Old Master Lancaster initially also thought that Joel Thatcher was invited by Heidi Leighton.
At that moment, his impression of Heidi improved even more. He felt she must have known that he wanted to find Joel Thatcher but had no way to do so, so she stepped in to help.
Although he didn’t know what method Heidi used, her actions solved a major worry for him.
Such a perceptive, considerate, and excellent woman surely can assist Julian Lancaster in the future to become the Lancaster Family’s matriarch.
Old Master Lancaster proudly boasted to Old Madam Lancaster, "I don’t even want to see that doctor the other woman invited. With the Family Head of the Thatcher Family invited by Heidi, who else matters!"
Old Madam Lancaster, seeing Old Master Lancaster’s smug look, couldn’t help but sigh.
In the end, she didn’t say anything.
Joel Thatcher’s medical skills are indeed impressive. Having him treat Old Master Lancaster is a good thing, and she knew that Nina Sinclair had good intentions. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Seeing Old Master Lancaster’s satisfied expression, Heidi Leighton’s heart was finally at ease.
She and Justin Leighton walked together toward Old Master Lancaster, laughing, "I know you’ve always wanted to invite someone from the Thatcher Family for a consultation. I went through a lot to invite the Family Head himself for the sake of your health, so please don’t get upset. Otherwise, the old madam will worry."
Her words were sincere and heartfelt, and naturally, Old Master Lancaster didn’t argue.
He repeatedly said, "Okay, okay, okay! Since it’s the doctor Heidi invited, I will certainly see him."
Seeing how obedient Old Master Lancaster was, the expression on Heidi’s face became even more smug.
She turned her head towards Nina Sinclair with a somewhat apologetic look and said, "Miss Sinclair, I am very sorry for stealing your credit. It’s just that the Family Head of the Thatcher Family is difficult to invite, and I fear you’ve worked hard for nothing."
Justin Leighton was also full of pride, his face glowing, "Heidi took great effort to get the Family Head of the Thatcher Family here, so let’s not let Old Master suffer with those other second-rate doctors! If the illness isn’t treated well and other problems arise, it would be terrible."
Nina Sinclair looked at the two people in front of her, feigning apology while actually boasting at her expense, and her eyes turned cold.
She glanced indifferently at Joel Thatcher, mentally noting down his debt, planning to have her revenge next time.
When Joel Thatcher heard the strange woman’s inexplicable words, he was a bit slow to react.
After Nina Sinclair’s gaze met his, he was completely panicked.
From a young age, when Nina looked at him with that gaze, the aftermath was never good for him. Seeing her now made him extremely anxious.
Joel Thatcher quickly rushed to Nina Sinclair, his face full of urgency, explaining, "Nina, please don’t misunderstand me. I don’t know this woman at all, and she certainly didn’t invite me here. Please don’t be mad, okay?"
As he finished speaking, the place fell into silence.
Wha... what does that mean? What did Joel Thatcher just say?
No one could have imagined that the seemingly profound and unfathomable Family Head of the Thatcher Family would actually run over to apologize to Nina Sinclair!
And most importantly, it seems he said that he wasn’t invited by Heidi Leighton!!
Both Justin Leighton and Heidi Leighton’s faces froze, utterly at a loss from the turn of events.
Finally, Justin Leighton forced a stiff smile and reminded, "Family Head Thatcher, what are you doing? Why are you apologizing to that woman in front of everyone?"
"Pfft!" Sharon Lancaster suddenly burst into laughter.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to her as Sharon suddenly held her stomach, laughing so hard she almost couldn’t stand up straight.
After a while, she finally gasped out, "Oh my, I’m dying of laughter! The Family Head of the Thatcher Family... he wasn’t invited by Heidi Leighton at all, but by Nina! Nina just said it was her doctor who came! It’s unbelievable that two people were eager to falsely claim so – it’s just a colossal joke..."
Upon hearing this, Heidi Leighton’s face turned pale in an instant.
