Virginia's frustration quickly shifted to disbelief as her expression changed. "He has the Daves' secret medicine?" She studied the man standing next to Silas. He didn't look like someone from the Daves. In fact, she didn't recognize him as one of them at all. Their eyes met briefly. Leon, with years of experience in reading people, knew exactly what Virginia was thinking with just a glance. She didn't believe him. He didn't respond but walked past Virginia, heading straight for the door of the intensive care unit. He peered through the glass at the elderly man lying in the bed. If it weren't for Angel, he wouldn't have bothered showing up even if the Johnstons had begged him. "What are you doing?" Virginia, already irritated, watched Leon ignore her and walk past without a word. His actions seemed rude to her. Her voice grew sharp. "Doesn't he have any manners?" She couldn't understand why Silas kept bringing such strange people to the Johnstons. Hearing her outburst, Leon glanced back at Virginia, mentally shaking his head. Although he didn't know who this woman was, it was clear she had connections to the Johnstons. Was this how they treated their guests? It was a bit uncivilized. He frowned, wondering what kind of spell the Johnstons had cast on Angel. She was always running around, so consumed by them. Virginia raised her hand to signal for the bodyguards to throw Leon out, but Silas quickly stepped in, pulling her aside. "Why are you stopping me?" Virginia snapped, swinging her arm to shake off Silas's hand. She seemed annoyed by the contact. Silas quickly released her. "Ms. Dolton, please don't act so rashly. This man really does have the Daves' secret medicine.""Can he really?" Virginia was doubtful, eyeing Leon with suspicion. The man didn't look wealthy at all. His clothes were plain, nothing like what a Daves member would wear. The Daves' main family members were known for their luxury, always living with the highest standards of elegance. This man, though decent, was nowhere near their level. She continued to glance at him, trying to figure out how he could possibly have the Daves' secret medicine. Seeing Virginia's doubt, Silas grew anxious. "This is our only shot. Shouldn't we at least try?" Virginia knew she wouldn't get the medicine from the Daves. Leaving things to chance seemed like the only option. She raised an eyebrow, considering the proposal. Silas clenched his fists, realizing his tone had been a little too direct. Nervously, he asked, "Don't you think we should at least give it a chance?" Three years ago, Silas had been just a regular doctor at Johnston Enterprise's private hospital. It was Virginia who had stepped in when his mother was hospitalized and they couldn't afford the bills. She had helped save her. Silas had always intended to repay her for her past kindness, but Virginia had disappeared without a trace. Then, three years later, he received a call from her. A rush of excitement surged through him, but that quickly turned to confusion. Her first question threw him off guard. She asked how to turn a man, recently saved from the brink of death, into a vegetable. In that instant, Silas's excitement vanished. His heart raced with panic. After a brief hesitation, he reluctantly gave an answer, feeling obligated due to the favor she had done for him years ago. When they arrived at the hospital, Silas's world tilted. The person Virginia had been referring to was none other than Steven. He had never imagined Virginia could be so ruthless. Turning Steven into a vegetable was a step too far. He wasn't ready to have a death on his conscience. Virginia's gaze hardened. "Where did you find this man?"Silas, seeing an opportunity, quickly responded, "This morning, as I was heading to the hospital, I saw him stopped by two bodyguards. I went up and asked, and he said he was here to save Steven." Virginia's frown deepened. "He said he was here to save Steven?" The Johnstons had been careful to keep Steven's condition a secret. Only a select few close to the family could have known about his location. "Yes," Silas replied. "I thought it was odd and didn't believe him. So, I told him that Steven's illness wasn't something anyone could treat. Right now, only the Daves' secret medicine could help him." "Then he said he had the Daves' secret medicine. Imagine my surprise." At that moment, Silas wasted no time. He took the man straight to the ICU. "No one would lie to the Johnstons. If he said he had it, he must have it," Silas said, his voice firm. Virginia's frustration eased slightly. Silas had a point. Given the Johnstons' position in Halton, no one would dare deceive them. She had only one shot at this, and she couldn't afford to miss it. With a slight frown, Virginia walked up to the man. "May I ask your name?" Leon looked up briefly. "Daves." Virginia raised an eyebrow. "The same family from Kreshill?" Leon didn't flinch. He had already given his last name, and the secret medicine was in his possession. What else could he be? He answered simply, "Yes." Before Virginia could respond, Leon gestured toward the ICU. "Can I go in now?" He had noticed something unsettling in Angel's expression the day before. If Steven's condition didn't improve soon, Angel's worry would only grow. It was better to act quickly and resolve the situation. Virginia's eyes narrowed. "Now? You're in such a rush?" She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. There was no such thing as a free lunch. His impatience made her cautious.Leon nodded, uninterested in small talk. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a small wooden box, and opened it in front of Virginia. As the box opened, a warm, woody aroma filled the room, quickly spreading through the air. The scent of herbs blended with fresh wood, creating a fragrance both soothing and grounding. It wasn't overpowering, but just enough to bring a sense of calm to the entire room. She knew that scent. Virginia had only encountered it once before, years ago, when she was a child. It had been during the Daves' eldest daughter's birthday. That day, the head of the Daves family had been in such high spirits that he generously shared several prized family items with the crowd, even with distant relatives. What Virginia had received on that occasion was the Daves' secret medicine. Unfortunately, her father had taken it away after just one day to offer it to the Zimmers as a gesture of goodwill. Now, with that same scent filling the air, Virginia's memories surged to the forefront. She instantly knew who the man before her was. "Mr. Daves, please change into a surgical gown here," she said, smiling warmly as she opened the door for Leon, nearly bowing as she did. Her previous coldness was gone, replaced by genuine hospitality. Leon didn't show much reaction, simply nodding slightly before heading into the room to change. Using this opportunity, Virginia quickly pulled Silas aside, her voice filled with urgency. "Keep an eye on things here. I need to make a quick call." Silas nodded, and Virginia rushed to the stairwell. She couldn't wait to make the call. Pulling out her phone, she called Lance "Lance, there's no need for you to come pick me up." Her luck seemed unbelievable. A member of the Daves had come to find her! It felt like a blessing. "Why not?" Lance's voice sounded concerned. Virginia's voice was sweet as ever, and her words flowed smoothly. "I had planned to inform the Daves that I was returning. But when they heard Steven was sick, they immediately came over to help."Her phrasing was deliberate, carefully guiding the conversation. "I didn't want to bother them, thinking I could handle it alone, but their eagerness was overwhelming." "Really?" Lance's hand, which had been flipping through papers, came to a halt. His tone shifted, excitement creeping into his voice.
