Chapter 833
Bella took Arnold out to lunch at the dining hall. Meanwhile, Asher
headed back to his room and locked the door behind him.
Asher went to the study and sat at his desk. The perpetual smile on
his face slowly stiffened, and his fingers worked to loosen his tie and unbutton his collar.
With each button undone, he felt a little more at
ease.
A silver cross dangled out of his shirt, shining with a dim light.
As Asher closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his mind wandered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaway from Arnold’s face, and another person’s image flashed before
him.
At the restaurant, Bella had whipped up a spread of delicious dishes
for Arnold.
Although it had been a long time since she had cooked, her skills hadn’t dulled one bit. In
fact, her cooking skills were so exquisite that
even the family’s chef wanted to learn a few tricks from her.
Arnold’s stomach rumbled as he eyed the mouth-watering spread on
the table.
“It’s just some simple food, Dr. Larson. Please give it a taste,” Bella encouraged, a smile
playing on her lips.
But Arnold was a man with a principle. He couldn’t be swayed by a mere meal. He took a
deep breath and looked coldly at Bella. “Ms.
Thompson, although you are my aunt’s beloved daughter, your status
holds little value to me.”
He continued, “I made it clear on the phone before. I don’t treat the rich. Justin is the
president of the Salvador Corporation. He has plenty of doctors lined up to kiss up to the
Salvador family. They will do everything they can to treat him. I’m not needed. I am a man
of my word. If I say no, no one can change my mind. You’d better not waste
your energy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBella wondered. ‘Hmm? Did Ash not treat him well enough?’
She calmly met his gaze, unfazed. She knew that men had a common
weakness-pride and the desire to win.
Bella picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said casually, “Dr. Larson, I know you’re
a highly skilled doctor and are very confident with your medical skills. You have never
failed in your medical career,
and not even once have you had a failed surgery. As long as you take
over a patient, you can guarantee a 100% chance of recovery. But
that’s because you only take on patients with a guaranteed chance of
recovery, right?”
