Chapter 65 A Strangers Mercy Marilyn sobbed , Mr.
Elliot , Ms.
Bennett is dying , please come … Recalling his and Willows injuries , Elliots temper flared .
Havent been good enough to her ? What more does she want Threatening Dad with a knife , bashing Willow with an ashtray , shes out of control .
If I dont stop her , shell go too far Coldly , he replied , Her life or death means nothing to me , and hung up , resolute .
Marilyn stood helpless in the corridor .
She turned to Felix , pleading .
Sir , please help my Ms.
Bennett .
With over a decade in the Bennett household , she could tell this man held power .
A single word from him could save them .
She looked at him like a lifeline .
The doctor pressed , Shes critical , any delay could kill her .
Wheres the family ? Sign now ! Felixs brow creased slightly .
Glancing at the peony on his chest and thinking of National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance , he told the doctor , Ill sign .
The doctor sized him up , tall , poised , radiating innate authority .
In the sterile corridor , he shone like a beacon .
Your relation to the patient ? Felix hesitated , they were near strangers .
To hasten things , Marilyn blurted , Hes her fiancé She shot him a desperate , hopeful look .
He met her gaze briefly , then signed the consent form with a fluid stroke .
Once the doctor entered the operating room , Marilyn thanked Felix profusely , tears in her eyes .
Sir .
thank heaven for you ! Without you , Ms.
Bennett was done for ! Felix remained stoic , sitting on a bench with crossed legs .
The surgery stretched on , dawn breaking , yet the operating room doors stayed shut .
His phone rang , slicing through the tense silence .
He opened his eyes , unfazed by the sleepless night , still exuding elegance , and answered , Grandma .
Kates voice bubbled with joy .
You rascal , when did you snag a granddaughter in law without telling me ? Granddaughter in law ? He was baffled .
Assuming she was nudging him toward marriage again , he said , Grandma , anything else ? Cant I just call my grandson ? she asked .

Finished Fine , fine .
Dont scare her off with that frosty attitude .
Tell me where you are , Ill come see her myself .
I feed to meet her to rest easy , she said .
Grandma , if theres nothing else , Im hanging up .
Unwilling to dive into this now , he ended the call .
At the Brooker family estate in Balewood , the white haired Kate sighed at the dead line .
That boys icy streak , whod he get it from ? Rumors call him a playboy , but I wish he were , at least itd prove hes got some charm .
She thought to herself , nearing thirty , no girlfriend , no dates , I even wondered if he liked men .

Now theres hope .

Anna , listening to her ramble , smiled .
