Now that they had revealed who they were, Gwyneth found no reason to continue prolonging things. With that, she pointed at Root before saying, “Anyway, correct me if I’m wrong. You only decided to help Judy because you needed the money for your grandmother, right?” Watching as Root nodded, Gwyneth was prompted to add, “Very well, then. How about I strike you a deal? Stop working for Judy and join my company instead. There, I’ll give you the best equipment you could ever ask for, and I’m pretty sure your salary will be incomparable to what Judy offered you.” …Though he had anticipated her request that he stopped working for Judy, the latter offer was shocking, to say the least! He knew that she wasn’t giving out an empty promise, and he had to admit that he liked the idea of learning from her as well, but… Wouldn’t that mean that he’d have to betray his current employer? Truth be told, there were other reasons why he was working for Judy too… It took him a while, but he eventual
Squinting at her, Hayden then said, “…Are you for real? You’re unwilling to look to me for help even though I’m currently the only one who can provide it?” “I believe we both know the reason for that,” scoffed Gwyneth. Though Hayden’s smile remained on his face, Gwyneth could immediately sense just how furious he was inside. Thank God she was aware of his true nature… “I just don’t understand what you see in Liam… I can give you whatever he can, and hell, I’m better in some aspects than he is. For one, aren’t I here in your time of need instead of him?” said Hayden who knew Liam wasn’t coming over anytime soon. After all, he had made sure to properly analyze Liam’s schedule, and since this was a rather urgent meeting for that man, he had all the time in the world. In response to that, Gwyneth simply retorted, “It’s fine for a man to be a little late, especially when he’s compared to a scheming b*stard.” Following that, she began looking around… and soon enough, she found the
Following that, Liam pulled Gwyneth all the way home… and once the door was shut, he immediately pinned her against it and began biting her lower lip! Understandably startled, all she could do was stare in shock when Liam finally stared straight into her eyes and said, “Do you have any idea just how worried I was…? I was already getting anxious when you weren’t home after a while, but when I noticed Hayden’s car around? I nearly got a heart attack! I spent ages looking for you, and thankfully, I happened across the stuck elevator… How else would you have been saved so quickly?” …So that was what had happened… Feeling touched, Gwyneth hugged him tightly… but before she could even find the right words to say, she felt a trickle run down her neck. Was he… crying? No longer bothering to hide it, Liam gently placed her palm over his teary cheeks… and after a while, he was prompted to say, “…I’ve always believed that men shouldn’t cry so easily, yet… I simply can’t help myself… The lov
Gwyneth raised an eyebrow. She suspected something.'Wonder doctor? Could it be?'She decided to meet with Root and continue the conversation with this thought in mind.The following day, Gwyneth visited the restaurant where Root worked, with Liam by her side."Did Judy tell you the name of the wonder doctor?" She inquired when she saw the young man.Root uttered a few words, and his answer was more or less what she expected.A glint of light flashed across Gwyneth's eyes, and she exchanged a knowing smile with Liam.She was expecting this result. The situation would be much simpler for her to deal with if everything went exactly as she hoped.'I'm the wonder doctor, and I never made my identity public. Only a handful of people are aware of it. Judy learning about her identity is unlikely, much less my contact information. Judy must be bragging. She probably took advantage of Root's desperation to look for a cure.'Poor Root! He just wants to carry out his duty as a grandchild
This was something Gwyneth had anticipated would happen.She had decided to meet him today and offered to help him as a way of showing her sincerity.Root was a rare talent. It was foolish of Judy not to cherish him.Gwyneth was not going to let this chance slip past her.Her ultimate objective was to have Root loyally side with her.But before that, she sincerely hoped that his grandma's condition would get better.She jumped to her feet and yelled to Root as he left, "Hey, if you trust me, I can help you find the 'wonder doctor'!"Root paused in his steps.There was a brief moment of silence before he turned to face Gwyneth. His eyes were once again filled with hope.Whether other people were watching him in the restaurant did not bother him. He sprinted toward Gwyneth and asked, "Are you serious? Can you help me find the 'wonder doctor'?"As if realizing something, his mood dropped once more.He said, "But even if you do find him, you might not be able to bring him here."
The following day, Gwyneth got out of bed early.She had promised Root yesterday that she would bring the wonder doctor to treat his grandma.She looked at the man dozing next to her. She carefully lifted the quilt and got ready to get out of bed.In his sleep, Liam scowled as he realized that she had left. Therefore, he extended his arm to pull her back into bed.Gwyneth was aware of his intentions. She smiled helplessly, bent down, and gave a light kiss on his handsome face.Satisfied, Liam finally relaxed his hold.A little over an hour later, he also got out of bed. He searched every corner of the house but could not find his wife.Rather, he discovered a note on the dining room table.Gwyneth had left it behind before she departed, and it was written in an elegant font."Liam, I've made breakfast for you. I kept it warm in the oven. Remember to eat your breakfast before going to the office."Liam was deeply moved. His wife did indeed give him the best care.Gwyneth had
Gwyneth got to her feet and began packing her medical equipment.She said, "I have something to do over there. You can come along. You don't have to worry about the flight tickets. I'll ask my secretary to take care of them. What do you think?"There was a new area for development in Scarlet Highlands. Her data suggested that this land would soon become a highly competitive project. Because of this, she wanted to obtain it.She could conduct a thorough survey since this chance presented itself. Her confidence in the land's market value would increase as a result.Root agreed right away. After all, he had no idea what a century-old Safflower looked like. If Gwyneth was willing to take him there, it would have been a better arrangement.If accepting this meant that he was tacitly siding with her, he was not bothered by it."Okay, I'll let you know when the departure time has been decided."Gwyneth had other matters to handle in the office. She did not spend much time at Root's hou
Liam teased as he strode over and pulled Gwyneth into his arms.She indirectly responded to him and snorted, "Women always fall for you! There's always someone who covets you everywhere I go!"'All right, she's jealous! She always gets jealous but acts like she isn't. Women frequently say things contradicting what they mean. What's worse, I'm powerless against her! She's so cute.' Liam bent down and put his face against her shoulder. After that, he laughed in secret.Gwyneth suddenly spoke again, "I'll be checking out a project at Scarlet Highland for the next few days. Furthermore, I'll be helping Root collect an herb. While I'm away, you should take care of yourself and eat well."Liam's smile froze. He quickly lifted his head and demanded, "I want to go with you!"He had only been away from her for half a day, and he was already distracted and restless. He would miss her terribly and agonize over her if she was gone for a few days. He refused to have a long-distance relations
