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
Chapter 1140 Wedding Postponed... No, Moved Up
“He’s okay now, sweetheart.” They broke the hug, and Jacqueline looked him in the eyes. “We need to talk.”They sat in the waiting area. Walter stayed nearby, quietly listening.“What do you want to talk about?” Zachary asked, attentive.“For a moment, I thought I wouldn’t have my dad to walk me down the aisle.” Jacqueline began. “But Dr. Almeida said he’ll make it. We were lucky to catch it in time and bring him here quickly.”“That’s great news.” Zachary smiled, gently caressing her face.“That made me think we should move the wedding up — before my dad loses the chance to be there,” Jacqueline said seriously.Walter’s eyes widened. He had expected Jacqueline to ask Zachary to postpone the wedding, waiting for Charles to recover.But no, she wanted to get married sooner.“Are you sure about this?” Zachary asked, just as shocked.Jacqueline nodded. “If I don’t get married with my dad walking me down the aisle, I’ll regret it forever.”“None of this is your fault,” Zachary said gently
Chapter 1139 Jacqueline, Once Again a Rival?
Elaine, who had just started to calm down, was now tense again, arms crossed as she watched Matthew in jeans and a polo shirt, about to head out to meet the Andrade family at their clinic.Andrade family = Jacqueline.“I can’t believe you’re falling for the siren’s song again!”“What siren’s song?” Matthew recalled the last argument as he tied his sneakers. “It was Walter who called me this time.”“And I’m just supposed to believe Jacqueline the Siren had nothing to do with it this time?” Elaine shot back, oozing sarcasm.Matthew was running out of patience. “Sweetheart, maybe I didn’t explain myself clearly. Charles Andrade, my best friend’s father, is sick, and the family is desperate. If they called me, it’s because they need my presence — my support.”“Oh, you mean you’re going to go comfort the bride-to-be?” Elaine had no interest in reason, just in letting her jealousy explode.“Jacqueline has her fiancé to comfort her,” Matthew replied dryly.“Great! Someone better remind her o
Chapter 1138 Charles Overdid It at Dinner
Matthew was comfortably reading on the couch in the master suite of the Sterling Mansion. He wore a robe and sandals, focused on his hardcover book.Suddenly, Elaine BURST IN furiously after yet another argument with her in-laws.Matthew rolled his eyes and turned to her, sighing. “Darling, at this rate, we’re never going to have a baby.”Elaine slumped into his gamer chair, fuming. “Isn’t that what your parents want? For me to miscarry so I’ll divorce you?”“Why do you keep thinking like that?” Matthew closed the book and set it on his lap. “How many times do I have to say I want you as my wife and the mother of my children?”“Children, plural?” Elaine was taken aback. “You want more? Why? So they can fight over inheritance and the company presidency, like you and Nathan did?”Matthew pressed his lips together. Elaine was impossible today. “No one’s going to fight like Nathan and I did. I’ll write everything down and assign each of our kids a role. Of course, the oldest will likely b
