Chapter 6 Visiting Father-in-Law

  • Paige frowned and shook her head, clearly displeased, but she reluctantly agreed.
  • "Grandpa Raven, I understood," she conceded.
  • "Mm, that's my good girl, Paige," Arlo responded warmly.
  • ...
  • Meanwhile, inside the Traditional Medicine Department's Director's office.
  • Gianna had just finished an acupuncture session with a female patient and was preparing to call the next one after the patient had dressed.
  • But just then, the door burst open.
  • "Second Mistress, you lied to me! My fiancée wasn't in this department!"
  • "Ah!
  • "You pervert!"
  • The female patient covered herself, letting out a piercing scream.
  • "Oh my goodness, my eyes! I've seen something unclean. I'm going blind!" Gale covered his eyes in fear, afraid that one more glance would render him completely blind.
  • The female patient was taken aback.
  • Why is he reacting more dramatically than I am?
  • Something unclean?
  • Do I really look that bad?
  • "Second Mistress, why didn't you lock the door when treating patients? I had to witness such a terrifying scene!"
  • "What did you say?" the female patient retorted.
  • Gale continued to look aggrieved.
  • Gianna chuckled incredulously.
  • To appease the female patient's emotions, Gianna waived the medical and registration fees, successfully ushering her out of the office.
  • With a gentle tap on Gale's shoulder, she remarked, "Alright, stop pretending now!
  • "Taking advantage and still acting innocent, you are asking for a beating!"
  • Gale dropped his hands and rolled his eyes.
  • "Isn't it just a chest? Mine is bigger than hers anyway. What's there to see?" Gale retorted.
  • "Ouch!
  • "Second Mistress, please stop! I can't take it anymore!"
  • Gale's chest was pinched by Gianna's fingers, making his heart skip a beat. Whenever Gianna pinched him like this, it always left him feeling both pained and oddly delighted.
  • He wished he could retaliate in the same manner, to let her experience what it felt like.
  • But that was just wishful thinking.
  • He never dared to do it!
  • "You little troublemaker! Your antics just cost me a day's wages. Our plans for tonight at the Celestial Hotel are ruined!"
  • "Second Mistress, please don't! I'll cover the room expenses!" Gale pleaded.
  • "Do you have that kind of money? It's over 1,500 a night at Celestial Hotel!" Gianna countered.
  • "I can use my face! If I'm short, I can just owe them. It's not like I can't pay it back."
  • Gale boasted, not only mastering medical skills but also learning his master's every trick, even the shameless ones.
  • Did he think using his face was an honour for the hotel?
  • And most places didn't even qualify for that?
  • Gianna unclipped a pen from her chest and wrote down an address.
  • "But you're busy tonight. Take your father-in-law's address and go visit. They called and invited you for dinner."
  • "I'm not going!" Gale huffed.
  • Gianna's eyes shimmered with mischief.
  • "Your fiancée has a big chest, and her buttocks are so round and plump. I touched them when I treated her last time, and they felt quite nice."
  • "I'm going! I'm going right now! See you later!"
  • Gale exclaimed, grabbing the address and darting off like a streak of smoke.
  • Meanwhile, in the Arcanum District.
  • Outside a luxurious mansion, Gale ran as if his life depended on it.
  • It was a full 80 kilometres from the hospital to here.
  • He had to cross a sea bridge after leaving the district!
  • "D*mn it! Why is it so far!"
  • "Stop! What are you doing?"
  • Three burly security guards stood at the gate, blocking his way.
  • "Sir, my father-in-law invited me for dinner. Could you help me open the gate? I'm here to break off the engagement," Gale remarked with a smile.
  • "Your father-in-law?
  • "Inside?"
  • The guards looked at him in disbelief, then glanced at the grand mansion inside the manor.
  • "Yeah! Is there any problem?" Gale asked, puzzled.
  • "Hahaha, you're cracking me up!"
  • "A loser like you dares to associate with the Wheeler family, who are worth billions? And you want to break off the engagement?"
  • "Just you? Are you even worthy?"
  • The guards disdainfully scrutinised him.
  • Dressed in cheap street stall clothes!
  • Not even a decent outfit!
  • Where did this guy get the courage from anyway?
  • "Sir, I'm just here for dinner. There's no need to insult me."
  • Gale sighed in exasperation.
  • Are these three idi*ts for real?
  • With this kind of attitude, how long before they get fired from guarding wealthy people?
  • "Yes, we're insulting you!"
  • "If you don't scram right now, we'll beat you!"
  • The three men brandished their fists, threatening fiercely.
  • Gale rubbed his forehead helplessly.
  • I'm genuinely worried about these idi*ts losing their jobs.
  • "Guys, couldn't you just make a phone call to the mansion to verify if I've been invited?" Gale suggested calmly.
  • "What the hell! This guy's really pushing it!"
  • "Let's beat this lunatic!"
  • "Make a call? Today, I'll make sure you're covered in blood!"
  • The three security guards immediately surrounded Gale.
  • They were clearly trained in combat, with well-defined muscles that made taking on two or three ordinary people no trouble at all.
  • One of the guards threw a punch at Gale, who managed to dodge a few times.
  • "Hey! That's enough already!" Gale shouted.
  • "If you keep this up, I'll have to fight back!"
  • The security guards were getting frustrated.
  • How could this guy move so fast, like an eel?
  • "If you're so capable, stop dodging!"
  • "I'll knock you out!"
  • Bam!
  • "Ouch!"
