Chapter 11 They Are Family
There was no time to think-another quarrel was about to break out again. Penny's furious voice rang
out loudly, âWatch what you say! Are you cursing my grandpa to die? Someone, drag her out!â The
bodyguards standing outside prepared to rush in upon hearing those instructions. âStand down!"
Silas shouted. Then, the entire room fell silent suddenly. Everybody turned to look, and Camila
followed suit. When she saw Silas, even the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably. Why is this
man here? To run into the devil at this crucial moment; d*mn it! Arenât I too unlucky? Seeing that it
was Silas, Penny hurried over to him. âSilas, you came back at just the right time! Jade found a
woman from God knows where and insisted on letting her treat Grandpa! She speaks so rudely and
has such an arrogant attitude! More importantly, she cursed Grandpa to die!â Camila burst out
laughing upon hearing those words. âExcuse me, miss. Your comprehension skills are so very
worrying. Did you study language under a gym teacher?â As she spoke, she turned around and
looked at Jade. âI'm sorry, Mrs. Hunter. It looks like Old Man Nolan and I do not have any fate
between us. I'm afraid I canât help you with this. Please, find somebody else to help you.â However,
Jade grabbed her and stopped her from leaving. âPlease don't leave, Miss Brooklyn.â Looking at
Silas, she pleaded, âSilas, Landon specially invited Miss Brooklyn here. He claims that she is very
skillful in medicine! Please, just let her have a try! Shouldn't we grab at the glimmer of hope we have
for a chance at treatment? It's still better than performing surgery, isn't it? At his age, if the old man
undergoes surgery, he wouldn't be able to survive the process!â âSince when has Landon ever done
anything that can be trusted? Did you forget why he was punished by Silas to never return from
overseas?â Penny sneered.
Jade ignored her. Instead, she focused all her efforts on trying to persuade Silas. âSilas, Landon is
more often unreliable than not. However, he would never take anything related to his great-
grandpaâs life lightly.â . On the other hand, Silas glanced at Camila, then glanced down at the little
boy staring up at him quietly. After that, he recalled the arrogant four-syllable word he saw this
morning-unrepentant. All of a sudden, he felt that perhaps he needed to reacquaint himself with
this mother-and-son pair again. Thus, he stepped forward suddenly. Walking toward her, he
stopped in front of her and asked in a deep voice, âAre you certain you can cure my grandpa?â It's
his grandpa?! He and Landon are family! Camila didnât show anything outwardly, but she cursed at
Landon in her heart. Lifting her head, she smiled confidently and
said to him, âMr. Nolan, you can choose not to believe me. I can also pretend that I never came here
in the first place. If you are suspicious of me, just don't allow me to approach Old Man Nolan. You
and your family do not need to be so wary of me!â
This woman's attitude is as arrogant as ever. Thus, Silas narrowed his eyes dangerously and sized
her up. Normally, most people would find it unbearable to be stared at by him in this manner.
However, this woman was as calm as could be, acting as if she didn't even feel his gaze on her. All of
a sudden, Silas withdrew his gaze. Glancing at his grandpa lying inside, he said, âLet her treat him.â
She smiled, secretly thinking in her heart, Hah, you little twerp! You finally fell into my trap!
âPresident Nolan, please don't force yourself. I only came here because Landon asked me to. If I
knew you were involved, I would never have come. Seeing as you have such an amazing doctor with
a doctorate in medicine, I won't take up your time anymore.â Then, she took the little boy's hand
and turned to leave.
South sighed in frustration, then he muttered softly, âSeriously, what good would angering Mommy
do?â After saying that, he followed after Camila and walked out.
"Wait-"
