Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 986

Eventually, Zephyr relented. "Fine, you sly old fox. I shall treat your wife." He heaved a long sigh of resignation. "But you must promise me never to sell this house, demolish it, or use it to threaten me again." I have to put all the security measures in place in case this b*stard comes after me again.

Alexander's lips curled in a fake smile. "If you're that worried about the property, why didn't you take ownership of it?"

"I reserve my right to refuse to answer." Zephyr put his hands in his pockets, refusing to elaborate further.

"Of course." Alexander stopped pressing for answers. "Now tell me what you need. Anything you can come up with, I'll get them for you. No matter how expensive."

"Ah, I can purchase the herbs myself. Just foot the bill for me. Now, let me see the wound." Zephyr composed himself and got into his work mode.

"Let's take this to the study."

Elise was wearing a mask to hide her scarred face from the public. When they finally entered the study, she took her mask down. Zephyr was a little surprised to see her true looks, but it would take more than that to shock him. I see why she won't show her face. "I won't tell anyone."

"I trust that you won't." Alexander had faith in the doctor. "Now, check her wound."

Zephyr nodded and approached Elise, the look on his face solemn. "I'll need you to show your wound, Elise. Might have some skin contact, so pardon me." He was a professional, but he had to make that disclaimer just in case Alexander got jealous.

"It's alright. I'll be counting on you." She pushed her hair upward, revealing the scar on her left forehead. It ran from her temples to the corner of her eye.

A frown furrowed his brows. "This is… going to be complicated."

"Just tell us if you can do this." Alexander wanted a definite answer.

"I'll try my best." Can't say I can't deal with this.

Narissa was in the room next door, holding Alexia in her arms. "Lexi, you can't trust men, especially the handsome ones. The prettier they are, the more of a cheat they can be."

"But Daddy's handsome, and so is Irvin. Am I supposed to not trust them?"

Alexander was the most handsome guy Narissa had ever seen. Elise was the prettiest, and then Irvin was the cutest kid she ever laid her eyes on. The whole family was made up of beautiful people. "Except for them. I'm talking about strangers. People we don't know." Especially that Zephyr. "They're super crafty, so don't fall for their lies."

"Did someone bully you, Godmother?" Little Alexia was eager to open a fresh vat of gossip.

"Yeah. The guy who came to our house today. Lexi, you have to ignore him, alright? I don't like him," Narissa said, acting a little childlike.

"Sure," Alexia answered seriously. "He'll learn his lesson, Godmother. That always happens to villains."

Irvin told me only bad guys would talk down to Mommy. Then, by that logic, only bad guys would talk down to Godmother as well. After Zephyr was done with his diagnosis, he came down to the lounge and caught a break. It was then that Alexia used Irvin's leftover drug to spike Zephyr's water. She then served it to him. "Here, mister. Some water." She beamed innocently. Nobody would think she was up to something.
