Zara sighed deeply, amazed that two exceptional men were at odds over a woman. It really was true that love could bring down even the greatest of men.

"If it's about a woman, why not compete for her fairly? Jaden, you know how exceptional you are. Why resort to such extreme measures?" Zara suggested.

Zara knew better than to try talking Jaden out of pursuing the woman entirely. After all their years of friendship, she understood how important this woman was to him and his mentor.

Jaden frowned, clearly annoyed. "Zara, given our relationship, how can you take Felix's side? I'm really disappointed in you!"

Zara reasoned, "Then you should know exactly what kind of person I am! You've seen Felix's medical skills. Do you really think he's as simple as he appears? Look, he's agreed to let bygones be bygones and won't cause you any trouble. Just stay calm and use your natural talents to win her over properly."

Given their sibling-like relationship, Jaden had always respected Zara.
