Jake Lee slid from the couch to the floor. He sat on his knees and cried out, "I-I don't know her name, she sent me a picture of that lady and told me that the lady doesn't remember her past and living with a new name. I just have to identify her as my girlfriend and take her away from the hospital."
Karsen and Jordan understood it's a woman and waited to see if he spoke more about it but Jake's jaws were quivering and he was on the verge of tears.
Karsen asked after a few seconds of silence, "How did you know my daughter-in-law is here in the hospital right now?"
Aarvi doesn't go to the hospital daily with Aaron and tracking her location is next to impossible and Jordan's assistant failed numerous times to do it.
Karsen never bothered to check on her but he is aware she isn't just a girl to spend Aaron's money, even if she did, he didn't actually care about it. According to his evaluation, She might be working at Skylar with Dax without naming the position.
'Daughter-in-law!' Jordan gaped at his son for fluently addressing Aarvi as the daughter-in-law of the Rivas family. He couldn't believe his family is sure he is going to accept Aarvi sooner or later when he isn't sure of himself.
However, he didn't show it on his face and pushed the thought behind to focus on current matters.
Jake blurted out and sold off his employer to escape from them, "She is a doctor. I can identify seeing her."
Karsen and Jordan's back stiffened and their faces darkened with an ugly frown. They knew Jake wasn't lying and he was too scared hence he was protecting his skin.
They didn't like that a doctor from their hospital is aiming to get rid of Aarvi and they didn't want a word to explain their main reason. They wanted to get rid of her for Aaron.
Karsen looked at one of the security guards who bowed to him accepting the silent order and quickly went out to carry it out.
Jordan was thinking if Aarvi's safety is so much risk inside their premises, how she could protect herself outside. But the thought of her unrevealed movements and Aaron, strangely put his heart at ease.
The senior doctors weren't summoned to respect their time and services so after confirming it's a young doctor from Jake Lee, all the young doctors aged less than 35 were given a call.
It took fifteen minutes for all the lady doctors from all the departments to reach outside the waiting room. They started chattering between themselves without understanding why only young female doctors were summoned by the dean.
Some wildly guessed it could be because they wanted to choose a bride for Aaron. Since the Rivas family sons married doctors, they were expecting the younger generation to marry a doctor too.
It would be a lie if many of them weren't expecting to become a bride of Aaron or Shawn They looked enviously at Naomi who was standing with her pride high, just like every time.
A doctor, "Doctor Fisher, you know why we are here, don't you? You sure are making us green with envy."
Naomi chuckled shyly hiding her nervousness and responded, "You guys are overthinking. Nobody selects a bride this way." She shrugged off yet managed to look modest to keep their attention on her.
"Aish, are you saying, you are the bride hence it's not required?" Another doctor teased her.
A cold voice of a female mocked, "Why do you guys think Doctor Rivas will leave his girlfriend for a doctor here?" She smirked at Naomi. She meant 'girlfriend' is the lady who is close to Aaron and Shawn, whereas 'a doctor' is Naomi.
Naomi forced a smile at the neurologist cursing her in her mind.
Anyhow the crowd took it in their own way, "We mere little doctors can't compete against Doctor Fisher." Many chuckled at her comment.
"Doctor Fisher, why are you so low profile? You should publicize your relationship with Doctor Rivas." Another envious voice sounded.
The neurologist rolled her eyes and checked the time on her wristwatch before putting a request to the Karsen's assistant who was busy over his mobile, "Excuse me, may I know how long it will take? I have appointments to attend so make it quick please."
The assistant faintly smiled at the neurologist in her early thirties as he responded, "Doctor Wells, having a small break between work is fun. Don't you love your work too much?" He shook his head helplessly and added, "Two minutes please, you can leave after it."
The neurologist faintly nodded before stepping back and stood in irritation hearing everyone sing praises for Naomi when the reality is totally different. She is waiting when Naomi's real relationship with the Rivas family discloses and Naomi stops using Aaron's name to grab attention and get the work done.
All those doctors missed to notice the anxious smile of a doctor who wanted to flee but the administration department employee was checking the presence of each lady doctor.
Karsen and Jordan were inside when a security guard took Jake outside.
