Home/Romance/The Duke's Diagnostic Dilemma

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
I, Livia Veszter, am a fraud. When my brilliant, celebrated twin sister - the nation's premier Mind-Mender - vanishes the night before starting the most lucrative job of her career, I'm left with a choice: let my family fall into ruin, or put on her spectacles and pretend I know what I'm doing. The patient? Duke Alarik Kiraly, the infamous 'Beast of Ocskay Keep,' a man so tormented by his past that his grief manifests as a crushing, tangible miasma of despair. He's rude, reclusive, and ridiculously handsome in that 'I wrestle bears for cardio' sort of way. My prescription of mandatory walks and cheerful conversation is met with growls and suspicion. He thinks I'm an idiot, which is fair, because I am. But as I untangle the betrayal that shattered him, the lines between my deception and my genuine feelings begin to blur. Alarik's icy walls are starting to crack, but what will happen when he discovers his trusted doctor is an imposter who can't tell a psychic affliction from a bad headache?
