Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Yvette wiped the sweat from her forehead. This acupuncture method was very taxing on her.

She asked Horace lazily, "You want to know how I did it?"

Horace nodded vigorously, face full of eagerness 'Of course!"

A wicked look flashed across Yvette's eyes as she replied unhurriedly, "I'm not telling you."

"You-" Horace's words stuck in his throat, angry but unable to do anything about her.

"All of you, get out! I have something to say to this lady in private!" Jordan finally recovered from his joy and sent everyone away.

Horace followed the rest of the people out despite his unwillingness, as he couldn't simply disobey the president's orders.

After everything left, Jordan bowed solemnly to Yvette. When he spoke, his voice was full of apology.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Miracle Healer. I treated you in such an offensive manner before because I was worried about Evelynn. I hope you can forgive me this time!"

Seeing as Jordan's apology was sincere and he evidently cared deeply for his daughter, Yvette decided not to hold it against him.

"You really are exactly as the rumors describe, capable of healing all ailments, Ms. Miracle Healer. You're my daughter's savior, and by extension, also my savior. Please feel free to tell me if you have any need for me in the future!"

Now this was a promise Yvette really liked. She replied without any reservation whatsoever, Don't worry, I'll let you know if I have need of you!"

Jordan nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course! You saved Evelynn, Ms. Miracle Healer, so I'm willing to do anything you ask of me!"

IF

"Don't let your guard down so easily," Yvette told him, her face growing solemn. "I've only temporarily saved her life, but if we can't determine the reason for her illness, then she might suffer a relapse at any time and thus lose her life."

Jordan's expression instantly dimmed at her words. "I understand, but you saved her this time, so I'm still incredibly grateful to you!"

"First, tell me how she contracted this illness."

Yvette gazed at the unconscious girl on the bed, eyes narrowing.

When she performed acupuncture on Evelynn just now, she took the time to check her pulse. Her condition was certainly strange, and she had never come across a condition like this

before.

Jordan sighed heavily. "She's had this illness since I brought her home. I don't know how she contracted it either!"

Yvette's eyes sharpened. "Aren't you her father How do you not even know something like this?"

Jordan explained painstakingly, "There's something you don't know, Ms. Miracle Healer.

When Evelynn was three years old, she disappeared while outside one day. I exhausted every method I could think of to find her, but there was no news on her.

"I never gave up on looking for her throughout the years, until I finally found her again in the slums two years ago. It was a couple in the slums working as cremators who found her.

"They came across her at a mass grave. When they saw that she was still breathing, they couldn't bear to leave her, so they brought her back to the slums instead.noveldrama

"They realized something was wrong with her after bringing her back to the slums, She would fall unconscious for long periods of time, and she would be in incredible pain when she woke

"Her condition continued to worsen until I received word of it and brought her back to the Gray House, my residence where generations of presidents before me have also lived. I then gathered famous doctors from all over the world, yet none of them could cure Evelynn!"

As she listened to Jordan finish telling his story with a pained look on his face, Yvette couldn't help but glance at the sickly, thin girl lying on the bed.

They had been through similar experiences. Evelynn had also been stolen away from her family when she was young. Yvette felt as if she was looking in a mirror.
