Chapter 15
Lucas Grey answered without hesitation, “Yes, of course I’m willing! My biggest wish in life is to marry you. Why would I ever say no?”
[What’s going on with her? Isn’t she supposed to be the unshakable ice queen, the kind of strong woman who wouldn’t even blink if the sky fell? Why is she suddenly looking so vulnerable?]
[Could it be that she broke down because she can’t be with David Fox?]
Rose White had just started to feel touched by his answer, but before even a second had passed, she heard his inner thoughts again.
Her feelings were instantly crushed, leaving only frustration.
This little jerk was still as two-faced as ever.
But it didn’t matter. Even if he was only pretending, at least for now, he had to choose her unconditionally.
Otherwise, just like he said, his character would collapse.
With that leverage, Sylvia Morgan wouldn’t be able to steal him away from her.
Meanwhile, after leaving the café, Sylvia Morgan finally managed to convince Ivan Morgan to come with her to a private hospital.
“I already told you I’m in great health. My heart’s perfectly fine. Why won’t you believe me? Even if you don’t trust me, surely you trust Dr. Rossi? She ran tests on me just a few months ago.”
Sylvia Morgan didn’t think there would be anything wrong either, but with matters like this, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
“Dad, I had a nightmare where you had heart disease. It scared me so badly I couldn’t sleep or eat. Just think of this check-up as a way to help me rest easy.”
Hearing this, Ivan Morgan sighed and obediently went to undergo a full range of tests.
Once all the tests were done, Sylvia Morgan anxiously sought out her father’s attending physician, a beautiful young doctor of twenty-eight named Sofia Rossi.
“So? Are the results ready?”
Sofia Rossi waved the medical report in her hand. “The results are right here. I’m sure it’s a false alarm. He was perfectly fine three months ago. Developing heart disease all of a sudden? I’ve been practicing medicine for almost ten years and haven’t seen something like that happen.”
She opened the report with a chuckle, ready to tease her, but suddenly froze.
“No way...”
She hurried to the desk and dialed a number.
“Are you sure there’s no mistake in the report you just sent over? Double-check the sample.”
A response came quickly: “Is this for Chairman Morgan’s results? We were also shocked when we saw them, so we double-checked right away. Dr. Rossi, the results are accurate.”
Sofia Rossi was speechless.
How could this be?
After a moment of shock, she turned to Sylvia Morgan. “Your father has indeed been diagnosed with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Fortunately, it’s in the early stages and can be managed through diet and treatment. It won’t be too serious, so don’t worry.”
What?!
Sylvia Morgan’s mouth dropped open as she took a step back in disbelief.
That guy’s inner voice was all true.
Which meant she really would entrust all her power and even her life to a man named David Fox in the future?
No. She absolutely would not allow that to happen.
Her eyes filled with a murderous glint as she clenched her fists tightly.
If someone like that really existed in the world...
She would rather strike first and eliminate him before he could become a threat.
At that moment, David Fox had no idea his fate had quietly shifted.
After settling scores with the relatives who had refused to properly bury his parents and had stolen their inheritance, he turned his attention to Lucas Grey.
He didn’t know why, but he felt like this man wasn’t as simple as he appeared.
If he was really just some rich playboy simping after Rose White like the rumors said, then why did Yelena Miller treat him so differently?
That woman wasn’t so easily fooled.
As he pondered these thoughts, his phone rang.
It was a call from one of his subordinates.
