    She had initially struggled with her decision to target him.


    However, he had sent men to kill herst night. If their father-daughter rtionship meant nothing to


    Theo Yeager then why should she not bring herself to aim at him?


    She had never spent a single cent of his in her entire life, what more received a shred of his love. They


    had never even met. Their rtionship was one where each minded their own business and pretended


    the other never existed.


    After she had changed her clothes and gone out, she found a middle-aged stranger in the living hall.


    He was tall and had a refined, schrly air about him. There was a medical kit in his hands.


    “Vi, this is Dr. Zachary Gordon. Come and sit here so he can have a good look at your injuries,” Senior


    Yancey said fondly as he took her hand.


    Violet felt a little embarrassed. There were wounds all over her body.


    Zachary could tell just by one nce that she had sustained her injuries in a fight. He knew that there


    would be more than the wounds visible on her face.


    He did not question the source of the injuries to preserve her dignity.


    Zachary sat her down and checked her pulse before moving on to examine her pupils.


    Violet bit her lip, in full view of the doctor.


    Senior Yancey apanied her by sitting nearby. His heart ached to see the green bruise on the side


    of her lips.


    He was filled with worried. This could be his precious future granddaughter-inw! How could she be


    so badly hurt? It must feel very painful.


    “I’m prescribing you some pills and also a tube of paste. Apply it on your wounds once in the morning


    and once at night. They should heal in three days.” Zachary was done with the check-up. There was a


    gentlemanly smile on his face as he opened the medical kit.


    Violet was astonished. “Three days? Can the bruises on my face go away by then too?” He had not


    even seen the injuries on her body yet. Everything seemed to hurt. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    “Yup,” Zachary said confidently.


    He bade them goodbye after giving her the medicine and left.


    There were only Senior Yancey, Violet, and Zoey left in the living hall.


    “He is Zachary Gordon, a medical prodigy produced by a great family in Sayside City. He has invented


    many miracle drugs. through his own research. Believe in what he says. Just take the medicine and


    apply the paste on time and you’ll get better,” Senior Yancey encouraged her.


    “Thank you, grandpa.” Violet was very touched. Of course, she had not forgotten what Jack had


    warned her to do before he had left. She raised her head. “Grandpa, I’m afraid I have to go now.”


    “Go? Go where? Where can a youngdy like you go? What if Theo Yeageres after you again?”


    The old man was anxious. He looked at her sternly and gave an order, “You cannot leave! You will stay


    here. We can talk after your injuries have healed.”


    However… She would never see her mother again.


    “Grandpa, I can’t stay here.” Violet scrunched up her petite face and gave him a troubled expression.


    Senior Yancey seemed to understand immediately. He furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you afraid of Jack


    bullying you?”


    Violet met his eyes and nodded innocently.


    “Alright then. Don’t stay here.” Senior Yancey pulled her hand and smiled. “Come back with me to the


    old manor. It’s a quiet ce with a good view. Such good timing! I won’t be so bored with you around.”


    Violet nodded, she did not reject it.


    “Alright, then it’s happily settled. Let’s go.”


    Senior Yancey brought her out from the living hall. The chauffeur opened the car door for them. After


    they had gotten into the car, they were sent off by Zoey as the car drove out from the courtyard. Soon,


    they were out of her sight.


    The Yancey Group, in the president’s minimalist but deluxe office on the 22nd floor.


    Jack stood in front of the window wall. He held a cup of coffee in one hand whilst the other hand was in


    his pocket.

    He had just ended a conference call and signed a billion-dor deal.


    He had an eagle’s eye view of the bustling, prosperous city. This was how it looked during the day;


    crowds and cars everywhere in this concrete jungle of skyscrapers.


    This scene would be even more beautiful at night, would it not?


    It was a pity that he had never seen city lights in-person in person before. The brightness of the light


    outside this window at night was as good as pitch-ck darkness for him.


    His phone rang. Jack came back to his senses and picked up the call. “Dr. Gordon.”


    “Mr. Yancey, I’ve just left your house.” Zachary was still on his way back. “I think I need to talk to you


    about the girl’s condition. Her injuries are quite severe. She doesn’t have any broken bones, but there’s


    bone trauma.”
