Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 24 - He Must Be Planning to Kidnap My Daughter-in-Law

In a short while, he returned to the room with the herbs.

He also brought along the prescription that Professor Parker had previously written.

Serena Summers looked at the prescription and couldn’t help furrowing her brow.

She picked up a pen beside her, crossed out three herbs on the recipe, and replaced them with ones of similar properties but milder.

Then she added a few new herbs at the end.

Professor Parker took the written prescription and glanced at it, and instantly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Good!

Really good!”

Professor Parker did not hide his inner joy and burst into hearty laughter.

Everyone present exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

Master Shaw asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?

Is there something wrong with this prescription?”

Professor Parker was known for his arrogant temperament.

Master Shaw seldom saw him laugh so heartily; his curiosity about the prescription grew.

Pointing at the prescription in his hand, Professor Parker laughed, “This young lady has modified a few herbs on my formula, and I’ve learned a great deal.

Why didn’t I think of it before?”

The herbs that Serena Summers replaced were cold and potent; although they were exceptionally effective for detoxification, Lucas Shaw’s body couldn’t withstand them.

Lucas Shaw’s body was like a balloon leaking air; using such potent medicine would only cause irreversible damage.

So, Serena Summers found some herbs with similar properties but of a warmer nature.

However, these few herbs were very rare; the likelihood of gathering them quickly was slim, which was why he had not considered them before.

Professor Parker, in all earnestness, patted his chest and assured, “This young lady’s medical skills are definitely superior to mine!

Truly a worthy disciple of that old man Victor Bennett, indeed naturally gifted!”

Upon hearing this, Master Shaw felt a surge of vicarious pride.

His face was full of pride, “That’s correct, who else could it be but my granddaughter-in-law!”

Seeing Master Shaw’s proud expression, Professor Parker felt sour inside.

Why hadn’t he encountered such an exceptional granddaughter-in-law?

His sons only knew how to spend money and have fun all day, showing no initiative to alleviate his worries as their grandfather!

Old Master Parker sneered inwardly, secretly hoping for Serena Summers and Lucas Shaw to divorce!

The moment they divorced, he would entice his grandson to bring Serena home!

Little did he know, Lucas Shaw, already unconscious, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

A smile appeared on Serena Summers’ face, but she could not hide the paleness of her complexion, “Master never tells me about the past; turns out I have a grand-uncle too.”

Administering acupuncture to Lucas Shaw had already consumed a lot of her strength, and now with Professor Parker pestering her with endless questions, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Professor Parker, once the topic shifted to medicine, became engrossed in excitement, completely oblivious to Serena Summers’ discomfort.

Standing by, Liam Shaw noticed the paleness on Serena Summers’ face and quickly spoke up to stop Professor Parker, “Professor, after having just administered an acupuncture treatment, my sister-in-law must be exhausted.

Let’s let her rest for a while.”

“In this period, Lucas and my sister-in-law will stay at the family home.

If you wish to visit her, the Shaw Family is always welcoming.”

Professor Parker was taken aback; noticing the ghastly paleness of Serena’s complexion, he quickly said, “I got too excited just now.

Serena, get some rest.

I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”

Having said that, he hurriedly took his medicine box and rushed out.

As a nationally renowned medical expert, Professor Parker has countless patients waiting for him every day.

This time, hearing of Lucas Shaw’s relapse, he promptly dropped what he was working on to come over.

Now, seeing that Lucas’s condition had stabilized and Serena was by his side, Professor Parker was immediately relieved.

He bid Serena a warm farewell and quickly departed.

After Professor Parker left, Master Shaw quietly sidled up to Liam Shaw and murmured, “I think this old man has ulterior motives; he definitely wants to steal our granddaughter-in-law.

Don’t let him come to our home too often in the future.”

Liam Shaw, powerless, replied, “Grandfather, wasn’t it you who called the professor here?”

Master Shaw: “…I was just worried that Serena, a young girl, might not be able to handle everything alone!”

Master Shaw guiltily averted his eyes, his tone clearly lacking conviction.

Liam Shaw chuckled inwardly, his tone filled with helplessness, “Now that you’ve seen how capable Serena is, are you still worried?”

“Not worried!

Our Serena is amazing!

The Shaw Family has truly picked up a treasure!”

Master Shaw’s voice was full of pride.

Previously, he had known that Serena was a disciple of Victor Bennett, but he still had some underlying concerns.

However, after having witnessed Serena’s impressive medical skills, Master Shaw was no longer worried.

Clearing his throat, he said to Serena warmly, “Girl, you must be exhausted, huh?

You’ve really worked hard today.”

Serena waved her hand, and her pale little face revealed a pair of charming little tiger teeth, “It’s all right, Grandfather.

This is my duty.”

Lucas Shaw is her husband, and she definitely didn’t want to become a young widow just after getting married!

Hearing this, Master Shaw looked at Serena with an expression full of satisfaction.

He nodded his head and turned, leaving the bedroom with Liam Shaw.

As the bedroom door closed, Serena Summers instantly deflated.

She leaned back and sank into the soft big bed.

Beside her lay the handsome face and delicate features of the man.

Right now, his face was somewhat pale, his thin lips completely devoid of color, his appearance extremely frail, as if he were a dry twig that could be easily snapped.

Serena lay on her side, her watery eyes staring straight at Lucas Shaw, thinking: Her husband, he’s really good looking.

He’s exactly her type.

Within the spacious bedroom, only their overlapping breaths remained in the silence.

Serena stared unabashedly at her husband’s sleeping face, eyes unblinking, gaze hot and intense without any attempt to conceal it.

As sleepiness crept upon her, Serena yawned and slowly closed her eyes.

Before falling completely asleep, Serena suddenly felt a chill, a coldness that made her draw into a tight ball.

In a daze, she felt a source of warmth.

Instinctively moving towards it, she bumped into a wall of flesh.

Her forehead pressed against a hard “wall,” Serena made a few uncomfortable whimpers, feeling somewhat uneasy.
