CHAPTER 8 EXCEPTION

" What are your terms?''

Charmaine, spread her hands and said, " I already mentioned it. Back then, I had no choice because of the dire situation I was in. I had no intention of taking advantage of Mr. Emil.''

''But there is one condition. For the best treatment results, I need to live with you.''

Kane was deeply moved. ''Wow, Chara! You're so eager to offer yourself and move in together? Emil, you've hit the jackpot. Chara's madly in love with you!''

Emil was speechless.

Charmaine had no words.

Ignoring his goofy younger brother, Emil squinted slightly, staring at Charmaine.

He let a cold , sarcastic smirk and said, '' Ms. Nelson's attempt to get my attention is a little lowly, don't you think ?''

He thought she was different from the other woman who tried to get his attention, but it turns out she's not different at all.

Charmaine's mouth twitched. Was this man overly full of himself?

She reiterated, '' It's purely for the best treatment results.''

Emil scoffed, clearly not buying her earnest declaration.

Charmaine didn't bother to explain further.

Kane swiftly moved between them, beaming with joy.

He promised, '' Chara, Don't worry! Just stay with us. I guarantee you'll be so happy here that you'll never want to go back to Nelsons!''

Charmaine said, '' I still need to go back to pack my things.''

Kane hurriedly called the butler to and instructed him to have the driver ready.

Just before she left, Charmaine suddenly remembered something. '' Oh, by the way, Can I see the results from my examination earlier?''

Tad glanced to his master's expression, the stepped forward. '' Ms. Nelson, you're in excellent health. There's no need to worry about.''

Charmaine looked at examination result handed to her, raising her eyebrows slightly.

In her previous life, after donating a kidney, her health deteriorated drastically. It gotten worst over time. But the data in this report showed that she was in perfect health.

According to the timeline from her past life, the kidney donation would take place within the next two months.

Charmaine furrowed her brow, then tucked the report away.

After she left, Tad stepped forward and quietly reported, '' We've received news about Robin.''

Kane, who was busy instructing the servants to prepare the guest room next to Emil's room, nearly jumped. '' Robin?!''

After Emil's accident, the Crosses had been searching far and wide for a cure. They consulted with the top doctors from all over the world but no avail.

Their last hope lay with Basil Field, the most holistic medicine expert, known for his ability to heal even seemingly incurable conditions.

However, Basil had retired from Beacon Hospital a few years back, embarking on a world tour with a group of highly respected researchers.

The last anyone heard from him, he had contacted Beacon Hospital, instructing them to take special care of hi only apprentice, Robin, If Robin, ever showed up. This showed how highly Basil regarded Robin's skills.

Tad nodded, '' Yes, Mr. Kane. It's Robin.''

Kane was overjoyed. '' This is fantastic! Emil's leg can be saved! Where is Robin now?''

Tad replied, '' The Nelsons recently put out word that Robin is interested in collaborating with them to produce a newly developed drug. The agreement will be signed soon. I've already arranged for people to keep an eye on the Nelsons' pharmaceutical division.''

Kane was thrilled. He exclaimed, '' Great, great, this is awesome! The Nelsons are our in-laws. Chara and Emil's marriage is practically a done deal. Besides, Chara's very concerned about Emil's leg injury. It seems we'll soon find Robin and get Emil treated.

As for Charmaine claiming she could treat Emil's leg, Kane dismissed it as a joke between a married couple.

So many top doctors had failed. He believed Chara's treatment for Emil were nothing more than just giving a massage here and there.

Emil pressed his lips together, his eyes flickering with a hint of emotion.

Seeing his expression, Kane leaned in with a playful grin. '' I knew it. You have a special spot for Chara.''

As Emil's cousin, Kane knew his quirks better than anyone.

Since childhood, Emil had never shown interest in women. Even in his rebellious years, he had never indulged in any wild escapades; the same applied for three years he was away.

After that incident, he kept everyone at a distance. But Charmaine was the one exception. She had broken through all of that.

Kane thought, See, men never forget their first woman. Even the mighty Emil isn't immune to this curse.

Emil could easily tell what thoughts were behind Kane mischievous expression.
