Chapter 36 Can’t Read This Man
Byron just glanced at her. He then clutched her wrist and turned sideways to look at Andrea coldly. "Apologize."Suddenly hearing Byron say that, Andrea was instantly dumbfounded. "Byron, what are you talking about?"Byron looked at her commandingly with a full sense of oppression. "Old Man Quirke is in critical condition now. If there’s someone else who can save him, that person would long have appeared when you invited famous doctors locally and abroad. But that’s not the case."Taking in his imposing manner, Andrea lowered her head with inexplicable nervousness."She..."Byron paused, glancing vaguely at the people behind him. He continued, "Miss Jacobs is not related to the Quirke family and came specifically to treat Old Man Quirke. If you can’t trust her, fine. But there is no reason to lay a hand on her. Is this what the Quirke family taught you? Apologize to her immediately!"Seeing this scene, Andrius was also a little stupefied. He could not believe his eyes.Were his
Chapter 37 Getting Close For The First Time
This time, without being disturbed by anyone, Rosalie went through the treatment process much more smoothly.Soon, there were 10 silver needles inserted in the front of the old master’s head.Rosalie practically did not blink during the process as she devoted herself to the old master’s treatment intently.Byron had already looked through Rosalie’s experience from these past years back when they were downstairs. It was beautifully impeccable. One could imagine how exciting her life had been in the past six years.This was still, however, the first time that he saw her like this.For the first time, he saw her concentration when she was practicing medicine and her toughness when addressing her profession.These were not things he had seen on Rosalie before. Seeing these today, Byron’s emotions were somewhat difficult to put into words.To one side, Andrius had been observing the positions of Rosalie's needles as well as her expression when she put them in.With the dozens of s
Chapter 38 This Woman Was Married?
Rosalie could not help but be slightly startled. After a moment, she looked at Byron with some apprehension.She did not confess about the time Estie had gone missing back then.However, she likely could not hide from this man. Thinking of this, Rosalie said hesitantly, "It's probably because… I’ve helped her before. I picked her up when she got lost the last time."Andrius had not expected this. He looked at Estie, then at Rosalie. He lamented, "You two sure are destined."Were they?Thinking of Estie’s identity, Rosalie’s lower lip tugged with self-mockery before she looked up with a calm expression again. “Perhaps."Andrius did not notice the abnormality from her either as he got up and suggested, "Since my grandpa needs another hour, why don't we wait downstairs and have some drinks? You’ve worked hard, Dr. Jacobs."Seeing that he changed the topic, Rosalie was inexplicably relieved and agreed noncommittally.Answering through action, Byron immediately rounded the back of
Chapter 39 Their Relationship Is Unusual
Rosalie left the room. Lowering her voice carefully, she said to the two little ones on the other end, "Be good. Mommy is still treating a patient and will go back a little later. You can play with your godmother first."The two were already used to their mommy coming home late because of work, so they agreed to what she said obediently.Meanwhile, in the room.The expression on Byron’s face was so cold it was practically freezing over, but anger surged in his heart.Estie’s empty hand and the yell of ‘Mommy’ that came from the phone appeared in his mind repeatedly.No wonder she had been so cold when she saw Estie.It turned out that this woman was already married and even had children with another man!That was why she abandoned the child all those years!He looked down at his daughter who was still standing there.The little girl could not hide the look of loss on her face. When she saw the woman head out, she still looked up and stared at the door longingly, waiting for he
Chapter 40 Never Wanted To Meet Her
When Byron saw this, his expression became even more sullen. "What do you have to say to her? It's best to pretend that you don't know her and not have any contact with her when you meet her in the future."Since the woman had no intentions of acknowledging her daughter, he simply was doing what she wanted!Estie got frightened by her daddy's tone. She was stunned for a few seconds before she reluctantly frowned and wrote in her little notebook: [Why?]Without waiting for Byron to answer, she quickly added: [I like the lady very much. She’s very kind and gentle to me. I want to be with her!]The little girl's straightforward liking distressed Byron, but she had to face the truth. With a blank expression, he said, "That's because she already has her own children. She doesn't need another child."Hearing this, Estie's eyes were filled with confusion.She knew about the two brothers, but the beautiful lady still treated her very well. Her daddy, however, seemed to hate her. Seei
Chapter 41 Leaving Without A Chat?
The process of taking out the needles was much simpler compared to putting them in.10 minutes later, all the needles on the old master's body had been removed.Rosalie simply checked his pulse for a bit before calmly beginning to pack up her tools.Andrius and Andrea stood beside the sickbed, feeling very uneasy.They had found so many famous doctors before and it had all been in vain. They wondered if their grandfather would wake up this time…The slight curling of Old Master Quirke's fingers registered in their eager gazes.In the next second, the old master slowly opened his eyes. He frowned and coughed weakly."Grandpa!"Andrius hurriedly sat down to help the old master. There was shock but also delight in his eyes.Andrea was too shocked to even speak.She never believed that woman, but her grandfather had actually woken up after the woman treated him."Grandpa, how are you feeling?"Andrius asked with concern after the old master stopped coughing.The old master n
Chapter 42 A Tempting Offer For Her
What Andrius meant was obvious.Although she had not taken the initiative to mention the supply of medicinal materials, he was aware of her purpose and had even intended to take the initiative to talk to her about it.Rosalie, however, hesitated as she did not dare accept the reward without merit.After all, the Quirke family did announce in the beginning that they would sell the medicinal materials at half the price only if Old Master Quirke was cured.She did not respond for a long time, and Andrius just stood there while he looked at her with a smile.Seeing this, Rosalie also smiled. "To tell you the truth, I did indeed come to treat Old Master Quirke when I heard from a friend that the Quirke family would sell their medicinal materials at half price to the doctor who can cure him. But Old Master Quirke has only just woken up now, and the particulars of his situation aren’t clear. I don’t think it’s time to discuss compensation with the Quirke family, not until the old master'
Chapter 43 There’s Something Off With The Mood
Having gained her word, Andrius replied with a smile, “Since this is your answer, I'm relieved. I'll prepare the contract tomorrow. Then we’ll just need to sign it."Rosalie nodded in agreement.After discussing the compensation, Andrius personally escorted her to the door and watched her drive away.Watching her car drive off, Andrius then turned back into the house and called Byron."How’s Old Man Quirke?"Byron’s voice rang out along with the sound of flowing water the moment the call connected.Andrius smiled and answered, "He’s awake. Dr. Jacobs is indeed quite skilled."Saying that, he recalled the strangeness between Byron and Rosalie just now and asked curiously, "Byron, have you met Dr. Jacobs… before? I kept feeling that the atmosphere between you two to be somewhat off, and I haven't seen you treat other women like that."She was heckled earlier, and he spoke up for her.At first, Andrius had actually thought that Rosalie was a fraud.Seeing Byron coming forward to
