And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Chapter 240



Chapter 240

Sanford was seething with anger, yet his expression grow narily calm.

“If we start letting relatives horas declare like then, how can the hospital even operate? Security went easy on you today because of the Hamilton family’s reputation. If it wasn’t for that, you’d be…

“Sanford, I get it. I was wrong. Selina wivined, tugging at his sleeve with a playful pout.

Massaging his throbbing temples, Sanford said, “Claude’s health has gone downhill, and his chances of recovery are slim to none. Gwendolyn had her reasons for refusing. You have no idea what she’s up against if she takes on.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“What’s she up against? Selina feigned innocence, looking at him with wide eyes.

She knew exactly why she had pressured Gwendolyn Into saying yon.

“Forget it, just don’t pull a stunt like this again,” Sanford lectured.

“Cross my heart, I’ll be good.”

Selina raised her hand, pinky extended, as if taking an oath

“You should go now.

Sanford looked at Selina, all dolled up and radiant, and spoke with a detached tone.

The siblings had never been close, perhaps because of the age gap, and they simply didn’t click

He had always wished for a sister like Gwendolyn -kind and level–headed, not someone like Selina, who was pampered and as out of touch as Marie Antoinette with her let them eat cake mentality.

It was a ridiculous thought, Sanford mused.

He needed to call the Lopezes to hurry them over.

During the hospital’s lunch hour, Gwendolyn’s eyes were red, veined with bloodshot streaks, Clutching her phone, she hesitated to dial that crucial number.

Finally, she made the decision and called.

The voice on the other end picked up promptly, its serious tone deliberately slowed, “Gwendolyn, what’s up?”

Hearing that voice, Gwendolyn choked up, her emotions crumbling, “Mr. White. I’ve messed up. I agreed to treat the Lopez family”

Enoch was sharp

He knew Gwendolyn had been played, and she was too kind. If someone was dead set on getting her help, she’d have no escape. She was ill–equipped to fend off both open confrontation and hidden threats. That was one reason Enoch had always kept her identity under wraps.

Not all healers had a heart of gold. With the power over life and death, some hearts turned black, tainted with corruption.

I’m sorry, Mr. White. I’ve let you down.” Gwendolyn sobbed, feeling both wronged and guilty.

Enoch sighed deeply, offering comfort, “No worries. Those are just ghosts of the past, and maybe they’ll be left there. You’re my apprentice, and I’ve got your back.”

Gwendolyn asked, “What actually happened back then? Why did the Lopez family say they broke the rules?”

Realizing he couldn’t keep it from her any longer, Enoch divulged the secret, “I made a pact with Silas that North and South would stick to their own. If one of us treated a patient, the other would never interfere. The Lopez family used their influence to get Silas on board, so our hands are tied. We can’t get involved, or we’ll be breaking the rules.”

Gwendolyn pressed on, “And breaking the rules, what are the consequences?”

Images flashed through Enoch’s mind, but in the end, he said, “Nothing to worry about. Now that you’ve decided to treat Claude, focus on that. I know how hard it is for you to tury‘ away a patient.”

A true doctor is also a hero.

How could she stand by and watch a life fade away?

The roots were twisted when the divide was made. Perhaps this could be a turning point.

Even in the face of danger, there should be a glimmer of hope.

As her mentor, he’d protect her, helping her clear the path of thoms.

Gwendolyn didn’t catch the gravity in his voice and affirmed with the conviction of a vow, “Ill give it my all”

She was committed to upholding her oath as a doctor
