Chapter 98 I Know My Father
Chris chuckled coldly when he recognized Daniel. “So it’s you?”
Sophia, confused, looked at Chris and asked, “Honey, do you know this idiot?”
“I saw him earlier today, I knew then he wasn’t up to any good. I didn’t realize he’d fooled Isabella now too.
As a seasoned businessman, Chris certainly didn’t want to offend River because of Daniel. He reached for the walkie–talkie and called out loudly, “Security!”
The security chief rushed in quickly with a team of uniformed guards in tow.
“Sir, what do you need?”
Chris pointed at Daniel and ordered, “Throw this idiot out!”
“Yes, sir!”
The guards, armed with their gear, charged towards Daniel, ready to evict him with force. Seeing this, Isabella hurriedly stepped in front of Daniel with her arms outstretched to block the guards from acting.
“Who dares? He’s my assistant! Stand down, everyone!”
Her command caused the guards to hesitate, unsure of what to do. They couldn’t afford to offend either the boss or Isabella; they were just security guards who could easily lose their jobs if they made the
wrong move.
As things became awkward, Daniel stepped forward with a chuckle.
“If Chris doesn’t believe me but believes someone who’s cursed him instead, then there’s nothing more! can say. After all, it’s your life. I have no right to stop you from committing suicide.”
With that, Daniel turned to leave.
“Don’t go!”
Isabella stopped Daniel with a stern command.
“You’re my assistant; you must follow my orders! You have to help my dad get rid of the curse inside him
today!”
“Madam, I’m just a doctor. Such a distinguished man as your father, am I even qualified to treat him?”
“What do you mean? Are you looking down on us?”
“I wouldn’t dare. It’s not up to me alone though; even if I were willing to treat your father, if he isn’t willing to cooperate, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Who says he’s not willing? If I say he’s willing, then he’ll be willing!”
Isabella went up to Chris and shook his arm vigorously.
Chapter 981 Know My Father
“Dad, are you willing to let my assistant treat you?”
“Stop shaking; you’re almost breaking my arm.”
Chris didn’t directly answer her question. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to be treated by Daniel; it was River’s presence–he couldn’t offend Elysian Yu.
Isabella immediately understood his gaze, so she turned to River.
“Elysian Yu, you’ve treated my dad and should be very clear about his ailment, right?”
“What else could it be but his heart condition? Because of Chris’s bypass surgery, the lifelines between his body and heart were severed, which led to his cardiac arrest. If not for my timely intervention, Isabella, you might be planning your father’s funeral right now.”
“Elysian Yu, as Florida’s number one doctor, I’ve heard there are many good at cursing in Florida. There must be quite a few cursed people within the state, right? As the top doctor, if my father was cursed, surely you’d be able to tell?”
Isabella was directly questioning River’s honesty, implying that if River was as good a doctor as he claimed, he should have been able to detect a curse placed upon Chris–a clever move to put River on the
defensive.
