Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 331
Chapter 331
“Let go of the child!” Wally exclaimed coldly. As Mackenzie’s personal driver,
he exuded an intimidating aura; he wasn’t one to be taken lightly.
Abellyn was startled, and she instinctively let go of Tommy. However, with
numerous onlookers around, she clung to her son once again as soon as she
made sense of the situation. She summoned her courage and confronted
Wally, “Who do you think you are? This is my son. It’s none of your business
how I discipline him.”
Hearing that, Wally wasted no time and acted swiftly, and Abellyn stood no
chance against him. She instantly panicked, crying out, “Help! Somebody!
There’s a child kidnapper here! He’s attempting to take my son away in front
of everyone!” The onlookers began to grow restless as they realized the
seriousness of the situation.
However, in the next moment, a chilling voice rang out. “Why don’t you ask
Tommy if he wants to go with you?” Abellyn looked up and instantly froze as
she laid eyes on Mackenzie. Mackenzie’s commanding presence always left
Abellyn defenseless. At this moment, facing Mackenzie felt like confronting a
mortal enemy, rendering Abellyn incapable of resistance.
“Mackenzie!” The moment the boy saw Mackenzie, he rushed toward her with
tears streaming down his face as if she were his savior. “Mom wants to send
me to the countryside, but I don’t want to go! I want to stay here!”
After hearing that, Mackenzie scooped up Tommy and comforted him, “Don’t
be afraid. I’m here to protect you!” Wally’s jaw dropped upon witnessing this
scene. Despite working with Mackenzie for years, he had never seen this
nurturing and gentle side of her.
“I’ll take you back now.” She gently set Tommy down and led him directly into
the Bentley, which left Abellyn utterly shocked. Who exactly is Mackenzie?
Why did she marry someone penniless like Emmanuel?
The concerned onlookers refrained from intervening after seeing how the
scene unfolded, as everyone knew who Mackenzie was. Moreover, Tommy
referred to her by her name and willingly went with her, which dispelled any
suspicions of kidnapping.
“Tommy, why did your mother forcefully try to send you away?” Mackenzie
asked concernedly after getting in the car.
“My mom is afraid that I’ll reveal the truth about my dad’s accident that was
caused by her and her lover. She even said that if I said a word about it, I’d
become an orphan, an unwanted child… Mackenzie, please save my dad. I
don’t want to be an orphan…” Tears streamed down the boy’s face as he
spoke.
Although Mackenzie disliked seeing men cry, she was sympathetic toward
children. Thus, she spoke softly, “Don’t cry. Tell me, where is your dad now?”
“He’s in Beacon Hospital!” The lady trembled slightly upon hearing the
location. Why does it have to be the hospital where that man is? But we’re not
going to the Department of Gynecology, so I’ll probably not run into him. At
least, I hope so.
“Wally, let’s go to Beacon Hospital!”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Half an hour later, Mackenzie arrived at Beacon Hospital,
and she entered the director’s office.
Juan, who was engrossed in his research, furrowed his brows upon looking
- up. However, as soon as he saw the woman before him, he quickly stood up.
“Ms. Quillen, how can I a*sist you?” His demeanor reflected genuine respect
rather than mere flattery as he was close to Terence, and he held
Mackenzie’s talent in high regard.
“Mr. Gomez, could you help treat a patient?”
Chapter 332
Mackenzie wasted no time and went straight to the point.
“Oh, which patient?” Juan furrowed his brows, thinking someone from the
Quillen family had encountered an accident. He was puzzled when the lady
mentioned Ryder’s name. While he had some knowledge about the patient’s
condition, he hadn’t had the chance to visit him due to his busy schedule. He
couldn’t help but wonder who this person was to be able to get Mackenzie to
intervene on his behalf.
However, instead of clarifying his doubts with Mackenzie, Juan nodded and
got his a*sistant to accompany them. They walked together toward Ryder’s
hospital room, and to their surprise, they found other people there who were
treating Ryder, even though it was just an ordinary ward.
“Dr. Brooks, is that you?” Juan was taken aback when he saw an old man
examining Ryder’s condition. It turned out to be Zander Brooks, a renowned
doctor in the southern region of Chanaea. Zander wasn’t professionally
trained, but he operated his own clinic, catering specifically to high–ranking
officials and wealthy individuals. He garnered a reputation through his
successful treatment of numerous influential figures. So much so that even
Juan, the director of a conventional hospital, held him in high esteem.
“Haha, Mr. Gomez, I’ve heard good things about you! A pleasure to meet you!”
Zander greeted Juan respectfully, acknowledging his position as the
hospital’s director. Both a*sistants on either side were equally surprised by
the encounter.
