?Chapter 184:
Trenton suddenly copsed, his mouth frothing rmingly. Melinda was terrified and screamed, “Grandpa! Grandpa, are you okay? What should we do? My grandfather had a heart attack. What should we do?”
“Call the doctor! Call the doctor!” Neil urged, panic evident in his voice
Shortly after, a doctor arrived to assess Trenton. He observed gravely, “Mr. Warren has battled heart disease for many years. His condition is soplex that no doctor dares to operate. Now, the disease has red up again, and his situation is perilous.”
“Then we must get him to the hospital immediately!” Neil demanded
The doctor shook his head. “Mr. Warren cannot be moved at this moment. Any mishandling during transport could be fatal.”
“What… What should we do?” Neil was bewildered. He had let his son marry a woman from the Warren family primarily to form an alliance with Aelfric against Connor. If Trenton were to die here, Aelfric would surely direct his fury toward Neil, potentially destroying their alliance

Since this incident urred during a banquet hosted by the Daniels family, Connor, knowing his family would inevitably bear some responsibility, looked at Marissa for help. Marissa leaned in and whispered to him, “I can save him with a minor surgery, but we must have the family’s approval before proceeding.”
Connor immediately instructed Domenic, “Bring Aelfric here.”
“Yes, sir,” Domenic responded and quickly departed
Aelfric arrived soon after. Despite wearing a mask that hid the bruises on his face, his hobble betrayed his usualmanding presence; he was visibly in misery
“Oh, my God! Is that Aelfric? What has happened to him?”
“That exins his absence at Melinda’s engagement party. He must have been assaulted.”
In the past, Melinda would have reveled in Aelfric’s support. However, she now stood, feeling mortified amidst the crowd’s gossip
Ignoring the onlookers and their murmurs, Aelfric approached to assess Trenton’s condition. After listening to the doctor’s grim prognosis, Aelfric inquired calmly, “So, are you telling me my grandfather can only lie here and await death?”
The doctor nodded. “If we can get Dr. Riss here, there might be a chance to save him.”
Without hesitation, Aelfric took out his phone and dialed Dr. Riss’s assistant, Ferris. He made several calls, but no one answered. Aelfric suddenly recalled that Dr. Riss had been hired by Connor as Glenn’s attending physician. He looked at Connor and asked, “Mr. Daniels, can you help me get in touch with Dr. Riss?”
Connor shook his head apologetically. “Dr. Riss has gone abroad. She’s not in Blebert at the moment.”
A cloud of despair passed over Aelfric’s face
Melinda, in tears, asked, “What should we do? Are we just going to watch Grandpa die?”
Connor replied, “Although Dr. Riss isn’t here, one of her team’s outer disciples is. She’s been closely studying under Dr. Riss recently. Would you consider letting her try?”
“Who is it?” Aelfric inquired
“My wife,” Connor indicated Marissa
A frown creased Aelfric’s brow. Melinda stood up, her voice tinged with disbelief. “Everyone knows Tiffany is ipetent. What medical skills could she possibly have?”
Marissa responded with a gentle smile, “I don’t im to have medical skills, but I do seem to have a bit of luck.”
Arabe chimed in, “She truly is lucky. She saved my lifest time. She’s a lucky charm.”
Melinda’s anger red, and her eyes reddened. She believed Marissa was mocking the Warren family with her sarcastic tone, and that Arabe was blindly supporting her
Chloe feigned innocence and interjected, “Tiffany, how can you save Mr. Warren with mere luck? It must have been a fluke that you saved Mrs. Arabe Daniels. Now with Mr. Warren’s life at stake, you can’t use this opportunity just to get back at Melinda. You have to be responsible for any oues.”
Connor firmly stated, “I’ll be responsible for any oues.”
