Chapter 1131:
“Just do whatever you can, Brendon. I’m at peace with this—it’s simply my bad luck that brought this illness into my life.” Yolanda’s eyes filled with tears that began streaming down her pale cheeks.
She already looked frail and sickly, but seeing her cry made her seem even more heartbreakingly fragile. The tears slipping from her eyes felt like a vise around Brendon’s heart, and every protective instinct in him roared to life. Suddenly, his entire demeanor changed as resolve hardened his features. “Actually, I just thought of something. There’s a new approach we could try, and this time it might actually work…”
“What way?” Yolanda and Katie asked at the same time.
“It’s a secret,” Brendon teased with a sly grin.
“Well, I trust you, Brendon,” Yolanda said, smiling, though deep down she had her doubts. He’d made so many promises before—and hadn’t kept a single one. Locating a healer like King, famous for miraculous cures, was turning out to be far harder than she’d expected. If only she had some pull in Lorbridge, maybe she’d have tracked King down by now.
“Come on, Brendon, can’t you tell us now? Why all the mystery?” Katie pouted.
“You’ll find out soon enough,” Brendon replied, still grinning. Unaware of Yolanda’s thoughts, he had indeed come up with a plan. But honestly, it was more of a hopeful shot in the dark than any certainty of success.
The next day, Christina was sketching a design in her study when her phone buzzed. It was Davina on the line.
“What’s up? Why the sudden call?” Christina asked, her tone casual.
“Didn’t you see the news?” Davina sounded a bit surprised.
“No, I’ve been busy with my sketches,” Christina said, calm as ever.
“I’ll send you a link. Watch the live stream,” Davina said before hanging up.
Christina could sense Davina’s excitement. Soon, the link dropped in her inbox. Christina clicked on it without hesitation. There was Brendon, live on camera.
“My wife is suffering terribly from her illness, and only King can save her. I’m here, begging King to heal my wife,” Brendon said, voice thick with pain and love, laying it on for the viewers. “No matter the cost, I’m willing to pay. Please, King, save my wife.”
Comments flooded in, praising Brendon’s devotion and admiring how he was willing to implore publicly just to secure King’s treatment.
Christina scrolled through the comment section, reading the chorus of pleas to King.
“Mr. Dawson is a true gentleman. His love for his wife is so evident. May the heavens hear him, and may King come to his wife’s rescue.”
“I’d lost faith in love, but seeing Mr. Dawson’s devotion has brought it back. King, please don’t turn your back. Help Mrs. Dawson.”
“Everyone, share this video and boost the livestream! King has to see it. Mrs. Dawson is on the brink. She needs saving. It’s so heart-wrenching to learn she is suffering from such discomfort.”
