CHapter 19


    Marcel’s eyes lit up!


    That’s right, Noe was one heck of a healer, and a darn good one at that.


    Now, his prescriptions were all penned by Noe herself, and she checked on him before every


    dose.


    With his precious granddaughter around, what could possibly go wrong for Sexton?


    The door to the hospital room swung open, and a few medical staff with masks stood at the


    entrance.


    “Mr. Marcel, Sexton has passed out, and we need to take him to the operating room now.”


    They obviously came prepared. Their faces were covered up tight, not letting anyone get a glimpse


    of who they really were.


    Marcel snorted coldly. “I’d like to see, with me right here, who dares to take Sexton away!”


    The medics were expressionless and spoke in a deep tone. “It’s crucial to take care of Sexton’s


    health. If something happens to him in your room, the Pock family will hold you ountable. and


    even you won’t be able to exin it away. Better hand him over to us.”


    Marcel was furious. “Bullshit! I’ve never heard of anyone daring to mess with me! Anyone who


    threatened me is six feet under in the old battlefield. You think you can too?”


    The medics were speechless. They exchanged nces, a silentmunication passing between


    them.


    The lead medic stepped forward, actually attempting toy hands on Marcel and forcibly take


    Sexton away!


    “Mr. Marcel, no offense, but Sexton’s condition is critical, and we must take him!”


    Noe’s needles swiftly

    Before the medics could get any closer, Sexton’s eyes snapped open. He kicked the leading doctor


    square in the chest with a heavy foot.


    “Get the hell away from me!”


    The doctor, caught off guard by Sexton’s sudden resistance, was holding a sharp little knife, its


    de glinting with a chilling light!


    Marcel sneered, “So it was Sexton you were after.”


    Guards that had been lying in wait under the bed sprang out, quickly apprehending the dazed


    medics.


    Noe was silent.

    Chanter


    When she was checking for bombs earlier, she had spotted those special forces soldiers hiding


    under the bed.


    It turned out they were lying in wait, ready to nab someone at the crucial moment.


    Sexton, just waking up, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and then passed out again.


    Noe spoke up, “Grandpa, Grandpa Sexton needs surgery to drain the hematoma. Let’s arrange


    the OR.”


    Marcel nodded,pletely trusting her judgment.


    “You go ahead. Leave the rest to me.”


    Whatever demons or monsters were left in the hospital, Marcel would take care of them!


    Three hourster.


    Noe removed her mask, havingpleted a heart surgery all by herself.


    Sexton was still unconscious, but out of danger.


    “Grandpa, I’m heading back. If Grandpa Sexton’s condition takes a turn, call me and I’ll be right


    over.


    Marcel looked at his granddaughter’s sweat–soaked clothes, his heart aching for her.


    Sexton was lucky indeed. If it weren’t for Noe, he might be ying chess with the Grim. Reaper


    by now.


    “Alright, you go on home. I’ll handle the hospital stuff. And those medics, I’ll take care of them!”


    Noe guessed that the pineapple bomb in Marcel’s room must have been the work of those bribed


    medics.


    Poisoning Sexton, nting a bomb in Marcel’s room – killing two birds with one stone.


    Seeing Noe’s concern, Marcel patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, there are cameras in


    my room.”


    Noe nodded, said goodbye to Marcel, and left the hospital.


    At the hospital entrance, Yvonne fussed over her clothes for a long time before walking in with a


    thermos in hand. She was determined to rack up enough brownie points in front of Sexton to let the


    old man see how perfect she was for the Pock family!


    She was the best daughter of the Schnabel family!


    When Yvonne pushed open the door to the hospital room, she saw Sexton lying on the bed with


    several tubes attached to him, appearing to be deep in slumber.


    “Grandpa Sexton? I’m Yvonne from the Schnabel family, and I’vee to see you!”


    Sexton slowly opened his eyes. “Yvonne?”


    Howe he remembered the Schnabel family’s granddaughter who was just with him not being


    this one?


    Yvonne nodded excitedly, setting the chicken soup she had prepared next to Sexton’s hand.


