Chapter 1146 Replacing Linda with Another
Walter and Linda found Charles in better physical condition, resting in his private room at Andrade Clinic.“Who would’ve thought!” Walter joked. “The owner of the clinic network became a patient.”“Now I can advertise by proving the facilities are good.” Charles quipped, making the others laugh.“Mr. Andrade, I’m so glad you’ve recovered,” Linda said, moved.“My dear, why did you bother, waking up in the middle of the night to see this mischievous old man?” Charles was surprised by his future daughter-in-law’s dedication.“I needed to show that I care. You’ll be my family, right?” Linda replied wisely.Jacqueline seized the moment and said, “Linda, get your look ready. We’re moving the wedding up, as soon as Dad feels better.”“Oh, how interesting! Good to know — keep us posted.”Walter was surprised. “Are you serious? Why? Does Dad not have much time left?”Emmanuelle shuddered. “No, son! Don’t think like that.”Walter shrugged. “Then there’s no reason to panic. The party can’t be t
Chapter 1145 Unexpected Couples
On the longest night at Andrade Clinic, Linda was negatively surprised when Walter exclaimed that he didn’t want to have family ties with Nathan. “Darling, how can you say something like that here in the lobby, for everyone to hear?” she complained. “It’s the truth.” Walter chuckled. Linda, however, gave him a shove on the shoulder. “OUCH!” Walter was not pretending the pain. “That was completely unnecessary, my dear.” “Unnecessary is your rejection.” Linda quickly defended Nathan. “The poor boy isn’t to blame for everything that happened.” “Darling, have you forgotten that we’re talking about the same Nathan who almost ran us over that fateful night?” Linda gesticulated furiously, indignant. “No! Don’t even start recalling that night! First, it was my sister’s fault, and then, your best friend Matthew Sterling was involved too. You know that. Everyone was forgiven, except Nathan?” “Nathan should have avoided driving drunk, no matter if Bella and Matthew were plotting behind t
Chapter 1144 Don’t Ruin the Wedding Because of Me
Back at Andrade Clinic, Charles and Emmanuelle didn’t know how they would explain to Jacqueline what they plan to do about the wedding.“Dear daughter, we appreciate your concern about my presence at your wedding,” Charles broke the silence. “More than ever, I want to walk you down the aisle.”Jacqueline’s eyes welled with tears. “Thank you, Dad...”“But we can’t ruin this moment with a hurriedly organized party because you’re afraid I won’t make it until then. And what about the guests? Will everyone be able to attend at the last minute?”Zachary took Jacqueline’s hand. “Your father has a point, dear.”“It might be, but it’s what I want. I’m scared, Dad...” Jacqueline let tears fall.“If you want, the wedding can be now, right here in the hospital room,” Emmanuelle joked.However, Jacqueline seemed serious. “GREAT IDEA! Call Matt, Walter, and Linda, and let’s call the priest--”“No, daughter, NO!” Charles cut her off with authority. “You don’t deserve to have your special moment ruin
Chapter 1143 Nathan Will Be Your Brother-in-Law
In the lobby of Andrade Clinic, Matthew was talking with Walter about his relationship with Linda.“So, buddy? How does it feel to have Nathan in the family?”Walter reacted with wide eyes, thinking Matthew had lost his mind.But Matthew was not offended. He narrowed his eyes and continued, “What’s wrong? Haven’t you thought about that?”Then, the realization hit Walter like a ton of bricks. “Oh, really? I never stopped to think about that!”“My condolences, man.” Matthew shook his head in sympathy.Walter took a deep breath. “No, I need to make things clear to Linda.” He shook his head, looking around. “Where is her father?”He responded, “He went inside, I think to get more information or visit Charles.”Walter envisioned Linda at the reception desk, checking things as if she were on duty.“Darling, can you come here for a minute?”Linda smiled and approached him. “I read the online chart, dear. Your father is out of danger. Did Jacque see him?”“Yes, she probably is talking about t
Chapter 1142 Defending the Daughter from the Creep
In the kitchen of the Sterling Mansion, Abner and Alice, both in robes, were acting like mischievous kids raiding the pantry and fridge for snacks.While Charles had eaten too much, the elderly couple had eaten too little and were now on the verge of hypoglycemia.So Abner made a juicy sandwich with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, oregano, onions, turkey breast fillet, and grilled the bread in butter to melt the cheese until stretchy. Alice chose a chocolate sundae.“Mmm...” Abner teased as the cheese pulled endlessly.“He, he, he...” Alice giggled. “If the staff catches us, they'll freak out, thinking they failed to serve us.”“But they would never serve us these treats,” Abner philosophized, chewing the stretchy cheese.“That’s true — and I don’t want to hear Sheila reprimanding us.” Alice grinned mischievously. “We should be the ones scolding her.”“Speaking of Sheila, looks like you two have bonded for the greater good today.” Abner smiled.“To reproach our arch-nemesis.” Alice shru
Chapter 1141 Maybe You Should Leave Town
Charles Andrade was now personally experiencing what it meant to be treated at the very clinic he owned.In a private room, he lay serenely on the hospital bed. A standard IV bag dripped medication into his left arm. Multi-parameter monitors displayed stable heart rate and blood pressure.Emmanuelle and Dr. Maurício stood close by.“Darling, how are you feeling?” Emmanuelle asked, wiping away tears.“I... feel completely better,” Charles replied in a calm, relieved voice. “I don’t understand all the fuss everyone’s making over me...”Emmanuelle pinched his right arm playfully. “You doused your chicken fillet in that stew sauce again, didn’t you?”“OUCH!” Charles squirmed theatrically. “Easy, woman! Doctor, are you going to let the wife pester the patient?”Dr. de Paula chuckled. “Looks like the patient is out of the woods — he’s up to joking around!”“Dr. de Paula, you and Dr. Almeida both deserve a raise.” Charles leaned back against his pillows.“I don’t seek financial reward, Mr. A
