Clearly, Whitney wasn’t going to return and help Paula recover.

frustration.

She thought, ‘How could Whitney have such skills and abilities?

‘Why does it always have to be Whitney?

‘Are those backwater folk remedies she learned out in the sticks really that miraculous?

‘Does the Anderson family really have to rely on Whitney?

‘No way!

‘There are so many talented people out there. If Whitney can pull it off, so can someone else!

‘Whitney is not the only one with those abilities, after all!

‘I couldn’t stand the idea of the Andersons actually turning to Whitney for Paula’s illness.

‘If Whitney really came back, wouldn’t all the years I spent working so hard go down the drain?‘

After the director left, they headed to Paula’s hospital room, looking at Paula, who was still in a deep sleep.

Even in her sleep, Paula’s brows were tightly furrowed, clearly still in discomfort.

Brandon rubbed his aching temples and let out a sigh. “Did you all understand what the director said?”

Chase and Eric nodded, their faces a mix of emotions.

It meant they’d have to swallow their pride and go ask Whitney for help.

Just picturing that scene made them feel sick to their stomachs. They couldn’t accept it.

So neither of them said a word.

Brandon knew exactly what his two brothers were thinking. He turned to them and said, “If it’s for Mom-”

But before he could finish his sentence.

Emily sat by the bed, holding Paula’s hand, her tear–stained face lifted. “Brandon, don’t force Chase and Eric. Whitney only said those things because she was upset. Even if Chase and Eric went to her, it wouldn’t really help…”

She left her words unfinished, but her meaning couldn’t be clearer.

She was highlighting Whitney’s coldness while also siding with Chase and Eric, trying to protect them.

She was subtly reminding everyone that Brandon had thrown some harsh words at Whitney over the phone, telling her not to regret cutting off the family.

So if they went to Whitney now, that would be a slap in the face.

Not only would they fail to bring Whitney back, but they’d also end up losing face.

Then, Emily lowered her gaze,

her voice trembling with guilt. “It’s all my fault Mom got sick, and that’s why Whitney won’t come back. If Whitney were here, Mom wouldn’t have to suffer like this-”

Eric immediately jumped in to defend her, his voice full of concern. “What does this have to do with you? It’s all that bitch Whitney’s fault.

“She doesn’t have

a shred of conscience. She doesn’t care about her own mother. She’s no better than an animal!” Funny how he’d already forgotten that a moment ago, when Paula had her attack, he was the one who shoved her aside to protect Emily.

Brandon shot his hot–headed little brother Eric a sharp look, clearly annoyed. “Enough. This is a hospital. Keep it down. Don‘ t wake Mom up.”

The sheer force of Brandon’s presence as the Anderson heir filled the room, his family aura impossible to ignore.

Eric instantly ducked his head and went silent.

Brandon turned back to Paula, his gaze heavy as he stared at her lying in the hospital bed. After a long pause, he said,

outout then any skilled practitioner of traditional medicine could do it,

Eric slapped his palm. “That’s right. We can go to the Medical Association and get a traditional medicine doctor! There are tons of skilled doctors there. We don’t have to depend on Whitney.”

Eric thought, ‘Once we got the leader of the Medical Association to treat Paula, Whitney would be totally unnecessary! ‘Let’s see how she keeps acting all high and mighty, thinking she can use Paula’s illness to threaten us!‘ “Brandon, that’s exactly what I was about to say,” Emily said, wiping the tears from her cheeks and looking up at him, her eyes still red and wet. “Since Whitney can’t stand me, she won’t come back to see Mom when she’s sick.

“So I figured if she is really not coming back, then let’s find a good traditional medicine doctor for Mom instead. “Not long ago, I won an award for one of my research projects, and my professor was so impressed that he gave me a special invitation to a Medical Association event.

“The day after tomorrow, Davis, the president of the Medical Association, is hosting a lecture himself, and it’s happening right here at Roynfort University.”

While flaunting her own achievements, Emily made sure to take a jab at Whitney, subtly putting her down.

The Anderson brothers‘ faces instantly brightened. “You got an invitation to the Medical Association president’s lecture? Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”

Eric chimed in, “Emily, you won an award for your research? Why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve thrown you a party!”

“It’s a little research project,” Emily played it down, but inside, she was feeling pretty smug.

She finally had all eyes in the Anderson family back on her.

Emily continued, “Let me give you the invitation later, Brandon. You can go and ask Davis to treat Mom.

“You got the invitation, so it’s only right that you go,” Brandon said, already thinking ahead. “I’ll go with you.”

He’d been worried about how to connect with the Medical Association, but Emily had already gotten them a way in.

He thought, ‘She really is the Andersons‘ golden girl.

‘She always brings us huge surprises.

“With this invitation in hand, and I, as the CEO of Anderson Group, personally showing up, the president of the Medical Association would definitely pay attention to us.’

“Emily, well done. You’ve always been amazing, Brandon said with a smile, giving her a gentle pat on the head.

Emily promised. “I’ll do everything I can to persuade Davis to help Mom.”

Seeing Brandon’s smile, her anxiety finally started to fade.

Getting a little carried away, Emily couldn’t resist throwing more shade at Whitney. “It’s because of me that Whitney refuses to come back and save Mom.

“I’ve always felt so uneasy and guilty about it. But now that I can finally help Mom, I’m honestly relieved.”

“Emily, seriously, I’ve told you. It’s all Whitney’s fault. She’s got no conscience, cold as ice, and only cares about herself. None of this is on you,” Eric snorted, rolling his eyes.
