As her brother, it was only natural for him to take on more responsibility.
Larissa’s sobs quieted a little. She lifted her tear–filled eyes. “No, Claud, I don’t want you to go. It should be me.”
Claude’s heart was softened by her tears.
His own eyes reddened as well. “It’s all my fault for being useless, for not protecting you, for letting her bully you again and again.”
“Don’t worry. When I come back, I’ll make sure to drive her
out.”
Larissa was deeply moved and threw herself into Claude’s arms. “Claud…”
A week passed.
Bonnie often drifted in and out of sleep.
The herbal medicine was finished.
The doctor gently reminded her that the elderly needed slow, steady care with herbal medicine, especially after so many
shocks.
So Priscilla asked Elijah for Bruce’s address, deciding to go see him.
Four o’clock in the afternoon.

She arrived at Bruce’s house.

Bruce was a famous healer, and people seeking his help were endless. But the old gentleman had limited energy, only seeing patients at the hospital for half a day. The rest of the time, he saw no one.
Priscilla was stopped outside by the butler.
Without an appointment, she couldn’t get in.
Priscilla had no choice but to plan to try her luck at the hospital the next day.
“Priscilla.” A slightly surprised voice called out.
Priscilla turned and saw Wesley, with Juniper holding his arm.
Wesley was expressionless, his gaze sliding over Priscilla without a pause.
The butler opened the door. “Mr. Carlton, please come in.”
Priscilla bit her lip. “Wesley.”
She wanted to ask him to take her to see Bruce.
Wesley turned, his eyes and brows icy cold.
“Wesley, could you take me inside?” Priscilla pleaded softly.
Wesley let out a scornful laugh. “What are we to each other that I should take you in?”
He strode away on his long legs.
“Mrs. Carlton… no, Ms. Wilburn.” Juniper stood at the door,

her beautiful face full of arrogance.

She would never forget how Wesley had once called her ill- mannered because of Priscilla.
Now, she could finally hold her head high.
She smiled contemptuously. “Ms. Wilburn, you should know that Wes and I are dating. Once you two get your divorce papers, I’ll be the rightful Mrs. Carlton.”
Priscilla clenched her palm.
Had he already agreed to the arranged marriage?
Of course, his wife should be someone of equal status.
How nice for them.
Yet a wave of bitterness still surged in her chest, making her
emotions unstable.
“Congratulations,” she said hoarsely.
Juniper was very satisfied. She warned Priscilla to stay away from Wesley, then hurried after him.
Wesley was a little impatient and asked what she had said to Priscilla,
Of course, Juniper wouldn’t admit to threatening Priscilla. She was trying to salvage her image in Wesley’s eyes.
“It’s nothing. I just thought Ms. Wilburn looked pitiful and wanted to help her, but I was afraid you’d be upset, so I decided against it.”

A shadow flickered in Wesley’s eyes. He knew perfectly well why she was here.
The medicine was finished.
But Bruce was not someone easy to see.
Without an appointment, she couldn’t get in.
Priscilla stood at the doorway for a long time, Wesley’s number displayed on her phone screen.
She called, but no one answered.
She gave a helpless, bitter smile. If she had known she would need his help, she shouldn’t have spoken so harshly back
then.
Thunder rumbled overhead, and it looked like it was about to
rain.
Priscilla had no choice but to leave.
As she turned around, she happened to run into someone she
knew.
“Eldridge.” She greeted him.
Eldridge was holding a box. He looked surprised to see her, then frowned. “You…”
She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and even the light in her eyes was gone.
He asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Priscilla explained she was there to get medicine for Bonnie.

Without another word, Eldridge took her inside.
A faint warmth rose in Priscilla’s heart.
“Thank you.”
Wesley and Bruce were talking. When they saw Priscilla and Eldridge come in together, Wesley lowered his gaze, his expression unreadable.
Priscilla explained why she had come.
Bruce immediately got up to ask about Bonnie’s condition, wrote a new prescription, had someone prepare the medicine for Priscilla, and reminded her to take good care of Bonnie.
Priscilla breathed a sigh of relief. She had worried Bruce would ignore her, but he turned out to be so approachable.
With the medicine in hand, Priscilla left.
She never once looked at Wesley.
Eldridge walked her to the door. Seeing the sky grow darker, he offered to take her home.
Having gotten the medicine, Priscilla felt much better, her smile brightening.
