Nathalie Quinlan followed Jaycent Kingsley towards the villa while casually sending a WhatsApp ssage.
[QN: Just arrived, about to go see the patient.]
After sending this ssage, she put her phone on silent mode and put it away in her pocket.
...
With Jaycent leading the way,
Nathalie quickly arrived outside the patient’s room.
Outside the room.
Kenzie Nabours, Yuni Davidson, and the Moore Family’s butler were all there.
The few people were waiting for them to arrive.
When everyone saw Jaycent leading a girl over, they instantly perked up, almost all reacting simultaneously, looking towards Jaycent’s direction—
However, whether it was Kenzie or Yuni and the old butler, they only glanced at Jaycent before eagerly looking past him at the person following behind.
Young!
Very young!
That was the first impression Kenzie and the old butler had of Nathalie Quinlan.
The old butler furrowed his brow and suspiciously looked behind the girl, as if expecting soone else.
But to his disappointnt, there was no one else.
Just Jaycent and Nathalie.
"Is the miracle worker from McKinney really this young?" he murmured.
The voice wasn’t loud.
Probably only Kenzie and Yuni beside him could hear it.
Yuni also saw the girl and was less surprised, a bit more composed, "Jaycent said she’s the owner of those pills from the black market. If she can make dicine like that, we have to trust her."
Kenzie’s expression was complex, but he didn’t say much, his voice deep, "Even if we don’t believe, Marcella can’t wait. We’ll just try, no matter how slim the chance. What if..."
When he said "what if," his voice was full of bitterness.
The bitterness made Yuni involuntarily glance at him, then withdraw her gaze with a sigh, her thoughts drifting away, feeling a bit lancholic.
Her marriage was like stagnant water, devoid of any bond beyond profit.
If she were sick.
It’s unlikely that Lynn Kingsley would ever be as anxious and desperate as Kenzie was for her.
There was never such affection between them.
Yuni only felt a fleeting sadness, quickly adjusted, and consoled him, "I’ve t Jaycent’s friend. Quite the surprise, she is. Don’t be too pessimistic; maybe there will be a miracle."
"Hmm." Kenzie smiled slightly, with elegance and warmth, looking towards the two approaching people, especially the girl at the end, hoping from the bottom of his heart, "If there’s a miracle... I’ll do anything to thank that healer."
While the two were talking,
Jaycent had already brought her in front of them.
Jaycent greeted the two.
The butler also greeted him respectfully.
Jaycent then looked up and asked Yuni, "Where’s my aunt?"
"Your aunt took her dicine and is sleeping," Yuni, who had been staying at Kenzie’s to take care of Marcella Davidson, responded gently, then looked at the girl behind him and said, "Jaycent, do you want to let your friend rest for a bit? She just arrived, she must be tired. We could make so tea and sit for a while..."
Seeing the woman who shared so resemblance to Jaycent showing a friendly expression, Nathalie pursed her lips, adjusted the single shoulder bag on her back, and declined briskly, "No need, let’s see the patient first."
Jaycent knew she was quite busy and not fond of long-winded occasions, so he didn’t delay.
He inford Kenzie and led Nathalie towards Marcella Davidson’s room...
