Chapter 36
Return of the Lost Heiress
Wynter glanced up, looking in the direction of the voice.
Fabian was awake, resting on the hospital bed. Despite his age, his eyes didnât show signs of aging.Instead, he exuded a calm and steady demeanor.
It was a vibe only some could possess, resulting from years of ups and downs in the business. world.
Even in the business world, when it comes to temperament, ten Ewan Yates put together might notmeasure up to this elderly gentleman.
Even though he had not fully recovered yet, you could sense the authority in his tone.
Aside from Fabian, that handsome patient from yesterday was also there.
He sat by the bedside with his legs crossed, not wearing a suit today. He exuded a sickly charm,placing his slender, pale hands on his knee.
It looked like he was playing chess with Fabian. He smiled when he saw her enter the room.
Wynter gave him a polite nod. Then, she put down her black bag and walked over to Fabian. Shesmiled politely and said, âI wouldnât dare to call myself a lifesaver. Itâs our duty as doctors to treatpatients.â
However, Fabianâs hand froze when he saw her exceptionally beautiful face. He completely forgot tomake a chess move.
This genius doctor looked so much like his lover when she was younger!
If he hadnât been so busy starting his business in the past, his lover wouldnât have left Kingbourne tomove to Frenda.
Fabian sank into thought, but his eyes couldnât leave Wynterâs face. He wondered if she was his littleprincess, as she looked so similar.
Fabian got excited and couldnât help but blurt out a question, âDr. Genius, are you from Southdale?Have you ever visited Kingbourne or perhaps visited the Empire State Building?â
When he asked this, he gripped the chess piece tightly, like he was hoping for something.
This made Dalton, who was always perceptive, pause for a moment as well. His good- looking eyesturned towards her.
Wynter put her bag down and avoided his gaze.
âYes, Iâm a local, I havenât left here yet. Iâve seen the Empire State Building on TV. My classmates sayyou have to see it in person to understand how magnificent it is,â
Saying this, Wynter smiled. âSomeday, Iâll take my grandma there.â@@novelbin@@
She didnât need to share her familyâs matters with the patients. Besides, the reason âDr. Miracleâ couldkeep her whereabouts a mystery was because Wynter chose to stay hidden.
Although Fabian had anticipated the answer, his hand holding the chess piece drooped after hearing it.It was as if his whole spirit had deflated.
He calmed his emotions before saying, âItâs just my old eyes playing tricks on me and my mind gettingmuddled. Dr. Genius, please donât mind me.â
âNot at all.â Wynter couldnât bear to see the old man distressed.
After a moment of thought, she added, âMr. Quinnell, your family has been doing good deeds forgenerations. Your descendants will not suffer. Iâm sure your little princess will come back safely.â
Hearing this, Fabian sat up straighter and gave her a crinklyâeyed smile. âI hope so.â
Seeing the old man happy, Wynter also smiled.
Suddenly, Dalton spoke up. His voice was calm and somewhat indifferent. âHow did you know theQuinnell family was looking for someone?â
It was a tricky question.
Wynter narrowed her eyes slightly. When she looked at Dalton again, the corners of her eyes curvedinto a smile.
âJust a guess. Yesterday, when I was treating Mr. Quinnell with acupuncture, he kept mumbling âlittleprincessâ over and over.â
âI thought Ryan told you.â Dalton tilted his head and smiled at her, continuing to play chess. âIt doesnâtmatter how you know. Youâre one of us.â
