Chapter 113
In the VIP ward of the private hospital in Hamolica, owned by the Chambers family, Jeffrey remained lying in bed.
He didn’t seem to be getting any better.
His mouth was still open, and drool kept dripping from the corners.
He looked completely different from the dashing young gentleman be used to be.
Shitley was sitting by the bedsisle, constantly using tissues to wipe away the drool for Jeffrey.
Though Shirley acted very gentle and caring, inside she was screaming with disgust.
She thought, God, I don’t want to marry such a disgusting, messy guy. What am I going to do? The engagement party. right after next week’s piano competition.
If Jeffrey is still like this then, how could I hold my head high in Betrico? I’ll be laughed at by everyone!

In the past, Jeffrey was at least the heir of the Chambers family. Though not as handsome as Morris, he was dignified and charismatic
“But now, he’s just like a fool.
He’s no match for me at all. What should I do?
Jemma and Mandy were sitting on the sofa in the ward, looking worried
However, they cach had different thoughts.
Jemma was truly worried about Jeffrey.
However, it was comforting to see Shirley’s attentive care for him from last night until now, which was very reassuring and touching. Jemma thought, At least, Jeffrey has a wonderful fiancée
However, Mandy’s feelings were different.
Although she wore a worried expression, her heart was filled with disdain.
Mandy pondered, ‘My son-in-law must be exceptional. Jeffrey is really not a good match.
If he really can’t be healed, I might have to find a way to end this engagement.
Each of the three had their own distinct concerns.
By the door, near the window, Jacob and Henry were discussing in low voices.
Jacob whispered, “Mr. Chambers, regarding Mrs. Chambers’ niece, things don’t look promising, especially with Morris involved.
“He said anyone with objections should confront him. Well.” Jacob carefully glanced at Henry as he spoke.
“Morris? Why is he involved?” Henry asked with confusion.
Jacob didn’t want Henry to find out about Morris and Cherise’s relationship.
Firstly, it was common knowledge that Melissa was infatuated with Morris, which was why Jacob was concerned that Cherise’s affair with Morris could potentially strain the relationship between the Leach and Chambers families. Secondly, as Cherise’s father, Jacob couldn’t even manage her relationship, which was humiliating.
So, with a serious face, Jacob said, “Cherise is Phoebe’s lifesaver, and it was Phoebe’s command.” Hearing
a state, and I can’t do much for Anna now.
this, Henry nodded with belief and said, “Well, Jeffrey is in such
“Besides, since Morris got involved, going to confront him might be pointless.
“Maybe Anna should spend a few years in jail to temper her spirit.”
In the end, Jacob and Henry both nodded in agreement and walked into the ward.
Not long after they entered, Melissa came in with a young and pretty woman next to her.
“Hello, everyone,” Melissa said.
After greeting Melissa, chers noticed the woman behind her.
“And who might this young lady be?” asked Jemma.
Melissa smiled slightly at Jemma and said, “Mom, this is the doctor I found for Jeffrey, Yulia Muller.
“Come on, Yulia, these are all my family members.”
Yulia smiled and greeted everyone, “Hello everyone, I’m Yulia. Melissa said her brother has a strange illness, so I came to have a look.
Everyone curiously looked at the good-looking young woman, wondering if someone so refined really knew medicine. Shirley felt a twinge of jealousy when she saw another young and beautiful female doctor.
Henry looked at Yulia and asked, “Ms. Muller, are you from the prestigious Muller family in Hamolica?”
Yulia nodded politely and replied, “That’s correct.”
Henry was delighted and ventured, “May I be so bold as to inquire if Mr. Rayburn Muller is your…”
“He’s my grandfather, Yulia replied confidently yet politely.
“Oh, that’s wonderful! I never thought I’d meet someone from the Muller family here,” Henry said excitedly.
Everyone else was puzzled.
“Henry, who is this young lady?” Jemma asked, looking puzzled.
Noticing the puzzled looks on others’ faces, Henry clarified, “The Muller family has a legacy that spans centuries. They are a wealthy and traditional clan, akin to the old dynasties, yet they maintain a low profile, which is why most people are titaware of them.
“The Mullers are not involved in business or politics, but each family member is a leading authority in their respective
domain.
“Mr. Rayburn Muller is an expert in oracle bone script research, medicine, and even astrology. Despite his expertise, he is so low-key that he almost lives in seclusion.
“If Mr. Muller were more visible, his standing might even eclipse Marlon’s by now.”
After saying this, Henry sighed with regret.
With a bright smile, Yulia modestly said, “Thank you, Mr. Chambers. My grandfather just enjoys peace and quiet and prefers to stay out of the spotlight. “”He’s not as talented as Mr. Chambers claimst”
