Vivian Quinn didn’t deny it. "Professor York, it’s a long story."
"Then don’t say anything," Hugh York said calmly. "I can’t offer any advice on you young people’s romantic entanglents. I just hope you’ll be happy, Vivian, and that Mason Landon will be happy too. As long as you can both find your own happiness, that’s all that matters."
"Thank you, Professor York."
"Good. I’m proud of you both."
"Yes."
As Vivian Quinn left the office, she received a call from Shane Shaw.
"What’s up? I was just about to head ho."
"Boss, Rachel Quinn is looking for you."
"Rachel Quinn?" Vivian Quinn hadn’t heard that na in so long she found it a bit strange. "Isn’t she supposed to be at ho on bed rest? Why is she looking for ?"
"Uh, to be precise, she’s looking for the Phantom Healer. She’s about to lose the baby and wants you to save the pregnancy. I rejected her outright. How could you possibly treat soone like her?"
Vivian Quinn thought for a mont before saying, "I can treat her."
"Boss, what are you saying?"
"Saving a life brings more rit than building a seven-story pagoda. I hate her, but the little life inside her is innocent. With my master missing and Jett suffering from his chronic illness, saving one more life is a way for to accumulate good karma for them. Besides, I’m a doctor. Saving lives is what I’m supposed to do."
"Alright, I’ll accept on your behalf then. But Rachel Quinn is on bed rest at ho, so it has to be a house call."
"Okay. My foot’s healed now, so my disguise as a man should be convincing enough."
"Got it. I’ll make the arrangents."
...
The appointnt to treat Rachel Quinn was scheduled for the evening two days later.
Naturally, Vivian Quinn didn’t hide it from Jett Sterling. She told him directly, "I’m going to check on Rachel Quinn and I’ll be right back. You take care of Elle at ho."
"You’re going to the Grant Family’s estate to treat Rachel Quinn?"
"I heard she isn’t living with Ethan Grant, but with Austin Grant in their own marital ho."
"Be careful."
"Don’t worry, no one knows I’m the Phantom Healer." Vivian Quinn gave him a peck on the cheek. "I’m heading out now. I still have a lot of prep work to do."
"Alright."
Vivian Quinn got into Shane Shaw’s car and left, then switched to another vehicle at a discreet roadside location.
When the car arrived at the villa’s entrance, a maid ca out to greet them. "This way, please."
Vivian Quinn followed her inside. The villa was large but very quiet, with few people around.
The maid led them to a room on the second floor, where Rachel Quinn was lying in bed, resting.
"Ma’am, your guest has arrived."
"Miracle Doctor, you’re here." Rachel Quinn seed unable to get up. "My doctor told not to move, so I can’t get up to greet you. I’m so sorry."
"It’s no matter." Vivian Quinn’s voice was deepened to sound like a man’s. She walked straight to a chair by the window and sat down. "Let take your pulse."
Rachel Quinn wore no makeup. Her bare face was a stark contrast to her usual heavily made-up appearance, and coupled with her poor complexion, she looked even more haggard.
Vivian Quinn’s brow furrowed as she took the pulse. "The hospital’s diagnosis wasn’t wrong. It won’t be easy to save this pregnancy."
"How could this happen..." Rachel Quinn’s face was pale.
"Aren’t you clear on how this happened?" Vivian Quinn said coldly. "Excessive marital relations during the pregnancy."
Rachel Quinn looked mortified and said through tears, "Miracle Doctor, I’m begging you, please help save this child. I can’t lose this baby!"
Vivian Quinn took her pulse again and said, "I can only do my best. First, I’ll prescribe a few courses of Chinese dicine for you to drink. We’ll observe from there."
"Okay."
Vivian Quinn took out a pen and paper and wrote out a prescription. "Follow this prescription and drink it three tis a day. Half a month is one course of treatnt. If all goes well, you won’t have to stay in bed and should at least be able to get up and walk around a bit."
"Thank you so much." Rachel Quinn offered, "Miracle Doctor, please have so water first. I’ll have soone get your paynt."
"I won’t have any water. My assistant told you, right? I want cash."
"He did. I’ve already prepared it. It’s inconvenient for to get up, so I’ll have to trouble you to go get it."
"Fine."
Vivian Quinn followed the maid to a room on the first floor. The mont she stepped inside, she slled a strange odor!
Sensing sothing was wrong, she quickly covered her nose and mouth, grabbing the maid’s neck with her other hand. "What are you trying to do!"
The maid gasped for air, unable to breathe!
Just as Vivian Quinn was about to shove her aside and escape, an invisible tal gate slamd down over the doorway, trapping them in the room!
Rachel Quinn’s voice ca from a speaker on the wall. "My apologies, Miracle Doctor. This child is just too important to , and I have to save it. So, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay here for a while. As long as my baby is safe and sound, I will definitely let you go. On the other hand, if I can’t keep the baby, then I’ll have no choice but to have you buried with it!"
Vivian Quinn closed her eyes. ’I knew it. Rachel Quinn isn’t worthy of any sympathy!’
"Impressive thods, Miss Quinn. Since I’m here, I’ll make the best of it. It seems I have no choice but to stay."
With a THUD, Shane Shaw, who was beside her, collapsed to the floor. Even the maid crumpled and fell!
"The sedative gas is quite potent. As expected of the Miracle Doctor, to be able to withstand it." Rachel Quinn let out a soft laugh. "The room is fully stocked. You can eat sothing and get so rest."
Vivian Quinn ignored her, pulling a small vial from her pocket and holding it under Shane Shaw’s nose.
Shane Shaw quickly woke up with a loud sneeze.
"Bo—"
"Don’t talk," Vivian Quinn said, lowering her voice. "There are caras here."
"We’re trapped?" Shane Shaw quickly pulled out his phone. "There’s no signal!"
"Rachel Quinn obviously ca prepared. She wouldn’t let you make a call."
"Then what do we do?!"
"Calm down." Vivian Quinn was perfectly composed. "Jett Sterling will co for ."
"Oh."
The two of them sat down on the sofa to rest. Vivian Quinn even leisurely picked up a book and started flipping through it.
In her room, Rachel Quinn watched the two of them on the surveillance monitor, her brow slightly furrowed.
’Why does sothing about the Phantom Healer’s every move seem so familiar?’
’Almost two hours have passed, and they’re still so calm. It’s really abnormal!’
"Ma’am, the dicine is ready." A maid ca in with the brewed decoction. "You should drink it while it’s hot."
"I know." Rachel Quinn sat up carefully, picking up the bowl while continuing to watch the monitor.
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she slamd the dicine bowl in her hand onto the floor!
"Ma’am!" the maid cried out, startled. "What’s wrong?"
"Vi-vi-an... Quinn!" Rachel Quinn hissed through clenched teeth. "It’s Vivian Quinn! Go get the bodyguards and drag them both in here!"
"Yes, ma’am."
When the bodyguards burst in, Vivian Quinn knew she was in danger.
She was about to resist when she saw one of them pull out a gun!
Vivian Quinn had no choice but to surrender. Her hands were quickly tied behind her back, and she was taken to the master bedroom.
Rachel Quinn couldn’t hide her fury. "Rip the things off their faces!"
