Chapter 4: My Fabulous Girl Boss By Evergreen Chapter 3

Chapter 3

“Dad!” Liam was appalled. Had his father lost his mind!? He was asking Sadie to marry this unknown

young man!? He quickly spoke up. “Sadie’s marriage is the most important affair in our family. It

mustn't be decided so simply!” Hugh frowned. “Kayson’s the best person. Do you have an opinion?”

Liam scowled. “No, I just think it's too rash...” Hugh ignored Liam and looked at Sadie. “Sade, you're

not listening to Grandpa anymore?” “Grandpa, I... I..." Sadie felt wronged and wanted to refuse, but

she feared hurting her grandfather since his health was already deteriorating. “It's decided then.

Don't you worry, Sade. Grandpa won't lie to you.” Hugh did not want to say more as he moved his

legs, looking like he was going to prop himself up. The action caused the needle that Kayson had

flicked to his calf to angle away from its position, thus causing Hugh's expression to fall as pain

consumed him. He paled instantly with fat droplets of sweat dotting his forehead. The change

distressed Sadie and her parents. “Grandpa! What's wrong?” Sadie was so anxious that she teared

up. “I promise, I'll get married to him. Don't scare me like this!” “Dr. Ewell!” Liam called out in panic.

Dr. Ewell went up to check Hugh again, and his composure cracked. “H-How? Mr. Wolfenden Sr.'s

energy flow is disrupted!” This was not what he was expecting! After all, he had estimated that it

would at least be six hours before Hugh woke up again. He fumbled for another round of

acupuncture, but no matter what he did, things did not get better for Hugh as he coughed blood.

“Dad!” Liam and Beatrice were frightened. If it were not for the inappropriate timing, Liam would

have shouted and questioned Dr. Ewell. Sweat was trickling down the physician's forehead as he

kept attempting, but it was in vain. Hugh then had a violent seizure as if he had an epileptic shock.

“I'm s-sorry... I... There's nothing I can do...” Dr. Ewell looked white. At that moment, Kayson spoke

up. “Dr. Ewell, you can try needling the acupoint on Mr. Wolfenden’s inner wrist first.” “Shut up!”

Liam growled, “This is not the place for you to speak!” Sadie glared at Kayson as well. “Stop this

nonsense! Dr. Ewell's been a physician for decades. Could he know less than you?” Kayson retorted,

"He's dying, anyway, and Dr. Ewell probably doesn’t know where to start. Just give it a try!” “Say that

again, and I'll rip your mouth off!” Sadie sprang up. Her expression was icy even when her pretty

face was stained with tear tracks. Dr. Ewell clenched his jaw and pushed a needle into the pressure

point on Hugh's inner wrist like Kayson had mentioned. Surprisingly, the convulsing Hugh

eventually calmed down. “This...” Dr. Ewell was astonished. It actually worked! The old man

suppressed his shock and humbly asked Kayson, “Young man, where do I needle next?” The scene

stunned the Wolfendens, and they quieted down. Even Sadie was staring at Kayson in surprise.

Kayson nodded upon seeing that Dr. Ewell was accepting his opinion. “The second one below the

belly button, the third one on the outside of the knee...” Following Kayson's instructions, Dr. Ewell

pushed five needles into the acupuncture points, and Hugh was now lying on the bed, breathing

rhythmically. Dr. Ewell was overwhelmed with surprise as he turned to Kayson and exclaimed,

“Thank you for your advice, young man!” If it were not for Kayson, his reputation would have been

ruined today. Liam and Sadie were baffled. It worked!? Kayson smiled. “You're welcome, as long as

he's saved.” Dr. Ewell was immensely grateful to Kayson. If he had failed to save Hugh, he would

have been doomed for the rest of his life. Dr. Ewell—full name, Zachary Ewell—was a bona fide

famous miracle doctor. Many of those with wealth and power sought treatment from him. Sadie and

her parents had personally visited the physician's Bwell Therapeutics to ask him for a house visit

today. Zachary turned to the Wolfendens. “I'm really sorry for today. Thank goodness for Kayson

here, or I might have caused Mr. Wolfenden Sr.'s demise!” “Dr. Ewell, that's too grave a claim!”

Needless to say, Liam dared not blame the doctor. The mood in the room turned slightly awkward

until Kayson's stomach growled. Beatrice, who seemed a little worn out, cracked a smile. “You must

be hungry, huh, Kayson? I'll go make something for you to eat.” It was apparent that she was

genuinely worried about Hugh's health. “Thank you, Mrs. Wolfenden,” Kayson replied. Zachary was

too embarrassed to stay here and made up an excuse to leave, giving his business card to Kayson

before that. Liam's attitude softened as he asked Kayson, “You studied medicine?” Kayson nodded.

“My mentor has taught me a little.” “Your mentor is...” Kayson shook his head. “He doesn't let me

speak of his name.” “Right, I won't ask then.” It was as if Liam had forgotten how he had treated

Kayson earlier as he asked, "How long till my father wakes up?” “It's a nap, so around three to four

hours.” All of them went downstairs to help themselves with what Beatrice had prepared. Sadie did

not look too delighted as she glared at Kayson icily from time to time. She found the man annoying

no matter how she looked at him. Three hours later, Hugh woke up as expected. The first thing he

said after regaining consciousness was for Sadie and Kayson to get married. This time, Sadie did not

refuse, no matter how reluctant she was. Even Liam did not object while Beatrice stayed silent. She

seemed happy with Kayson, always smiling whenever she looked at him. That night, Kayson was

given a guest room to sleep in. The next morning... Hugh could already get out of bed and woke up

Kayson and Sadie around 7:00 a.m. to urge them to go for their marriage registration. Kayson was

helpless. What was his mentor thinking? How could something as unbelievable as “marrying

someone's granddaughter as repayment of a favor” happen!? Kayson had thought that Hugh would

dismiss him and make him leave with the exchange that he had saved the old man’s life, but the old

man said nothing about it. Kayson’s mentor had not mentioned how big a favor he owed Hugh

back in the years, so there was no way Kayson could bring it up now. He could only marry Sadie.

The arrangement was probably made prior to this because the process of their marriage registration

was swift. With the stamp of certification, Kayson and Sadie became legal husband and wife. Sadie,

who had been reluctant yesterday, did not seem as opposed now, but Kayson understood why soon

enough. As they left the City Hall, Sadie looked at him coldly. “The marriage certificate is fake. I

hope you don't tell Grandpa for the time being. His health is not doing great at the moment. He'll

definitely get worse with how angry he gets if he finds out the truth!”
