Chapter 322

I Am His Girlfriend Now

Samuel gave her a vague answer, “Who knows?” He could not care less about Finn’s issue at that
moment. His main priority was to ensure that Gizem would stay alive. For him, it served as a kind of
insurance policy. He hoped that if something were to happen to him, 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 of
Samuel. Samuel wore an indifferent expression. “As you should.” “Mr. Macari, you’ve been
continuously reminding me of your kindness. Is this your method of bribing me to take good care of
Desi?” Gizem inquired, her gaze locked on Samuel. Much to her surprise, Samuel gave her a
straightforward reply, “Yes. You’re right.” He did not mind her knowing his intentions. “I didn’t expect
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 to take on the
responsibility of caring for Desi, and I have no intention of quitting. Unless you want the caregiver
changed, or else, I won’t slack off on my work until Desi turns eighteen and eventually gets 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, casting him 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 to spare his attention
on people other than his two children. Gizem was just about to thank Samuel when she got out of the
car. However, the latter drove away instantly. Gizem was rendered speechless. 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 she answered
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 the one who’s sick.”



“What’s wrong with him?” Theodore inquired, intrigued. “Probably something to do with 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 medicine requires the practitioner to
listen, ask, and observe, yet you were able to tell what his problem was just by a mere glance. You’re
indeed amazing,” Theodore exclaimed with a laugh. Gizem said in exasperation, “That’s not a big deal,
but I honestly had no idea that guys like him existed! How dare he hold me hostage?” Damn it! “I’ve
heard you’ve taught him a lesson, didn’t you?” Theodore questioned. Furrowing her brows, Gizem
asked, “How did you know, Master? Did the news spread that quickly?” Theodore was at a loss for
words. Regaining his composure, he said, “I have my connections 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, clearly
taken 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 a frown
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 the
sound. “You are?” “Hi, I’m Gemma. I was previously Dr. Zimmer’s nurse. The management informed
me 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 around here. Do let
me know if you need anything,” Gemma said as she entered the office. “I will,” Gizem replied. She
stared at Gemma and asked, “Are you Richard’s girlfriend?” A blush crept up Gemma’s cheeks as she
stuttered, “N-No. I’m not…” “I saw a picture of you in Richard’s wallet. I noticed it when he treated us to
coffee during our hospital meeting,” Gizem explained. Gemma only pursed her 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 rather pricey.” 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 a
whopping six million when all external charges were included. Gizem became aware of the problem as
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 car that
she bought during her time in Moranta. The only difference was that the one in the shop was the latest
version. It was black in color and had a sleek design. “I’ll get this one please,” Gizem stated softly. The
shop assistant was overjoyed. “Of course. Would you want to pay in installments or in full?” “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 a
black 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 grabbed away by
someone else. It was Yareli. She questioned, her tone dripping with mockery, “Don’t you feel ashamed
spending someone else’s money, Dr. Zabinski?” Gizem shot her a sideways glance as she asked icily,
“Someone else’s money?” “You heard me right. I reckon this card belongs to Samuel.” Yareli’s eyes
remained steely as she continued, “Samuel would not simply hand over his black card to anyone.
Admit it; you stole the card, didn’t you?” Gizem gripped Yareli’s wrist and snatched the black card back.
“Is there only one black card in the entire world?” “Anyway, it’s impossible that a mere doctor like you



owns one! You must have stolen Samuel’s black card and came here to act like you’re loaded!” Yareli
exclaimed. Gizem chose to ignore Yareli. She turned to the shop assistant and handed him the card.
“I’d like to get the car immediately after the transaction.” The shop assistant was at a loss for words.
Hesitantly, he replied, “All right.” “I’m telling you, 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 had just
returned from the restroom. She immediately strode toward Gizem after seeing Yareli putting Gizem in
a tight spot. Angrily, she yelled, “Are you out of your mind, Yareli?” “Oh. It’s you,” Yareli sneered. “What
about me?” Gemma asked, displeased by Yareli’s tone. “I’m not like you; I don’t brazenly pester a man
who doesn’t love me. Hell, you even want to become the stepmother to his children! Not to mention,
the children’s mother is your cousin.” Everyone was looking at Yareli with odd 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, of course. But does Samuel even
like you?” Gemma pressed on. Yareli fumed, “At least I’m his girlfriend now!”
