My Fabulous Girl Boss

Chapter 3

attempting, but it was in vain. Hugh then had a violent seizure as if he had an epileptic shock. “I’m s-sorry… I… There’s nothing I can do…” Dr. Ewell looked white. At that moment, Kayson spoke up. “Dr. Ewell, you can try needling the acupoint on Mr. Wolfenden’s inner wrist first.” “Shut up!” Liam growled, “This is not the place for you to speak!” Sadie glared at Kayson as well. “Stop this nonsense! Dr. Ewell’s been a physician for decades. Could he know less than you?” Kayson retorted, “He’s dying, anyway, and Dr. Ewell probably doesn’t know where to start. Just give it a try!” “Say that again, and I’ll rip your mouth off!” Sadie sprang up. Her expression was icy even when her pretty face was stained with tear tracks. Dr. Ewell clenched his jaw and pushed a needle into the pressure point on Hugh’s inner wrist like Kayson had mentioned. Surprisingly, the convulsing Hugh eventually calmed down. “This…” Dr. Ewell was astonished. It actually worked! The old man suppressed his shock and humbly asked Kayson, “Young man, where do I needle next?” The scene stunned the Wolfendens, and they quieted down. Even Sadie was staring at Kayson in surprise. Kayson nodded upon seeing that Dr. Ewell was accepting his opinion. “The second one below the belly button, the third one on the outside of the knee…” Following Kayson’s instructions, Dr. Ewell pushed five needles into the acupuncture points, and Hugh was now lying on the bed, breathing rhythmically. Dr. Ewell was overwhelmed with surprise as he turned to Kayson and exclaimed, “Thank you for your advice, young man!” If it were not for Kayson, his reputation would have been ruined today. Liam and Sadie were baffled. It worked!? Kayson smiled. “You’re welcome, as long as he’s saved.” Dr. Ewell was immensely grateful to Kayson. If he had failed to save Hugh, he would have been doomed for the rest of his life. Dr. Ewell—full name, Zachary Ewell—was a bona fide famous miracle doctor. Many of those with wealth and power sought treatment from him. Sadie and her parents had personally visited the physician’s Bwell Therapeutics to ask him for a house visit today. Zachary turned to the Wolfendens. “I’m really sorry for today. Thank goodness for Kayson here, or I might have caused Mr. Wolfenden Sr.’s demise!” “Dr. Ewell, that’s too grave a claim!” Needless to say, Liam dared not blame the doctor. The mood in the room turned slightly awkward until Kayson’s stomach growled. Beatrice, who seemed a little worn out, cracked a smile. “You must be hungry, huh, Kayson? I’ll go make something for you to eat.” It was apparent that she was genuinely worried about Hugh’s health. “Thank you, Mrs. Wolfenden,” Kayson replied. Zachary was too embarrassed to stay here and made up an excuse to leave, giving his business card to Kayson before that. Liam’s attitude softened as he asked Kayson, “You studied medicine?” Kayson nodded. “My mentor has taught me a little.” “Your mentor is…” Kayson shook his head. “He doesn’t let me speak of his name.” “Right, I won’t ask then.” It was as if Liam had forgotten how he had treated Kayson earlier as he asked, “How long till my father wakes up?” “It’s a nap, so around three to four hours.” All of them went downstairs to help themselves with what Beatrice had prepared. Sadie did not look too delighted as she glared at Kayson icily from time to time. She found the man annoying no matter how she looked at him. Three hours later, Hugh woke up as expected. The first thing he said after regaining consciousness was for Sadie and Kayson to get married. This time, Sadie did not refuse, no matter how reluctant she was. Even Liam did not object while Beatrice stayed silent. She seemed happy with Kayson, always smiling whenever she looked at him. That night, Kayson was given a guest room to sleep in. The next morning… Hugh could already get out of bed and woke up Kayson and Sadie around 7:00 a.m. to urge them to go for their marriage registration. Kayson was helpless. What was his mentor thinking? How could something as unbelievable as “marrying someone’s granddaughter as repayment of a favor” happen!? Kayson had thought that Hugh would dismiss him and make him leave with the exchange
