Alice and Felicia did not know each other well. Besides, the one Alice liked was Gwendolyn, so she felt
guilty for sitting and chatting with Felicia right now.
Alice stood up and said, “I'll get something from upstairs. Fel, you stay here and keep Hector
company.”
“All right. Don't worry, Old Mrs. Lowen. I'll take good care of Old Mr. Lowen,” Felicia said as she
nodded.
Felicia was willing to do anything to leave a good impression when she came to the Lowen residence.
Hector's face darkened, and he became upset when he saw Felicia.
The housekeeper and the nurse noticed that, but they did not dare to say anything, so they just looked
on.
Felicia handed him a cup of tea and asked, “Old Mr. Lowen, do you want to have some tea? I'll help
you.”
She was slightly disappointed when Hector turned his face away and refused to drink. Dad said Old Mr.
Lowen likes me, but why do I not feel that? Old Mr. Lowen looks annoyed whenever I'm here, and I
think he hates me. Am I imagining things? Probably! After all, he used to be an influential figure. Unlike
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnormal people, he conceals his emotions well.
Felicia felt better after she thought about it that way.
Then, she smiled at Hector and said, “Old Mr. Lowen, how about I come and keep you company every
day?”
Since he likes me, I should be around him every day so that he would like me even more! Then, he
would urge Patrick to marry me, and I could finally be married into the Lowen family! I could finally
embarrass Gwendolyn once I become Mrs. Lowen!
She was overjoyed as she imagined the scenario in glee.
Suddenly, her phone rang. There was a diamond around her finger, and her long manicure looked
beautiful.
However, she looked like a witch in Hector's eyes. Why do you even keep such long fingernails? It
must be so hard to use the bathroom!
People like Hector thought a woman's hands should be kept clean and simple.
Felicia looked at her phone and realized that it was a message from one of her friends, Catherine
Hooper.
Catherine texted: Fel, my dad can cure the condition that you mentioned. You should bring him over for
my dad to have a look.
Felicia's eyes lit up as her fingernails danced across the phone. She had a hard time typing, but she
finally managed to type out a message.
She replied: Really? He can't move his legs right now, and his hands are not working well. He also has
trouble speaking, but he is still clear in the head.
Catherine: My dad is a professional practitioner. Acupuncture is his forte, and he has cured many
people with symptoms that you just described.
Felicia's eyes lit up in excitement when she read the message.
“Old Mr. Lowen, I have a friend that says her father can cure you. Why don't we go and visit him?” she
asked.
Hector's eyes also lit up in excitement. He did not really believe it, but he wanted to become well again.
Felicia could see Hector wanted to get well, so she asked Catherine to send her the address.
“Old Mr. Lowen, let's go over there right now!”
She turned to the housekeeper and said, “I'm bringing Old Mr. Lowen to see a doctor. All of you should
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcome along too.”
She knew it was impossible for her to bring Hector over by herself as she would not be able to bear the
responsibility if anything happened.
Right at that moment, Alice came out and asked, “Where are you all bringing Hector?”
Felicia walked up to Alice and showed her phone to the latter excitedly.
“Old Mrs. Lowen, my friend's father is a professional practitioner, and they have been professional
practitioners for five generations. She says her father can cure Old Mr. Lowen,” she said.
Alice refused to believe it and shook her head.
“Forget about it. You don't need to worry about Hector's condition,” she said.
Then, she turned to the housekeeper and ordered coldly, “Bring Hector to his room.”
Felicia became anxious, but the housekeeper and the nurse had already pushed Hector into the house.
She strained her neck and looked at Hector in desperation.
“Old Mrs. Lowen, why don't you also head over and have a look? Isn't it a good thing if the doctor can
really cure Old Mr. Lowen?” she asked.
Alice had lived a long life, and she was a wise woman.
If the doctor can really cure Hector, why hasn't Patrick visited him already?
Alice only trusted Patrick right now, and she refused to trust anyone else. She wanted Patrick to
research thoroughly as she would never put Hector at risk again.
