Chapter 196 Dr. Parker
Bianca pressed her lips together and said softly, "Kieran, you don't know yet, do you? At the birthday party, Mr. Brown and Mr. Parker both came to celebrate Isabella's birthday. I think that's why Dad cares so much about her."
Just thinking about this made Bianca sick with jealousy.
Why was it Isabella and not her who got connected with the Parker family and the Brown family?
Kieran frowned. If that was the case, then everything made sense.
But...
"Why would Isabella know people from the Brown family and the Parker family? Someone like her—why would anyone want to associate with her?"
Even if she was good-looking, Isabella was still a disgusting person. How could she possibly catch William and Soren's eye and get them to celebrate her birthday?
Bianca pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Thinking about her situation after today made her feel even more depressed.
At the birthday party, Isabella had brought a lot of glory to the Taylor family, and now Hayden's attention was completely on Isabella.
If this family could only have one daughter, she thought, Hayden would definitely choose Isabella without hesitation and give her up.
Bianca took a moment to compose herself.
When she looked up at Kieran again, her eyes were slightly red and her expression carried a hint of grievance.
Seeing Bianca like this, Kieran felt an inexplicable pain in his chest and became nervous. "Bianca, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"I'm a little scared," Bianca sobbed.
"What are you scared of?"
"That Mom and Dad won't want me anymore."
When Bianca said this, Kieran's heart broke.
He reached out and pulled Bianca into his arms, comforting her, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, that day will never come."
Even if the Taylor family really didn't want Bianca, he would.
"But after today, Dad only has eyes for her..."
Kieran's eyes darted around, and he said, "Bianca, don't worry. Isabella just knows William and Soren, that's all. I won't let her push you out. I'll find a way to drive her out of this house. Once she's gone, you'll be the only daughter in this family."
Bianca was a bit puzzled. "Kieran, what can you do?"
Kieran clenched his fist, his eyes full of confident scheming. "Bianca, just wait and see."
He would definitely make Isabella leave this house.

The next morning, Isabella left the Taylor Villa.
Today was the day Aurora was being discharged from the hospital.
After Xanthe broke Aurora's leg, she had surgery and took a long leave from school. Isabella had used William's connections to arrange for Aurora to stay in a special care ward at Emerald City's best hospital with dedicated care.
"Isabella, over here!"
From a distance, Isabella saw Violet waving at her at the hospital entrance.
Violet had been waiting at the hospital entrance. She and Isabella had agreed to pick up Aurora together.
But Violet still didn't know how Aurora got injured.
Isabella didn't want to say because she didn't want her involved in the Anderson family matter. Since Isabella didn't say, Violet didn't ask.
The two entered the elevator together.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, suddenly a hand reached out to block them.
"Dr. Parker, please come in."
The voice belonged to a middle-aged man, around forty years old.
But doctors of this age often inspired the most confidence.
Following the middle-aged man's gesture, the elevator doors opened again.
The middle-aged man stepped into the elevator first.
Following behind him was a tall, slender young man.
He wore thin-framed glasses with an indifferent expression that revealed no emotion, exuding an air of noble aloofness, with strikingly handsome features.
If he weren't also wearing a white coat, no one would believe he was a doctor—they might think he was an actor.
He and the middle-aged man in front were complete opposites.
The young man glanced at the middle-aged man beside him. "Roy, what's the situation with today's patient?"
Roy sighed. "Pancreatic tumor, needs to be removed."
The young man nodded knowingly.
The pancreas is deep in the abdominal cavity, surrounded by multiple important organs and blood vessels, so pancreatic surgery is quite complex and really tests the lead surgeon's skill. After all, one wrong move during surgery could damage other organs.
Roy glanced at the young man beside him. "Dr. Parker, this isn't just any pancreatic surgery. Part of the stomach may also need to be removed. Anyway, you'll understand once you see the patient's file. I'm afraid only you can perform this surgery."
The young man nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, the elevator reached the seventh floor.
The two doctors left.
Isabella watched the young doctor's retreating figure, curiously touching her chin.
She had seen the middle-aged doctor on the hospital's photo wall—he was a renowned specialist at this hospital.
For such a specialist to show such deference to this young doctor, who remained completely unfazed without even a modest word, just how excellent must he be?
Also, his last name seemed to be "Parker"?
The same as Soren and Lawrence.
"Isabella, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that the elevator had arrived but Isabella still hadn't moved, Violet was puzzled.
Isabella snapped back to reality. "Nothing."
It was just a chance encounter with a young doctor. Isabella didn't know why she was overthinking it.

Theodore Parker pushed open the office door. The patient's file was already neatly arranged on the desk.
He picked it up and glanced at it, then looked up at Roy. "No problem, this surgery can be done. The success rate is at least ninety-five percent. Have the patient schedule the surgery."
Roy was overjoyed. "That's wonderful, Dr. Parker. I'll go tell the patient this good news right away."
Roy happily left, closing the door behind him.
Theodore was about to take off his white coat when his phone buzzed with a message.
[Lawrence: Theodore, I heard from Soren that there seems to be a lead on Mother and our sister...]
Lawrence, who sent the message, was sitting in the Parker Group CEO's office, with Soren at the desk across from him.
Seeing this message, Theodore suddenly stood up, nearly knocking over his water glass from the abrupt movement.
He immediately called Lawrence, very nervous and excited. "What happened? What did Soren find out? Did you find Mother and our sister?"
Soren was right there, so he could hear Theodore's voice clearly.
He said directly, "I just got word that seventeen years ago, someone saw Mother at the train station in Stratford-upon-Avon."