Initially, they thought that the man was lucky enough to have Zander come
specifically to treat him. However, they never expected to find two prominent
figures from the medical community in Yeringham to be present. If they
didn’t know any better, they would have a*sumed that the patient was a
high–ranking official or a wealthy individual.
Though, Mackenzie’s attention wasn’t on Zander but rather on Claudette, who
was also in the hospital room. Both young ladies from prominent families in
Yeringham were surprised to see each other there. However, it seemed
reasonable, considering that both of them loved Emmanuel deeply. Because
of this, each of them invited a renowned doctor to treat his cousin.
“That’s great! With so many people helping my dad, he’ll definitely wake up!”
Tommy exclaimed hopefully with a twinkle in his eyes.
“You must be Tommy, right? Emmanuel has mentioned you to me.” Claudette
hurried over while smiling gently at him. “I’ve invited Dr. Brooks to treat your
dad. He will find a way to wake him up!”
With that, she reached out to pat Tommy’s head. However, Mackenzie
forcefully pulled the boy to her side and stared coldly at Claudette. “Tommy,
having Mr. Gomez is more than enough to cure your dad!” The innocent
Tommy, who had no idea what was going on, looked on confusedly. He
couldn’t understand why the two drop–dead gorgeous women were
competing over something.
The surrounding a*sistants were even more astonished. These were the two
young ladies from the most prominent families in Yeringham, so they
couldn’t fathom why they were fighting to treat this man in the hospital bed.
It would be understandable if the man were a wealthy and handsome
bachelor, but at a glance, it was evident he was a country bumpkin. They
couldn’t help but wonder the reason behind all this.
The two prominent figures in the medical community, who were glad to meet
each other, felt somewhat awkward as they witnessed the open competition
between the two women from prominent families. They weren’t sure whether
to continue flattering each other or side with the women who brought them
there.
While Zander hesitated, Juan took the lead and spoke with a smile, “Dr.
Brooks, have you found a solution? Can we discuss it together?“. As the
director of the hospital, he held noble medical ethics, and since he had
come, he intended to help the patient who had been unconscious for several
days to regain consciousness.
“Well, I haven’t found a solution yet. It would be best if both of us discuss it
together. If we can brainstorm, that would be great!” Zander extended an
invitation, considering it was Juan’s territory. Despite having some pride,
Zander still had to show respect to Juan.
Chapter 333
As time pa*sed, both Mackenzie and Claudette grew restless, as time was
precious to them; it was especially so for Mackenzie. She had come to save
Ryder because of Tommy, but never had she expected to waste so much
time there! Furthermore, the two renowned doctors had been consulting for
so long, only to end up shaking their heads at each other.
“Mr. Gomez, you should give up. Even you won’t be able to treat this patient!”
an a*sistant behind them couldn’t help but persuade. Everyone nodded upon
hearing that, as although Juan and Zander were indeed renowned doctors,
they weren’t gods!
The patient had suffered a severe brain injury for nearly a week and showed
no signs of waking up. It was doubtful that even gods could save him! Juan
understood this as well, but since Mackenzie had asked him to treat the
person, he couldn’t easily give up. Not only was his own reputation at stake,
but the hospital’s reputation was also at stake!
Zander, who was initially nervous, now felt somewhat relieved. If he alone
said that he couldn’t save the patient, he feared that his medical skills would
be criticized as being mediocre. However, now that he and Juan couldn’t
save the patient, this proved that it wasn’t a problem with their medical
expertise. Just then, there was a commotion outside.
“Hey, who are you? We’re in the middle of a consultation, and no
unauthorized personnel are allowed in!”
“I am the patient’s relative. Please let me in!”
“No, you can’t!” There was a dispute between the two sides, but eventually,
the person managed to break in.
Everyone immediately turned their heads and saw a tall man forcefully
entering the ward while disregarding the attempts to stop him. When
Mackenzie and Claudette saw the man’s face, they trembled as they were
taken aback. However, their expressions were completely different. One of
them trembled slightly and deliberately put on a cold look, while the other
trembled slightly, unable to hide her excitement. It was because the person
who had arrived was Emmanuel!
“Hey, you can’t visit the ward today! Leave immediately!”
”
The two a*sistants wanted to drive Emmanuel away, but then they heard
Claudette say, “He is the patient’s younger brother. Let him stay.” Hearing
that, the a*sistants stopped in their tracks.
“Emmanuel, what are you doing here?” Juan recognized him as a
gynecologist from their hospital and couldn’t help but wonder. He knew
Emmanuel was skilled in medicine and had initially wanted to persuade him
to work in the emergency department or the ICU, but Emmanuel insisted on
choosing gynecology. Everyone had their own aspirations, so Juan didn’t
force him.
