Be took Arnold out to lunch at the dining hall. Meanwhile, Asher


    headed back to his room and locked the door behind him.


    Asher went to the study and sat at his desk. The perpetual smile on


    his face slowly stiffened, and his fingers worked to loosen his tie and unbutton his cor. With each


    button undone, he felt a little more at


    ease.


    A silver cross dangled out of his shirt, shining with a dim light.

    As Asher closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his mind wandered


    away from Arnold’s face, and another person’s image shed before


    him.


    At the restaurant, Be had whipped up a spread of delicious dishes


    for Arnold.


    Although it had been a long time since she had cooked, her skills hadn’t dulled one bit. In fact, her


    cooking skills were so exquisite that


    even the family’s chef wanted to learn a few tricks from her.


    Arnold’s stomach rumbled as he eyed the mouth-watering spread on


    the table.


    “It’s just some simple food, Dr. Larson. Please give it a taste,” Be encouraged, a smile ying on her


    lips.


    But Arnold was a man with a principle. He couldn’t be swayed by a mere meal. He took a deep breath


    and looked coldly at Be. “Ms.


    Thompson, although you are my aunt’s beloved daughter, your status


    holds little value to me.”


    He continued, “I made it clear on the phone before. I don’t treat the rich. Justin is the president of the


    Salvador Corporation. He has plenty of doctors lined up to kiss up to the Salvador family. They will do


    everything they can to treat him. I’m not needed. I am a man of my word. If I say no, no one can


    change my mind. You’d better not waste


    your energy.”


    Be wondered. ‘Hmm? Did Ash not treat him well enough?’


    She calmly met his gaze, unfazed. She knew that men had amon


    weakness-pride and the desire to win.


    Be picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said casually, “Dr. Larson, I know you’re a highly


    skilled doctor and are very confident with your medical skills. You have never failed in your medical


    career,


    and not even once have you had a failed surgery. As long as you take


    over a patient, you can guarantee a 100% chance of recovery. But


    that’s because you only take on patients with a guaranteed chance of


    recovery, right?”
