Julian Parks used to support Annalise Barton’s treatment of Sybil Xander’s brother. After all, the two families had a good relationship. However, now that Annalise was pregnant, he could not bear to let her tire herself out. He did not know if he was hallucinating, but Annalise’s face was no longer as rosy as before. It was a little pale, and she seemed tired. “What are you looking at?” Annalise asked with a smile when she saw Julian staring at her. Julian took Annalise’s hand and held it in his palm. He frowned slightly. “Sybil’s brother’s illness has been going on for a long time. It doesn’t matter if you take a look or not. I don’t want you to be so tired.” “It’s fine. I’m not experiencing any symptoms now. I’ll deal with whatever I can. I might not be able to do anything once I start to feel uncomfortable,” Annalise said with a smile.
Actually, you don’t have to work so hard…” Annalise shook her head. “No, I’m not tired. On the contrary, I feel very fulfilled. Every time I treat a patient, I accumulate new experience.” Julian reached out and patted Annalise’s head. How could there be such a person in this world who was so likable? Her every expression and word moved him. There were so many big shots who doted on her, like her mentors. She was capable and wealthy but had not forgotten her roots or beginnings. She still dedicated herself to treating patients even now.
They arrived at the Xander’s residence. Sybil was already waiting at the door. Sybil ran over with a smile when she saw their car. “You’re here?” Sybil came over and held Annalise’s hand. She said, “My brother has been sick for a long time, so his temper is a little strange. Don’t take it to heart if he sounds nasty sometimes.” “Don’t worry, I’m a doctor. I understand patients,” Annalise said. “Yes, my brother… He is quite pitiful.” Sybil could not hide the pity she felt at the mention of her brother. He had been bedridden for 20 years.
His face was as pale as a ghost. If not for the fact that the servants took good care of him and washed him often, he would probably have been in an even worse condition. Sybil led Annalise through the courtyard of the residence. Then they saw Nancy Zeller walk toward them, along with Yechiel Xander, Sybil’s eldest brother. Surprised to see Annalise, Nancy greeted her politely, “Annalise, what a coincidence!” “Hello,” Annalise greeted. Nancy smiled again and said, “You guys can continue. I’m returning to the Zeller’s residence.” She had come to ask her father for the shops early in the morning. Initially, her father did not agree to add new shops, but he could not resist her acting pitifully.
She said that while she lived with the Zeller family, her stepfather didn’t dote on her, and her mother didn’t love her. If she hadn’t donated her bone marrow to her second uncle when she was young, her body wouldn’t have been so weak. And she wouldn’t only have had limited success in her twenties, blaming it on her health. She added that her second uncle was highly talented and managed Xander Group well. Later on, when Second Uncle fell sick, it was also because his father found a bone marrow that matched his that he gave up the position of president.
