Travis furrowed his brows. “Esme, did you confuse him with someone else? How could he be a master healer at such a young age?”
“A friend of mine recommended him to me. I don’t think there’s a mistake.” Sensing Sebastian’s silence, Esme repeated herself, “Dr. Wilder, my father’s life is hanging on a thread. Please save him. I’ll agree to whatever conditions.”
Who to
told you about me?” Sebastian questioned curiously.
There were only a handful of people in the know about his medical prowess.
“Gina referred me to you,” Esme revealed.
“Do you know Gina?” Sebastian looked surprised,
Gina’s full name was Gina Harris. She also went by the name “Hydra“.
She was withdrawn and isolated, not communicating with outsiders ever since her family’s tragedy. As a result, not many were aware of her full name, and she did not have many friends.
Esme nodded. “Yes. Gina and I were childhood friends. We lost contact after her family got into trouble, and we recently reconnected. She recommended you after learning that I’ve been looking everywhere for doctors. She told me your whereabouts.”
Sebastian nodded at Esme. “I’ll go with you since you’re Gina’s friend.”
Since he regarded Gina as his sister, he had no reason to turn down her friend’s request for help.
“Thank you, Dr. Wilder!” Esme grew excited when Sebastian agreed to help. Gina had promised her that her father could be saved if Sebastian treated him, and Esme trusted Gina very much.
“No, you can’t leave!” Travis stopped Sebastian from leaving with a threatening look in his eyes
“What is this supposed to mean, Travis?” Esme confronted him.
He growled, “This jerk talked back to me and even impersonated the Supreme One. His actions are unforgivable. I need to take his life!”
Esme grew furious. “My father is dying, and only Dr. Wilder can save his life, but you want to kill him off! Do you want my father dead?”
“Of course not! Why would I want to hurt my future father–in–law? But a young man like him can’t possibly be a master healer. You must’ve been lied to, “Travis explained with a chuckle.
Esme raged, “Travis Lloyd, quit the bullshit! When did my dad become your father–in–law?
He gloated, “Your parents have agreed to an arranged marriage between us. It’s a done deal.”
Esine scoffed. “Well, I can assure you that I’ll never marry you. You have no right to question Dr. Wilder’s skills. Now, get out of my way!”
Travis‘ expression crumpled. He snapped, “Esme, I don’t care what you think. You shall be mine.” He turned to Sebastian and said icily, “Little brat, I’ll spare your life for Esme’s sake. You’d better cure my future father–in–law or you’re dead!”
“Dr. Wilder, ignore him. I’ll be thankful to you regardless of whether or not you manage to save my father. I won’t tolerate anyone laying a finger on you!
Esime gave Sebastian her promise before taking his hand and leaving
Travis was enraged when Esme sided with Sebastian, even going as far as to hold his hand. Still, he held back his anger despite feeling murderous.
He thought, “Make yourself my enemy and I’ll make sure you won’t see another day!”
No one had ever gone against his wishes in his life. Sebastian was the first. Moreover, seeing Esme cozying up to Sebastian, regardless of the reason behind it, was enough to fuel Travis jealousy as he hadn’t even had the chance to hold Esme’s hand.
Although Sebastian and Esine were just holding hands, the sight was enough to set Travis off.
