Outside the room, Jameson called out, “Howard, you awake? I need to talk to you?
Howard opened the door and saw him standing there. “Gwendolyn’s asleep. Let’s talk outside,” he said, closing the door gently behind him.
Jameson looked pale and asked hesitantly, “How’s her injury?”
“Just spit it out,” Howard said, his expression detached and his voice low.
“Look, Howard, Jameson began, his voice heavy with concern, “Tve been thinking about your grandfather…”
“He’s not my grandfather anymore.” Howard cut in, seeing through it all. “I know you’ve been visiting the hospital a lot. If you want to honor your duties, that’s your business.”
Jameson rubbed his hands together nervously. “Warren is old and in pain. He’s been discharged tonight, and Jarvis only cares about his
shares.”
Cleaning his tears, Jameson continued, “Howard, he is… after all, my father. The harsh treatment we received was partly because my birth led to my mother’s death in childbirth. If you have to blame someone, blame me.”
Jameson was good natured and kind–hearted but foolishly dutiful.
“So now you’re planning to ask Gwendolyn to heal him? She’s got a soft heart. Don’t exploit her kindness.”
Jarvis could potentially ask for her help, but she had every right to refuse them outright. But if Jameson asked, she would be tom. “Kid, why so hot–tempered?” Jameson sighed.
“I won’t stop you from fulfilling your filial duties, but leave Gwendolyn out of it”
“Howard! Warren knows he was wrong and really wants to apologize to you in person. I know you’ve got a loyal heart. If you were truly heartless, you wouldn’t remember the Hamilton family’s kindness from ten years ago, and the car accident…
“Dad!”
Howard interrupted him, “It’s late. I have Cliff drive you home.”
Jameson looked at Howard’s resolute face, filled with disappointment.
Pleading was futile.
His gaze flickered towards Gwendolyn’s closed door. Howard was right. She was too kind–hearted
Taking a deep breath, Jameson said, “Til head back then.”
That night, the internet was abuzz
Those who had insulted Gwendolyn were mostly deleting their previous comments, leaving apologies in their wake. Many of her patients came forward to praise her kindness.
Ferdinand, the deputy chairman of the Health Association was suspended, and the association’s notice was taken down.
Bill’s crimes were exposed, and his family was lambasted.
Even Gemma was outed for abandoning Gwendolyn and marrying into wealth. Her interview clip was edited and shared repeatedly. drawing scom.
“To abandon such a talented daughter, Gemma must be filled with regret.”
“That’s the disciple of a renowned healer! I heard Gemma has been seeking all sorts of treatments, trying to bear a son for the tycoon.”
The topic continued to trend heavily.
The next morning, Enoch had finished Gwendolyn’s acupuncture, and Marina had prepared a hearty breakfast
After breakfast, Enoch told the couple, “Im going out to meet an old friend today and won’t be back for a while.”
Howard said nonchalantly, “TII have Cliff accompany you, then,”
“No need, Enoch waved off the offer.
Howard didn’t insist, only reminding him to stay safe.
Many were now seeking out Enoch for his reputation. Overnight, their small villa’s front door was piled with expensive gifts. It took Marina’s strict orders to the security not to let anyone in to keep the situation under control.