There were many beautiful faces of doctors but he wasn't in a state to enjoy his sight. He looked at many doctors before going towards Naomi.
All the doctors were confused looking at the man but they stayed quiet to know what was going on.
In no time, Jake finally pointed to a doctor and turned to the security.
The rest of the doctors started to whisper with each other trying to guess what it could be but they were sure it wasn't because they needed a bride.
A doctor asked Naomi, "Doctor Fisher, she works in your department, right? What did she do?"
Naomi shook her head in response while her lips slyly arced up. 'Do I look like a fool?' Naomi scoffed. Bringing a scapegoat isn't difficult for her.
Naomi just wanted to confirm if Aarvi remembers her past or not. She had expected it could get serious but she hadn't expected three men to be around at the same time.
Now she is sure Aarvi is aware of her birth identity and remembers everyone from her past. She isn't speaking it out to live in a new name or Probably to live with Aaron.
Just because she only knows Jordan doesn't know Aarvi's birth identity, how did she assume others also don't know?
How did she think Shawn addresses Aarvi as Little Heart because she has Ariel Rivas's heart?
How could she think Megan Rivas addresses Aarvi as GiggleMug because she hardly smiles?
Why will Karsen and Connor treat Aarvi as a daughter just because an organ in Aarvi belongs to the Rivas family member?
How Pathetic of her!
Naomi's eyes laid on the quivering doctor as they heard Karsen's assistant apologize.
"I regret the inconvenience caused and thank you for taking your time to be here. Please continue with your work." His hand pointed towards the exit from there while the security took the doctor and Jake inside the waiting room.
Once the assistant entered inside, he quickly briefed the basic information of the doctor, "Elder Rivas, Chairman Rivas, the doctor's name is Ruby Brown, she is an intern doctor working in the Cardiology department."
Jordan is aware she wasn't an intern under Aaron but works in the cardiology department hence she gets to see him frequently. Hence it's believable because she could try to get rid of Aarvi to get the attention of Aaron.
Karsen asked, "Why did you hire him?" His chin pointed to Jake Lee.
The doctor nervously looked at the two men and she is aware she will lose her whole career but she had no choice. She accepted her fate and responded determinedly, "Because I don't like her." Her voice sounded clear and crisp.
Karsen and Jordan: "..."
It was hard for them to believe she gave in so easily without any drama or the need of any threat.

In Aaron's office,
After the catnap, Aarvi was admiring Aaron through her sleepy eyes when she heard a knock on the door before Milo Wen entered inside, "President Rivas, Chairman Rivas asked if you would like to handle the doctor behind Jake Lee."
Aarvi suddenly sat up and asked, "Who is she?" She just wanted to confirm hearing the name Naomi Fisher instead of punishing her.
Aaron knew she was awake so he didn't react to her abrupt movements while Milo Wen had to take a few seconds to absorb Aarvi was awake and heard him, "Ms. Evans, it's Doctor Brown. Ruby Brown. Elder Rivas is thinking of reporting to the dean of her medical school."
Aarvi frowned while Aaron was ready to dismiss Milo Wen saying Jordan can handle her as he likes. Aarvi wore her shoes as she responded to Milo Wen, "I will meet Elder Rivas. Please carry on your work."
Milo Wen bowed his head after glancing at Aaron. The latter was gazing at her while Milo Wen exited the room, "Aarvi, you don't have to worry so much." The lady doctor wasn't such a big threat to be worried so much.
Waving her hand, Aarvi quickly ran out saying, "I will be back soon."
---
As soon as Aarvi entered the waiting room, "I am sorry to interrupt, please don't take action on her."
Jordan frowned and Karsen hung up the call after asking for a minute. "Aarvi, what's wrong?"
Aarvi looked at Jake and ordered, "Get out."
Jake tried to scurry away but Jordan glared at the guard to hold him down and stood up disliking her way. His voice was hoarse and grave at Aarvi, "What do you mean by your actions?"
Karsen anxiously stood up but failed to cut in and Aarvi responded in aloofness without warmness, "I am saving the victim from you."
Her words were raw which enraged Jordan for entitling him as an attacker.
