Chapter 43 Sleep Together and Get Married
Hearing this, Gerald sighed!
He could foresee how difficult it was for him to change the opinions of those people!
Even though he thought that Doreen had the best relationship with him back then, she still did not believe him.
These words were not nice to Gerald, but Doreen had a good starting point. Of course, it also proved that Doreen had some feelings for him, be it friendship or other feelings.
Therefore, Gerald did not refute her and just listened quietly. He was already used to people’s misunderstandings and did not care about them.
Doreen looked at Gerald’s calm face and continued, “And… The third thing.”
She looked at Gerald and asked, “Can you ask the doctor you know to treat my grandfather?”
Gerald looked at him.
Doreen’s grandfather was a very outstanding man. His family’s business was built himself, and his family became a top family in Sacramento.
Gerald had seen her grandfather, but his grandfather had never liked Gerald.
Her grandfather felt that Gerald was just a branch family member of the Kenneth family and thus his background was
not good enough. So her grandfather didn’t want Doreen and Gerald to have a close relationship.
Later, after the incident between Gerald and Doreen’s cousin, Doreen’s grandfather hated Gerald a lot.
“Dr. Manning has left Los Angeles. I don’t know where he went,” Gerald said.
What he said was the truth, but in Doreen’s opinion, it might not be the case. She felt that Gerald held a grudge against his grandfather, so he was unwilling to introduce the doctor to her.
She frowned and said, “Gerald, it has been nine years. I have already let it go. Why do you still hold a grudge against my grandfather? Back then, something like that happened to his granddaughter. That was why my grandfather would
not let it go…”
Gerald waved his hand and said, “Believe it or not, Dr. Manning has indeed left Los Angeles. He can’t come back for the time being. In fact, I know a little about medicine. Although I’m not as good as Dr. Manning and don’t know how to do surgery, if you believe me, I can check up on your grandfather when I go to Sacramento.”
Doreen was stunned.
Indeed,
a Night Watch would study simple medical treatment because it was impossible for a Night Watch to have a
top doctor around on every mission.
Doreen frowned. She did not agree or deny it. Instead, she said, “You better not go back to Sacramento. My cousin’s family will not let you go. And you also know Henley’s hostility toward you. You can live well in Los Angeles.”
At this time, Gerald smiled and looked at Doreen. “Even now, you still do not believe that I have been wronged, so I have to go back. My parents are still in Sacramento. Although they have been living well for the past nine years, they probably do not feel good. After all, they have a son with a bad reputation, so… I will prove my innocence. All the people who framed me back then will pay the price.”
Doreen looked at Gerald and sighed. “Up to you. In short, try not to provoke Henley. Even if you want to go back, keep a low profile.”
After that, she turned and walked to Audrey’s office.
Looking at her slim back, Gerald touched his nose and thought, although you still don’t believe that I am innocent, at least in these three years, you’ve been the only one who still looks out for me. In this case, I’ll never let someone like Henley get you!
Just then, the corner of his eyes flashed with a cold light. “Humph! The Zumthor family!”
In fact, from the information that Doreen had revealed, he could know many things.
Doreen’s grandfather was seriously ill and was not in the mood for business. As a result, the Cousy family fell into a passive situation. As for Henley and the others, they probably took the chance to control part of the Cousy family’s businesses. That was why they had no choice but to let Doreen sacrifice herself to marry Henley in order to protect her family business.
Gerald let out a breath. At this time, Bradley suddenly walked over and looked at Gerald. He took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to Gerald. He asked, “You want this?”
Gerald did not refuse him. He smoked, but he was not addicted.
After lighting a cigarette, Bradley let out a sigh and said, “I just confirmed with Gideon. I must thank you for what you
did for Hazel.”
“It’s OK.” Gerald smiled and said, “Don’t spread the news out. As you know, we are low–key.”
“I understand!” Bradley nodded and said, “Just now, I bought the villa next to Audrey’s home. If you are free, move
Gerald looked at him in surprise. He thought, damn it! The Greenpower!
