Chapter 82 Fan Meeting
Even though Isolde had tried to bang the door, no one from outside answered her. She wore a lab coat, but as the freezing wind blew in at twelve degrees Celsius, she sneezed repeatedly.
“It’s so cold. It’s almost nine–thirty. I’m supposed to be in surgery soon!”
Initially, she’d planned to use this surgery as a stepping stone to get in the good graces of an influential older gentlernan, hoping he’d support her as a backer.
But Celeste’s sudden appearance had ruined all her plans. Isolde wished Celeste was dead,
As time went by, Isolde’s body grew colder. She glanced at the bottle of pills Celeste had thrown at her earlier.
She picked it up and sniffed it. The medicine had a strong, pungent odor, but she didn’t know what it was.
Isolde hesitated to try it. She feared it might be poison from Celeste, and she could very well drop dead right there if she took it. So, she’d rather stay cold than take any risks with the pills.
Four hours passed, and her body had become completely numb from the cold. Unable to endure it any longer, she finally took the pills Celeste had given her. Even if it was poison, Isolde had no other choice. She was on the verge of freezing to death.
As the medication took effect, warmth began to spread through her body. “I can’t believe Celeste’s pills are working!” Isolde’s body warmed up considerably as soon as she took them. But strangely, the heat she felt seemed unusual. She suddenly felt overwhelmingly thirsty and an intense, uncomfortable sensation built inside her–a hollow, aching desire.
She craved a man’s presence.
Throwing away the pill bottle, she now understood why Celeste had so kindly offered her the medication. It turned out to be an aphrodisiac.
Isolde cursed inwardly, ‘That bitch!‘ She was locked in a warehouse alone, with no antidote and no man in sight to relieve her suffering.
“This is unbearable… So cold.”
At that moment, Isolde was experiencing the same torture Celeste had gone through on Saturday. She lay on the floor alone, her legs twitching restlessly.
“I can’t take it anymore… I need a man.” Isolde’s thoughts became hazy and distant as her awareness began to blur. After completing her surgery and confirming the patient’s stable condition, Celeste returned to the warehouse to check on Isolde. Standing outside, she heard the sounds coming from within, and a triumphant smile spreading across her face. Judging by the noises Isolde was making, she must have taken the pills Celeste had left her. She was now left to endure the effects alone, without a man to help her through it.
But unlike Celeste, who had endured silently, Isolde’s cries were unmistakably loud. Celeste thought of being merciful and found a man to keep her company.
But on second thought, Celeste decided against it. Isolde could deal with this herself, and she wasn’t about to help Isolde. Smiling in satisfaction, Celeste lingered at the door before turning and leaving.
Back upstairs, as Wesley saw her, he hurried over. “Ms. Sinclair, the patient’s family would like to see you.”
Celeste replied, “Can’t you handle that? You assisted me in the surgery, after all. You can answer their questions; I don’t need to be there.”
She disliked socializing the most, especially since she’d just received a message from her team. They’d informed her that it was the day of the fan meet–up and asked if she’d like to attend.
Remembering her promise to Declan, Celeste chose to attend the fan event while there was still time. However, Wesley suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. He seemed reluctant to let her go.
“If it was any other family, I can see them on your behalf. However, you have to see this man’s family.”
‘What do you mean, I have to? Could his family be some great figure?‘ Celeste thought of this possibility and finally followed Wesley’s instructions to go to the patient’s ward.
nel?” The moment she pushed the door open, she saw a familiar figure. Celeste called out uncertainly, “S–Stefano
fferent from a 60–year–old man. He was even older than Successfully unlocked!
Stefano turned to look at Celeste. He was over 50 butipo he looked on television, but his face was extreine Dressed in a black suit, Stefano looked at Celeste amiably. “Are you the woman who performed surgery on my father?” Celeste replied respectfully, “Yes!”
“You’re even younger than I thought.” He thought the girl Wesley was talking about was at least in her thirties, but he did

not expect her to be less than 20.
Because of the surgery, Celeste had removed her mask after entering the operating room. She had yet to put it on. Hence, Stefano saw her face.
Celeste thought Stefano said such words because she was too young and didn’t trust her medical skills. She explained firmly and confidently, “Although I’m young, I have decent medical expertise, so don’t worry, your father won’t have any additional problems after this surgery.”
Stefano looked at the confident Celeste and couldn’t help but find it funny.
“You’re quite an interesting young lady. Do you know why I asked Wesley to call you over?”
“I don’t know.”
Stefano went to the sofa and sat down. He said to Celeste, “I once told the doctor in this hospital that no matter who it is, as long as they can perform surgery on my father, I will agree to a wish that I can fulfill.
“Now that you’ve performed a successful surgery on my dad, do you have any wishes that you need me to fulfill for you?”
‘Wish?‘
Celeste thought briefly and replied, “I don’t have any wishes for you to fulfill for now. Can I request it any other day in the future? I’ll ask you when I find one.”
Stefano nodded in understanding. After all, she only had one wish. She should think about it carefully before telling him what her wish was. He took a SIM card from his bag and handed it to Celeste.
“Use this card to call me when you’ve found your wish, okay? Remember, you can only use this card once. It will be ineligible once used. Hence, you must use it carefully.”
Celeste took the card and thanked him. “If that is all, please, let me take my leave first.”
“Do you need an escort?”
Celeste quickly waved her hand. “Thanks, but I don’t need your men to escort me. I can drive alone.”
When Stefano heard this, he stopped sending her off. He sat on the sofa and watched her disappear from his sight. Meanwhile, Celeste immediately drove to the fan meeting venue after leaving the hospital.
