The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 523

The Boyd family was in complete disarray after Vivienne walked out the door.

Wendy collapsed in a faint, while Teresa, Nancy, and their daughters, were terrified, at a loss for what to do next.

The servants reacted first, calling the doctor and fetching clothes for the family.

Theodore and Hayden were livid with rage when they returned and saw the chaos.

Nobody had expected Vivienne, the girl from the countryside, to be so ruthless – not only had she set a pack of wolves on them, but she had also chopped off Wendy's hand.

How on earth did she manage to get a wolf?

And how did she have the power to control the wolves?

Wendy was right; Vivienne was dabbling in dark arts!

By the time Theodore and the others were dressed, the doctor had finished treating Wendy.

Theodore rushed to meet the doctor.

"Dr. Marcus, how's my mom doing?" Theodore asked.

Dr. Marcus was the Boyd family's private physician. Given the circumstances, they could not exactly broadcast their problems, so they called him.

"Madam Wendy received timely care; her life is not in danger. She just needs plenty of rest to recover," Dr. Marcus replied.

"And her hand... Is there any chance it can be saved?" Theodore pressed.

Dr. Marcus pondered momentarily before answering, "My skills are insufficient to reattach it. In fact, there's no hospital in the country capable of such a feat, but..."

He paused, then continued, "There is someone I've heard of, the Specter Healer, who is said to have the skill to reattach limbs. There was once a man paralyzed for ten years whom he helped to stand again with just a few needles. However, the Specter Healer is elusive – finding him may be next to impossible."

Hayden chimed in, "I've heard of the Specter Healer too. They say he's over a hundred years old and possesses exceptional medical skills, capable of not only reattaching limbs but also of snatching lives back from the jaws of death. If we could get him here, it would not only save Mom but also benefit the Boyd family greatly."

Dr. Marcus shook his head. "Specter Healer is quite unpredictable, and he doesn't treat just any patient."

Teresa scoffed. "What are you saying? If we offer him a high enough price, why wouldn’t he be interested?"

To her, whether Wendy's hand could be reattached was irrelevant – the old lady was in her twilight years anyway. But the Boyd family still relied on Wendy's guidance, and losing her influence would be detrimental to their standing in Sea City, a prospect Teresa found unacceptable.

If word got out that it was Vivienne, Wendy’s granddaughter-in-law, who had maimed her, it would not just be Vivienne who suffered the repercussions; the entire Boyd family would be tarnished.

Dr. Marcus gave Teresa a look that bordered on pity. "With the Specter Healer's reputation, even when the royals of Flence Country offered him a fortune, he did not acquiesce. Countless wealthy families in Veridia have offered tens of billions to secure his services, only to be turned away based on his whims. Do you really think he's short on money?"

Specter Healer was his idol, and he would not stand someone disrespecting him.
