Because there was no sound on the surveillance footage, Old Master Lancaster couldn’t hear what Nina Sinclair was saying. He could only see that she seemed to be saying something, and Old Madam Lancaster was completely captivated.
This made him anxious, and he furrowed his brows, saying to Uncle Ming behind him, "Arrange it immediately. I want to hear what that woman is saying!"
Uncle Ming was a bit helpless but quickly responded, "Alright, Master, I’ll try my best to find a way."
Before long, Uncle Ming had everything arranged. Googlᴇ search NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
A waiter, using the excuse of replacing napkins and toothpicks, delivered some spare items to Nina Sinclair’s table, which contained a bugging device that could transmit the conversation between Nina Sinclair and Old Madam Lancaster in real-time.
They could hear Nina Sinclair’s voice coming through the bugging device.
"I know a friend, an expert in medicine..."
Old Master Lancaster snorted lightly. As expected, Nina Sinclair was trying to use this to curry favor with Old Madam Lancaster.
With her status and background, whom could she possibly know that’s impressive? Except for the Thatcher Family, whom he couldn’t personally invite, he paid no regard to other doctors.
Humph! He was curious to see how that woman would enchant people!
Old Madam Lancaster, upon hearing Nina Sinclair ask about Old Master Lancaster’s condition, feared that she might slip and slightly exaggerated his condition to her to avoid arousing Nina Sinclair’s suspicion.
After hearing this, Nina Sinclair suddenly thought of Joel Thatcher.
Though Joel Thatcher studied traditional medicine, his medical skills were quite formidable. She wondered if she could invite him to take a look at Old Master Lancaster?
However, as Joel Thatcher mentioned yesterday, the appointments with him were already scheduled until next year. If it weren’t for their good relationship, he wouldn’t have helped her with her mother’s case. Thinking of this, she still felt very grateful to Joel Thatcher.
She could help ask if Joel Thatcher would be willing to look at Julian Lancaster’s grandfather, even if it meant getting in line.
Nina Sinclair gathered her thoughts and said, "I know a friend, very skilled in medicine, who is excellent at managing some chronic conditions. I’ll help ask if he is willing to take a look at grandfather."
Old Madam Lancaster’s eyes showed a flicker of emotion upon hearing Nina Sinclair’s words.
In fact, she knew that when she called, Nina Sinclair came to Crestfall after hearing about Julian Lancaster’s grandfather being ill, and now she was considerate of Old Master Lancaster’s health issues.
Based on her years of observing people, Nina Sinclair was a filial and good child.
In the surveillance room, Old Master Lancaster’s expression was tightly clenched, muttering, "Trying to win me over by inviting a doctor? If she can really get someone from the Thatcher Family, then she’d be impressive, and I’d be convinced. If it’s those quack doctors, forget it."
Uncle Ming echoed, "Master, the head of the Thatcher Family, Joel Thatcher, does have impressive medical skills, but he is very prideful. I’ve sent several invitations, and he hasn’t agreed to let us cut in line, saying it would be unfair to others."
Old Master Lancaster’s brows furrowed tightly; Joel Thatcher was indeed talented, and young folks tend to be a bit stubborn and unafraid of authority.
He actually admired Joel Thatcher’s courage, anyway, he wasn’t dying soon, it was just a minor ailment, waiting a bit wouldn’t hurt.
Then, Old Master Lancaster heard Old Madam Lancaster tell Nina Sinclair that tomorrow was her birthday banquet and warmly invited Nina Sinclair to attend. His lips tightened.
"Master, since Old Madam invited Nina Sinclair to the birthday banquet, do you need to do anything?"
Though Uncle Ming had helped Julian Lancaster, he was after all a person by Old Master Lancaster’s side, naturally siding with him.
