Arthur replied, “I’ll cooperate completely.”
With that, Bethan immediately arranged a full medical examination for him.
After Arthur left the consultation room, Tristen leaned in and reminded her, “Just so you know, the Locke family is one of Europe’s oldest dynasties of wealth.
“Mr. Locke is the youngest heir of the family, and his insomnia has lasted for three years. They’ve hired world-renowned doctors, but none of them has
succeeded.
“If you manage to cure him, you’ll make your name overnight and secure your place in the global field of sleep disorders.”
Faced with the challenge, Bethan straightened her shoulders. “Don’t worry, Tristen. I’ll give it everything I’ve
got.”

Once the server brought in their coffee and closed the door behind them, Megan spoke, “Hugh, to be honest, my brother and his wife were afraid that Hudson and I would drag them down. They bought a house outside of New York and left, abandoning my mother for me to take care of.”
Hugh’s expression grew colder with every word. “Where are you staying now?”
