The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 457

Frank nodded to confirm Vicky's words. "I already refined the drakeroot when your mom called me earlier."

Helen was disappointed, but there was nothing she could do either—there was no way to revert the pill back to the drakeroot.

Still, she simply resigned herself.

She was not particularly disappointed anyway since the drakeroot was not all that important.

"Oh… Never mind, then." She flashed a pained smile.

Frank stared at her for a moment in thought for a long while and eventually said, "What's your cousin's condition? I could take a look."

"Oh, forget it. None of the Southstream's healers could help…" Helen trailed off and quickly corrected herself when she realized she had misspoken. "I mean, it's very serious, and most of the healers insisted she needs the drakeroot."

Frank smiled. "I treated your grandfather when he was on death's door too. I should at least try."

Helen looked up right then, her heart welling up with emotion.

There was no harm in letting Frank try even if he might fail.

"Thank you, Frank…" she murmured.

Vicky watched as the vibes between them got a little too comfortable, folding her arms before her chest as she huffed, "Hmph. You're eager to suck up to the Lanes, aren't you?"

Her jibe left Helen feeling embarrassed, as it hurt to remember how her family used to abuse Frank.

"I'm doing this for Henry, and not her family," Frank said just then.

He then turned to Helen. "Where's your cousin? Let's make this quick."

Helen smiled and did not take Vicky's jibe to heart, since she knew Frank still had her in his heart.

"Riverton City Hospital," she said. "Let's go right now."
