Chapter 1257 Wynter Saving Her Grandpa
“There’s no need for that.” Wynter noticed the surveillance outside the room earlier.
She had tested the soundproofing and knew that Jesslyn hadn’t heard anything. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen this time to walk in. It was obvious she wanted to listen in.
Wynter smiled faintly. “I noticed that Grandpa Reuben’s digestive system hasn’t been functioning well lately when I was taking his pulse.
“Sometimes, continuing to eat when a person hasn’t fully digested their food can actually be a burden on the body.”
Jesslyn had been with the Whitmans for many years, and every visiting doctor had always followed her scheduling instructions
But Wynter seemed oblivious to the underlying meaning of her words. And why was she calling Reuben “Grandpa Reuben“? Why didn’t she just aim for the stars with how desperate she was to climb the social ladder?
Jesslyn couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You don’t understand Mr. Reuben’s habi-”
But just then, she was interrupted by Reuben, who spoke with a note of displeasure in his voice, “Jesslyn, listen to the doctor.
Dinner can wait.”
Reuben wondered what had gotten into Jesslyn, who had never been this inconsiderate to visitors before. Or, perhaps he had been too preoccupied with other matters over the past two years to notice the little things.
Reuben narrowed his eyes. Without needing Wynter to point it out, he had already started scrutinizing Jesslyn more closely.
Wynter observed everything silently, admiring Reuben’s sharpness. He could pick up on subtle details with just a few words. If it weren’t for his health issues, the Wray family wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant.
But Jesslyn didn’t notice these subtleties. She was visibly taken
aback.
After all, Reuben usually seemed indifferent when facing doctors, as if he had resigned himself to his condition. Yet today, his willingness to cooperate with the treatment was the best it had Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
been in months!
Wynter didn’t concern herself with Jesslyn’s thoughts. Her purpose. in coming here today was to find an opportunity to check on Reuben.
Now that she had seen him and found out about their fated encounter from years ago, she understood that some emotional knots couldn’t be untied by her alone.
Her main priority was to help Reuben’s body recover to the point where he could take medication. She had to at least stop him from coughing up blood.
“Grandpa Reuben, we might need to postpone or even cancel your dinner tonight. Alternatively, you could have some easily digestible boiled vegetables. Your digestive system is too weak.
“I’ll start with acupuncture to help your body absorb nutrients and alleviate your urge to cough,” Wynter said before gently helping Reuben lie down.
She then opened her needle kit, revealing rows of silver needles of
various sizes. Selecting the two thickest ones, she raised her hand.
Seeing this, Jesslyn exclaimed in shock, “Doctor, Mr. Reuben has never been treated this way before. How about I call Dr. Harper
first?”
“Why do you need to call him when I’m the one who’s giving the treatment?” Wynter turned to look at her.
Her eyes were deep, fierce, and intimidating. “Get out.” Her words were firm and commanding.
Jesslyn was momentarily stunned but quickly remembered that this was the Whitman household. She didn’t need to tolerate Wynter’s attitude.
“You! How can you do something so reckless? Who will take responsibility if something goes wrong with Mr. Reuben?”
Right after Jesslyn’s questions, it became clear to Reuben what was really going on.
He looked over, his voice frail but still carrying enough authority to be threatening. “I’ll take responsibility for myself. I trust this doctor. You can go.”
Jesslyn wanted to say more, but Reuben continued, “Go now. Collect your pay, and leave.”
