The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 2

Samuel's words stabbed mercilessly into Kylie's heart as each word throbbed painfully.

She clenched the silver needle in her hand tightly and said, "You'd better not speak too soon, Mr. Vance."

With that, she continued administering acupuncture to Vincent.

Behind her, countless eyes filled with mockery and disdain fell on her. Yet she remained unfazed as her hands moved with skill and precision.

After the acupuncture, she wore a prescription and handed it to a nearby housekeeper. "Follow this prescription. Get the medicine ready and give it to Mr. Vance Senior three times a day."

The housekeeper did not move and shot Kylie a look of open disdain.

Kylie sighed inwardly. The fact that even the housekeepers didn't take her seriously could show how tough her life in the Vance family would be. She had no choice but to turn to Samuel.

Noticing her look, Samuel ordered in a deep voice, "Do as she says."

…

Night had fallen by the time everything was settled.

Though Samuel had agreed to marry Kylie, it was conditional on curing Vincent's illness. The treatment would take time, and since she had no official status yet, she couldn't stay at the Vance residence.

The butler, Jim Wise, approached. "It's getting late, Ms. Clark. It's difficult to grab a cab here. Let me take you home."

"Thank you so much." Kylie's heart warmed. She wondered if that was Samuel's instructions.

Exhausted from the day's events, she fell asleep as soon as she got into the car.

With a bang, the black Bentley jerked violently and came to an abrupt stop. Then, it stalled.

Kylie was startled awake, and a sense of unease crept into her heart. Could it be…

Jim's words confirmed her fears. "My apologies, Ms. Clark. The car seems to have broken down."

Kylie sighed helplessly, feeling both resigned and guilty. She'd always been unlucky and plagued by misfortune since childhood.

Now, even the Vance family's Bentley had fallen victim. A loose manhole cover on the road had caused the left front wheel to get stuck.

Jim tried stepping on the gas pedal multiple times, but the car wouldn't budge.

"The Dale residence isn't far from here, Jim. I'll just walk back," Kylie said as she stepped out of the car. It wasn't long before she arrived at the Dale residence, a brightly lit three-story white villa.

She reached out and entered the passcode for the door.

"Incorrect password."

Hearing the automated voice, Kylie frowned and tried again. Again, she was informed that she'd inputted the incorrect password.

She quickly understood what was going on, so instead of entering the passcode, she rang the doorbell.

The housekeeper, Sara Holmes, saw her and opened the door. "Why are you only back now, Kylie? Mr. and Mrs. Dale look grim. The first thing they did after coming home was to change the door passcode and have your belongings packed up."

Sara was the only one in the Dale residence who treated her well.

Kylie didn't hide the truth. "Mr. Vance Senior is seriously ill. I used his treatment as leverage to force Samuel to marry me."

Sara's eyes widened in shock. Her eyes were full of anger and distress as she said, "What! You know full well that he and Ms. Dale are in love; why would you do that?"

Kylie didn't explain further. She simply said, "I have my reasons."