However, today, he couldn’t help but have a strange anticipation when he
saw Emmanuel forcefully entering despite the obstacles. Could he be here to
save his relative?
“Mr. Gomez, I’m here today to treat my cousin. Please let me treat him,”
Emmanuel stated his intention directly.

The crowd in the ward was surprised upon hearing that, and they exchanged
glances with each other. Mackenzie was taken aback and wondered whether
his medical skill was even better than that of Juan and Zander. On the other
hand, Claudette was surprised, but her eyes sparkled with excitement as if
she was a fan girl waiting to see her idol perform!
Before Juan could respond, Emmanuel had walked toward Ryder’s bed and
reached out to press the acupuncture points on his cousin’s body.
“Hey, what are you doing? You’re touching the patient without permission. Are
you going take responsibility if something goes wrong?” the a*sistant
exclaimed, trying to stop him.
Emmanuel felt helpless upon hearing that, and he didn’t understand why so
many people were at the ward today, which hindered his plans.
“Don’t be so arrogant and make a fool of yourself!”
“That’s right! Mr. Gomez and Dr. Brooks are treating the patient. This is no
place for you to show off! Get out!” A group of a*sistants wanted to drive
Emmanuel away.
Claudette wanted to help Emmanuel, but then she heard someone call out,
“Stop!”
It was Juan.
Mackenzie, who was about to speak, chose to keep quiet upon hearing that.
The a*sistants immediately took the opportunity and shouted at Emmanuel,
“Can’t you hear? Mr. Gomez told you to stop!”
Chapter 334
“How dare you defy Mr. Gomez’s orders?”
“I’m asking all of you to stop!” Juan spoke again, his voice cold and
commanding.
What?! The a*sistants were deeply embarra*sed as they stood there
awkwardly. At that sight, Mackenzie couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Likewise, Claudette found the situation funny. Juan disregarded the
a*sistants and nodded, giving Emmanuel permission to continue. He
understood Emmanuel well enough to trust that he wasn’t acting recklessly
earlier. Instead, he was using professional acupressure techniques to help
the patient regain consciousness.
“Thank you, Mr. Gomez!” Emmanuel thanked him before retrieving the silver
needles.
The crowd was astonished upon seeing that, whereas Mackenzie and
Claudette’s eyes lit up. They weren’t surprised that Emmanuel possessed
Chapter 334 A Miracle
knowledge about acupuncture, and he had treated Claudette using
acupuncture before. However, they didn’t expect him to solve the problem
that even two esteemed doctors couldn’t resolve through acupuncture.

Juan’s asked in astonishment, “Emmanuel, are you suggesting that you can
stimulate his brain’s nerves and cells with acupuncture?” After years of
studying medicine, he was well aware that traditional medicine could
achieve remarkable results unattainable by modern medicine. However,
stimulating the brain’s nerves and cells with acupuncture was something
even he, as an experienced doctor, couldn’t accomplish–or rather, wouldn’t
dare attempt. Given the brain’s complexity, any slight mistake was potentially
fatal.
How can a young man like Emmanuel acquire such profound medical skills?
Also, what makes him so confident? The a*sistants, who lacked Juan’s
breadth of vision and understanding, sneered at Emmanuel secretly upon
witnessing his intention to save the patient using acupuncture.
“Is he out of his mind by attempting to treat a neurological issue with
acupuncture?”
“We should record a video just in case the patient dies. We can’t be held
responsible for this!”
“Yes, we can’t be a*sociated with this!” Hearing that, Claudette had the urge
to shout at them to remain silent.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie’s gaze was fixed on the ultra–focused Emmanuel. She
found herself drawn to him. Emmanuel paid no attention to the noise around
him, and his hands moved with precision as he inserted the two silver
needles into his cousin’s brain acupuncture points. His technique was swift
and accurate. Zander appeared slightly surprised, whereas Juan stood in
awe. Meanwhile, the a*sistants fell silent.
Anyone with a background in traditional medicine would be put to shame as
they had dedicated years to their practice, yet their skills paled in
comparison to those of a gynecologist! However, this was only the beginning.
Emmanuel continued to skillfully insert the needles, adjusting their depth and
positions seamlessly. Claudette was so captivated that she hurriedly took out
her phone to record a video so that she could watch this footage countless
times over!

On the other hand, Mackenzie didn’t know what to feel as she pondered how
her ex–husband possessed such talent. She couldn’t help but think that she
might have been too impulsive previously. Sometime later, a miracle
happened. Emmanuel called out to Ryder, who had remained motionless on
the bed for a week, and his body responded.
“This… this…” Everyone was lost for words.
