Elder Sawyer squinted his eyes and said, "Each of us will pick one, and whoever can wake the child first wins. How does that sound?"
Brian Zane propped his chin in thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Eleanor Sterling’s eyes twitched.
Can’t these two be less casual? Why have the children become a part of their wager?
"Hmph, to make it fair, let’s play rock-paper-scissors! Whoever wins gets to choose first!"
Surprisingly, Brian Zane agreed to Elder Sawyer’s absurd request, and the sound of rock-paper-scissors echoed through the operating room.
Eleanor watched the two who were well past fifty still resorting to such childish methods to determine the winner, feeling a bit helpless.
These two masters really are old kids!
In the end, Brian Zane won, he smiled and said, "I won, I get to choose first! I choose Estelle as my treatment patient."
Elder Sawyer pursed his lips, meaning Caleb Faulkner was left to him.
Though unwilling in his heart, he lost fair and square, and he’d never renege on a wager.
The final treatment assignment was decided, Elder Sawyer would take care of Caleb Faulkner, Brian Zane of Estelle Sterling.
Eleanor Sterling had no objections to this, as long as both children could be treated and cured.
In the Faulkner Family study.
Jasper Faulkner hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, speaking directly, "Bro, we haven’t been able to find out who targeted the kids. I suspect it was Fenrir."
Upon hearing this, Alaric Faulkner’s expression darkened, a fierce aura appeared between his brows.
Fenrir is a mysterious adversary who emerged a few years ago, and Alaric Faulkner hasn’t been able to find any information about him.
Back then, he sabotaged Alaric’s business, causing losses of several billion.
After successfully attacking, Fenrir disappeared cunningly, leaving no trace for investigation.
Alaric and Jasper Faulkner have always been wary of him.
Jasper sat down before him and said, "I think Fenrir is the only one who could poison Caleb and Estelle without anyone noticing."
After all, Fenrir was the first to outmaneuver Alaric, so he would likely have the ability to target the Faulkner family again.
Alaric’s eyes turned cold; if it really was Fenrir, then everyone in the Faulkner family would be exposed to danger.
If he could get to Caleb Faulkner, then Old Master Faulkner and the matriarch, even... Eleanor Sterling could also become his targets.
A cold murderous intent shot from Alaric’s deep eyes, he took out his phone and dialed.
As soon as the call connected, Alaric immediately commanded, "Initiate the global pursuit order, target Fenrir!"
After delivering his orders, he hung up abruptly.
Jasper looked at Alaric, secretly alarmed; looks like his brother is serious this time, even employing those forces.
Even when they were blackmailed, he didn’t react this way; it seems Fenrir has stepped on a tiger’s tail, nearing his demise.
He asked, "Bro, how’s Caleb doing now?"
The chill around Alaric eased slightly, "I’ve invited Elder Sawyer and Brian Zane for joint treatment, one for each."
Jasper finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"They’re top experts in the field; if they can’t handle it, I doubt anyone else could."
He paused, then asked, "Do we need to gather blood reserves? I’ve been feeling fit lately and can some fresh blood." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
Upon hearing this, Alaric’s brows furrowed tightly, his gaze sharp on Jasper.
Seeing his brother’s murderous look, Jasper shrunk his neck.
Did he say something wrong?
Why does it seem like his brother wants to silence him?
Alaric stood up and walked out, leaving behind a sentence, "No need, stay away from Eleanor Sterling."
What the heck? He hadn’t shown up in front of Eleanor Sterling recently, so why was he suddenly remembered?
