Chapter 132


    Previously, she could ignore his plight, as she had no idea about their history.


    She only found out everything as Glen recounted the entire incident to her. He was reminiscing about


    the past and did not mean anything else, but she had to do something.


    There was no way she could pretend nothing had ever happened and gloss over it.


    If Old Mr. Chivers hadn''t offered a helping hand, Granny would''ve frozen to death on the streets, and


    Mother would''ve died when she was still a child. He saved their lives. Granny and Mother couldn''t


    repay him, so I can''t just forget about it. This is the best opportunity for me to repay his favor. But I can''t


    hold a scalpel!


    Sensing her sadness, Glen stroked his beard and chirped, “Bay, don''t take it to heart. I was reminded


    of your granny and got overwhelmed with emotions. At this age, nothing matters to me anymore. The


    longer I live, the more torturing it is for me. I want nothing more than to be reunited with my partner.”


    Bailey''s lips curled as she shed an assuring smile. “You look like you can live till a ripe old age. You


    should be at ease and stay happy every day. You''ll get to recover one day.”


    Hearing that, Glen burst outughing. “Everyone else resorted to different ways to console me, and


    honestly, I''m bored of it. Your way offorting me is quite interesting. All right, there''s no need to


    comfort me. I can''t even find someone who can operate on my cranium, so there''s no way I''ll live till a


    ripe old age.”


    Bailey went quiet. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    As the mood turned tense, Gwendolyn immediately tried to liven things up. “Looks like the saying ''birds


    of a feather flock together'' is right. Your granny and mother had a history with the Chivers family, so


    you''re meant to marry my son. If you want to repay the favor, then marry into the Chivers family and


    make your grandpa happy by being a filial granddaughter-inw.”


    Glen pped his thigh and eximed, “That''s right. Bay, marry Eddy as soon as possible so I can get a


    granddaughter-inw while I''m still alive. That way, I can tell your granny all about it when we reunite


    one day.”


    Tears threatened to spill out of Bailey''s eyes when she heard his words.


    She trusted Glen, for why would he lie to her? It would only take an investigation to confirm the facts.


    Old Mr. Chivers must be friends with Granny. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have remembered her for that


    long. I can''t ignore his plight.


    Her determined gazended on her right wrist.


    Perhaps I can give it a try. I have to take a chance to repay this huge favor.


    Jolting up from the couch, Bailey gave Glen a hasty bow and told him, “Old Mr. Chivers, I just


    remembered I have an urgent matter to deal with. I''m afraid I can''t join you for lunch this noon. Should I


    come over at night to keep youpany?”


    Hearing that, Edmund rose to his feet. “What''s wrong? Did something happen?”


    Bailey dug Edmund''s car keys out of his pocket. Arching a brow, she uttered, “Lend me your car. You


    should spend time with your grandpa on behalf of me at home. I''ll be here in the afternoon. Don''t ask


    me where I''m going or what I''m going to do. I''ll exin everythingter.”


    Having said that, she hurried to the door.


    Edmund wanted to go after her, but Glen stopped him. “She said ''at home,'' so that means she thinks


    we''re family. Eddy, that''s all I can do for you. You need to do the rest yourself.”


    Halting in his tracks, Edmund kneeled before Glen and grinned. “Thank you, Grandpa. If you hadn''t


    revealed the history between you and her granny that happened decades ago, she wouldn''t have


    epted me and the Chivers family whole-heartedly.”


    Turning to Gwendolyn, he asked awkwardly, “Mom, does she sound like a wife giving orders to her


    husband earlier?”


    “What a fool,” Gwendolyn chided jokingly. “You''ll be a groom soon. I''m certain about it.”


    After leaving the residence, Bailey strode toward the parking lot.


    She got into the car, started the engine, and gave Veronique a call.


    “Vero, you have ab in Hallsbay, right? Can you bring me there? Is there an operating table here? I''d


    like to give it a try.”


    Caught by surprise, Veronique quickly regained herposure and replied, “Sure! It''s at 38, Bison


    Street. You can try operating on animals.”


    “Mm. Don''t tell anyone about this.”


    “Got it. Bay, you''re amazing. I know you can do it.”


    “Really? I hope so.”


    An hourter, Bailey arrived at 38, Bison Street.


    It was an inconspicuous shop lot with a pharmacy signboard hung above the door. Veronique was


    waiting for her outside, leaning on the doorpost.


    After parking the car, Bailey unbuckled the seatbelt and got out of the car.


    Before Veronique could say a word, Bailey told her, “Let''s talk inside.”


    “Sure.”


    The pharmacy might look inconspicuous on the exterior, but stepping inside would reveal more than


    meets the eye.


    “Did youbine a few shop lots into one? This is big.”


    Shrugging, Veronique revealed, “The entire row of shop lots belong to the Revelle family, so Ibined


    all of them into one.”


    Bailey was rendered speechless.


    She''s indeed a daughter of a prestigious family. What a remarkable move.


    Veronique brought her to the innermost room.


    Rows of equipment and racks of bottles appeared in sight.


    Bailey nced around the room before her gazended on the operating table in the middle of the


    room.


    One nce was enough for her head to start spinning.


    The bloody scene popped up in her mind and reyed again and again.


    Her legs trembled violently. It was as if a pail of ice-cold water had been dumped on her, for she felt


    completely cold inside and out.


    Sensing the change in her emotions, Veronique hesitated briefly before pushing her to the operating


    table.


    “Bay, give it a try. You''ll find out if you''re capable ofpleting a surgery if you try it out. If you


    seed, then Old Mr. Chivers is extremely lucky. If you fail, no one can me you for that.”


    Bailey allowed herself to be pushed forward as her mind had gone nk. Slowly, a scene appeared as


    the fog in her mind faded away.


    It was a snowy day. A youngdy d in tattered clothes was shuffling along the street, leaving behind


    a row of footsteps.


    She was hugging a child in her arms. Despite trembling violently from the cold, she hugged her


    daughter tightly and protected her well.


    That is...


    Bailey''s vision started to blur.


    Even though she had imagined that scene, it was exactly what Holly and Sophia had gone through.


    She could imagine how Holly fainted outside the Chivers residence with Sophia in her arms, and she


    could also picture how Glen saved them both.


    The Chivers family saved their lives.


    Granny, Mother, I''ll do my best to save Old Mr. Chivers. Please help me to ovee my fear so I can


    hold the scalpel once again.
