The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 516 Gift

The old man stood in front of a console and he was manipulating something with his hands while his mouth was uttering orders continuously.

A large group of assistants was pacing around the room busily under his order.

"When the teacher is busy, he doesn't want to be disturbed. Let us wait for a while more," said Joseph Shaw.

Julian Shaw sized up the old man and nodded ever so slightly.

Judging by his appearance, he appeared to be a kind old man with a benevolent countenance.

Yet, how kind could this person's heart be when he developed a medication that harmed people's health in the name of saving people's lives?

Julian believed that there was something very wrong with the old man just like Willa Doyle.

However, it was apparent that Joseph did not believe Julian before he could witness the truth with his eyes. On the other hand, Julian needed Joseph to work with him at this exact moment. As a result, even if Julian wanted to restrain these two people immediately, he could only wait for the opportunity to do so now.

Joseph and Julian waited together for a long time before the old man placed down the item in his hands at last. He was done for now.

Joseph immediately took Julian to walk over.

"Teacher, please allow me to introduce my cousin, his name is Julian Shaw."

The old man washed his hands then looked at Julian smilingly. "So you're Julian. The person Willa rushed back to Canada to treat previously is your wife, right?”

"Yes.” Julian nodded calmly. "I still haven't thanked Ms. Doyle for saving my wife's life."

"Counting the time, I believe that your wife has yet to recover fully, right? What is the purpose of you coming here in a rush?" asked the old man.

The corners of Julian's lips curled into a faint smile. "I just remembered that my wife and I haven't thanked all of you properly for doing us such a huge favor. My wife’s body is weak so I'm taking this trip on her behalf. I would like to express my gratitude in person. I brought quite a few gifts with me and I'll send someone to deliver them to your room."

The old man did not notice anything wrong so he chuckled. "Healers treat their patients like how parents treat their children. Those that we can save, we will save naturally. As for the gifts, there’s no need for that."

"It has already been prepared. It's also a token of my appreciation," said Julian stubbornly.

The old man took a glance at him, then smiled and accepted it. "Then I shall accept it since you insist."

The two people were speaking when a crisp voice was heard.

Teacher, this is the medication that you asked for. I went around looking for it earlier and finally found it..."

Willa Doyle walked over with a joyous expression.

"Willa, look who’s here," said the old man while chuckling.

Willa had a premonition just by looking at the person’s silhouette from behind.

Her heart raced abruptly.

Jul... Julian Shaw?

No, it could not be!

According to her plan, Julian was not supposed to be here yet.

Yet, it was obviously Julian’s silhouette.

The man ruined her with the most brutal tactics in the past. She spent countless humiliating nights depicting the man's appearance in her mind frantically and wondered if she felt love or hate toward this man!

Before she sank into the deepest valley, it was apparent that she loved him.

Yet after encountering the humiliation, she only had hatred for him from then on.

It was only that when she met the man once again with her new identity that she discovered that she was incapable of hating this man purely despite enduring so much.

Julian! Julian!

He was simply the biggest catastrophe in her life!

Meanwhile, Julian turned around and hid the intention in his eyes. The gaze that he cast on Willa was completely apathetic.

He nodded courteously. "Ms. Doyle.”

It was actually Julian!

Why did he come here?

Willa panicked ever so slightly in her heart. The medicinal herb in her hand dropped to the ground with a loud clatter.

"Yikes, girl, be careful with my medication," said the old man with a piteous expression.

Someone immediately picked up the medicinal herb.

"Mr. Shaw, what brings you here?” Willa concealed the panic in her heart and said calmly, "Did something happen with Susie?" "No, Susie's condition is getting better and better day by day now. This is all due to your contribution, Ms. Doyle," said Julian courteously. "So, I’m here because I'm taking the trip to express my gratitude to all of you, especially Ms. Doyle. I picked out a ring for you. Take a look to see if you like it."

"I..." Willa had never expected that there would come a day when Julian would actually give her a gift. She was

bewildered. There was no telling if it was out of shock or joy.

Julian paid no attention to her response and took out a delicate box from his pocket right away. He opened the box to reveal a ring.

The ring was encrusted fully with diamond fragments and there was a huge diamond about the size of a pigeon egg in the middle. It looked to be an extremely costly gift.

Moreover, it was a ring...a ring with a special meaning.

What was Julian's intention to get her a ring?

Julian's heart was beating violently beyond her control.

Julian did not comment further but he passed the box to Willa and then said in a courteous manner, "I shall not disturb you anymore here then. I will deliver the rest of the gifts to your rooms later."

As he was speaking, Joseph brought along Julian and left.

Willa looked at the ring box in her hand and Julian's departing silhouette. She could not regain her composure for a long time.

Only when Julian's silhouette vanished completely from her sight that she grasped the ring box tightly and her heart raced embarrassingly.

An unusual glint flashed past the old man’s gaze as he looked at the blushing Willa.

At night, Julian visited them personally just as expected. Then, he placed down a large pile of gifts in their rooms before he left.

The rest of the gifts were very valuable as well, but Willa was still holding the ring box. She was so fond of it that she could not bear to part with it.

She remembered something and her face was blushing so red it was as if blood would seep out soon.

She covered her face and was conflicted for a while before she took the ring and slipped it onto her left ring finger.

Soon afterward, she looked at it for a long while with a strong attachment before she took it off with a conflicting expression and slipped it onto another finger with no especially significant purpose.

Just as Willa was smiling foolishly at the ring when someone knocked on his door, Willa composed herself and then opened the door.

"Teacher?" Faint astonishment flashed past her eyes for a moment. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

The old man took a glance at the ring on Willa's hand with unknown intention and then walked into the room calmly.

"It seems that you like the ring very much?" said the old man.

"Not really," said Willa softly while blushing.

The old man narrowed his eyes. "Have you examined the gifts? Is there anything not right about these gifts?"

Wills hastily said, "Don't worry, Teacher. I’ve already examined everything. Those with more delicate structures, I've even disassembled them and checked with a device. There's nothing unusual about this. I believe Julian is sending us gifts sincerely."

The old man looked at the gifts that were mostly open on the floor before he cracked into a satisfied smile.

He looked around the room and then looked at the ring on Willa’s finger. "How about the ring? Have you examined the ring?"
