Chapter 89The Origins of Lanthem Hospital
The housekeeper quietly took out Alina''s gift and showed it to Caitlin.
Caitlin immediately inspected the jade ornament. With a smile of relief, she quickly took out a stack of
cash from her bag and stuffed it into the housekeeper''s arms. Then, she grabbed Lucas and left in a
hurry.
The housekeeper watched them leave with a meaningful gaze.
Wilson had indeed predicted everything. It was no wonder that Lincoln favoured Wilson the most
among his three grandsons.
Besides, he was fond of Alina as well. At the very least, she truly respected Wilson''s grandfather. Her
gift was sincere, unlike the others who only wanted to please the old man.
Thinking of the Pines and Cranes jigsaw puzzle that had been sent up to Lincoln''s study, a kind smile
appeared on Uncle Kyree''s face.
After living for a long time, he had met all kinds of people. With a single nce, he could guess the
thoughts that people had and what kind of people they were.
Whether they were sincere or plotting a scheme, nothing could escape his discerning eyes.
He shook his head gently and put away the stack of cash.
Wilson had said that it would be a waste to reject these bribes. It would be better to distribute the

money to the servants working in the Scott family vi.
Caitlin pulled Lucas away and chuckled. "Lucas, we will be able to humiliate Alina in a while! With this,
there will be a chance for us to lower the stock prices of Scott Group and buy in immediately. Did that
b*tch think that she could get away with such a cheap gift that is only worth five digits? She must be
dreaming if she nned to win the favour of your grandfather! By the way, have you prepared enough
cash? Are all the funds avable to be deployed in time? It would be a shame if we manage to lower
the stock price but the cash is not ready yet."
Lucas smiled proudly. He took Caitlin''s hand and kissed it as he said, "Baby, the cash is ready at our
disposal. Yesterday, I had Colton transfer all the money for the project deposits into our bank ounts.
Anyway, we will be using it for a few days at best. Besides, Nancy managed to snag a huge production
deal with a famous director. The drama is more than 80 episodes long. She said that the money will be
credited by today."
Caitlin nodded. "Excellent. Everything would go smoothly as long as the money is avable. After a
while, we will make sure Alina is utterly humiliated as we put on a show. Have you arranged for the
reporters and paparazzi to sneak in?"
"Of course!" Lucas smiled arrogantly. "Everything has been arranged ording to n. When the time
Group''s president bought third-rate goods as a birthday gift!"
"Well, let''s go over and inform your parents. If the scene got out of control, they would back us up!"
Caitlin nodded with satisfaction.
"You''ve really thought of everything!" Lucas pulled Caitlin towards him and showered her with kisses
again.
Caitlin snorted at his public disy of affection.
The two of them walked hand in hand towards the lively crowd as if nothing had happened. To draw
attention, they put on a show as a couple deeply in love.
Lucas was the eldest grandson of the Scott Family. Obviously, he wouldn''t want Wilson to hog all the
limelight.
Wilson happened to be the opposite. He didn''t want to be disturbed at all.
He led Alina around the courtyard, chatting andughing along the way.
"Lina, Uncle Louis and Uncle Davian are my grandfather''s best friends. The friendship between the
three reputable families could be traced back to many generations ago. This was why I made sure to
introduce you to both of them."
"I see." Alina nodded as she thought about her future. She hoped that Rosie would still be by her side
and they could grow old together.
Wilson said with a smile, "Uncle Louis had a son and a daughter. He also had an adopted son, whose
daughter is Caitlin, Lucas''s girlfriend. However, her status is awkward because she is also the daughter
of a mistress and born out of wedlock. Therefore, Uncle Louis had never acknowledged her position as
her granddaughter.
"No wonder." Alina nodded as she remembered what Wilson''s sister had mentioned that day.
Wilson continued his story, "Thewyer who helped Rosie get back her money was Uncle Brooks''s
eldest grandson, Bet Brooks. He is the Scott Group''s legal representative."
"Oh." Alina nodded again. It was no wonder that he could get Rosie''s money back in such a short time.
As a member of the Brooks family and the legal representative of such argepany like Scott
Group, he would have a few tricks up his sleeve.
Wilson moved on to the Taylor family. "The Taylor family isrger than the Brooks family. However,
among Uncle Davian''s grandchildren, Bill is the only one who is interested in medicine. Therefore,
among his many grandsons, Uncle Davian has the highest expectations for Bill as his favourite
grandson."
"What? Bill is Uncle Davian''s grandson?" Alina was pleasantly surprised when she heard the name of
an acquaintance.
She suddenly had a feeling that the world was so small! Somehow, everyone around her seemed to be
rted.
Wilson looked at Alina''s surprised expression and gave her a profound smile. "Did you know how
Lanthem Hospital came about?"
"I don''t know!" Alina raised her head to look at Wilson with a pout. She shook her head. How would she
know that?
If she hadn''t met him, their worlds would have never collided. Alina probably wouldn''t have known
about these things for the rest of her life.
