Chapter 37
37 Dalton Wanted to Break Off the Engagement
When Fabian heard the words “one of us“, he found it quite strange. “Since when do you consider
someone ‘one of us‘?”
“Mr. Quinnell, now I’m just like you. My life is in the hands of Dr. Genius.” Dalton brushed off his sleeve.
“Of course, I have to befriend her.”
Fabian couldn’t tell if he was telling the truth or not.
Dalton was hard to figure out. Although he looked weak and sickly, he was cunning on the inside.
Fabian also wondered if he had made the right decision by arranging the engagement between his little
princess and Dalton.
To be fair, this little brat was quite handsome. Every young woman in their circle liked him.
No, he had to keep him for his little princess. He couldn’t agree to his attempt to break off the
engagement!
“So you’re saying your illness can be cured?” Fabian huffed, “Then why on earth are you here talking
about calling off the engagement?”
Dalton frowned. “Mr. Quinnell, let’s keep matters separate.”
“I won’t agree anyway.”
Fabian didn’t care what he said. “If you really want to call it off, wait until my little princess returns. Say
it to her face!”
Dalton understood what he meant, knowing there was room for negotiation. “I’ll have The Shadows and
Ryan Lloyd continue the search.”
“That’s more like it.”
Having an engagement called off wasn’t something to be proud of. But Fabian took it in stride and
shifted his gaze to Wynter. “Sorry, Dr. Genius. Please don’t mind.”
Wynter shook her head and brought over her first aid kit. “Shall we start today’s treatment?”
Seeing this, Fabian was even more impressed with this unnamed genius doctor. Indeed, just as his
people said, this young lady was extraordinary.
From the moment she walked in, her eyes had shown resilience. No matter what they said or how
much crucial information was exposed, her gaze never wavered.

It was as if her sole purpose today was to treat them, regardless of their status.
Fabian had been in business for many years. He had met all sorts of people and admired those who
knew exactly what they needed to do and did it.
This young lady had a broad perspective at such a young age. Even if she wasn’t the savior of the
Quinnell family, her future was undoubtedly promising.
“What did you eat this morning? And what medications have you used? I need to know your diet and
prescriptions before I proceed with the acupuncture,” Wynter said professionally.
Fabian couldn’t remember such trivial details, so he called for Dr. Lopez from the hospital.
Dr. Lopez was keen to grab this chance and came quickly.
After checking the records, Wynter started the acupuncture. Her hands seemed to precisely measure
every joint and acupoint in the body.
At first, Fabian didn’t pay much attention. But when her silver needle touched his skin, a cool sensation
flowed from the bottom up, refreshing him and clearing his mind.
The heavy burden he had felt these past days seemed to lift. His chest felt lighter, and the dull pain he
had been feeling miraculously disappeared!
Fabian looked up
in astonishment!
But he saw Dalton beside him, appearing as if he was used to this!
Dr. Lopez, who had come to assist, was wide–eyed. He looked at Wynter as if she were a live research
subject.
What was going on?
Wynter twirled the needle and said, “Mr. Quinnell, you should take care of yourself. Cut down on
cigarettes and eat more vegetables.”
Fabian nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Genius, where did you put that needle? How come I feel
like all my illness is gone with just one prick?”
