Wynter had blossomed into a far more stunning woman than they had expected, one who was likely to attract attention with her charms. However, Taylor remained puzzled by Reuben's reference to Wynter as a genius doctor.
At that moment, Reuben realized something and stared at Wynter with quivering lips.
He recognized a touch of self-interest in the medical recommendations she provided. He couldn't decide whether to admire her brilliance or cunningness. Regardless, he found it impossible to stay angry with her.
Wynter was as endearing as ever. Though Reuben attempted to take a closer look at her, he couldn't bring himself to approach her due to the recent misunderstanding and the long-standing conflict between the two families.
But Wynter was the favorite child among Harmony Community's senior members. She could read the minds of the stubborn elderly, much less her blood relatives. Without hesitation, Wynter jumped over the railing and approached Reuben with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I should've told you my real identity and the reason for my visit yesterday," she apologized sincerely.
Reuben looked at her in silence, though his softened expression betrayed his feelings.
Wynter cleared her throat and continued, "However, I noticed I was being followed upon arriving at the Whitman residence, and even the staff seemed a bit off.
"Given your condition, I decided to treat you before investigating the situation. That was why I didn't reveal my identity earlier."
Her revelation sparked a commotion among the crowd.
"What does she mean? Is she saying that there's a mole within the Whitman family?" one speculated.
"That can't be. No one would dare to scheme against the Whitmans," another said skeptically.
