2024-07-21 03:46:29At this moment, Eleanor stepped forward and said to the old man: "Grandfather, Alexander is here."
Mr. Marshall, with a head full of silver hair, wearing a white suit, let go of Mary's small soft hand, without looking at Alexander, and said to the butler beside him: "Bring him the papers to sign."
"Yes, sir."
The butler went up to Alexander, took out a document, and coldly said: "This is the divorce agreement between you and Miss Eleanor. Sign it and Mr. Marshall will treat young Miss Mary. Rest assured, Mr. Marshall has found a donor for Mary's marrow, and you don't need to worry about the treatment costs."
Hearing this, Alexander's eyes filled with emotion, he looked at the butler with confusion and anger, then turned to Mr. Marshall and said: "Grandfather, Mary is my daughter, why not use my marrow?"
"Shut your mouth!"
Mr. Marshall shouted, his cold eyes staring at Alexander, gripping his cane: "Do you deserve to be Mary's father? Hurry up and sign, from now on, you and the Marshall family have no ties! Remember, her name is Mary Marshall, she belongs to the Marshall family, not the Reynolds family!"
Hearing this, Eleanor became anxious, saying: "Grandfather, I won't divorce Alexander, he is still Mary's father, I hope you reconsider."
Eleanor had been married to Alexander for four years, living under the same roof for four years, to say there were no feelings would be a lie.
Hearing Eleanor's words, Alexander was stunned.
It turned out, she acknowledged him as her husband, acknowledged him as Mary's father.
Slap!
The old man slapped Eleanor's face, angrily shouting: "You deserve a beating! When did you get to speak here? If you hadn't married a useless man, our Marshall family wouldn't be the laughingstock of Golden Harbor!"
The Marshall family members around also looked at her with cold eyes, a sneer on their faces.
Eleanor's eyes turned red, holding her cheek, she timidly stood aside.
Seeing Eleanor being hit, Alexander's heart tightened, clenching his fists.
His woman, how could she be bullied like this!
Then, Mr. Marshall glared at Alexander's flushed face and coldly said: "Without my consent, the hospital will not use your marrow, I have already bought all the suitable marrow for Mary, if you don't sign the divorce agreement, I will not treat Mary! Moreover, the treatment cost is more than 600 thousand USD, can you afford that?"
Hearing this, Alexander's heart trembled, the old man was truly ruthless!
Using Mary to force him and Eleanor to divorce!
Silence.
Alexander's heart was more filled with anger!
Eleanor also glanced at Alexander, her eyes red, with a few glittering tears at the corners of her eyes, feeling both disappointed and hopeful.
Her disappointment was that her husband did nothing at this moment.
Her hope was that her husband would resist, argue, take responsibility for this family, the responsibility of a husband, a father!
At this moment, Mary on the hospital bed opened her eyes, her face pale, her big lively eyes now dull, looking at Alexander standing amidst the crowd's scolding, and weakly said: "Uncle... it hurts..."
Uncle, his daughter could only call him 'uncle'...
Alexander was the young master of Dragon Sect!
He was the future Dragon Master!
But he couldn't even acknowledge the bloodline of his own daughter!
Just because he was useless, a good-for-nothing, a son-in-law living in his wife's family.
Hearing his daughter's weak, heart-wrenching voice, Alexander clenched his fist and said: "I will gather the money."
Hearing this, Eleanor's pupils dilated, her heart trembling, staring at Alexander's back.
He still had the appearance of a man.
Alexander turned, seriously looking at Eleanor who quickly turned away to wipe her tears, then left the hospital amidst the crowd's reproach.
"Grandfather, look, Alexander is really too insolent."
"Yes, grandfather, that worthless man dares to disobey you!"
The Marshall family members immediately fanned the flames.
Mr. Marshall just shook his head, saying nothing.
Could Alexander gather that much money?
Haha!
Eleanor watched Alexander's departing figure, feeling helpless.
