Luana quickly raised her hand to stop his action.
With a calm expression, she said, "I have a heart condition. It's just a sudden attack this time, nothing serious. No need to check."
She knew in her heart that her condition couldn't be hidden from a professional doctor, so she chose to tell the truth.
However, the reason she didn't let Gath conduct a detailed diagnosis was that she was afraid that if Calvert found out about the severity of her heart failure, he would do something cruel to her again.
She hadn't had the chance to say goodbye to Clarissa properly, and she really couldn't accept dying without understanding what was happening.
As an experienced doctor, Gath could see through whether a patient was hiding their condition with just one glance.
He subtly glanced at Luana's legs and noticed that her lower limbs had already shown obvious swelling, which is one of the typical symptoms of late-stage heart failure.
This woman in front of him looked to be only in her late twenties, and it was really regrettable that she was suffering from heart failure at such a young age.
However, since the patient clearly stated that she did not want to be examined, he would not force the check-up.
So, Gath put away the stethoscope and turned to look at Calvert.
He jokingly said, "Cal, did you do something bad to this girl? Otherwise, why doesn't she even let me do the check-up?"
Gath did not expose Luana's lie on the spot, but instead cleverly chose to help her hide her condition, which instantly improved Luana's impression of him.
When Gath was examining her legs just now, she clearly noticed that he had already realized something, but he did not make a fuss and chose to protect her privacy.
It seemed that this doctor still had professional ethics and integrity, and Luana's originally tense nerves relaxed a bit.
At that moment, however, Calvert seemed to be lost in some kind of contemplation, still immersed in the word "heart disease" that Luana had spoken.
For some reason, he seemed to have an innate sensitivity to this word. As soon as he heard it, he would feel a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing his furrowed brows and gloomy expression, Gath walked up, covered his mouth with his hand, and gossiped in his ear, "Who is she exactly?"
"Just a friend."
Calvert was pulled back to reality by his voice, and after a brief daze, he turned his head to look at Luana and answered in a gentle voice.
"Just a friend?"
Gath looked at him skeptically, obviously not believing his answer.
In his impression, there were always few female friends around Calvert, so how did this so-called "friend" suddenly appear when he just came to Los Angeles?
"It's done here. You can go back."
Calvert impatiently glared at him, not wanting to waste any more words, and directly waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
"Use me and then throw me aside. How ruthless!"
Although Gath kept complaining, he still picked up his medical bag and headed towards the door.
When he got to the door, he seemed to remember something suddenly, turned his head and took another look inside the room.
He saw Calvert with his hands casually in his pockets, standing quietly by the bed, staring intently at Luana on the bed, his face full of worry.
Seeing this, Gath quickly took out his phone from his pocket and snapped a picture of the scene.
Then, he sent the photo to their friends and attached a message, 'Cal has a woman now.'
As soon as this message was sent, everyone started asking about Calvert.
There were also a few mischievous and unreliable friends who even posted this photo on their private Twitter.
These rich young masters more or less had some intersections in their social circles, and the photo and message quickly spread among them.
Before long, it reached Gehrmann's hands.
When Gehrmann saw that the woman lying in the bed in the photo was Luana, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
In his view, Travis had just fallen, and Luana turned to get close to Calvert so quickly, which was really too fast and unbelievable.
Before, because of Luana's refusal to accept the umbrella he offered, Gehrmann's impression of her had improved.
However, at this moment, after seeing this photo, he felt that this woman's mind was too complicated.
After a moment of thought, he decided to forward this photo to Cline.
After all, Calvert was his sister's predetermined marriage object, and how could a woman like Luana easily climb up?
Moreover, it was not convenient to personally deal with this woman who once had a connection with Cline for him.
Therefore, leaving this matter to Cline to handle was undoubtedly the best choice.
At this moment, Cline, who had just returned to the villa, suddenly became gloomy when he saw this photo on his phone.
He quickly replied, "When was this photo taken?"
Gehrmann quickly replied, "Just now, this photo has gone viral."
Cline did not continue to reply to the message, but his hand holding the phone was trembling.
