Pursuing Her

Chapter 166 Breathtakingly Beautiful

“Willow, mind your own business,” Yale warned. Tristan was too scary. They didn’t hurt me, but I was locked up and couldn’t make any calls with my phone. That was a horrible experience.

“Dad, I was being honest. I feel bad for Grandpa,” Willow responded with pouted lips.

Yale snapped, “Your grandpa can decide that himself.”

Charmaine cast him a dubious look. What’s with him? He used to despise Sophie. What happened to him today?

Before Willow could say anything, Yale chided her harshly and stopped her from saying anything else.

Willow fumed silently. Why is everyone going against me?

“Mom, I feel a little unwell. I’ll go and get some fresh air,” she said.

Charmaine gave her a disapproving look.

“Willow, your grandpa is in the operating room. Don’t be willful,” she chided. Willow was unlike her usual obedient self that day.

“Mom, I am supposed to meet Mr. Zales later,” Willow explained. She had no idea why she got lucky. Clayton took notice of her after she appeared by his side deliberately.

“What? Really?” Charmaine was elated. “Go, then! Seize the opportunity, okay?”

“But Grandpa…”

“There are plenty of people here. The doctors are here too, and you can’t be of any help. Just go!” Charmaine urged.

If we get to establish connections with the Zales family, Willow will get a chance! The Zales family is much more influential than the Laird family!

Willow knew what her mother was thinking. After gaining Charmaine’s approval, she sneaked away quietly.

Arius and Sophie had changed into surgical gowns. They were disinfecting themselves for the last time when the doors slid open.

Sophie turned at her shoulder to see Barney Smith, a renowned doctor, the founder of the medical association, and also Arius’ mentor.

“Dr. Smith? Why are you here?” Arius was surprised to see Barney here, for the latter was recently busy with an important experiment in the lab. I can’t believe he made time just to be here!

“I received a call from Mr. Lombard and rushed here immediately. As I was busy in the lab, I didn’t know about Old Mr. Tanner. Why didn’t you tell me about his condition?”
