Chapter 501 Asher had raised his voice not to dismiss the company but merely to remind Mirabella of her standing. It wasn’t intended as a harsh eviction, after all. The Reeves family had always placed a high value on proper etiquette.

He straightened up, dropping his arms from their folded position, and without another word, made his way towards the exit.

The butler, seeing this, wiped the sweat from his brow and turned his attention back to Mirabella, whispering, “Ms. Mirabella, Mr. Asher can be a bit blunt. He didn’t mean any harm-please, don’t take it to heart.” Mirabella stepped through the threshold with a slight arch of her brow, murmuring an acknowledgment.

Soon after, the butler led Mirabella into the grand living room. Beside Nikolai sat an unfamiliar middle-aged man-roughly in his thirties-with a rugged brow and a serious mien, exuding an unmistakable aura of authority.

Mirabella cast him a brief glance before turning her attention away.

“Ms. Mirabella, you've finally arrived,” said Nikolai, his face lighting up with relief.

He stood up and turned to introduce her to the stern-faced man, “This is the medical prodigy I've told you about, Miss Mirabella Davis.” The man’s piercing gaze landed on Mirabella, his expression stern as if he were sizing up a suspect.

Pressing a hand to his forehead, he didn’t wait for Nikolai to respond before saying. “Didn’t Dane say he was almost home? | think I'll wait for Dane to treat my husband.” Nikolai understood that Johnny's reluctance stemmed from seeing Mirabella as just a young girl. He had Intentionally hinted at her youth earlier, hoping to prevent this exact situation, but it seemed his efforts were in vain.

Glancing at Mirabella, concerned she might just walk out, Nikolai cleared his throat and said to Johnny. “Trust me, Johnny, Mirabella’s skills in medicine are beyond mine.” After a pause, Johnny replied, “Let's wait for Dane.” The prestige of being a mid-level apothecary from the Riverdale Pharmacists‘ Guild spoke volumes about Dane’s capabilities. Johnny couldn't risk his employer's well-being on an unknown girl. It was too much of a gamble.

Unruffled by Johnny's barely concealed contempt, Mirabella calmly studied Nikolai's worried face : " ” and agreed, “Of course.”