Wilson looked at Alina and scratched her nose.
"Uncle Davian''s wife was actually one of the daughters of the Brooks family. The Brooks family was
already wealthy at that time but Uncle Davian was just a young, nameless doctor. The couple fell in
love and of course, the elders of the Brooks family disapproved of their rtionship. However, Ms.
Brooks insisted on selling her jewellery, clothes, and essories to support his studies overseas in
Ennd."
"And then?" Alina was truly curious about this story.
Wilson continued with a smile, "Later, the Brooks family learned that she had supported Uncle Davian
financially to study abroad. At that time, most wealthy men had many wives and concubines. Their
offspringpeted with each other so that they could get more of the family''s inheritance. Ms. Brooks
was ridiculed and mocked for her actions. Her familyughed at her for being such a fool. To them,
supporting Uncle Davian to study overseas was no different from throwing pearls to the pigs.
"Ms. Brooks was taunted so much that she was confined to her home. After persevering for many
years, Uncle Davian finally returned back to the country. The first thing he did was to start a hospital in
her name, which is now the Lanthem Hospital. Back then, it was rare to see such an urrence in a
patriarchal society.
"The second thing Uncle Davian did was to marry Ms. Brooks. He held a grand wedding with avish
ceremony that made everyone green with envy.
"Lastly, Uncle Davian bought and redeemed all the jewellery, clothes, and essories that Ms. Brooks
had sold off to finance his studies."
When Alina heard this, her eyes were shining with wonder.
Wilson raised his eyebrows. "When Uncle Davian came back, the people who talked bad about him
had to eat their own words.
"Little did they know that Uncle Davian worked part-time at a medical clinic while he studied full-time
day and night. Even though he was studying abroad, he was not afraid of hardbour and worked at
the clinic diligently. Naturally, his boss saw his abilities and allowed him to work under him as an
understudy. Once Uncle Davian had the chance to treat patients, he became well-known for his skills
and managed to earn a fortune. Everything was just a matter of course!"
Alina nodded meaningfully. "You''re right. Uncle Davian worked so hard for his studies, he would
naturally find sess once the opportunity presented itself. In that era, it is a precious thing for them to
be able to persevere and bring their love to fruition. What a passionate love story!"
"Do you know why I told you this?" Wilson asked with a smile, looking at the envious look on Alina''s
face as he gently tweaked her nose again.
Alina shook her head and said honestly, "No. Why?"
Wilson smiled and exined to her, "Silly girl, I''m telling you this story is because I want to let you know
that as long as we really love each other, we can ovee any difficulty. Love conquers all problems.
In the olden times, even Uncle Davian and his wife could break through the traditional stereotypes and
finally live happily ever after. We can have that as well!"
Alina was touched. Her hand gripped his tightly when she heard Wilson''s words.
He continued, "If even a youngdy like Ms. Brooks can support Uncle Davian, what else can''t I do for
you? Therefore, as your husband, you only have to do one thing for me!"
Alina raised her head and looked at Wilson expectantly, waiting for him to tell her what she needed to
do.
Wilson replied as he fixed his gaze on her, "You have to trust me! Believe in me unconditionally! No
matter what happens, you must trust that I truly love you and believe that we will definitely be together
until the end of our lives."
"Okay." Alina nodded vigorously.
Wilson held her in his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head. He gently stroked her hair and
whispered softly, "Lina, I love you so much!"
Alina bit her lower lip shyly. She didn''t have the courage to reply that she loved him too, but happiness
filled her heart at his deration of love. The words echoed inside her over and over again. "S*umbag,
I love you too!"
Wilson said again, "Don''t worry about anything and don''t be afraid of anyone trying to stir up trouble.
Some troubles couldn''t be avoided just because you wanted to. If you have any problems, step up and
fight back. You don''t have to worry about the consequences as I will take care of everything. Don''t
to hold up the sky for you."
Alina was moved, but his words gave her a feeling that something wasn''t right. She looked up at him
and frowned. "Is something bad going to happen?"
Wilson nodded and said, "Yes, Lucas arranged for reporters to sneak in during the celebration. He
must be plotting something."
He thought that it was necessary for him to inform her about things like these. Since Wilson had
decided on Alina to be his wife until death did them part. Therefore, she was bound to face troubles
and adversity from his enemies in the future. It would be better to expose Alina to reality as soon as
possible so that she could be mentally prepared.
Alina''s mood became a little downcast. She felt miserable for Lincoln. How could his grandson plot to
create havoc during his grandfather''s 80th birthday celebration?
Wilson saw through her thoughts at a nce. He reached out to stroke her hair andforted her,
"Don''t worry, Lucas''s resentment is targeted towards me. Regarding Grandfather, he respects him and
is a filial grandson to him."
"Alright." Alina secretly hoped that this would be the case.
"Come on, Lucas will put his n into action soon. Let''s put on a show!" Wilson smiled as he thought,
"Lucas, show me what you''ve got."