    “Grandpa Sexton, I made this chicken soup for you myself. It’s really good for your recovery!”


    She nced towards the door as she spoke.


    A crisp voice came from the entrance,den with an indescribable authority and dominance.


    “Who are you?”


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Palmer walked into the room, followed by a string of bodyguards. He had cleaned out the entire


    hospital’s medical staff!


    It was only because Marcel hadn’t left any room for those people toe inst time that they were


    hard to catch. So this time. Palmer had deliberately left a loophole, and with a thunderous strike, the


    Cerulean Whale would find it as hard as climbing to heaven to meddle with Imperial. West Hospital


    again!


    Yvonne looked at Palmer, the man in the ck suit with a rugged and handsome profile, hist every


    move exuding nobility. His tie was crisp, his gold–rimmed sses reflecting a cold light. radiating


    the aura of a king!


    “Mr. Pock, I’m Yvonne Schnabel. I’ve brought some soup I made for Grandpa Sexton.”


    Palmer’s expression was icy, and his gaze fell on the chicken soup in Yvonne’s hands.


    He frowned and said coldly. “Take your soup and get out.”


    Yvonne was stunned.


    How could he be so harsh to her?


    He definitely didn’t know that she was his fiancée! Once he found out, he surely wouldn’t kick. her


    out!


    After Palmer spoke, he didn’t spare another nce at Yvonne, who was clearly, out of ce in the


    room.


    “Grandpa, are you okay? I heard someone tampered with your medication. I’m sorry foring.


    late.”


    Sexton waved his hand, coughing several times and speaking weakly, “It’s okay, you can’t be


    around all the time. I know what’s going on. I had an episode just now, and I remember it was the


    Schnabel family’s granddaughter who saved me.”


    Sexton had just woken up, his mind a bit foggy, and he drifted back to sleep while talking to


    Palmer.


    Palmer carefully tucked him in, his gaze gentle, his sculpted features extra rugged, and his pupils


    held an unfathomable dark shimmer.


    UNMAN TO


    As Yvonne gazed at his profile, she could feel her heart going wild, thumping like crazy!


    The man in front of her was just too hot, a total package in looks and vibes–totally her match! And


    to top it off, he was the top dog on the elite entrepreneurs‘ rich list!


    Marrying into his world? Yvonne couldn’t even begin to dream how sweet life would be!


    Palmer looked up at Yvonne, furrowing his brows as he asked, “Why are you still here? 1 told you


    get lost.”


    Yvonne, with a coy look, softened her voice as she said, “Palmy, you know, we’re engaged…..


    haven’t you forgotten? I’m the granddaughter of the Schnabel family, the only grandchild my


    Grandma’s got. I’m your fiancéel”


    The only one?


    Just before, Sexton said it was the granddaughter of the Schnabel family who saved him.


    Palmer was emotionless, his gaze icy and indifferent. “So you’re saying you saved my granddad?”


    Yvonne nodded frantically!


    Sexton must’ve gotten it twisted; there weren’t that many granddaughters in the Schnabel family.


    ra’s over in Emerald County, so it couldn’t possibly have been that country bumpkin Noe who


    saved him, right?


    “It was me. I’m a student of Professor Calvin, and saving your grandpa was the least I could do. I’m


    willing to do anything to make you happy, Palmy…


    Palmer withdrew his gaze, nodding slightly.


    “Alright then, scram, and don’te back.”


    Yvonne was speechless.


    How could he do this to her!


    She had just told him she saved Sexton, and he still kicked her out?


    “Palmy…”


    Palmer, clearly annoyed, waved his hand and instantly a few bodyguards stepped up, grabbed


    Yvonne by the arms, and chucked her out.


    Yvonne stood in front of the hospital room, on the verge of tears, staring at the shut door. She’d


    definitely be back!


    Inside the room, Palmer was the picture of cool detachment.


    His secretary stepped forward, bowing slightly as she asked, “Mr. Pock, do you suspect


    something’s fishy with Ms. Schnabel?”


    Palmer massaged his temples, a predatory smile curling his lips.
