The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 315

Dorian agreed without hesitation. He thumped his chest and declared, “Absolutely! I’ve quit my job and made a resolution! Besides, Vivienne, you’re also in Riverwood.”

Dorian flashed a charmingly ingratiating smile. “With your help, our perfume company is bound to establish a foothold in Riverwood!”

Vivienne responded coolly, without directly addressing him

She could afford to give him anything, whether it was money or the perfume formula

But that didn’t mean this Dorian here could handle it

After dinner, Vivienne took Thaddeus to the quest room, while Donan and Cordelia retreated to their own quarters.

The guest room was filled with children’s toys and picture books, and the bedding was freshly changed.

Vivienne led him to the desk and patted his head gently “You’ll stay here for now Don’t worry about anything else, okay?

Thaddeus, his eyes still red from crying bit his lip and nervously asked from the chair, Sis, will I go back to my aunt and cousins?

His cautious demeanor broke Vivienne’s heart

“No” Vivienne hugged him closer and murmured soothingly into his ear. “I won’t let you go back.”

Thaddeus finally relaxed.

He clung to Vivienne and, with his childish and soft voice, asked, ‘Sis, can I stay with you from now on?

“Yes” Vivienne responded as gently as she could

“You’re so nice, sis. Thaddeus finally managed a smile. But it quickly faded as his little face scrunched up: “Only you haven’t changed everyone else has. Dad and Mom

don’t love me anymore “

Vivienne’s hand froze on his head and a flicker of darkness passed through her eyes. Then, she smiled and reassured him. “Don’t be afraid. Your parents haven’t changed. They still love you. They’re just sick, and their temperaments have become different. I’ll cure them.”

Thaddeus asked, not fully understanding what she meant “Can you really cure them, sis?”

Have you forgotten that I’m a doctor?”

doctor Thaddeus looked at her in awe.

I say I’ll cure your parents,
