My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2386

The Florentines' ability was not truly a form of healing in the conventional sense. Their power involved transferring the patient's pain onto themselves, which was the result of combining the three Florentine siblings' abilities into one.

Ronan had used this power to absorb the demonic energy from Nora into his own body.

In other words, Ronan had been enduring the torment of demonic energy for days.

Perhaps due to his sense of duty as a medical professional, or maybe out of gratitude to his brother-in-law, Clint, he never revealed his power to anyone and chose to bear the burden alone.

However, the prerequisite for the Florentines' ability was possessing a strong physical constitution. This aspect of the power had not initially been in their control, so Ronan had not been focused on strengthening his own body.

As a result, his current physical condition was poor, and he was at high risk of being overwhelmed by the demonic energy's effects. Even if he could endure it, it would be an extremely arduous process.

Ronan realized that he was nearing his limit, but he had no choice but to bear it alone.

...

At 10:00 am, Clint finally woke up in his office. Since he had slept in his chair, he felt a bit stiff and sore when he woke up. He checked his phone to see the time.

"It's already 10:00 am?"

At that moment, there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

Rainie walked in with a tray of steaming hot food. Clint quickly stood up and headed to the door.

"Thanks, darling! Come, sit here..." he began, but he suddenly felt a numbness in his legs. Rainie saw Clint standing still and thought something was wrong with him, so she rushed over to support him.

"Darling, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, just..."

"Sorry about that, darling. It's just something minor. Thanks for bringing me the food."

"Open it up. It's all your favorites."

Clint eagerly opened the lunchbox, finding each compartment filled with beautifully presented dishes. Alongside some steak bites, there were also many dishes that Rainie had personally made.

Clint felt a wave of warmth in his heart as he looked at the meal.

Rainie said excitedly, "Come on, give it a try!"

Clint could not help but express his gratitude.

"With a wonderful wife like you, I have no regrets in life."

"Oh, stop being so cheesy!" Rainie laughed.
