Chapter 925
Bruno also disliked the Lawson family’s attitude, and seeing as Anastasia seemed to have some history with them, he agreed. “You’re right. Mr. Lawson, since that’s the case, we’ll be taking our leave p>
Morgan panicked. “Dr. Austin p>
“Mr. Lawson,” Bruno cut him off, sounding helpless, “Since I came today, I was of course sincere about treating your son. But now that your son is not cooperating, how can I possibly proceed p>
“I truly don’t have any more time to spare today. However, since I gave you my word, just let me know when you’ve managed to persuade the patient, and I’ll make another trip p>
Bruno’s words were more than generous. Ordinarily, his time was so precious that once he visited the Lawson estate, a second trip would be out of the question.
However, regarding Timothy’s demand for Anastasia to treat him, he didn’t promise a thing, not even mentioning it.
Just by observing the scene, he could tell Anastasia had bad blood with the Lawson family, and she herself was unwilling. He certainly wasn’t about to sacrifice his prized student.
Morgan’s face was grim. “Naomi, see Dr. Austin out p>
Naomi stood up and escorted Bruno and Anastasia out.
When Bruno wasn’t looking, Naomi moved closer to Anastasia and whispered, “You must be so proud of yourself, having him so obsessed with you p>
“Naomi, are you insane?” Anastasia shot back bluntly.
“You!” Naomi hadn’t expected her to be so direct and her eyes widened in anger.
Anastasia sneered contemptuously, “Who does he think he is? You think he’s even worth my time p>
Leaving Naomi stunned and furious with those words, Anastasia walked away without a backward glance.
As she stepped out of the Lawson family’s main gate, she saw a car slowly pull to a stop. A man who looked like a bodyguard respectfully opened the door, and a girl stepped out.
The girl wore a white dress, her long, straight black hair framing a face with light makeup that couldn’t hide a certain frailness.
She moved with an elegant grace, her expression innocent and touching. She glanced casually toward Anastasia and Bruno without
lingering but her face lit up with a
smile upon seeing Naomi, and she quickened her pace slightly.
From that brief look, Anastasia guessed that the girl probably had a congenital heart condition.
Her own pace was unhurried, and she happened to overhear the girl as she reached Naomi, asking with concern, “Naomi, how’s Timothy p>
“Not good. He still refuses treatment. Mom and Dad don’t know what to do with him p>
“Take me inside, quickly. I’m so worried about him p>
Anastasia’s gaze flickered. She suddenly recalled hearing faint
rumors in her past life that Timothy
had a fiancée. He didn’t
didn’t care for her, but the girl was deeply devoted to
him.
But in her previous life, she had never met this girl.
She only heard that her name was something like Serena.
If she wasn’t mistaken, that must be her.
But it had nothing to do with her, so she didn’t give it much thought and left the Lawson estate with Bruno.
Behind her, seeing Anastasia leave, Timothy immediately lost all interest. He ignored his parents’ pleas and lectures and went straight upstairs.
When he heard Serena had arrived, his expression didn’t change. He simply said, “I’m not seeing her p>
The maid went downstairs to deliver the message, looking troubled.
Down in the living room, Mrs. Lawson was holding Serena’s hand, her face full of affection and warmth as she asked if Serena had been feeling well recently.
