Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 112 Sheer Luck

Chapter 112 Sheer Luck

The maid urged anxiously, "Little Young Mater."

The young man finally raised his head, exposing his chiseled, handsome face. He looked like a hybrid and was very manly. It was just that he looked so gloomy as he replied, "I'm not deaf."

he tossed his phone aside and took a glance at Matthew. Then he asked with a fake smile, "Mr. Clark, why do you have time to visit us today?"

Matthew replied expressionlessly, "You know the answer. Why do you bother asking this?"

Declan Ryker chuckled and turned to look at Charlotte, questioning, "She..."

Charlotte stepped back a bit, feeling afraid of this unbridled young man.

"Have you graduated from junior high school?" Declan lazily lit a cigarette and slightly squinted at Charlotte, asking, "Are you 13 years old? Or 14?"

Charlotte replied angrily, her cheeks bulging, "I'm 18!"

Declan sneered and replied, "I'm sorry. I can't see that from your appearance."

Charlotte was rendered speechless.

"That's true. Mr. Clark, don't take people to the Rykers' mansion randomly." A clear female voice suddenly sounded.

Charlotte turned around and saw a girl who was wearing a red skirt walking into the hall. She had delicate makeup and looked beautiful. However, she looked somehow arrogant and condescending.

The servants hurriedly greeted her, "Ms. Sienna Ryker."

Sienna looked Charlotte up and down as if she was studying a piece of goods and her eyes looked critical as she remarked, "Mr. Clark, I know you're worried about Fiona's health, but you can't turn to any doctor out of anxiety. How can you bring such a smatterer to our home?"

If it was in the past, Sienna, a daughter from a branch of the Ryker family, would not dare to talk to Matthew like this. She would just try her best to avoid meeting him. However...

Sienna curled up her lips.

Matthew felt guilty toward Fiona, so he wouldn't resort to violence with any members of the Ryker family. Therefore, Sienna wasn't afraid of him anymore and became more and more unbridled.

Matthew said blandly, "She's very skilled in medicine."

Sienna sneered and retorted, "From her looks, I guess she even doesn't grasp the pharmacodynamics. Skilled in medicine? Mr. Clark, don't be deceived by her."

Matthew slightly frowned. Apparently, he was getting impatient. He asked, "When is it your turn to take charge of the Ryker family?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Sienna's face turned pale. She took a glance at Declan, but the latte acted as if it was none of his business and even said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me? Go on."

Sienna shot a glare at Charlotte and continued, "I won't allow her to treat Fiona. I'm worried about it. What if Fiona's condition gets worse after the treatment? Who will be responsible for it?"

Charlotte wanted to tell them that she could just examine Fiona and that she wouldn't give her any prescription. But Matthew spoke ahead of her, "I'll be responsible for it."

Sienna was a bit dumbfounded. Then she retorted sarcastically, "Mr. Clark, I don't believe your words. Not a bit."

Matthew continued, "She curled my grandmother's stoke and saved Commander Bennett's life. She's truly skilled in medicine. Ms. Ryker, I don't want to hear you humiliate her again."

Sienna still wanted to say something, but Declan interrupted her, "Enough, Sienna."

Sienna was a bit afraid of her cousin and immediately shut up.

Declan took a glance at Charlotte and said, "I've heard of it. Did you save Commander Bennett?"

Charlotte nodded.

Sienna couldn't help but retort, "Probably it's because of her sheer luck. Like a blind cat caught a dead rat."

She acted as if she cared about Fiona very much, but in fact, she wished so much that Fiona would have to lie in bed for the rest of her life because she would only have a chance to stand out without Fiona. Therefore, it made sense for her to try all means to stop Fiona from recovering.

Charlotte asked confusedly, "Miss, I won't take it to my heart even if you compared me to a blind cat. But how could you relate Commander Bennett to a dead rat?"

Sienna was stunned. She retorted angrily, "It's just a metaphor. What bullshit are you talking about? How would I satirize Commander Bennett? I never expected you to have such a glib tongue."

Charlotte said innocently, "But you were the one who said that."

Sienna was lost for words.

She was so enraged. Charlotte looked quiet, but in fact, she was very vicious. If her words spread out and the Bennetts knew that she had cursed Commander Bennett by relating him with a dead rat, they would definitely beat her. They weren't like Matthew after all!

Declan looked at Charlotte with great interest, which made her hair stand on end. She hurriedly said, "Let's go to check on Ms. Ryker first."

Declan nodded and ordered, "Okay. Take her to Fiona's room."

A maid hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Please follow me."

Charlotte turned around and took a glance at Matthew, only to find him still standing on the spot. It seemed like he didn't intend to go to see Fiona together with her.

Charlotte heaved a subtle sigh and followed the maid.

Fiona's courtyard was very tranquil. Except for the sound of the wind, only the chirps of insects could be heard. It was very suitable for recuperation. From this aspect, Charlotte could tell that Fiona was very favored by the Ryker family.

The maid pushed open the door and Charlotte walked into the room, carrying her suitcase by herself. As soon as she entered, she found the decoration of the room was very simple. It was so simple that it didn't fit Fiona's identity as the eldest daughter of the Ryker family at all.

Born into such a rich, powerful family, Fiona was undoubtedly favored by God. However, her room was decorated too simply.

The only sophisticated decoration in the room should be the ivory bed with a gauze bed canopy hanging on it.

The maid reported in a soft voice, "Ms. Ryker, the doctor is here."

The girl lying in bed slowly sat up and said in a weak yet gentle voice, "Come over please."

The maid then withdrew the bed canopy.

Charlotte finally saw Fiona.

She looked extremely thin with a pale face. However, as the saying went, beauty was immanent, rather than superficial. Even if she looked so thin, her beauty was still undeniable. And her eyes looked extremely charming. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised but on the whole, her eyes looked round, which made her look naughty and seductive.

Fiona asked in shock, "So young?"

Her voice was very soft and very pleasant to the ears. She wasn't as arrogant as those ladies born into rich families. In terms of aura, Sienna looked more like the daughter of the Ryker family.

The maid replied, "It's said that she's very skilled in medicine."

Fiona didn't judge Charlotte based on her appearance. She smiled at her and said, "Please." She paused and then added, "In fact, it's the same no matter if I'll receive treatment or not."

Charlotte had a good impression of her. She said softly, "Ms. Ryker, please don't be so pessimistic about it. Your mental state will have a great influence on it."

Fiona only smiled at her words. She didn't say anything about it."

Charlotte sat down beside Fiona's bed and said, "Please give me your hand."

Fiona asked in shock, "Are you a traditional doctor?"

Her shock made sense. Nowadays, modern medicine was trending and it has quickly replaced traditional medicine's position in people's hearts as it had quick effects and could greatly lessen

pain. It was already rare for the new generation like Fiona to know about traditional medicine.

Charlotte nodded and replied, "Yes."

Fiona smiled softly and praised, "You look so young, but you're already so outstanding. When I was your age, what I did was run crazily in Seyso."
