Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“I believe she doesn’t dare to do that,” Lauren said, “Moreover, Mr. Terence has always respected you, and Ms. Julie is under your control. Mr. Terence will not do anything to disappoint you.”

Lady Gibson thought for a while and sighed helplessly. “Speaking of Julie Gibson, if she still loves Kilborn, she will let me worried.”

Julie was the younger sister of Terence. She was also the younger sister that Terence had always doted on. She had been living abroad with Terence all these years. Now Terence had returned home, but she had not returned.

The reason was that she fell in love with the man she should not love, her eldest nephew, Kilborn. This was already an open secret in the Gibson family. Originally, she was sent abroad for a few years, which aimed to make her give up on Kilborn. Unexpectedly, she didn’t give up.

After living abroad for so many years, she didn’t intend to find a boyfriend or get married. It had become the most troublesome and humiliating thing for the Gibson family.

“Madam, don’t worry. Ms. Julie will understand it one day.” Lauren patiently comforted Lady Gibson. “There is no faithful love in the world. Ms. Julie has not met the man she loves. Otherwise, she would have fallen in love with others.”

“I hope so.” Lady Gibson sighed helplessly.

Lauren thought for a moment. “If you are anxious, we can find a suitable and outstanding man for Ms. Julie. Maybe she will fall in love with him at first sight?”

Lady Gibson thought for a moment and nodded. “It is indeed time to find a suitable man for her.”

Esther still thought about Lauren’s matter when Ross suddenly asked, “Terence is going to Proley tomorrow. Don’t you want to do something?”

Esther looked up at him and asked in surprise, “So early?”

“This is Master Gibson’s request.”

It seemed that Master Gibson was concerned about this matter. He was so eager to chase Terence away.

She sighed helplessly and said, “What can I do? I’ve already apologized. I can’t do anything else.”

“You can go with him. The wife always follows the husband.”

“Go with him?” Esther was slightly surprised.

“What? Is this very difficult?”

“No, but would Master Gibson agree?”

Terence was tricked by her to go to Proley, and she was Terence’s wife. So she should go there with him. However, not to mention whether Master Gibson would agree or not, Terence himself would probably not want her to go with him. After all, he hated her so much now.

“If you really want to go with him, you can ask Lady Gibson for help,” Ross suggested.

Esther looked at Ross confusedly. “Dr. Ross, why do you want me to go with him? You knew he didn’t want to see me.” He didn’t even visit her when she had a fever and fainted, which showed that he didn’t care about her at all.

Ross thought for a while and said, “First, Terence seems well, but there will be the possibility that he will have a relapse at any time, and it would be better to have someone stay by his side. Second, you should know how popular your husband is. If you don’t go, I believe a lot of women are willing to go with him, including the big star, Lila. So, whether it’s for his health or your marriage, you’d better go with him.”

Esther smiled bitterly. She could still gladly accept the first reason, but the second reason… she really could not accept it. No one could stand a true playboy. If he wanted to cheat, it would be useless even if she stayed by his side every day.

It could be seen from the fact that after Terence was drugged in the banquet a few days ago, he didn’t press the beautiful Miss Lila under him, but pulled her to the lounge to vent his anger. He was still a man of principle, at least he wouldn’t casually have sex with a woman.

This was also the reason why she didn’t hate him these days.

Terence was going to Proley tomorrow, but she still needed to pray in the ancestral hall.

Although she was afraid of that place, in order to find out the truth, she was willing to brace herself to go there again.

She suddenly looked up at Ross in front of her and hesitantly asked, “Dr. Ross, what do you know about the Gibson family?”

Ross had been sorting out the stuff on the table, but when he heard her question, he looked up at her suspiciously. “Nothing. Why did you ask that?”

“Since you don’t know anything about it, then forget it.” Ross was an outsider. How could he know about the ancestral hall of the Gibson family? Even Terence might not know it. After all, he had been living abroad all these years.

“What do you want to know from me?” Ross asked.

She didn’t want him to know that she was prying into the secret of the Gibson family’s ancestral hall. She said, “Nothing, I just want to know more about Terence’s illness.”

“Terence’s illness…” Ross looked at her shocked.

“Yes, there are rumors that he won’t live long? Is it true or false? And what’s the matter with him? Is it really incurable?”

No one had ever properly answered these questions because it was also the secret of the Gibson family.

Ross stopped his work and said hesitantly, “Sorry, I can’t answer this question.”

“Aren’t you his attending doctor?”

“Although I am his attending doctor, I was curing the symptoms rather than the disease,” Ross said in a serious tone, “In short, even foreign doctors can’t find out the reason why Terence was sick. Without a definite diagnosis, everyone can only be sure that it’s the blood type problem of his gene mutation.”

“You’re referring to his P-type blood, but my blood is also P-type, why am I fine?”

“Well… it’s probably because he is not lucky,” Ross shrugged helplessly. “That’s a humiliation to my profession as a doctor. But I can’t give any other reason.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“It really does damage your professional reputation.” Esther rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Ross smiled embarrassedly and said, “As for how long he can live, that is even more difficult to say, because every time Terence falls ill, it is possible that it will lead to his death.”

Esther couldn’t help but take a deep breath and stared at him in shock.

“I don’t know if you have seen him fall ill. If you have seen it, you will understand that it is a miracle for him to survive in that kind of situation.”

Esther unconsciously recalled the scene when she first met Terence. At that time, he was ill, which was terrifying. But she had always thought that although he was painful at that time, it would not threaten his life.

It seemed that she was wrong, she had underestimated his condition.
