His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1305

After some thought, Maria stood up and said, “What about this? I’ll look for him since he won’t answer my call.”

That earned her a surprised look from Fabian. “He doesn’t even want to answer your calls, so are you sure he’ll be willing to meet you? Even so, would he agree to your request?”

“We can’t talk things out on the phone. When we meet later, I’ll stop Mr. Austin from leaving, so he will have no choice but to listen to whatever I say.

“I heard he’s busy with something at the institute’s lab, so I bet I could meet him if I wait long enough. Plus, I have a great gift for him, and I’m sure it’s something he’ll be interested in!” Maria pinched her fingers mid-air, smiling confidently.

“It’s all talk now, and you’re planning to spend so much already? Do you think my money grows on trees?” Fabian was displeased after he learned that his wife would spend money on Austin.

His business had not been faring well recently, so he wanted to seek help from Cameron, his brother-in-law, who had rejected him coldly. If it were not for that, Fabian would not have thought of finding the miracle doctor to cure Anastasia’s illness to get Cameron to owe him a favor.

However, he was not confident in this plan and doubted Austin, “the miracle doctor,” thinking he was a conman. Even if the doctor was legit, he was unsure if he could treat Anastasia’s illness because that was something many doctors had failed to do over the years.

Hence, he thought engaging the miracle doctor would be a waste of money. Fabian would only pay the doctor after Anastasia’s illness was cured. By then, he would be willing to pay more than the agreed fees.

Maria had a different opinion about this. “How could we get him to help us without paying him a considerable sum first? He’s a miracle doctor and not an ordinary one you see at the clinics. It won’t work if we don’t show him our sincerity!

“Listen to me; you must spend your money on this! If that doctor cures your niece’s illness, we’ll get even wealthier with your brother-in-law’s help!”

Fabian had to agree with Maria’s words. Still, he was doubtful because miracle doctors typically behaved strangely and were conceited. “Then, are you sure it’s going to work?”

“Of course! It’s difficult to find someone who wouldn’t get tempted by money. You were arrogant and self-righteous back then, weren’t you? But look at you now, treating money like it’s the most important thing in your life!”

Fabian felt embarrassed when his wife used him as an example in this case. He waved and scoffed. “Tsk! Why are you bringing that up? Did you have to use me as an example?”

“I’m just trying to say that money is everything in this world! Those miracle doctors are all after money, aren’t they? They’re only arrogant because the other party isn’t offering them enough!” Maria justified indifferently. “You’ll hear good news from me soon. I’ll wait outside the institute for him, and I’m sure I’ll see him!”

“You…” After some hesitation, Fabian realized he did not have a better plan. “Go ahead. I’ll prepare some more gifts for Anastasia for the time being.”

“We agreed to get the miracle doctor to treat her illness, didn’t we? Why are you still preparing? You aren’t even this generous to our daughter!” Maria became displeased upon hearing that Fabian would prepare more birthday gifts for Anastasia, who was only his niece.

“We need to have a backup plan! We’re not sure enough if you can get the miracle doctor to come yet. Even if you could do that, we won’t be sure if he can cure Anastasia’s illness. Her birthday party is coming up soon. You can’t expect me to go there empty-handed, can you?”

Maria thought his words made sense and stopped opposing him. She just gritted her teeth about it. “I must get the miracle doctor to come to her party!”

‘How dare he hang up on me? I must bring him here to regain my pride!’
