Chapter 104 Tm fine , but thank you .
Paisley replied with a polite smile .
Its no trouble at all .
The doctor was all eagerness , his eyes fixed on Paisley with undisguised admiration .
Oh , have you eaten ! I could order something for you .
Theres this amazing restaurant nearby .
Let me get you something from there .
Before Paisley could turn him down someone else had already shut down the young doctors offer .

Thanks , but were good .
Dominicks refusal was blunt , his eyes holding a clear warning .
He towered over the doctor , his presence downright The doctor took a couple of steps back , clearly unnerved by Dominick but still mustering up some courage .
With all due respect , Mr.
Vanderbilt .
I wasnt asking you .
I was asking Ms.
Sutton Dominicks s expression darkened .
Shes not interested either .
The doctor was about to question what right Dominick had to answer for Paisley .
But one look at Dominicks intimidating face killed that thought really quick He was just a regular doctor .
No way was he going to mess with someone who had Dominicks kind of financial power , R right , okay , he stammered before making an awkward beeline out of the room The moment the door clicked shut , Dominick turned to Paisley .
Could you maybe not flash those smiles at every guy whos obviously hitting on you ! Paisley stared at him speechless .
Dominick , youre actually insane ? She couldnt even deal with this crazy man right now .
Rolling her eyes , she leaned back and closed them , trying to get some peace and quiet Out of sight , out of mind that was the plan .
Footsteps faded away , and the hospital room fell quiet again .
A few moments passed before Dominicks voice drifted over from the window .
Paisley , can I ask when you started studying medicine ? Paisley kept her eyes closed , but she wasnt quite drifting off yet .
When she heard Dominicks question , she answered without giving it much Thought As a patients family member , it made sense that Dominick would want to know about the doctors credentials .
Three years old.
Paisley mumbled , eyes still shut , her voice heavy with fatigue Three years old ? Dominick was floored .
In his mind , three year olds were basically living dolls , completely helpless .
He couldnt even what he was doing at that age .
remember No one in their right mind would make a three year old study something like this .
But something about Paisleys tone told him she wasnt making .
this up .
Why ? Dominick suddenly realized he barely knew anything about Paisley at all Paisley said softly , I was three when my adoptive grandfather found me .
He was already in his eighties then Grandpa was completely obsessed with medicine .
He spent his whole life studying Ancient Medical Arts Never got married , never had a family or kids of his own , never passed on his knowledge .
Then he found me and took me in Just like that , I became his only successor .
But he was so old by then , there wasni snt time to teach me slowly .
So ..
Sleep was starting to pull at Paisley , and her voice grew fainter .
I had to lear his entire lifes work in just ten years … Dominicks b breath caught in his throat .
He couldnt even begin to imagine how Paisley had survived those ten years .
Paisley had started studying medicine at just three years old .
A decade later , she was barely thirteen .
And here she was , brushing off those painful years like they were nothing more than a footnote .
Why didnt you tell me any of this before ? Dominick whispered .
But all he got in response was the soft sound of Paisleys steady breathing
