The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 1826

"Doctor Ye, what's wrong? Aren't you satisfied with this place?"

At this time, Maximilian came in.

Wisdom was a little dissatisfied with his uninvited behavior. His deep eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around, leaned against the balcony, and made a casual gesture with his hands clasped behind his back.

Zion, who was hiding in the dark, was slightly stunned.

This was his and Wisdom's usual gesture, so Wisdom asked him to calm down.

Wisdom knew that he was here?

Zion's lips curled up slightly.

It was a pity that Wisdom didn't join the army.

He told everyone not to move and the surrounding became silent for a while.

Wisdom didn't know if Zion saw his gesture.

He looked at Maximilian and said coldly, "Mr. Bay, don't you know that you have to knock on the door when you enter?"

Whether he faced Maximilian or Acoff, his words were never tactful.

Although Maximilian was mentally prepared, his face was still a little pale because of Wisdom. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he coughed and said, "Doctor Ye, I came for my son today."

"As I said before, I can save him but you have to agree to my condition first. I can save your son, and you have to let go of my family, including my brother and my future sister-in-law. There is no room for negotiation."

Wisdom's words were very firm.

Maximilian was a little embarrassed. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"It's not that I don't agree, but you should also know that my words here have no effect at all. Unless Acoff gives me some power, otherwise, I can't even compare with a bodyguard here, right?"

His words were a little bitter.

Wisdom looked at him. He didn't know if he was sincere or trying to sound him out. He kept silent and looked out of the window.

The weather today was cloudless and sunny, which made people feel much better.

Seeing that Wisdom stopped talking, Maximilian bit his lower lip and said, "Doctor Ye, as long as you can save my son, I can promise you three things. I promise you I'll do anything."

Wisdom was stunned by his words.

He was a doctor and had seen life and death. He knew that not all parents in the world would love their children.

Logically speaking, the existence of the child directly blocked the attention of Acoff towards Maximilian. In terms of human selfishness, the death of the child might be an opportunity for Maximilian. After all, he was now the only son of Acoff.

So Wisdom was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"

"What do you mean?"

Maximilian looked at Wisdom in confusion.

Wisdom simply went straight to the point.

"Your son's existence has made you very embarrassed. If he is not here, you may become the only choice of heir. So in this case, you ask me to save your son at all costs, I want to know why."

Obviously, Maximilian did not expect Wisdom to be so straightforward. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and then said in a self-deprecating way, "In your eyes, we as the bad side are so evil until we don't even care about kinship?"

Wisdom didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he acquiesced.

Maximilian smiled bitterly again and said, "If there is a choice, who wants to be a bad person? Who doesn't want to live under the sun and be a decent person?"

This made Wisdom a little surprised.

Maximilian did not care whether Wisdom believed it or not. He sat down on a chair and took out a cigarette to light it. However, he subconsciously glanced at Wisdom. Seeing Wisdom's slight frown, he put down the lighter and played with it.

Looking at his subtle movements, Wisdom knew that this person had always been used to taking care of other people's emotions, so he was actually not bad?

He was actually trying to attract more attention from his biological father by doing things for Acoff, right?

Wisdom's expression eased a little.

"You're more benevolent than that so-called Acoff.”

"Actually, our living conditions are different. I never knew that my biological father was Acoff. In the past, I always thought of myself as a child from the countryside, and I was well- behaved in doing things and reading. Later, my adoptive father passed away, and now I live alone. I know better than anyone how insecure a single- parent child is. So I really wanted to have a happy family and accompany my child to grow up. Unfortunately, things went contrary to my wishes. I actually had a father like him." "You will never know how I felt when I knew I had a biological father. I think my home is finally complete. I thought what was coming was a great life, but my father didn't acknowledge me."

"He disliked me for coming from the countryside and my petty temper. He sent me to study and threw me abroad. In that unfamiliar country, I had no one I know. I was afraid and scared. I called him for help. I said I wanted to come back, but he didn't agree. He even threatened me with my mother's life. If I couldn't finish my studies, my mother wouldn't deserve to live in this world if I didn't get a good result."

"At that moment, I knew that for my father, I was actually nothing, but he was my father. I wanted to get his approval, so I studied hard and tried my best to get used to it. I thought that after I graduated, my father would look at me differently, but unfortunately, he didn't. What awaited me was the tasks one after another, which made me unbreathable."

Wisdom listened to Maximilian's endless dabble and his eyes were dark, unclear.

He did not interrupt but just listened quietly, like a trash can, letting Maximilian express himself.

Maximilian seemed to fall into his own memory. The corners of his mouth became bigger and bigger as his bitter feelings grew, and he was even a little restless.

"Doctor Ye, no one force me into this situation, but I really care about my son. He is my son, and I don't want him to blame his father like me one day. If I can't give him a glimmer of hope when I have the ability, what about the time when I don't? What will happen to my son? He is still so young, and his life has not begun yet. Aren't you doctors the angels who save lives and heal injuries? Why can you negotiate with me when you see such a patient?"

That was what Maximilian could not understand.

Whether it was Emberly, Evangeline, or any of the doctors he had met, they would do anything for their patients. However, Wisdom was so cold- blooded that it made people scared.

Wisdom's attitude exceeded Maximilian's expectations. He could see that Wisdom really didn't intend to save his son.

That was why he panicked.

Wisdom looked into his confused eyes and said, "I study medicine because I like it. I also know what rules a doctor should abide by, but these conditions are carried out when my family is not threatened. Mr. Bay, you have your persistence, and I also have my bottom line, and my family is my last baseline. If I can't protect my family, what can I do with my life as a doctor? After all, I am a member of the Ye family. My parents gave me my life, and my sister and brother respected me. As you said, you don't want your son to blame you one day, and I don't want my brother and sister and my parents to think that they have raised me for nothing, right?"
