The Million-Dollar Heart

Cordelia couldn't stand people talking about Vivienne in such a manner, but the news of the child's illness also pained her heart.

"Delilah, what happened to Flynn is something none of us wanted. Besides, it was me who shamelessly asked Vivienne to treat Flynn. Why would she harm him? She wouldn't even know who Flynn is." Seeing this, Delilah's eyes reddened with anger, a flash of hatred passing through her gaze, "Sis, have you lost your mind? Are you really going to prioritize someone who's practically a stranger over your own sister?"

"Don't you dare speak about Vivienne that way!"

This time, Cordelia was genuinely furious.

Vivienne had remained silent, simply watching to see how long Delilah could keep up her act. It seemed she was proving Dorian's words right: the Wilson family always took advantage of Cordelia's soft heart to use her.

Stepping forward, Vivienne reassured Cordelia, "I'm fine."

Then, turning to Delilah with a calm tone, she said, "I'll see Flynn's treatment through to the end. He'll be alright."

Delilah turned her head away, scoffing, "Flynn has less than a month left. Don't think you can torture him any longer. I won't let you."

Vivienne countered directly, "If you don't let me treat him, then he truly will only have a month left."

Delilah was speechless.

Cordelia seized the moment to mediate, unable to bear seeing her sister upset, "Delilah, you haven't seen what Vivienne is capable of. If anyone in this world can save Flynn, it's her."

Delilah, feeling cornered even by Cordelia, realized she had no choice but to relent, especially with nowhere else to turn.

Cordelia, knowing her sister's spoiled nature since childhood, believed smoothing things over would solve the issue.

After casting an apologetic glance at Vivienne, she declared, "Alright, Vivienne will continue with Flynn's treatment. If you're uncomfortable coming to the hospital, I'll go in your place. You've been by Flynn's side every day, you're wearing yourself out."

Delilah remained silent, which Cordelia took as agreement.