Though she was a granddaughter of the Marshall family, all financial power was in her mother's hands, and this time it was the old man's order, even if she had some savings, she couldn't take it out.
...
At the bank entrance, Alexander Raynolds and Tiger Jones stood together. Tiger took out 600 thousand USD, handed it to Alexander in a cloth bag, and said: "Take it, use it first, no need to rush to pay me back."
Alexander accepted the bag, tears glistening, gratefully said: "Tiger, I will definitely pay you back soon!"
"Haiz, what are you saying, we're like brothers!"
Tiger Jones patted Alexander's shoulder, laughing.
"Tiger, if you dare to lend him money, we won't get married!" Suddenly, a shrill voice was heard, a beautifully dressed girl came over, filled with anger.
Slap!
She stepped forward and slapped Alexander, pointing at him and scolding: "Alexander, you really have no shame, how many times have you borrowed money from Tiger! You're not embarrassed, but I am!"
"Sienna, what are you doing!" Tiger anxiously grabbed the furious Sienna Payne.
This woman was Tiger's girlfriend, beautiful face, lovely figure, but with an arrogant personality, with a certain aura of disregard.
"What am I doing? Tiger, I'm warning you, if you lend him money, we won't get married!"
Sienna brushed Tiger's hand away, lifting her chin and crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Of course, a crowd had already gathered outside the door.
Tiger desperately explained: "Sienna, Mary has been hospitalized with leukemia and needs money urgently...."
"If that girl dies, so be it! Anyway, a worthless live-in son-in-law like him, who can't even recognize his own daughter, why are you helping him?" Sienna's words were like needles piercing the heart.
Alexander's hand tightened around the cloth bag, then he relaxed and stuffed the bag into Tiger's hands, laughing heartily: "Tiger, no need, I'll come to celebrate your wedding later."
With that, Alexander turned and quickly walked away from the place.
Behind him, Tiger's calls and an argument with Sienna could be heard.
Walking down the street, Alexander felt miserable inside. What should he do now?
At that moment, Eleanor called, asking him to return to the hospital.
Thinking it over, Alexander headed back to the hospital, meeting Eleanor at the entrance with a tense and worried face.
She ran over, handing Alexander a bank card, saying: "There are over 600 thousand here. I secretly saved it. Just say you borrowed it."
Alexander took the card, looking at the beautiful girl with delicate features, and suddenly felt warmth inside.
She was always so kind and gentle.
Four years, he had made her suffer for four years.
"Eleanor, I..."
Alexander choked up, never feeling more of a failure than now.
Since Eleanor married him, she had lost the glory of being the Marshall family's heiress and had become a target of ridicule.
Eleanor took a deep breath, feeling very aggrieved: "I just don't want Mary to lose her father."
Alexander's lips trembled slightly: "Thank you, I won't let you and Mary down."
"Ha ha, as expected, Grandpa was right. I knew you would secretly give money to this loser!"
Suddenly, Tommy Marshall appeared from the side, a cold and mocking smile on his face.
Caught, the two were done for!
Alexander frowned, watching Tommy swagger away, then looked at the anxious Eleanor. He softened his voice: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
In the hospital room, the old man was sternly criticizing Eleanor, and the card was naturally confiscated by mother-in-law Valeria, who scolded: "This worthless guy! No money and still wants to ask my daughter for money, truly garbage!"
Eleanor wanted to say something but was directly glared at by Valeria.
The Marshall family also joined in scolding, leaving nothing uncriticized about Alexander.
Suddenly!
A weak cry stunned everyone!
"Dad! Stop scolding my dad...." On the hospital bed, Mary cried, her big eyes filled with sparkling tears.
Dad....
This call of "Dad" deeply moved Alexander.
Since Mary was born, the Marshall family had not allowed him to interact with her. Three years, the longest time he had been with Mary was today.
And this "Dad" word, Mary had never called him before....
This was the first time!

