"Mrs. Kingston." Ian Shelby came with a task, and naturally, he had a few strategies for persuasion, "Don’t dismiss Cora just because she’s young. To be honest, she’s my mentor."
A trace of surprise flashed across Kristina Kingston’s face under her mask. She stared intently at him, their eyes meeting.
"It’s true," Ian Shelby emphasized once more and then spoke truthfully, "The medicines she developed are particularly effective. You might as well let her try; it won’t affect your normal life. She has deep expertise in the field of Chinese medicine and will administer painless treatment for you."
Mary truly hoped that the mistress would accept treatment, even if there was just a sliver of hope.
Having listened to Dr. Shelby for so long, her heart was moved.
So, Mary also helped persuade, "Ma’am, shall we give it a try?"
Kristina Kingston’s gaze fell on her, not expecting her to still have hope.
Mary affectionately linked arms with her, "We have nothing to lose anyway, and what if a miracle happens?"
"..." Kristina Kingston felt somewhat conflicted inside.
"I think the person Dr. Shelby recommended must be reliable. Even if she learns about your true condition, she won’t disclose it. If you’re concerned, we can have her sign a confidentiality agreement."
Mary considered everything thoroughly.
Kristina Kingston did not hurriedly refuse. She was pondering, considering, which gave Ian Shelby hope.
"Ma’am, there are so many empty rooms upstairs. You could arrange two for us." Ian Shelby seized the opportunity, "I will accompany Cora while treating you, and we can move the equipment upstairs to make the medicines until you are cured. How does that sound?"
"Is this Justin’s idea?" Kristina Kingston looked at him, "Did Justin Kingston send you?"
Ian Shelby couldn’t say no, as they wouldn’t come to face rejection for no reason.
He thought for a moment, feeling this could be disclosed, "CEO Kingston hopes you are happy and healthy." Original content can be found at n0velfire.net
"Then go back and tell him, I don’t care about health, I just want to talk." Kristina Kingston’s eyes narrowed, her voice a bit cold, "As for making me happy, it’s simple. If he divorces and marries Monica Usher, I will be happy."
"..." Ian Shelby felt a bit awkward hearing this.
The conversation seemed to dead end again.
At this moment, Mary quickly intervened, "Ma’am, let Mr. Kingston decide on matters of the heart. We don’t know if the shoe fits."
Before Kristina Kingston could get angry, she continued, "But for now, we can accept treatments from Dr. Shelby and Dr. Yates; where there’s hope, there’s a chance."
"I’m tired, see them out." Kristina Kingston lost patience, "Ian Shelby, please tell Justin Kingston, he must marry Monica Usher in this lifetime. If he can’t do it while I’m alive, it will become my dying wish! It will haunt him for life!"
After saying this, she stepped toward the stairs, with Mary quickly following, "Ma’am..."
"Don’t say anything, let me be alone."
Not far away, Gigi and Dolly, who were hiding behind a door, were shocked. Granny still wanted Dad to divorce Mom!
The kids were already so big; didn’t she want to give them a complete family?
They watched as Granny and Sister Mary’s figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and their footsteps faded from earshot.
Gigi took Dolly’s hand and tiptoed to the living room door.
Seeing them there, Ian Shelby was quite surprised, "Gigi, Dolly?" He quickly gestured to be quiet!
He squatted in front of the children, briefly explained something, and the little ones listened intently, nodding from time to time.
Then Dolly asked, "When will Mommy come?"
