NovelEnglishYulia asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say that you were going to treat Ms. Whitlock’s grandfather,
Skylar?”
Without waiting for the man to explain, Delilah recounted the episode at the hospital. She even
apologized to Skylar at the end as though it was her fault. Yulia’s heart softened as she was reminded
of her own grandfather.
Delilah knew that the woman had the ability to influence Skylar. Hence, she implored, “Ms. Sue, even
though my family members are in the wrong, Grandpa is innocent! Please, I beg you to convince Mr.
Stone to treat him.”
Yulia sighed and turned to Skylar. “Ms. Whitlock is right, Skylar. Mr. Whitlock shouldn’t be held
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtresponsible for their mistakes. Nothing is more important than being able to save a life. We should help
him if we have the ability to do so.”
Lola added, “That’s right, Daddy! Save the Grandpa! I’ll be so upset if he passes away.”
Skylar nodded and chuckled dryly. After being persuaded by his wife and children, he had no choice
but to give in. “All right.”
“Thank you, Mr. Stone! Thank you, Ms. Sue! Thank you, Lola!” Delilah expressed her gratitude, tears
welling up in her eyes. Skylar then followed Delilah to the hospital, while Yulia went shopping with Lola.
Harvey and Veronica remained frozen to the ground, watching helplessly as Skylar walked away.
Infuriated by the end outcome, Todrick yelled, “I was still wondering if he was a big shot. It turns out
he’s just a useless doctor. What a braggart! He would be of no use to us once the old man is
recovered. I swear to teach him a lesson then!”
Needless to say, Skylar did not hear Todrick’s snide remarks. Even if he did, he would ignore the man.
After all, he was a powerful man, and Todrick was a minor figure in his life.
Half an hour later, Skylar arrived at Blanc’s bedside. The rest of the Whitlocks had left the ward as they
were too ashamed to face the man after the embarrassing incident earlier. There were only two nurses
left in the ward. One was keeping watch while the other had helped Blanc to change out of this blood-
stained outfit.
Skylar requested for the nurses to leave the room so that he could administer his 24 Needles
Technique once again. He removed the needles ten minutes later and said to Delilah, “Your grandfather
should be all right. He needs to have a good rest for the next couple of days. Since his stomach has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeen empty for some time, serve him some nourishing food.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Stone!” Delilah said gratefully upon seeing color returning to Blanc’s pale
face.
Skylar nodded and kept his needles. Just as he was about to leave, Delilah added, “Do let me know
how much to pay you for the treatment. You can state any price you want.”
“It’s all right. I said that I have no need for money,” Skylar rejected. “Remember your promise.”
“Are you referring to keeping this a secret?” Delilah probed.
The man nodded and exited the room without saying anything further. With her mouth gaping, she
watched him walk away. She did not expect Skylar to reject any forms of monetary reward, including
the Whitlock shares which she had promised earlier. While Delilah felt immense respect for the man,
she could not help but wonder his true identity.
Just as Skylar was about to call for a taxi, his phone rang. It was Dianne.
“What’s the problem?” he inquired. However, he began frowning after hearing her report.
