Chapter 278 She’s the One

No young lady should have to bear a breadwinner’s burden. Life had been too hard on Wynter, who

should have grown up sheltered and

loved like a princess.

She shouldn’t have had to run around treating patients just to make ends meet. Nor should she have

been targeted by those despicable traffickers once more and taken back to that village in the

mountains.

Fabian’s hand trembled. He was in such a daze that he almost fell.

Thankfully, Wynter was quick to catch him and helped him stand upright. She swiftly took his pulse and

frowned when she felt it. “Did someone change the prescription I gave you?”

“No, no!” Fabian rasped in between coughs. Alexis and Ryan looked.

worried.

Wynter quickly popped a candy into Fabian’s m*uth and asked slow “Did you get rained on earlier on

your way here?”

The old man managed to catch his breath and nodded in respons

“Your breathing’s labored,” Wynter observed as she felt for his meridian points, She chuckled softly.

There was no mockery in it, only

comfort. “You have to learn to take it easy and try not to get caught in

the rain.

“You can’t abandon me now that you’ve found me, Grandpa. I’m still young, and there will be days

when you’ll have to stand up for me.”

That was obviously a white lie told to reassure and comfort Fabian.

Wynter didn’t need anyone to stand up for her.

Alexis, who had come with Fabian, couldn’t resist giving Wynter another look after hearing what she’d

said. Alexis had heard from Ryan about the way Wynter treated her patients.

It was only after witnessing it in person that Alexis realized how good she was at putting her patients at

ease. She was kind to Fabian for no other reason than to cheer him up.

Sure enough, Fabian was stunned by her words at first, but he broke into a grin soon after. “Oh, I

wouldn’t abandon you. Don’t worry, little princess! I have plenty of gifts saved up for you at home.

“I can’t wait for you to go back and see them. I won’t let those rascal brothers of yours take any of it!”

“Well, in that case, you ought to rest up and get better,” Wynter chided playfully. “You have to follow

your doctor’s orders and take your prescription. No angry outbursts too, all right?”

Fabian guffawed. “All right, I’ll listen to you. I promise I’ll take n

medicine as instructed and I won’t have any more angry out

With Wynter by his side, Fabian didn’t mind swallowing that bitte medicine. He might even put up with

seeing his bratty grandsons

every once in a while.

Suddenly, he was reminded of Dalton’s presence. His attention turn to the young man as he asked,

“What are you doing here? Didn’t yo

say you wanted to call off the engagement?”

That was fine by Fabian, who was happy to keep Wynter by his side for a while before letting her

marry.

With her fine looks and medical prowess, he doubted she would have a hard time finding a boyfriend.

Besides, he had yet to know her preferences when it came to men.

Dalton was an excellent candidate, the finest in all of Sarzoda City. However, a young man like him

would have plenty of women fawning at his feet, and he might have been cocky because of it.

Fabian would eliminate anyone who didn’t love Wynter with all his heart. She deserved a man who

would give her the moon if she asked

for it!

Fabian only had his precious granddaughter’s best interests at heart.

Until now, he was convinced that no man in this world could ever be

worthy of Wynter.

Meanwhile, this was the first time Dalton understood what a dilemma

felt like. He was seriously kicking himself for calling off the

engagement.

However, it was a well-known fact in Kingbourne that Dalton ha

rather dark sense of humor.

The next second, he let out a low chuckle as he met Wynter’s gal His dark eyes were like a depthless

sea. He mused in his husky, attractive voice, “I’m still yours in the end.”

Fabian’s brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”

Dalton explained, “You should know I’ve always had feelings for Dr. Genius.”

Fabian fell speechless. He had indeed known about this. But Dalton had certainly never brought it up!

“No wonder Mr. Munoz had told me to make Ms. Quinnell my betrothed when we were both children,”

Dalton continued in

amusement. “Mr. Quinnell Senior, the great fortune-teller himself had predicted that I would fall in love

with someone.”
