My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1797

Hearing that Damien was looking for a doctor, Miley felt a hint of gratitude.

She knew he would not abandon Chloe. "Is there really a doctor who can cure Chloe, given the condition she is in?"

Damien took a deep breath and said, "Of course there is. I've heard of a renowned doctor, James Dade, who has cured patients with severe paralysis. Chloe has only just been paralyzed as of recent, so there might be hope. And at this crucial moment, you're stirring the pot for me!"

He had been swamped with work every single day, and not only could Miley not help, she had also added to the chaos, driving him up the wall.

"How was I supposed to know you were looking for a doctor? But this famous doctor, I've heard he's elusive and not many can find him. It's better for us to just get the money."

What Miley said was true, for their dividends had dwindled significantly, and they had to consider Chloe's ongoing treatment expenses on top of that.

"What do you know? James Dade has an apprentice who is said to reside in our country. As long as we get to find her, there's hope. Stop messing around. At this critical moment, we can't afford to offend anyone. Tomorrow, you'll withdraw from the lawsuit. Do you understand?" Damien said.

He knew the background of the Holder family, something which Miley was clueless about. If the Holder family managed to dredge his dark secrets up, he might not be able to stand his ground in San Joto ever again.

"I..." Miley paused, not ready to give up.

Damien glared at her fiercely. "If you don't come to your senses, I'll cut ties with you. You don't know the true nature of the Holder family. Don't create another mess for me to deal with."

Miley shrank back, suddenly understanding Damien's point: the Holder family was probably more complicated than she had thought.