“Ryder, it’s me, Manny. You need to wake up now, do you hear me?” As soon
as Ryder heard Emmanuel’s words, he trembled before finally opening his
eyes. The scene was not only shocking but also somewhat horrifying. If word,
of this got out, its impact would be staggering. This news was appalling!
“Amazing! Truly amazing! I’ve studied medicine for decades, and I’ve never
witnessed such profound acupuncture skills!” Juan exclaimed on the spot, his
admiration overflowing.
“This… This is beyond imagination!”
“It’s simply a miracle!” The a*sistants were taken aback as they set aside
their previous prejudice. Emmanuel’s medical skills had impressed Juan to
such an extent that if word got out, it would not only astonish the entire
hospital but also send shockwaves through the medical community in
Yeringham! Claudette’s infatuation with Emmanuel grew even stronger as
she couldn’t help but think that he must have weathered numerous storms
and trials to such possess remarkable abilities.
Chapter 335
“That’s great! The patient’s consciousness has been restored, and he’s on the
path to a complete recovery,” Juan explained his diagnosis to Mackenzie
after examining the patient. However, Mackenzie’s gaze was fixated on
Emmanuel as she looked at him with astonishment. Everyone present was
impressed by Emmanuel’s expertise.
Even so, Emmanuel didn’t seem prideful at all, he only wanted to save his
cousin without flaunting his medical abilities Moreover, his master in the
Northern Region had warned him against publicizing his medical technique,
as its drawbacks outweighed the benefits in the long run. As such, Emmanuel
chose to become a gynecologist upon retiring and returning to Yeringham to
avoid attention. If it weren’t for saving his cousin, he wouldn’t have used this
ancient medical method.
“Dr. Lowe, I never expected to have a master like you in our hospital!” Juan
exclaimed with excitement while gripping Emmanuel’s hand tightly. “Can you
teach me this acupuncture technique? I’m willing to become your disciple!”
“What?!” The group of a*sistants behind him gasped in disbelief Juan was a
highly respected senior doctor in Yeringham, yet he wanted to become
Emmanuel’s disciple. If Juan truly became the unknown gynecologist’s
disciple, wouldn’t they, his current disciples, become Emmanuel’s disciples
too? This was unacceptable!
Only Claudette believed that Juan genuinely wanted to learn and that
becoming Emmanuel’s disciple was the right choice. Unfortunately,
Emmanuel had no intention of drawing attention to himself or accepting
such a proposal. He politely responded, “Mr. Gomez, how can I have the
qualifications to be your master? If we have the opportunity, we can certainly
study and research medical techniques together!”
“It’s settled, then! Haha…” Juan exclaimed joyfully. He never harbored
ridiculous thoughts as his disciples did. When it came to medicine, his master
taught him that learning was boundless. One could learn from anyone,
regardless of age.
“Dr. Lowe, you have worked hard! You are truly amazing!” Claudette
approached with genuine admiration and wiped the sweat off Emmanuel’s
brow with a handkerchief while behaving like an infatuated fan girl. Seeing
that, Emmanuel quickly glanced toward Mackenzie.
However, Mackenzie snorted coldly and turned to leave. “Mackenzie!”
Emmanuel didn’t think twice and hurriedly chased after her.
Noticing this, those present were taken aback by the scene. They wondered
when she wiped my sweat? When she was in danger, should I have ignored
the same?”

clenched his fists tightly as he looked at her cold and heartless gaze.

Emmanuel walked away, Mackenzie also felt a sudden stab of pain in her
heart. She had deceived herself all along, convincing herself that seeking
Juan’s help to save Ryder was solely for Tommy’s sake. Deep down, she now
realized it was also for Emmanuel. Is this painful feeling what they call love?
Mackenzie wanted to say something to stop Emmanuel from leaving since
she hadn’t actually intended to divorce him or deny him any chance at all.
She had been waiting for him to apologize and sever ties with Claudette,
this manner. However, before she could utter a word, she saw Claudette

“Tommy, you’ve finally returned!” Abellyn exclaimed upon seeing Emmanuel
bring Tommy back, and she wanted to rush over and get her son back. Ryder,
whose mobility was still limited, slowly entered the house behind them.
As soon as Abellyn noticed Ryder, she stopped in her tracks and was aghast
to see him. After a moment of silence, she trembled and stammered,
“Abellyn, is it your son who has returned?” Chloe and her son, Robby, walked
out of the house, both dressed casually as if they lived there.
Upon seeing Ryder returning in one piece, Chloe was taken aback and didn’t
feel well. She already had a plan in mind. First, she would continue to get
the property upon his death!
Now that Ryder had regained consciousness, it was a disastrous situation for
