Under her gaze full of hope, Rupert closed his eyes speechlessly and could not give her a promise that he would
cure Erika.
Since the first as a medical student, he was taught that a doctor shouldn't give a patient a promise. Now, facing
such a strange case, he could not give a definite answer about Erika's illness.
As Rupert was deep in his thoughts, Sebastian answered, "She will be fine. If Rupert fails, I will find another expert
for her,"
Bonnie nodded and stopped asking more questions for she just wanted a promise in such a situation where Erika

When she was devoured by worry, Sebastian's promise brought her hope. At the same time, his words sent ripples
through her heart.
Bonnie stayed at the hospital to take care of Erika, while the other three children were sent home by Rupert.
Sebastian drove to the Mansion and then walked into Charles's house.
Striding into the house, Sebastian directly asked a cleaner, without looking for Charles, "Where does he usually keep
the chocolates?"
The maid thought for a moment and replied, "Chocolates are kept in a cupboard in the study."
Then, Sebastian headed toward the study. Unexpectedly, he was greeted with the scene where Charles, topless,
flirted with a woman sitting on his lap, with her clothes nearly taken off.
Startled, the woman hurriedly covered her breast and screamed in panic.
Though surprised at Sebastian's arrival, Charles pulled on the shirt thrown casually on the ground and did the
button. "Sebastian, what sent you hither?" He also got the woman out of the place.
Sebastian stared at him nonchalantly and replied coldly, "I come here for the chocolate."
"What?" Charles paused.
Sebastian repeated, "The chocolate you sent to my daughter."
Charles was flustered. "Does she want more chocolate? I'll send it to her in a few days."
Charles's facial expressions aroused Sebastian's suspicions. "Erika had a stomachache after eating the chocolate

Charles blinked and retorted decisively, with his hands on his wrist, "Sebastian, we are family members. You started
to suspect me?"
Then he fetched a piece of chocolate from the safe and gave it to Sebastian. "Here you are. You can investigate it
and find if I'm wronged in terms of the matter."
Then he added sullenly, "You'd better check the wrap of chocolate and investigate it together. Otherwise, I will be
accused of changing the package secretively."
Looking at the chocolate in his hand, Sebastian frowned. Just now, he was very suspicious of Charles's motives for
putting the chocolate in the safe because ordinary would never place chocolate, a snake, into the safe.
Sebastian set his mouth into a grim line facing the seemingly well-reasoned refutation.
