shop assistant was going to accept the card in Gizem's hand, it was grabbedaway by someone else. It was Yareli. She questioned, her tone dripping with mockery, “Don’t youfeel ashamed spending someone else's money, Dr. Zabinski?" Gizem shot her a sideways glance asshe asked icily, “Someone else's money?” “You heard me right. I reckon this card belongs toSamuel.” Yareli's eyes remained steely as she continued, “Samuel would not simply hand over hisblack card to anyone. Admit it; you stole the card, didn't you?” Gizem gripped Yareli's wrist andsnatched the black card back. “Is there only one black card in the entire world?” “Anyway, it'simpossible that a mere doctor like you owns one! You must have stolen Samuel's black card andcame here to act like you're loaded!” Yareli exclaimed. Gizem chose to ignore Yareli. She turned tothe shop assistant and handed him the card. “I'd like to get the car immediately after thetransaction.” The shop assistant was at a loss for words. Hesitantly, he replied, “All right.” “I'm tellingyou, you'll be committing theft if you dare swipe the card!” Yareli screamed at the shop assistant.The shop assistant stopped in his tracks, clearly at a loss for what to do. Meanwhile, Gemma hadjust returned from the restroom. She immediately strode toward Gizem after seeing Yareli puttingGizem in a tight spot. Angrily, she yelled, “Are you out of your mind, Yareli?” “Oh. It's you,” Yarelisneered. “What about me?” Gemma asked, displeased by Yareli's tone. “I'm not like you; I don'tbrazenly pester a man who doesn’t love me. Hell, you even want to become the stepmother to hischildren! Not to mention, the children’s mother is your cousin.” Everyone was looking at Yareli withodd gazes upon hearing Gemma'’s words. Yareli bit her lip. “What nonsense are you spouting!Kathleen has been dead for years. It's not like it's illegal for me to like Samuel!” “It's not illegal, ofcourse. But does Samuel even like you?” Gemma pressed on. Yareli fumed, “At least I'm his girlfriendnow!"
