Felicity was infuriated by Veronique, and her lingering anger prompted her to refuse to meet with Anonymous.
In her opinion, Anonymous was merely someone fishing for fame with nothing to show. Yet, the latter dared to act all high and mighty.
Felicity, the matriarch of the Luther family, had lowered herself to beg Anonymous, yet the latter remained hidden. As a result, she thought Anonymous was pretentious and playing hard to get.
Since Anonymous was reluctant to show her face, Felicity decided not to be courteous anymore.
She reckoned there were so many gifted people with amazing skills in the world, and Anonymous could not be the only person who knew how to perform a craniotomy.
She refused to believe that without Anonymous, they could only watch Glen dying in a hospital bed.
Cadence was a middle-aged man around forty years old, handsome, and of mixed parentage.
He had practiced medicine for over twenty years and performed many craniotomies. Therefore, Cadence was very experienced in that field.
“Mrs. Luther, I will have to meet with Old Mr. Chivers to understand his condition better before I can finalize a treatment plan.”
“Of course, of course. You traveled so far to Hallsbay, so I figured you must not have obtained proper rest on the private plane. I've already instructed the servants to prepare the guest room for you. You can adapt yourself to the time difference for now. I'll bring you to the Chivers residence once you're well-rested.”
With that, she turned to look at the butler, who was standing aside in silence, and said, “Lex, guide Dr. White to the guest room. See to his needs and immediately order the servants to handle anything he requires. Make sure Dr. White is well-accommodated.”
“All right.”
Watching Lex leading Cadence away, Felicity reached out to hold Rhonda's palm and gently patted the back of the latter's hand before saying affectionately, “Thank you for your kind gesture. You must have had it rough lately, going to all that trouble to seek treatment for Artemis' granddad's illness. I can even see the obvious dark circles under your eyes.”
Rhonda smiled compliantly and proceeded to butter Felicity up with flattery. “I think of Artemis' granddad as my own granddad. Therefore, it is my obligation to care for his well-being. I was afraid my incompetence might cause me to fail to handle this task abroad. Fortunately, I was blessed to be able to convince Dr. White to help us.”
“You are truly a filial and good-natured child. I can rest assured with you as the matriarch of the Luther family. You should stay here in the Luther residence instead of returning to the Jefferson residence. Do your best to nurture your relationship with Artemis while you're here and strive for his agreement to get married as soon as possible.”
Rhonda was overjoyed.
She had spent so much time and effort hiring Cadence for the sake of returning to the Luther family. Now that she had achieved her goal, Rhonda thought it was worth it for her to pay the price with her body.
In order to satisfy Cadence's perverted desires, she had suffered greatly in bed for the past few days.
“Thank you, Mrs. Luther. I'll do my best.”
Felicity let out a sigh. “I wonder if Dr. White is capable or not.”
Rhonda gazed downward. I don't know if he's capable or not in the medical field, but I do know he's exceptionally outstanding in bed, with all the various positions he tried with me. He mentioned something about wanting to get a thorough taste of me because I'm Artemis' woman.
Recollecting those scenes, she felt disgust churn within her and wanted to vomit.
Cadence is indeed someone who originated from Uramuzor, living up to the reputation of being lecherous and twisted to his core.
“Don't worry, Mrs. Luther. Dr. White is an expert in this area. He has performed hundreds of surgeries. With his rich experience, he will definitely be able to save Granddad's life.”
Felicity patted Rhonda's hand again and chirped, “All right. Okay. Thank you again for your goodwill. You should take care of your health by getting some rest now. I suppose you must be exhausted after a few days of hard work.”
A hint of hatred flashed across Rhonda's eyes.
