There was no time to think–another quarrel was about to break out again. Penny’s furious voice rang out loudly, “Watch what you say! Are you cursing my grandpa to die? Some one, drag her out!” The bodyguards standing outside prepared to rush in upon hearing those instructions.
“Stand down!” Silas shouted. Then, the entire room fell silent suddenly.
Everybody turned to look, and Gianna followed suit. When she saw Silas, even the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably. Why is this man here? To run into the devil at this crucial moment; damn it! Are n‘t I too unlucky?
Seeing that it was Silas, Penny hurried over to him. “Silas, you came back at just the right time! Jade fo und a woman from God knows where and insisted on letting her treat Grandpa! She speaks so rudely a nd has such an arrogant attitude! More importantly, she cursed Grandpa to die!”
Gianna burst out laughing upon hearing those words. “Excuse me, miss. Your comprehension skills are so very worrying.

I‘m afraid I can‘t help you with this. Please, find somebody else to help you.”
However, Jade grabbed her and stopped her from leaving. “Please don‘t leave, Miss Aubrey.” Looking at Silas, she pleaded, “Silas, Landon specially invited Miss Aubrey here. He claims that she is very skillful in medicine! Please, just let her ha ve a try! Shouldn‘t we grab at the glimmer of hope we have for a chance at treatment? It‘s still better th an performing surgery, isn‘t it? At his age, if the old man undergoes surgery, he wouldn‘t be able to surv ive the process!”

Instead, she focused all her efforts on trying to persuade Silas. “Silas, La ndon is more often unreliable than not. However, he would never take anything related to his great– grandpa‘s life lightly.” On the other hand, Silas glanced at Gianna, then glanced down at the little boy st aring up at him quietly. After that, he recalled the arrogant four–syllable word he saw this morning– unrepentant. All of a sudden, he felt that perhaps he needed to reacquaint himself with this mother– and–son pair again. Thus, he stepped forward suddenly. Walking toward her, he stopped in front of her and asked in a deep voice, “Are you certain you can cure my grandpa?” It‘s his grandpa?! He and Landon are family!

Normally, most people would find it unbearable to be stared at by him in this manner. However, this woman was as calm as could be, acting as if she didn’t even feel his gaze on her. All of a sudden, Silas withdrew his gaze. Glancing at his grandpa lying inside, he s aid, “Let her treat him.” She smiled, secretly thinking in her heart, Hah, you little twerp! You finally fell into my trap!
“President Nolan, please don‘t force yourself. I only came here because Landon asked me to. If I knew you were involved, I would never have come. Seeing as you have such an amazing doctor with a doctorate in medicine, I won‘t take up your time anymore.” Then, she took the little boy‘s h and and turned to leave.
