?Chapter 88:


    Sansa was formidable, but Hannah stood her ground confidently. “In the past, I respected you as my sister-inw and maintained humility and politeness. Now, as the wife of the family head, I must act with fairness and fulfill my responsibilities. Please don’t take it personally.” With a wink from Hannah, the butler understood the cue and signaled the bodyguards, who then promptly escorted Sansa away with firmness


    Just as Sansa was led away, the police arrived, inquiring about the situation and subsequently taking A into custody. Finally, themotion subsided, leaving a newfound silence in its wake


    The Nash family now embraced new leadership, and many from the medicalmunity approached Balthasar, offering congrattions for the promising futures of the young talents in his family. Balthasar, visibly pleased, mingled and chatted. His eyes asionally searched for Marissa. He had hoped to take her home, but when he realized she had already left the exhibition hall, his expression fell into disappointment


    Marissa had exited with Arabe, who was overwhelmed by the noise and needed rest. Marissa assisted her into the car, followed by Connor. Back at the Daniels family’s home, Connor rxed on the sofa while Marissa helped Arabe to her room. After ensuring Arabe wasfortably asleep, Marissa returned to the living room and announced to Connor, “I’m leaving.”

    As she walked towards the door, Connor’s voice halted her. “Do you need me to stay with you tonight as well?” Marissa’s heart raced, her steps faltering. Did he find out she was Riss? Not just Marissa, but also Domenic, Marc, and Terry, who had been observing from a distance, were taken aback by Connor’s unexpected offer. What was really going on?


    After a moment of silence, Marissa turned around with an awkward smile. “Mr. Daniels, I’m not sure what you mean.”


    Connor’s gaze was teasing as he responded, “Doctor Riss, did you already forget our night?” Faced with Connor’s directness, Marissa dropped her pretense. Feeling less embarrassed than expected, she replied, “Mr. Daniels, perhaps we should have another negotiation?”


    “Sure.” Connor rose and walked out of the main building, signaling for Marissa to follow


    Meanwhile, Domenic, Marc, and Terry exchanged bewildered nces in the living room, stunned by the conversation they had just overheard. In the meeting room in the adjacent building, a coffee tabley between two sofas where Connor and Marissa sat facing each other


    “Mr. Daniels, as per our agreement, I’ll treat your brother’s legs. However, it’s crucial that my identity as Riss remains confidential,” Marissa stated firmly


    “I understand and agree,” Connor replied with a nod. “I’ve reviewed your brother’s medical records, and the treatment will involve acupuncture, supplemented by medication. It will require a total of 9,999 needles, and my fee will be three hundred million.”


    “No problem.” Connor nodded without hesitation


    Pleased with his straightforwardness, Marissa continued, “Additionally, I don’t bring any provisions when I go out for treatments. You’ll need to pay an extra ten thousand per day for my food and amodation. Any special requirements, like clothing and essories, will also be your responsibility.”


    Connor listened and nodded, agreeing to the terms without any objections. “Sure.” He nodded, then asked, “Any other conditions?”


    Marissa felt a wave of embarrassment at his question. She needed his presence to help her sleep since her Serene Rest Pills wouldn’t be avable for another three months. “Mr. Daniels, during our cooperation, when I need you to stay with me, you must be avable immediately. You can’t bete,” she said, trying to keep her tone professional


    Connorughed softly, a hint of amusement in his voice. “Okay.”


    His reaction made her feel more self-conscious. Trying to lighten the mood, she quipped, “Don’t read too much into it. I’m not interested in you. It’s just that your presence is like a sleep aid for me.”


    Unfazed by her rification, Connor responded with a yful undertone, “The armor you wore is quite unique—a chastity armor, isn’t it? It suits you well, and the designs are quite striking. Make sure you wear it again next time.”


    Marissa was taken aback by hisment
