279.Chapter 279

Kevin stared at the photo of the appraisal results, momentarily stunned.

Alicia had sent him not just the photo, but also all the info about the miracle doctor

He was shocked to learn that the miracle doctor who’d been all the rage lately was actually Nicole’s real father

And on top of that, he was also his grandfather’s illegitimate son.

Now that this guy was involved with Mavis and her daughter, things were definitely getting complicated.

He didn’t dare waste a second and rushed off to find Leo.

Leo hadn’t slept a single minute last night. Every time he shut his eyes, nightmares kept haunting him.

This morning, after a meeting at the office, he was so wiped out that he crashed on the couch for a quick nap, but got startled awake almost immediately.

He was barely awake when Kevin showed up.

After hearing what Kevin had to say, Leo felt a jolt in his chest. “So there’s something seriously wrong with this miracle doctor?”

That miracle doctor has been treating him lately.

Kevin replied, “It’s a major issue.

“He’s been stirring up all this trouble just to get back at the Hammond family.”

Leo couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with the medicine he’d been taking.

He pulled a bottle of pills out of his drawer and handed it to Kevin. “Take this to the Delaneys’ hospital and get it tested for anything suspicious.”

Kevin took the bottle. “Got it.”

Kevin already knew that miracle doc had been treating his dad for insomnia.

He asked with concern, “Dad, you look awful. What’s going on?”

Leo replied, “I just can’t sleep. Every time I start to drift off, I get slammed with nightmares and jerk awake.

“Makes me think there’s something off about these pills.”

Kevin paused, then asked, “Did the symptoms start after you began taking these pills?”

Leo shook his head. “No, before that I just had trouble falling asleep. Once I started taking the pills, I could actually get

some rest.

“But last night, even after I took them, they didn’t help at all. If anything, my nightmares got even worse.”

Kevin suddenly thought of something. “Dad, you didn’t eat anything when you got home last night, did you?

“That miracle doctor is Nicole’s real father. He might use Mavis and her daughter to try something against you.”

Leo answered, “Mavis cooked, but I didn’t eat a bite. Didn’t even drink any water.”

He’d suspected something fishy last night, but since he hadn’t eaten or drunk anything, now he wasn’t so sure

Kevin said, “I’ll go get these checked out.”
