Chapter 483 A Strange Rtionship


    She knew it–there was no way someone like Easton would ever do something like that willingly..


    As she suspected, her brother had been set up by Vienna.


    The novel never revealed the truth behind the incident, which was why she’d been so curious-


    Even desperate to get every detail out of Easton…


    Thankfully, there had been no real damage in the end.


    Easton hadn’t fallen for Vienna’s trap.


    With that, both disasters that could have ruined his career were nowpletely resolved…


    Would her brother’s life finally be smooth from here on out?


    <i>Maybe </i><i>not</i><i>. </i>

    Though the past four years at the Ginger estate had seemed calm on the surface, the hidden threats lurking in the dark were never truly gone.


    Four years ago, her brothers had been targeted repeatedly–she herself had even gotten caught up in it— but the mastermind had never been found. The truth was still buried in a fog of uncertainty, a shadow that hung over the entire Ginger family.


    Luckily, that unknown force hadn’t made another move these past few years.


    They’d managed to enjoy a rare stretch of peace.


    But whether that enemy would resurface again… no one could say.


    So this peace–was likely temporary.


    Just as she was thinking this, her phone buzzed with a sharp notification tone.


    Jean’s thoughts slowly refocused. She pulled the phone from her pocket and tapped the screen-


    The message was from Hector.


    Her gaze paused for a moment.


    A few years ago, she never could’ve imagined that one day-


    She and Hector would end up in this, <i>strange </i>kind of rtionship.


    It all started four years ago, when Samuel had been poisoned and his asthma worsened…


    At the time, Samuel had moved back to the Ginger estate to recover. The poisoning had mostly been treated, but the asthma continued to re up unpredictably, terrifying everyone.


    That was when Jean resolved to cure his asthma once and for all.


    During that period, although Samuel gradually regained strength and went back <b>to </b><b>work</b>, he <b>didn’t </b><b>have </b><b>the </b>stamina for long hours.

    Her acupuncture treatments also drained both time and energy, and it took a toll on <b>Samuel</b>,


    So the workaholic Samuel had no choice but to “slow down” and cut back on patients-


    He couldn’t keep treating everyone.


    Many of his long–term patients had to be transferred to other doctors.


    Among them was Hector.


    Hector was different.


    He was one of the few patients Samuel treated for psychological disorders.

    The other patients were all understanding. Once Samuel exined his situation, they epted the transition withoutint. Some even expressed concern for his health and wished him a full recovery.


    But Hector was the exception.


    He was clearly unhappy about it.


    Jean could sense his displeasure and the pressure in the air.


    Because she had been there.


    She’d gone to the hospital often to pick up herbs for Samuel’s asthma treatments, and she happened to be there the day Samuel exined everything to Hector.


    That day, Hector didn’t say much–but Jean saw it all.


    His lips were pressed tightly together, and his pitch–ck eyes were like deep ink, heavy and unreadable<b>. </b>A cold, oppressive aura radiated from his entire body.


    The pressure in the room had plummeted.


    “I don’t want to be handed over to another psychiatrist.”


    After a long silence, the man finally spoke, his voice calm but firm–like steel dropped onto stone.
