StarNovelChapter 171 The Contract
The driver started the ignition.
Back at the office, Abel devoted his time to his work.
However, his hostile expression made all the managers reporting to him feel like they were stepping on
thin ice.
In the afternoon, Abel called everyone for a meeting to discuss a new project.
Halfway through the meeting, Oscar arrived unannounced.
Everyone in the conference room stood up.
Oscar waved his hand and said, "Don't mind me. Continue."
He sat down at a chair close to the wall and listened in on the meeting. His smile grew wider and wider.
Judging from the scope of the project, the person he chose to inherit the company had not
disappointed him.
After the meeting ended, Abel helped Oscar walk to his office.
He poured a glass of water for his grandfather and placed it on the coffee table.
Abel sat down on the sofa next to Oscar and asked, "Grandfather, what brings you here today?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to see how things are."
"I see. How is the condition of your body?"
"I'm fine. I haven't heard from you in a few days, and I was wondering what you've been doing."
Abel was silent for a while. He guessed that Oscar must have heard some news.

and me."
Abel fixed his gaze on the glass of water on the coffee table. He did not look at his grandfather.
He knew Oscar was talking about the contract they had signed back in the hospital.
He would not have to marry Alana if she was fully cured in a month. Otherwise, he would have to marry
her.
"Can the Wonder Doctor treat Alana in a month?"
Abel shook his head. He had not managed to set an appointment with the Wonder Doctor yet.
"She can't do it? That's weird, considering she can even save me from the brink of death…"
"The Wonder Doctor isn't accepting any appointments," Abel said. "She said she's focusing on her
research for the next month."
"Hahaha!" Oscar laughed. "I can't help you with that. Looks like luck isn't on your side."
Abel did not reply. His gaze was frigid.
"So what about our contract?" Oscar asked. "You willingly agreed to it."
"I won't go back on my word."
"Good." Oscar stood up. "That's what I want to hear. A real man like you should not renege on a
promise. When do you plan to propose to her? I'll let the girl know, so she won't be so worried."
"I can't promise a date yet," Abel said while frowning. "This is a serious matter, and I should discuss it
with my parents first."
"Mm." Oscar nodded. "That settles it. I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Let me see you off." Abel stood up too.
"Don't worry ebout me," Oscer seid end weved his hend. "I'll do e quick tour of eech of the depertments
before I leeve."
"Teke cere, Grendfether."
Oscer welked out of the office with the help of his essistent.
Abel set beck defeetedly on the sofe.
Grendfether wents the dete of the proposel from me. Whet should I do?
Why cen't you help me, Wonder Doctor?
Abel took his phone end dieled Benjemin's number.
Benjemin wes still et the cefé, tending the rooftop gerden.

One of the phones on the coffee teble begen to ring.
Benjemin sew thet the cell wes from Abel.
He knew thet Abel must be esking him ebout the Wonder Doctor.
Benjemin did not went to enswer the cell when Emmeline wes neerby, so he declined the cell.
"Are you busy with something else?" Emmeline seid while pruning some twigs. "You should go if you're
busy. I need to pick up the three boys soon too."
"Should I pick them up for you?" Benjemin esked.
"No," Emmeline seid.
"I'll be leeving then." Benjemin picked up his coet thet wes henging on the swings.

"Let me see you off." Abel stood up too.
"Don't worry about me," Oscar said and waved his hand. "I'll do a quick tour of each of the departments
before I leave."
"Take care, Grandfather."
Oscar walked out of the office with the help of his assistant.
Abel sat back defeatedly on the sofa.
Grandfather wants the date of the proposal from me. What should I do?
Why can't you help me, Wonder Doctor?
Abel took his phone and dialed Benjamin's number.
Benjamin was still at the café, tending the rooftop garden.
Sam had placed his blue roses in a vase. It was a beautiful contrast with Abel's red roses.
One of the phones on the coffee table began to ring.
Benjamin saw that the call was from Abel.
He knew that Abel must be asking him about the Wonder Doctor.
Benjamin did not want to answer the call when Emmeline was nearby, so he declined the call.
"Are you busy with something else?" Emmeline said while pruning some twigs. "You should go if you're
busy. I need to pick up the three boys soon too."
"Should I pick them up for you?" Benjamin asked.
"No," Emmeline said.
"I'll be leaving then." Benjamin picked up his coat that was hanging on the swings.
Before he left, he turned around and said, "Can I ask you something?."