For three years, it was the first time she called him dad.No matter what, he had to cure Mary!

Mr. Marshall began to ask politely, having already grasped the situation from the conversation earlier.The Reynolds family sent such valuable medical equipment and drugs, showing their status and power were far beyond what the Marshall family could compare to.Mr. Lewis just smiled, looking at Alexander, and said: "I only came to deliver the items; I don't know the rest."With that, he left the hospital room.Immediately, the people in the room fell silent."Who exactly is this Reynolds family, and why did they send these things? Does anyone know anyone from the Reynolds family?" Mr. Marshall asked.The Marshall family members shook their heads."Grandpa, maybe it's Alexander." To

The two were still bickering without lifting a finger.Alexander tried to intervene several times but couldn’t stop them, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.Nico secretly chuckled and whispered to Alexander: “Master, isn’t this the so-called happy headache?”“Happy headache, my ass. It’s just a headache, not happy at all. Why has it turned into this? This shouldn’t be happening.” Alexander rubbed his temples, beginning to reflect on the past and wondering where he had gone wrong.

Queen Master’s face darkened further, and the sense of unease in her heart grew stronger."So you’re saying that Alexander is much stronger than you?""He’s stronger than me, but if it came to a life-and-death battle, neither of us could be certain of the outcome.” the head of the guards replied, feeling that if it were a desperate fight, he still might be able to defeat Alexander, or at least injure both of them."Increase my protection level. I need the tightest security!"Queen Master said seriously."Understood, I will implement the highest level of protection."Queen Master weakly waved her hand, and the head of the guards smartly stepped back.Wilbur whispered: “Don’t worry too much about Alexander. I’ve already contacted several experts. In the end, we can make him unable to withstand it.""What about the development of the enhancement drug?"

After hearing Alexander’s report, Ward immediately understood what was going on.“Young Master Reynolds, I know those people. They are from Southern Mountain, a bunch of hot-headed drifters. They know how to keep a low profile, and it’s basically impossible to catch them. The only way is to drive them away. How about this: I can send a small team to watch over your construction site and scare them off.”Ward intended to ensure his lover’s safety more securely. Since he had decided to curry favor, he would go all the way. He directly dispatched a small team to the construction site as security guards to make sure nothing happened there.“This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Moreover, if they pull off something else, we’ll be even more passive. Do you know their background? Tell me directly.”Ward pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on a file on the table.“They have ties to the geomancer from last time. I suspect that it’s people from his sect who are unwilling to

Eleanor’s voice was slightly strained."I just finished some business and happened to run into Nana and Nico wandering around, so I took them to visit Mary. Lately, Mary has been learning all sorts of nonsense from the patients in the neighboring ward. Once her treatment is done, we should bring her home as soon as possible.""Oh, a

Joaquin sensing Queen Master’s thoughts, spoke slowly: “I think Alexander only has a few tricks up his sleeve. Xavier is an unruly fighter, relying solely on his physical strength. Anyone who undergoes proper training can defeat him.”“Joaquin, do you really think so?” Queen Master asked coldly.Joaquin shuddered, lowering his head in a panic, his voice mumbled: “I just speak my mind. I’m not saying it’s necessarily right.”“Hmph, while I may not understand everything, I know the basics. Xavier may not be a top-tier fighter, but he can still reach the level of a high-ranking fighter.”“Among the Dragon Sect’s guards, there are plenty of people stronger than Xavier. But if we talk about who could easily overpower Xavier like Alexander did, I’m afraid not many could. Over the years, Alexander must have been biding his time.

I can’t make it too obvious, don’t you think?” Joaquin replied with a sycophantic smile.“Hmph!”Queen Master snorted coldly, dismissing Joaquin.Just then, Wilbur entered with a tournament schedule in hand, frowning slightly: “The match between Alexander and Xavier has been canceled. I’m still investigating the exact reason.”“Canceled?

Alexander took Nico and Nana to Mary’s hospital room. When Mary saw Alexander, she immediately rushed into his arms and happily kissed his face.“Dad, you finally came to visit me. Who are these uncle and aunt?”Mary tilted her head and looked at Nico and Nana.Nico’s face twitched. Based on status, he should be on the same level as Mary, but he wasn’t sure whether he was considered an older or younger brother of Mary.“Mary, this is my disciple Nico. You can call him ‘brother’.” Alexander said.“Ah?” Mary looked at Nico carefully, and Nico forced out an awkward yet polite smile.“This is my brother? But he’s older than Dad.”Mary said innocently.Nico’s smile cracked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.“Mary, this is your sister Nana.” Alexander continued with the introduction.Nana puffed her cheeks and said unhappily: “Alexander, the way you introduced me isn’t right. Mary should call me ‘aunt,’ otherwise the family hierarchy will be messed up.”“She’s so beautiful, she’s not an aunt, sh
