Chapter 208
A few minutes passed, but Bob remained still. Esme’s hope slowly died while Marie cried her heart out.
Rowan was grief–stricken, and Travis was purely incensed. Travis could not care less about Bob’s life–all he cared about was
to make Esme
At that moment, Bob opened his eyes without warning, Esme was the first to notice, and she exclaimed excitedly, “Dad, you’re awake!”
The others quickly gathered around Bob, Rowan asked with concern, “Dad, how do you feel?”
“I feel fine,” Bob replied before sitting up in bed, much to everyone’s shock.
Esme broke down in tears of delight. “Dr. Wilder’s pill worked!”
his.
Travis snorted. “Don’t celebrate yet. How could that brat cure a patient that Dr. Monas failed to save? For what we know, he might be experiencing terminal lucidity.”
His remark reignited worry. Everyone urged Ezekiel to check Bob’s pulse once more. Ezeldel did so, and he put on a look of disbelief. “It’s a miracle!”
“Dr. Monas, what’s going on with my dad?” Esme inquired worriedly.
Astonished, Ezekiel replied, “Well, Mr. Bailey isn’t fully cured.”
Travis snickered. “See? I told you. You shouldn’t fall for the words of a fraud.”
The Baileys looked dejected. Suddenly, Ezekiel commented, “Mr. Bailey might not be fully cured, but his condition has stabilized. He’s doing much better than before, and he won’t suffer for the time being ”
“How is that possible?” Travis looked incredulous.
Esme was agitated when she heard Ezekiel’s diagnosis. “Dr. Wilder didn’t lie! His pill helped to stabilize Dad’s condition!”
“Where’s Dr. Wilder now?” Rowan quickly asked.
The smile froze on Esme’s face. “He’s left.”
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go after him!” With that, Rowan dashed out of the Balley residence, and Esme followed suit.
Thankfully, they found him waiting for a cab by the roadside. They tracked him down in no time and ran to him.
“Dr. Wilder, please stay!” Out of breath, Rowan called out to Sebastian.
Sebastian, however, ignored the siblings. He knew that Bob must have taken his pill..
Esme ran up to Sebastian with an apologetic look “Dr. Bailey, I gave your pill to my dad, and it worked like a charm. His condition has stabilized. I hope you’ll come with us and treat his illness. I beg of you.”
Rowan chimed in, “Dr. Wilder, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have questioned your qualifications. For that, I’ll apologize to you. I’ll agree to any conditions you set as long as you cure my dad’s illness.”
“I gave you a second chance, but you threw it away. Didn’t I tell you when I left? Don’t regret your decision.” Then, Sebastian prepared to leave.
At that moment, Rowan fell to his knees in front of Sebastian. “Dr. Wilder, I was wrong. Please give me another chance.”
Esme copied her brother and pleaded, “Dr. Wilder, please save my dad. We’ll fulfill any conditions you propose.
The Baileys, ranked second out of the ten great families, were of high social standing. Rowan and Esme were humbly begging for Sebastian’s help out of their love for their father.
Their filial action did not escape Sebastian’s notice. Because of that, he decided to give them another chance. “Get up now. I’ll give you another chance seeing as you’re good children.”
“Thank you, Dr. Wilder!” The siblings excitedly thanked Sebastian, who followed them back to Bob’s bedroom
Travis and Ezekiel hadn’t left the room. Ezekiel gaped when he saw Sebastian, and he blurted out, “Mento
Sebastian hurriedly hinted at him to shut up. Ezekiel held his tongue but remained deferential to his mentor. Meanwhile, Travis was enraged by Sebastian’s presence.
