Chapter 557


    At this moment, Emmanuel had his back toward the door as he sang an


    off–tune version of the song “The Wind Rises” to udette. “The night breeze


    ruffles your silvery hair… You lower your head and say…” Despite hisck of


    vocal prowess, the song had an emotional impact.


    Then, Laura’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at her daughter, the


    one she loved more than any other, even though she wasn’t her biological


    offspring. She could tell that this was udette’s happiest moment. She has


    been saved!


    Despite her inability to speak, udette looked at Adolph and Laura and


    opened her mouth as if to call out to them.


    “The wind rises, and you must give it all you got to carry on!” Laura’s tears


    began to flow freely as she rushed over to udette and cried out.


    On the other hand, udette also had a weary, tearful smile.


    After that, Emmanuel stood up and turned around to look at Adolph. After


    1…


    locking eyes for a few seconds, he addressed a dumbstruck Adolph and said,


    “udette has regained consciousness, General, but she needs to rest


    before getting out of bed. Please make sure she has a peaceful environment


    to recuperate!”


    After hearing this, Adolph slowly–balled his fists. In the past, he yearned to kill


    Emmanuel, regardless of whether this man had used his daughter as a


    shield, and he knew that his daughter’s death resulted from her love for this


    man. Now, he finally understood why his exceptional daughter, who had a


    plethora of options, chose to fall in love with this ordinary man who had


    nothing to his name. He’s been hiding his true abilities all along. If he had a


    big dream, he could have easily amassed great wealth through his medical


    skills alone.


    “I’ll be leaving now, General Lenoir! I’m sure a man of your standing won’t go


    back on your word, right?” Emmanuel hurled those words and strode off


    without waiting for Adolph to respond.


    “Wait!” Adolph did not forbid him from leaving outright this time but simply


    told him to wait.


    However, Laura was secretly surprised by that. So, the proud General Lenoir


    finally recognized the young man’s abilities and authority.


    “Did you need something?” Without fear, Emmanuel turned around and


    looked him in the eyes.


    “I’m a man of my word! However, you must visit daily to care for udette


    until she gets back on her feet! If anything happens to her in the meantime, it


    will be on your head!” Adolph threatened him.


    Then, Emmanuel turned his attention to udette and observed that her


    eyes had be slightly brighter. “Fine!” He nodded, straightened up, and


    continued, “Still, I’m not doing it because of you. udette is a good friend of


    mine. I’m willing to take care of her until she fully recovers!”


    Adolph scoffed upon hearing this, and his eyes gleamed with anger.


    On the other hand, Laura was amused by their conversation. Wouldn’t it be


    wonderful if Emmanuel married udette? After all these years with the


    General, it’s my first time seeing a young man who isn’t afraid of him!


    Soon after, Emmanuel walked out of the room, and the crowd parted to let


    the young man walk while they stared at him in disbelief.


    They were too afraid to enter the room, so they couldn’t tell if udette was

    awake.


    Nheless, the fact that the young man can leave the room alive indicates


    that he did, in fact, save Ms. Lenoir! How did he do it?!


    “Haha! Emmanuel!” Juan swiftly came over to strike up a conversation.


    “You’re even more talented than I thought! It’s a pity that you’re no longer


    working at Beacon Hospital. Why don’t you drop by my house when you’re


    free? I’d love to learn a thing or two from you!”


    In the past, Emmanuel would have immediately declined the offer, but this


    time he nced at Rhea unconsciously.


    Her face flushed bright red when their gazes met, and she immediately


    jerked her head down to hide her embarrassment.


    After observing his daughter’s conduct, Juan smiled and added, “Despite


    Rhea’sck of medical expertise, her cooking is superb! It would be a shame if


    you did not try it!”


    Considering how well he and she had just coborated and given Juan’s


    courteousness, Emmanuel agreed and said, “Alright then. If it’s no trouble to


    you, Mr. Gomez, I’ll pay you a visit and seek your medical expertise!” It just so


    happened that he read a few things in the Ghost Doctor’s medical books


    about which he was unsure, and he figured he could ask Juan about them


    since Juan was an experienced doctor.
