Chapter 18 What a Pair of Siblings!
"The Nelsons outrank most of the families. You have power and money, and I can gain a lot from bringing the blessing. If Young Master Remi recovers, Madam Nelson will pay me big time. Why wouldn't I take the job?"
Cecelia wouldn't reveal her true purpose, so in order not to rouse suspicion, she had to downgrade herself into a narrow-minded woman who came here for money and power.
However, these words came through the ajar door to Remington's ears without a single syllable missing.
Remington got depressed hearing those words.
He had seen it clear before that this woman was harboring some purpose.
She was such a snob, apparently taking this job for the Nelson money and the title of Mrs. Nelson!
Her words didn't rouse Ronald's suspicion, and with his lips curving up a smile, Ronald said, "Then take good care of my brother. I'll pay you much as long as he's better!"
"Thank you, Young Master Ronald."
"As for the quarrel thing between Barry, Kalvin, and Andres, I've heard about it, and my mother and wife spoiled my kids too much, and my wife sometimes goes too far. I apologize to you on behalf of them. You don't need to take that personally!"
Saying, Ronald reached a hand to grab one of her shoulders and secretly gripped it.
He locked his pair of sharp eyes on hers like a hawk targeting its prey.
Did he just paw her the first time he met her?
Was he implying something by that?
Cecelia swayed back her shoulder and smiled lightly, "I get it. I won't take it personally!"
"Ahem..."
At that moment, Remington's intense coughs came out of the room, and Cecelia was urged to go back in.
Before the bed, she asked Jackson Chamber, "Dr. Chamber, is Young Master Remi alright?"
Jackson Chamber replied, "Young Master Remi's mania is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. He'll blow up from time to time. His heart and lung recovered well, and if taken care of with medical treatment, he'll have the chance to get well!"
Ronald Nelson gave a stare at Jackson Chamber, "Much obliged, Dr. Chamber. Please prescribe some medications for my brother!"
Jackson Chamber took out two bottles of medicine from his medical kit, handed them to Cecelia, and told her about the volume.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Chamber. I'll keep my eyes on Young Master Remi and remind him to have them!"
"Thank you, Miss Linsey, for taking care of my brother. I'll be back to check on him in a few days!"
After Jackson Chamber checked on Remington and prescribe medications, Ronald had to say goodbye and take him away.
They walked out of the door together, and when they left the Aroma Villa, Ronald whispered and asked, "Why would Remington wake up for no reason?"
"I'm not aware of that. I'm also wondering why Young Master Remin grabbed his mind suddenly. Maybe I miscalculated the volume of the potion."
Ronald Nelson exhaled a long sigh and asked, "How soon will the medicine today take effect?"
"Regularly one month after he takes it."
"Excellent!"
A sinister hint flickered in Ronald's eyes and his lips curved up into a complacent smile.
Remington put on a long face In the main bedroom and felt enraged so long as he imagined the scene and conversation between his brother and Cecelia.
Cecelia didn't realize the man was upset but was scrutinizing the two bottles of medicines Jackson Chamber prescribed.
She took a shot of them and sent it to her assistant Verda Hill to do some searching.
When she didn't talk, the whole room was quiet like no one was there. Yet, Remington shouted, "I need to the bathroom!"
"I heard you. Keep your voice down. I'm not deaf!"
She placed down the bottles, stood up, and asked, "Pee or dump? How are you gonna do it? Need me to carry you there or you'll finish it on your bed?"
"Get outta here, and find a guy back!"
