"A family doctor only conducts regular checkups and treats minor ailments. Why… Why do you insist on having Elisa as your family doctor?"

"Winslow, you have no idea. I understand what you're getting at, but I've been to many hospitals to treat my poisoning, yet no doctors could cure me!" Damian said tearfully.

Seeing that Winslow remained unmoved, Damian continued, "I'm not insisting that Elisa works as a family doctor in my house. I only ask to meet her and let her cure my poisoning!"

"But…"

Winslow knew about Damian's poisoning. He also knew the Fawler family would not seek help so desperately unless it were a poison that no one could neutralize. His heart softened as he looked at Damian's sad expression.

Suddenly, the door upstairs gradually opened. Elisa gently pinned her hair behind her ears and came downstairs. Then, she sat on a couch and observed Damian.

"Ms. Benett? Please pity me. I beg for your help!" Damian looked at Elisa and trembled emotionally. He would have kneeled and begged for an antidote if Winslow was not in the room.


"Damian, luckily, your poisoning is not severe yet and has not reached your heart. I can prescribe medicine for you to consume regularly. Also, you will need to watch what you eat for some time. I won't be able to do much if you get poisoned again."

Elisa took a sip of tea. As a doctor, she could not stand seeing someone so weak and helpless due to illness or injuries.

Damian thanked Elisa profusely as he accepted the medicine formula from her. Then, he pursed his lips and seemed to have something to say but was unsure where to start.

"Damian! Liz prescribed medicine for you. You can come to see her again if you're unwell. However, don't even think of appointing her as your family doctor!"

Winslow spoke firmly, giving Damian no chance to argue.

Damian looked away and gave up saying anything. Instead, he made a little small talk and left. Although he appeared convinced by Winslow's words, no one knew what he was thinking.

After sending off Damian, Winslow looked at Elisa with a hint of sadness. He had advised her all that he should. Elisa had to proceed on her own from now on.

"No matter what happens, it's best that…"

"Uncle Winslow! I know what I'm doing."

Initially, Winslow wanted to advise Elisa to make a clean break from Gareth the soonest possible. However, he saw Elisa's calm and composed expression and could not bring himself to say anything.

Elisa entered the car Gareth sent to pick her up and rushed to the airport.
