Turning to Mitchel, she continued, "And this is Holden Fredrick. He is also... Theodore Anderson."

Mitchel, unfazed by the introduction, simply nodded and offered Holden a polite smile, saying, "I'm glad to see you're still alive."

Holden, hiding his irritation, responded with a broad smile. "I've heard you've been looking after Ariana and Melon well. Thank you for that."

Seeking to shift the conversation, he mentioned, “I've heard about the Jovanni family's recent venture into medical equipment. If there's any way I can assist, please let me know. Your dedication over the years is truly appreciated, Dr. Chadwick."
