“That is indeed a rare medication. However, through my treatments and health struggles, I’ve managed to build some connections in the medical field over the years. One of my friends has access to this medicine. I can ask them to get it for you.”
“Really? That would be wonderful!”
Justin’s face lit up with joy. “Grant, how can I ever repay your help?”
Grant’s eyes took on an ambiguous gleam as he smirked. “Though I’ve been in Meridan, I’ve heard a lot about how much you dote on Ms. Thompson, treating her like a treasure. If I ever return to Savrow and wish to befriend her, would you oppose it?”
Justin felt his heart clench. His grip tightened on the teacup until his knuckles turned white.
“Sir, you’re putting Mr. Justin in a difficult position. Ms. Thompson is his cherished lover. He would hide her away if he could. Even if you’re his elder brother, I’m not sure he’d be willing to share her with you,” Clarice interjected with a half-joking tone.
However, though her words sounded light-hearted, they carried an underlying sharpness.
The implication was clear.
Even for his own brother, Justin might not be willing to share anything with him—be it his love, his power, or his status. So what if Grant was his lifesaver?
Would Justin truly yield if his brother wanted to reclaim his place at the Salvador Corporation?
“Don’t say that, Clarice.”
Grant’s expression darkened slightly. “Justin is my brother. We’ve grown up together, and I know his character well.”
“Grant, you don’t have to be friends with Bella.”
Though Justin’s tone was calm, his gaze was icy. “When I marry her, she’ll be your sister-in-law, making you guys closer than friends. Isn’t it better that way?”
Grant was momentarily stunned, then laughed. “You’re right.”
