Chapter 530


    For a brief moment, Johnny stiffened, his expression frozen as ice. But his ability to adapt was sharp as


    a tack, and faced with Mirabe’s chilly demeanor, he swallowed the pleasantries he’d prepared. “I


    apologize for the intrusion,” he said, his tone stripped of any displeasure and insteadden with sincere


    contrition.


    Under normal circumstances, had anyone else spoken to him that way, he would’ve told them to hit the


    road without a second thought. But Mirabe… she was different, someone he couldn’t afford to offend.


    Delh and Shavn, standing by, exchanged a look of surprise. From the moment Johnny had walked


    through their door, the couple sensed that he was no ordinary visitor. Despite his polite attempts to


    keep it under wraps, he carried an air of authority. It was clear he was someone of importance.


    And now, this man was apologizing to their daughter… That was odd, indeed.


    Delh seemed poised to speak, but Shawn gently pressed her hand, giving her a look that said, ‘Not


    now, and shook his head slightly. She understood and settled back on the couch.


    Mirabe didn’t notice her parents‘ exchange of nces, her own gaze still fixed on Johnny. “If you


    need anything in the future, you can contact me directly.”


    Johnny caught her drift immediately. She probably didn’t appreciate him dropping by and involving her


    family.


    He let out a silent sigh of relief, grateful that he hadn’t said too much to the Davis family or revealed


    anything about the healing matters. Given Owen’s delicate situation, the less people knew about his


    illness, the better.


    “I failed to consider. Please don’t take it to heart, Ms. Mirabe,” he apologized once more, the


    politeness in his voice unwavering. “Sure,” Mirabe responded lightly, her tone softened by the


    presence of her attentive mother nearby. She couldn’t let her guise of the dutiful daughter slip.

    Feeling the slight thaw in her attitude, Johnny allowed himself to rx a fraction. While he could afford


    to be dismissive with the likes of the Reeves family, he knew that he had to be genuinely courteous


    with this young girl who held Owen’s health in her hands.


    Mirabe nced at the clock and then addressed Johnny again. “Do you have any other business?”


    Her intent to dismiss him was clear.


    “No, I just came to drop these off,” Johnny replied, pausing for a beat. He looked at Mirabe. “Would


    you be avable for another check–up in a couple of days?”


    Mirabe turned out to be surprisingly amodating. “That’s fine.”


    Hearing this, Johnny breathed a sigh of relief and then said, “We’ll be in touch then. I won’t keep you


    any longer. I should be going.” After a brief farewell, he nodded respectfully to Shawn and Delh, who


    were still seated, and quickly made his way out. Shawn, ever the polite host, stood and followed


    Johnny to the door, seeing him out with a courteous goodbye.


    Once Johnny had left, Delh turned back to her daughter and motioned for Mirabe to join her by


    patting the couch beside her. Mirabe, with a hand to her forehead, walked over and sat down.


    “Sweetheart,” Delh began, her curiosity piqued, “who is Mr. Johnny, and why did hee here to


    thank you?”


    He had mentioned his gratitude upon arrival but hadn’t borated on the reasons behind it. Delh had


    overheard something about a ‘consultation fee,‘ but the specifics of what that entailed were lost on her.
