Chapter 249
Time flew by, and before they knew it, a while had passed.
Alicia had already joined the crew for filming.
That day, after finishing her scenes, Alicia and Landon asked for leave and returned to Irisport.
As they made their way through the airport’s underground parking lot, they were almost at the spot they’d agreed to meet.
They spotted Jason, dressed in a light gray trench coat, tall and impossibly handsome, leaning casually against the car door.
‘The legend is back on his feet, and he’s got that vibe again, Alicia thought to herself.
Her eyes shone with amusement as she walked over. “Mr. Farrell, you look amazing today!”
Jason let out a low chuckle. “All thanks to Dr. Delaney.”
He opened the car door for her. “Get in.”
After Alicia got in, he closed the door, walked around to the other side, and slid into the seat next to her, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
The driver started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
Alicia took off her hat and mask. “Did you tell anyone you can walk again?”
Jason replied, “Not yet. I even made a show of using the wheelchair when I went out today.
“The Campbell family is hosting a party the day after tomorrow. I’m planning to walk right
in.”
Alicia grinned. “Will the Farrell family be there?”
Jason nodded. “Yeah, I’m going to give them a real surprise.”
He asked, “Are you in a rush to get back? If not, want to be my plus one?”
Alicia said, “Sure, I’ll have Landon shoot the other scenes first.”
She’d rushed back this time not just to check on Jason, now able to walk again, but also to finally meet the miracle doctor who had just appeared.
In the past few days, Jett managed to get in touch with him, and he even came to Irisport.

Chapter 217
She asked, “Did the miracle doctor go to see Nicolas?”
Jason replied, “Yeah, he did. He said he could cure Nicolas.”
Alicia raised an eyebrow. “That simple?”
The side effects from that drug Nicolas took aren’t so easy to cure.
Unless the miracle doctor had been holding something back all along.
But she doubted the doctor would just help Nicolas out of kindness.
Jason chuckled. “The miracle doctor said since Nicolas ended up taking his prescription, it was destiny. So he made a request before agreeing to treat him.”
Alicia asked, “Let me guess, he wants Nicolas to marry Nicole?”
Jason gave her an appreciative look. “Smart. That’s exactly what he asked for.”
Alicia couldn’t help but ask, “So, did Nicolas agree?”
From what she knew about him, Nicolas never let anyone push him around.
Sure enough, Jason said, “No, he didn’t.
“Nicolas said even if he ends up with no kids, there’s no way he’d ever marry Nicole-the one who set him up.
“The miracle doctor just walked out.
“The Moore family wouldn’t budge, so now it’s at a stalemate.”
Even though Alicia wasn’t a fan of Nicolas, she had to admit, he really stood his ground on
this.
If she were in his shoes, she wouldn’t let anyone strong-arm her into marrying someone who’d screwed her over, either.
Jason added, “Oh, and by the way, Caleb didn’t cast Nicole as the female lead in his new show.
“Nicole went running to Leo, bawling her eyes out, so he called Caleb in for a lecture.
“Leo even pulled out his own money to personally invest in the show, but only if Nicole gets the lead role.”
Alicia let out a soft laugh. “Looks like a lot went down while I was off filming.”
She’d been shooting desert scenes lately, working nonstop with terrible cell service, so she hadn’t had much chance to keep in touch with Jason and the others.

Chapter 247
“Guess Leo is still totally wrapped around his precious stepdaughter’s finger,” she said.
Her former father had tried to get her to visit him in the hospital through his assistant before, but she just ignored it.
Thinking of that, she asked, “Did Nicole ask that miracle doctor to treat my ex-dad?”
Jason looked surprised. “Wow, you really saw that coming, Alicia!”
Alicia chuckled. “Looks like his insomnia finally cleared up.”
No wonder he’s always lecturing his son and bending over backwards for his stepdaughter.
“But do you really think that miracle doctor’s just helping him out of kindness?” she asked.
She had her doubts about that.
Jason said, “He doesn’t know any of that. He still trusts Nicole and her mom, so of course he let the miracle doctor treat him without a second thought.
“As for whether the doctor’s got any bad intentions, who knows.
