Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Urgent Call “All right. Thank you, Rys.” Cordelia nodded obediently before turning around to try on the blouse, which turned out to fit her just right.

After that, the two of them rested in the hotel room for a while before checking out.

Holding Emrys‘ arm, Cordelia did not appear as aloof as usual and had a smile on her face. In fact, both of them looked like a couple in love as they walked out of the hotel.

A few minutes after they left, the suited man from earlier entered their room and removed a few strands of long hair from the bed.

On the way back, a wave of fear washed over Cordelia as she thought about everything that had happened.

She was shocked to know what kind of person Philip was. He had intentionally rejected her request to meet before setting up a trap to lure her in. It was terrifying how scheming the man was.

However, what was more difficult for Cordelia to come to terms with was the fact that her good friend, who was also her roommate in college, was in cahoots with Philip and had worked with him to harm her.

Indeed, it was inevitable for people to change after stepping into society. Even her previous roommate could no longer be trusted.

The incident had left a lingering fear in Cordelia’s heart.

However, a surge of warmth filled her heart as she glanced at Emrys, who was next to her.

Rys is still the best.

If Emrys had not been present earlier, Philip’s evil scheme would have succeeded. She would rather die in that case.

Ring, ring…

Just then, Emrys‘ phone rang. An anxious voice sounded the moment he picked up. “Are you Dr. Lund?

I’m Roger Balford’s daughter. My dad asked me to call you…”

“Give me the address now!”

Emrys knew what was going on at once when he heard that the caller was Roger’s daughter. Cutting to the chase, he asked for her address immediately.

“Delia, you will have to drive yourself back. Something has happened with a patient of mine in Summerbank. I think it’s quite serious.”

Cordelia nodded and replied, “Saving someone’s life is more important. You be careful as well, yeah?”

“Yes, Ma’am”

Chapter 124 Urgent Call Cordelia watched with astonishment as Emrys took out his bicycle from the backseat of the Porsche and left without looking back.

“Roger, you’re lucky that I happened to be in Summerbank today. It seems like you’re not fated to die yet!”

Meanwhile, at the Balford residence in Jazona, Jacqueline Balford was at a loss as to what to do.

She did not know what was wrong with her father, who had suddenly collapsed and remained unconscious ever since. Despite consulting every renowned physician in Summerbank, no one knew what was going on.

Just when she was at her wits‘ end, Jacqueline suddenly recalled that, a few days ago, her father had given her a number to call in times of emergency, saying that the number belonged to a miracle doctor named Dr. Lund.

As such, she quickly dialed that number.

However, it was a young man who picked up, which left Jacqueline baffled.

Aren’t all renowned physicians supposed to be at least in their fifties? Why does he sound so young?

He must be Dr. Lund’s disciple!

As the situation was urgent, Jacqueline did not have much time to think. After sharing the address of the Balford residence, she headed to the gate to wait.

After less than ten minutes, a young man in his twenties was spotted riding his bicycle toward the house. Stopping in front of Jacqueline, he asked, “Is this Roger Balford’s house? Were you the one who called me just now?”

The young man was Emrys.

He observed that Jacqueline was around 1.7 meters tall. She had an oval–shaped face and delicate features. Just like most girls in the city, she also had smooth and fair skin and exuded an air of nobility.

Jacqueline had already sized Emrys up when he was approaching the house. She wondered if he was the man whom she had conversed with over the phone earlier.

Emrys‘ words provided her with the answer she needed.

The woman nodded and replied, “Yes, I was the one who called you. I’m Jacqueline, Roger’s daughter.

Are you Dr. Lund’s disciple? Why isn’t Dr. Lund here?”

The desperation in Jacqueline’s voice was obvious. None of the experienced physicians whom she had consulted knew what Roger’s illness was. As such, the miracle doctor was her only remaining hope.
