After all , she had managed to alleviate his pain with just one needle she was no ordinary person ! Really ? Thats wonderful ! Miss Newton , as long as you cure my illness , name any price you wish ! I dont want money , Hope replied .

I just need you to promise me one thing .

Mr.

Hester frowned .

This young lady was 1/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Conditionn + 5 Points from the Newton family , wassnt she ? Was this a ploy to take over the Hesséer familys assets ? If that were the case he would rather endure the pain than handbover the Hester Group to them .

However , Hope said , I want you tossever all ties with the Newton Group andheever cooperate with them again .

Why ? Arent you Miss Newton from thee Newton family ? Peter asked , confusedd .

Looking at Hopes humble appearance , Mar.

Hester realized something , Ill agree to your request , but only after youve cured myy illness .

Of course , Hope replied .

She estimated thee time and realized that given the ruckus theyy had caused , the nurses would have called forr the doctor by now .

2/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points I must go .

Well discuss your treatment further after youre cured .

Until then , I hope youll keep my involvement confidential .

Peter , please escort Miss Newton out .

Hope didnt refuse .

She needed to save money for Richards new company , and every bit helped .

As they left , the nurse and doctor arrived , followed by Mr.Newton .

Mr.

Hester , are you all right ? The nurse mentioned someone causing a disturbance , the doctor said , rushing to check on him .

A figure like Mr.

Hester couldnt afford any mishaps in the hospital .

Mr.

Hester waved them off , Its nothing , just 3/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points a misunderstanding .

Shes already left .

The nurse was indignant , But I saw her sticking a needle into your head ! This is no small matter ! What if she … Before she could finish , Mr.

Hester gave her a sharp look that silenced her immediately .

Mr.

Newton , frowned .

He had heard about the needle and suspected some unorthodox treatment .

Since Mr.

Hester was an important partner of the Newton family , any harm to him would affect the cooperation between the two families .

He added , Mr.

Hester , Ive informed my third son , who studied medicine abroad .

When he returns , he may be able to help .

Please dont let yourself be deceived .

4/12 Mr.

Hester recalled Hopes appearance and compared it to Mr.

Newton , who was clad in designer clothes .

No wonder Hope had made such a request .

With a cold expression , he replied , Please , Mr.

Newton , mind your own business .

I need to rest .

Everyone , please leave .

As he lay back , Mr.

Newton , unable to force the issue , left with a huff .

In the car , Peter glanced at Hope , who had removed her disguise and was now looking as stunning as ever .

His amazement and confusion were palpable .

Do you really think you can cure my father ? Hope turned to him , studying his face and 5/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points his lower body before answering , Of course .

And I can also cure your … erection problem .

Peters hand trembled , and he nearly swerved into the roadside grass , barely managing to regain control .

Flushing with embarrassment and shock , he stammered , How … how did you know ? I could tell , Hope pointed to his face .

Any decent doctor could spot it right away .

Peters face darkened further .

No one knew about his problem .

Though his friends often invited him to bars , he never got involved with women .

They all assumed he was gay , but only he knew the truth he wasnt disinterested in women ; he just couldnt .

6/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points How do you treat it ? Take a few doses of medicine .

Since his father trusted Hopes medical skills , Peter figured he might as well try it himself .

Noticing Peters hesitation , Hope sent him a friend request and then shared a prescription via Twitter .

Take one dose tonight , and youll see results by morning .

But if you want to cure it completely , one dose wont be enough .

Peter was skeptical but saved the prescription in silence .

He thought hed try it out on his father first ; if it worked , then hed let his father continue with her treatment .

After his condition was exposed , Peter 7/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points felt strangely exposed next to Hope .

Uncomfortable , he increased the cars speed , and before long , they arrived at his villa .

He quickly dropped Hope off and turned to leave without a word .

For the next week , Hope not only had to treat Easton but also Mr.

Hester .

Acupuncture was exhausting , so she decided not to return to the Newton family for now , avoiding any trouble they might cause .

She needed to focus on her work .

She slipped easily into Eastons house , surprised to see that the once overgrown yard was now neat and well kept .

The usual spot where she climbed the wall had been paved with stone slabs .

Had this been done for her ? She could have used the front gate , but old 8/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points habits die hard .

Plus , climbing the wall was more discreet and kept the Newton family from finding out and troubling Easton .

She looked up , hoping to spot Easton , but saw no sign of him behind the large windows on the second floor .

Rushing upstairs , she found Easton sitting in his bedroom , his expression dark and radiating an aura of frustration .

Whats wrong ? Did someone make you angry ? Easton lowered his gaze , trying to conceal the unease flickering in his eyes .

No.

Hope was puzzled .

Had Easton simply been cooped up at home too long , causing his 9/12 IIILU TI Day and pulled out two packets of powdered herbs she had ground earlier one for itching and the other for inducing sleep .

She had prepared them on a whim while in the car .

This one is for itching ; this one is for sleep .

Keep them with you in case someone tries to harm you .

You can use them to protect yourself .

She handed the packets to Easton , feeling the warmth of his large , strong hands as he took them .

Hope couldnt help but trace the edge of his palm with her fingertip as she withdrew her hand .

No one is trying to harm me .

Though he said that , Easton still accepted the packets , the tension in his heart dissipating .

10/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points Hopes eyes drifted over the bruises on Eastons forehead and hands .

With injuries like these , dont tell me no one is trying to harm you ! Easton remained silent , his voice calm as he said , Theyre not human .

True Hope agreed , bending down and gently cupping Eastons face in her hands , tilting his head up .

Anyone who hurts you is garbage .

The softness of his face under her hands made Easton stiffen .

He tried to push himself back in his wheelchair , but Hopes expression became stern .

Dont move .

Her face drew closer , her warm breath 11/12 Chapter 11 : Peters Condition + 5 Points brushing against Eastons skin , disorienting him .

His gaze locked with hers , lingering on her full lips , then traveling down to her delicate chin , her pale neck ….

His hands tightened around the wheelchairs armrests as he quickly lowered his gaze , unable to meet her eyes .

What are you doing ? 12/12
