Harvey scoffed, annoyed by Lauren’s naivety. She was once a brilliant, captivating woman, but she lost her sense ever since she started seeing Andrew. Not only that, but she even dared to challenge him.
As Cedric finished his examination, Harvey rushed forward with a smile: “Dr. Aicker, while Mr. Thatcher’s condition might stump others, surely it’s no challenge for someone of your expertise?”
Cedric remained silent, his brows deeply furrowed, which made Harvey’s heart skip a beat. Dr. Aicker, please say something. How is Mr. Thatcher’s condition?”
Cedric shook his head, sighing. “I’ve identified the illness, but I’m afraid it’s beyond my skills.
to treat him.”
The room fell into shocked silence.
Harvey refused to accept this. “Dr. Aicker, don’t say that about yourself. Mr. Thatcher’s life is on the line. Please, do whatever you can!”
Cedric replied sharply, “If I could treat him, I would have done so already. Mr. Thatcher’s condition affects his entire system, and it’s terminal.”
Harvey’s face turned ashen. He had just returned from abroad and needed to prove himself, hoping to impress Christina. Mark’s illness could have been his perfect opportunity to shine, yet even Cedric could not help:
Harvey clenched his fists, feeling bitter at the missed opportunity. He silently cursed Cedric for being useless.
As he composed himself, Harvey declared, “Everyone, don’t worry. The Weller family will immediately contact top specialists from Blumedale and Chetvine. We’ll save Mr. Thatcher at any cost!”
Cedric shot him an annoyed glance. “Don’t waste time. Mr. Thatcher doesn’t have long. Those so–called specialists won’t arrive in time, and they’re merely mediocre practitioners anyway.”
“Besides, the Thatcher family has already reached out to Blumedale and Chetvine,” Lauren pointed out. “You’re a bit late to suggest that, Harvey.”
Others joined in criticizing Harvey, and even the Thatcher family members looked at him with disdain.
“Exactly, no need to act like we missed something.”
וד
“If the Weller family wants to get credit for saving Mr. Thatcher, there’s no need to be so obvious. You’re a bit too eager.”
Harvey’s face flushed red with embarrassment. Finally, he snapped, “Fine! Since you’re all so clever, tell me who’s going to cure Mr. Thatcher’s illness?”

It was a tricky question, and everyone looked hopefully at Cedric.
Suddenly, Lauren spoke up. “I have someone in mind who could help.”
“You want Andrew to treat Mr. Thatcher?” Harvey scoffed before anyone else could respond.
“Yes, Dr. Lloyd can treat him,” Lauren replied confidently.
Harvey laughed mockingly. “If Dr. Aicker can’t help, what makes you think that loser can? Lauren, think carefully–Mr. Thatcher is a high–ranking official. If you let a loser doctor of yours take this one and make a mistake, can the Rhodes family handle the consequences?”
Others voiced their agreement, expressing their unease.
“Ms. Rhodes, Mr. Thatcher’s condition is too serious. We can’t just trust a random guy to handle it.”
