Chapter 169 - Struck Her Central Shoulder Point
A few hours later, when Asher was through, he took out the needle carefully, applying the herbs to the spot. Gasps left James and the maids’ mouths when they saw colour returning to her face. They witnessed a miraculous revival of a woman they thought wouldn’t survive.That moment, she sneezed, her eyes fluttering open.“What happened to me?” She muttered.James stood frozen, feeling excited and stunned, seeing his mother awake. Veronica and Claudia stood with their mouths ajar in shock and disbelief.“Nothing much, Mrs. Douglas, it seemed someone you trusted had an extra motive against you.”She looked at him confused, as she struggled to comprehend what he was saying.James walked forward, “Mom, you are awake. Mr. Mancini said you were poisoned, he saved you, mother.” He said with excitement.But Mrs. Loveth stared coldly at the maid, ‘Who among you did this to me?”The maid shook their head in disagreement. Mrs. Loveth looked at the maid, then at Asher. “Who are you and how did
Chapter 168 - Honeysuckle, And Dandelion Root,
“I quit, I was tired of working under someone, after thinking about it, I thought about starting a business or going to law school.”Asher chuckled, and asked, “How do you plan on doing that?” “I have my plans, just keep your eyes on the road.” She replied.Asher shook his head, still keeping a smiling face. He wasn’t surprised that she quit, he always knew Mia wouldn’t work for Olivia for long.Just as they arrived, James stood outside waiting patiently for them. Asher and Mia alighted from the car. At the sight of Mia, James had mixed feelings inside him, but then he kept himself composed.“This way, Mr. Mancini, I have gotten everything you requested. Come in!” James said with his voice barely above a whisper.Upon seeing her, Loveth, James’s mother, Asher could tell it was serious just like he had anticipated. She lay weak on the bed, her breathing heavy, and her face pale and drained of blood.Mia felt a surge of emotion, it reminded her of her mother’s condition, but seeing A
Chapter 167 - Head Or Tail
“Head or tail?” Asher asked.“I go with the tail, Mr. Mancini.” Asher shrugged, handed the coin to Chris, “You flip the coin, whoever gets the same side twice becomes the winner.”Chris was left in shock, never expecting to be part of it. But then it fell on him.“Flip it,” James said confidently.“Alright,”Just as they had said, Chris took a deep breath. He took the coin, he flicked it with his thumb and the coin spun several times in the air before it landed on his palm, and he quickly covered it with his other palm, while staring at Asher and James.James’ heart pounded with possibilities, his body trembling slightly, while Asher was calm. Seeing the tension, Chris slowly opened his hand, revealing the head of the coin.Asher smiled.James’ face turned pale, and he nodded slowly, knowing he had one chance left. Chris flicked the coin again, and this time, James adjuste
Chapter 166 - A Game Of Luck
Chris was surprised by Asher’s reply. At first, he thought he would decline, but he just wanted something different. He raised his head and stared at James, “You should wait, he is on his way, let me remind you, if you are planning any evil against him you had better leave now, if anything should happen to Mr. Mancini when he comes here, I will make sure I kill you and your mother.”James shook his head. He couldn’t help but wonder what the healer had done for Chris and his family that would make Chris speak like that, and again, Chris was able to call the healer without stress. The healer agreed to come over.When Asher arrived, James was waiting inside, his face was full of worry and anxiety.He panicked and felt uneasy when he saw Asher, and how Chris tilted his head. At first, he was expecting an elderly man but Asher happened to be a young man. James hurriedly stood up, “Sir..Mr. Mancini.” He stammered.Asher stared at him, then at Mia whose face was gloomy. She stood behind th
Chapter 165 - Give It A Trial
“Whatever my brother did, I have no idea. I have been busy trying to fix things in my family.” James felt unease when he saw their cold gaze fixed on him. “I am sorry, I promise you that I will find him myself and report him to the police. But please, you need to help me. I have not come here for my brother but for the sake of my mother’s condition. She needs help.”Chris’s expression softened a bit, merely looking at James, he could tell he was saying the truth. But what his brother did was unforgivable.“I will call him, if he refuses to come don’t blame me for it,” Chris said with his voice barely audible.James nodded in understanding. While he stood still his mind raced, thinking about what he heard, “Did Edward do all of the things he was accused of? Why did he want to kill the healer? What had gotten into him?” he muttered inwardly.Chris pulled out his phone and was about to call Asher, but Mia interjected. “Uncle, you shouldn’t help him, they don’t deserve our help.”Chris,
Chapter 164 - How I Can Fix Things
Chris and James averted their gaze towards the direction of the voice.It was none other than Mia. She ambled forward. For a moment, James was attracted to the elegant lady; if not for the fact that he came out for something important, he would have stayed behind so he could get to know the beautiful lady.Mia ignored his gaze and ambled towards her uncle, she had been standing and listening to their conversation without their knowledge. She was furious when she saw Edward’s brother trying to seek help from Asher.“Mia, you are supposed to be at work today, what happened?”Mia hesitated for a moment, and said, “I will discuss that with you later.” Then she turned to James, “You should get going. The healer is not here and we can’t help you.” James’ face turned dark, he didn’t expect to hear that from the lady he admired. Why would she say so? Does she not know that his mother’s life was on the line? James ran a hand through his hair and let out a sigh. “Please, help me. Talk to him
