Neil’s expression turned grim. “It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to worry about it.”
After a brief silence, Silvia replied in a low voice, “Fine.”
Neil did not want her to worry about him, so he changed the subject. “I don’t have to work overtime today. Why don’t we go out for dinner? Remember that family-style restaurant you wanted to try?”
“Maybe next time. I have something to do tonight.”
“Alright.”
After the call ended, Silvia gave Winston a call. “I need your help with something, Winston.”
Over in Ryoln City Grand Hotel, Mr. Grenning said excitedly, “Mr. Rios, we’ve gotten in touch with Moon, the brilliant doctor!”
Alan’s eyes lit up with joy. “Really?! Set up a meeting with him right away!”
“Yes, I’ll contact him.”
“No. Invite him personally!”
Mr. Grenning understood how important it was for Alan to meet Winston, so he hurried off.
Two hours later, he returned. He had arranged for Alan to meet Winston at a neighboring French restaurant at 10 a.m.
The next day came quickly, and Alan headed to the restaurant early to wait.
“Mr. Rios, you don’t need to be anxious. We still have over an hour before the agreed time.”
Alan frowned. “Why does it feel like time is crawling by? Are you sure you didn’t mess up the timing?”
Mr. Grenning smiled and said, “You’re just too eager.”
Alan sighed. “I have no choice. In the past few days, Chris has driven away all the women I’ve found for him. I considered drugging him, but I don’t think his body can take it. I hope he miraculously gets better and takes over Rios Corporation.”
Despite his frustration, Alan reminded himself that he needed Winston’s help, so he hid his annoyance.
“Dr. Russell, I heard that you’re Moon, the brilliant doctor. I’m here to ask for your help with my son’s surgery.”
Winston took a moment to respond, “I’m not sure how the rumor started, but I’m not Moon. However, I do know her.”
Alan frowned. How could Neil get the wrong person? No wonder the Remus Family could not make it to the list of Imperial City’s top families.
“Dr. Russell, can you help me get in touch with Dr. Moon? I’ve heard that she’s incredibly skilled and capable of saving someone even when it seems hopeless.”
Winston looked troubled. He sighed and said, “Mr. Rios, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but Moon has a strange personality. If she doesn’t want to meet someone, she simply won’t.”
“Dr. Russell, you haven’t even asked her. How can you be sure that Dr. Moon doesn’t want to see me? Perhaps you don’t want to help me?” Alan narrowed his eyes with displeasure.
To him, the Russell Family merely consisted of a bunch of doctors. Even though they had connections in Imperial City, there were still plenty of ways for him to get rid of them.
