Chapter 252
He hesitated, not sure if he should really go.
Nicolas just smiled at him. “If the miracle doctor can help, you should go tomorrow.”
He didn’t want to get his buddy mixed up in his own drama with the miracle doctor.
Maxwell nodded, giving in. “Alright, I’ll go see the miracle doctor tomorrow.”
He figured he might as well use this chance to get a read on the miracle doctor and see if there was anything-besides marrying Nicole-that could convince him to help out Nicolas.
Maxwell just couldn’t figure out what was up with this miracle doctor. He kept saying he had a good feeling about Nicole, and he was always publicly backing her up.
And now he was even trying to push Nicolas into marrying Nicole? That was totally out of left field.
Alicia gave Jason a quick nod, basically telling him to keep mingling with the business bigwigs while she slipped away for a bit.
She wandered off to a quiet corner, making it look like she was just chilling, but really, she was keeping tabs on her former father and the miracle doctor.
Jason had given her a heads up-the miracle doctor was here too, hanging around near Nicole.
She glanced over at her former father. He looked alert and lively, but his complexion was almost unnaturally rosy-like something wasn’t quite right.
It seemed the miracle doctor had cured his insomnia, but now he’d developed a dependency on certain meds prescribed by the doctor.
As long as he kept taking them, his energy and complexion would stay normal, and he’d sleep soundly every night.
But if he ever stopped, the side effects would hit him hard.
She cast another glance at the miracle doctor.
Even though it was nighttime, the place was lit up bright as day.
The miracle doctor looked to be in his thirties, with such an ordinary face that you’d never pick him out of a crowd.

But Alicia could tell he’d used some kind of medicinal ointment to alter and hide his real
appearance.
Plus, when he looked at Nicole, his eyes were gentle, almost soft.
That just confirmed what Alicia had suspected all along.
Just then, the miracle doctor suddenly shot her a look, his eyes sharp as a blade.
Alicia didn’t flinch. She met his gaze head-on, her eyes just as sharp and steady.
That made the miracle doctor hesitate for a second, then he was the one who looked away
first.
Halfway through the party, Alicia headed to the restroom.

When she came out, she spotted Nicolas standing nearby, smoking a cigarette. He looked like he was waiting for someone.
As soon as he saw her, Nicolas stubbed out his cigarette and walked over. “Ally, got a minute?”
Alicia nodded and followed him out to a balcony.
Nicolas was the first to speak. “Guess you’ve heard about my situation, huh?”
Alicia nodded. “Yeah, I heard.”
Nicolas said firmly, “I’m not marrying Nicole. No way.”
Alicia smirked at him. “And what’s that got to do with me?
“If that’s all you wanted to say, I’m leaving.”
She knew Nicolas-he wouldn’t have waited for her just to bring that up. He was definitely up to something else.
Nicolas felt a bitter pang in his chest. ‘She really doesn’t care about me at all anymore,’ he thought.
He lowered his voice and warned, “I think there’s something weird going on between the miracle doctor and Nicole. Just watch out.”
Alicia realized he was actually pretty perceptive. “Something weird between them?” she
asked.
Nicolas nodded. “Yeah, the miracle doctor seems way too protective of Nicole.
“And Nicole’s been pretty hostile toward you. I’m just worried the miracle doctor might try to cause you trouble.”

Alicia just smirked. “Honestly, I’d be disappointed if he didn’t try to mess with me.”
‘If he doesn’t stir up some drama, how am I supposed to catch him slipping?’ she thought.
And if her suspicions were right, there was no way he’d let her off the hook.
Nicolas looked worried. “Anyway, you really need to watch out. That miracle doctor isn’t easy to deal with.”
Lately, the Moore family had tried all kinds of ways, but nothing could get that miracle doctor to compromise.
He’d healed a bunch of big names, and with those powerful people supporting him, the Moore family couldn’t do a thing about him right now.
But Nicolas was dead set on not backing down either.
Alicia paused, thinking it over. “Since you gave me a heads-up, let me give you a suggestion.
“Your mom should have the evidence that Nicole drugged you, right?
“You could make the miracle doctor choose-either send Nicole to jail, or have him help you out. See which one he goes for.”
Honestly, the only reason she came out here with Nicolas was to plant that idea in his head.
She just wanted to stir up some trouble for Nicole and the miracle doctor first.
