The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 30

The maids were cleaning the house downstairs. As Liana descended the stairs, her expression darkened when she noticed that Kylie wasn't there.

"Go and bring her here," she commanded the butler. She believed Kylie had no sense of discipline for sleeping until this late hour.

Liana sat down by the coffee table, holding her cup of coffee. Just as she was about to take a sip, the villa's front door opened from the outside.

Upon hearing the commotion, she immediately looked over. She was surprised to see a tall, imposing man standing at the entrance.

"Samuel? Weren't you on a business trip to Oakheart? Why are you back so soon?"

Samuel greeted her before his sharp eyes swept over the room. Then, he got straight to the point and asked, "Where is she?"

Liana stared at her son as if he were a stranger. She wondered if this was her child. He was supposed to let Kylie live like a widow, but what he was doing now was the opposite!

A long silence filled the living room.

She set her cup firmly on the table, her voice laced with displeasure. "You come home from a business trip just to ask for her? Do you think I'll mistreat her or something?"

"That's not what I meant." Samuel stood tall and composed, his features calm, showing no emotions. Exhaustion did nothing to diminish his noble and charming demeanor, even after a long flight. "Grandpa isn't feeling well. I'm here to take her to check on him."

"Dan, bring Ms. Clark here," Liana instructed, adding with a sneer, "I don't want Mr. Vance to think that I'm treating her badly."

At this moment, the butler exchanged glances with the middle-aged maid, who instructed Kylie to clean the pool. The maid understood the silent signal and stepped forward to report, "Mrs. Vance, when I was about to clean the swimming pool this morning, Ms. Clark told me she would do it herself."

"And you just let her?" Samuel's face darkened.

The maid flinched and stuttered, "I… I told her not to, but she insisted. She said she wanted to leave a good impression on everyone."

Before she could finish, Samuel dashed for the rooftop pool.

Kylie's consciousness was fading. She was entirely submerged in the water. In her daze, she believed she saw a tall figure approaching.

She didn't know if she should feel relief or sadness that even in a moment like this, she could only think of Samuel.

A fortune teller once predicted that she was destined to face a major disaster. Whether she could survive depended on her fate. Kylie wondered if today was the day she would die.

Meanwhile, Samuel felt a sudden, fleeting panic across him when he saw her drowning in the pool. Before he could even process his emotions, he was ready to jump in without hesitation. But Liana came after him and pulled his arm, stopping him.

"Samuel! You don't have to go in. Just get the maids to pull her out!" she screamed.

"No! Call Sebastian and get the ambulance!" With that, Samuel dove into the water without waiting for another second.

He swam to Kylie, drew her into his arms, and quickly carried her to the edge.

"Hurry! Get me a towel!" Liana grabbed a towel from the maid and tried to dry him off. But he pushed her hand away and focused entirely on Kylie.

"Kylie! I command you to wake up! Grandpa still needs you. You can't die!"

His shouts echoed through the entire estate. Alissa, Peter, and Wade rushed over after hearing the commotion.
