Chapter 27
She had initially struggled with her decision to target him.
However, he had sent men to kill her last night. If their father-daughter relationship meant nothing to
Theo Yeager then why should she not bring herself to aim at him?
She had never spent a single cent of his in her entire life, what more received a shred of his love. They
had never even met. Their relationship was one where each minded their own business and pretended
the other never existed.
After she had changed her clothes and gone out, she found a middle-aged stranger in the living hall.
He was tall and had a refined, scholarly air about him. There was a medical kit in his hands.
“Vi, this is Dr. Zachary Gordon. Come and sit here so he can have a good look at your injuries,” Senior
Yancey said fondly as he took her hand.
Violet felt a little embarrassed. There were wounds all over her body.
Zachary could tell just by one glance that she had sustained her injuries in a fight. He knew that there
would be more than the wounds visible on her face.
He did not question the source of the injuries to preserve her dignity.

Violet bit her lip, in full view of the doctor.
Senior Yancey accompanied her by sitting nearby. His heart ached to see the green bruise on the side
of her lips.
He was filled with worried. This could be his precious future granddaughter-in-law! How could she be
so badly hurt? It must feel very painful.
“I’m prescribing you some pills and also a tube of paste. Apply it on your wounds once in the morning
and once at night. They should heal in three days.” Zachary was done with the check-up. There was a
gentlemanly smile on his face as he opened the medical kit.
Violet was astonished. “Three days? Can the bruises on my face go away by then too?” He had not
even seen the injuries on her body yet. Everything seemed to hurt.
“Yup,” Zachary said confidently.
He bade them goodbye after giving her the medicine and left.
There were only Senior Yancey, Violet, and Zoey left in the living hall.
“He is Zachary Gordon, a medical prodigy produced by a great family in Sayside City. He has invented
many miracle drugs. through his own research. Believe in what he says. Just take the medicine and
apply the paste on time and you’ll get better,” Senior Yancey encouraged her.
“Thank you, grandpa.” Violet was very touched. Of course, she had not forgotten what Jack had
warned her to do before he had left. She raised her head. “Grandpa, I’m afraid I have to go now.”
“Go? Go where? Where can a young lady like you go? What if Theo Yeager comes after you again?”
The old man was anxious. He looked at her sternly and gave an order, “You cannot leave! You will stay
here. We can talk after your injuries have healed.”
However… She would never see her mother again.
“Grandpa, I can’t stay here.” Violet scrunched up her petite face and gave him a troubled expression.
Senior Yancey seemed to understand immediately. He furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you afraid of Jack
bullying you?”
Violet met his eyes and nodded innocently.
“Alright then. Don’t stay here.” Senior Yancey pulled her hand and smiled. “Come back with me to the
old manor. It’s a quiet place with a good view. Such good timing! I won’t be so bored with you around.”
Violet nodded, she did not reject it.
“Alright, then it’s happily settled. Let’s go.”
Senior Yancey brought her out from the living hall. The chauffeur opened the car door for them. After

his pocket.

He had just ended a conference call and signed a billion-dollar deal.
He had an eagle’s eye view of the bustling, prosperous city. This was how it looked during the day;
crowds and cars everywhere in this concrete jungle of skyscrapers.
This scene would be even more beautiful at night, would it not?
It was a pity that he had never seen city lights in-person in person before. The brightness of the light
outside this window at night was as good as pitch-black darkness for him.
His phone rang. Jack came back to his senses and picked up the call. “Dr. Gordon.”
“Mr. Yancey, I’ve just left your house.” Zachary was still on his way back. “I think I need to talk to you
about the girl’s condition. Her injuries are quite severe. She doesn’t have any broken bones, but there’s
bone trauma.”
