Natasha lifted the note and raised an eyebrow, murmuring, "Errands to run?"She promptly went for her phone to call Daniel. However, she couldn't find his number even after looking through her contacts several times. She blinked, feeling puzzled.Then, she remembered that she had changed her phone number after leaving the Sullivan residence. The Sullivan family's numbers were lost along with her old one. Natasha scratched her head helplessly.Daniel had stayed up late the night before, leaving Natasha wondering about his early morning rush. Additionally, he had never been to Oceanville before, and Natasha hadn't had the chance to show him around.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Natasha set her phone down and shuffled to answer it in her slippers. As she swung the door open, a chilly breeze blew in.Standing on the doorstep was a woman who appeared to be around 40 years old. Even though her tiredness showed in the wrinkles on her face, she was dressed perfectly and exuded
Natasha felt anxious. She quickly got up and grabbed her wool coat as she prepared to leave.The day before, when Daniel mentioned coming over to Oceanville to look into medical cases, she had thought about asking him for help with Philip's illness. She knew she wasn't as skilled in medicine as he was.With Daniel's assistance and the secret remedy from the Sullivan family that he possessed, Philip might have a good chance of recovery.But then, Natasha recalled Natalie's assurance that she could find the Sullivan family's secret remedy and confidently claimed it could save Philip.Natasha concluded she didn't have to do more than what was required. She shook her head as she realized she was no longer responsible for Philip's fate.Consequently, she couldn't allow Daniel to look for the Graysons. Her anxious heart urged her to act swiftly.At that moment, Amy had just begun preparing breakfast when she heard noises coming from the living room. Still holding the spatula, she hurri
Natalie's irritation vanished instantly. She asked, "Does he actually possess the Sullivan family's secret remedy?"Glancing at Daniel, who was standing next to Mark, she observed that he didn't resemble the Sullivans at all. From her perspective, there was no one like him among the Sullivans.She met his eyes.Having honed his social skills over many years, Daniel was adept at reading people's thoughts. With a glance at Natalie's expression, he discerned her lack of trust in him.Disregarding her, he proceeded toward the ICU and saw Philip lying in bed through the glass window. He wouldn't have come if it hadn't been for Natasha, even if the Graysons pleaded with him."What do you think you're doing?" Natalie found Daniel's actions rude. She silently cursed Mark for bringing questionable characters to the hospital. She was already irritated enough.Glancing back at Natalie, Daniel shook his head inwardly.While he didn't recognize Natalie, her presence here must be linked to th
The Grayson family did a good job of keeping Philip's illness a secret. Only a select few people who were close to the Graysons were aware of it."Yeah," Mark agreed. "I thought it was odd, too, and I didn't believe he could cure Mr. Grayson Senior. So, I just told him straight up that Mr. Grayson Senior's illness isn't something that just anyone can cure."I mentioned that only the Sullivan family's secret remedy could help him. Then, the guy surprised me by saying he had the secret remedy with him."So, Mark wasted no time and took Daniel straight to the ICU."People typically wouldn't dare to lie to the Graysons. So, he must be telling the truth," Mark stated confidently.Natalie's impatience softened a bit. Mark's logic rang true. Nobody would dare to deceive the Graysons considering their influence in Oceanville.Furthermore, Natalie realized she had to seize this opportunity now.She pursed her lips and slowly approached Daniel. "Sir, how should I address you?"Daniel gla
"I never thought the Sullivans would be this generous. When they found out Grandpa Philip was sick and needed their family's secret remedy, they quickly sent someone over with it."My uncle even offered to come, but I didn't want to bother him, so I declined," Natalie explained softly."Has the person made it to the hospital?" Joshua asked with concern."Yeah, he's already here. He's getting ready to help Grandpa Philip.""I'll go there right away," Joshua said firmly.His pen stopped suddenly on the document as he became overwhelmed with emotions. The ink from his pen spread out in circular patterns on the paper."Thank you, Natalie," added Joshua."It was my pleasure to help," Natalie responded cheerfully.She stood outside the ICU door with a radiant smile. Daniel's unexpected arrival brightened her mood. Any irritation she had felt earlier was replaced by contentment.Daniel changed into a white surgical gown and put on a mask. His actions made Natalie see him in a new lig
He lifted his gaze to see Natalie's flattering smile. Her smile was so wide that her big eyes squinted."Mr. Sullivan, I came in to help you."Daniel scanned Natalie from top to bottom. How dare she enter the ICU when she wasn't even wearing protective clothing?Waving her away, he said, "No thanks. I can manage on my own.""Let me help you. It's always easier with someone's help rather than doing it alone."After all, he was a member of the Sullivan family. She wouldn't normally even get a chance to see them. Since she could finally meet them, she had to seize the opportunity to leave a good impression.Even if he wouldn't remember her, at least they could get a little closer.Patiently, he repeated, "No thanks."With that, he slammed the door shut and approached Philip, who was lying on the hospital bed.It all happened so suddenly that Natalie couldn't even retract her smile in time. She awkwardly headed to the room's window, silently watching Daniel's every move.Daniel o
Joshua lowered his gaze. Standing by the window, he watched the man inside intently.As Joshua had walked too quickly, Terry couldn't keep up with him.Arriving late, he panted as he climbed up the stairs. Perhaps because he made too much noise or because it was too quiet, Natalie turned to glare at him.Noticing Natalie's gaze, Terry awkwardly and self-consciously stood in a corner, trying to make himself as small as possible.Natalie withdrew her gaze. Although she didn't know why Joshua suddenly withdrew his hand before touching her face, she composed herself and approached him."Josh—"Before she could complete her sentence, Joshua turned away, interrupting her. "What's the doctor's name?"Having received such a big favor from the Sullivan family, he definitely needed to show his gratitude.In the face of that question, Natalie blinked, a hint of discomfort crossing her face.Why would she know his name? She only knew his surname was Sullivan. She didn't know anything else
Although Mark didn't complete his sentence, Natalie knew what he meant.Following his lead, she quickly added, "Yes, Josh. We still need to respect the Sullivan family's practices. My family members don't like revealing our names."If I were to reveal his name to you, I'm afraid Dr. Sullivan wouldn't be pleased when he comes out of the room. I'm sure Grandpa wouldn't want to upset his lifesaver." Natalie stared at him earnestly.Joshua didn't say anything in response to that. His expression shifted subtly.It was hard to tell whether he believed Natalie's words or not.Taking advantage of Joshua's silence, Natalie cast a subtle glance in Mark's direction, indicating for him to leave.His words had temporarily rescued her from an awkward situation. However, it would be better if no one knew she was acquainted with Mark. In fact, she was rather upset that Mark had spoken impulsively.Suddenly, the flashing red light turned off, and noises could be heard from the ICU."Is the su
