"I'll make sure of it. Thank you for coming," Allen said, his smile barely perceptible.
"You're welcome," replied the doctor, extending his hand, which Allen accepted.
As he turned around, he noticed the stunning woman standing a short distance away from him. Allen observed him gazing at Lilian with admiration. He felt uneasy knowing that another man was looking at his woman with desire.
"This is Lilian, Aurora's mother," Allen introduced. The doctor glanced with surprise and promptly shook Lilian's hand.
He seemed to grasp her hand for a moment longer than usual, prompting Lilian to briefly glance at Allen, who was observing their interaction, before giving him a cold stare.
Unconsciously, Lilian swiftly retracted her hand and averted her gaze. The doctor bid farewell and left.
