“If you want to enter the Quentin family, you need to get the consent of the Quentin family’s people. If you really love Chandler as you claim, then find a way to enter the Quentin family yourself and stop him,” the old Mr. Hunter said.
Tina frowned and asked, “What if the Quentin family’s people don’t want me to enter?”
“The Quentin family’s people like to trade things and lives. If you have something that interests them, they will naturally let you in,” the old Mr. Hunter said.
“What interests the Quentin family’s people?” Tina asked again.
“That’s something you’ll have to figure out for yourself,” the old Mr. Hunter said.
Tina understood that the old Mr. Hunter couldn’t provide any further help. The way he spoke was actually a test for her, most likely to see if her love for Chandler was genuine.
“I understand. Then I’ll go back first!” Tina said, turning to leave.
Adele watched Tina’s departing figure with unease and looked at the old Mr. Hunter. “Dad, why don’t you just give Tina something that interests the Quentin family so she can enter and persuade Chandler to change his mind?”
After all, no one knows what consequences will arise from luring out the gu worms.
If her son ends up disabled because of this, then she…
Thinking of this, Adele felt an overwhelming heaviness in her heart.
“If she can’t even enter the Quentin family, it means that her feelings for Chandler are not as strong as she claims. Even if I let her in, there still won’t be a result between her and Chandler,” the old Mr.
Hunter said in a deep voice.
Adele and Colin looked at each other upon hearing this.
As the daughter-in-law, Adele naturally understood the old Mr. Hunter’s character and knew that when he said something like this, it was already a decision that wouldn’t change.
She understood that the reason the old Mr. Hunter gave Tina this test was because he was afraid that if
Tina’s love for Chandler wasn’t firm enough, it might cause Chandler further harm.
But in comparison to the danger of Chandler luring out the gu worms, Adele naturally hoped that Tina could have a second child with her son to relieve his suffering.
At this moment, all she wished for was that Tina’s love for her son was truly as Tina claimed.
After returning from the Hunter family, Tina did not go directly back to the Stephenson family. Instead, she came to the Hart family and went straight to find Harley.
“Can you help me make an appointment with Lornell? I have something to discuss with him,” Tina said.
“What do you want to discuss with Lornell?” Harley asked, puzzled.
Tina didn’t hide anything on this matter. “Chandler went to the Quentin family, but outsiders can’t enter the Quentin family. If I want to enter the Quentin family, I have to find someone from the Quentin family and ask.”
Harley was taken aback. “Chandler went to the Quentin family? What is he doing there?”
Tina remained silent.
Having grown up in the Hart family, Harley understood that it wasn’t something to be taken lightly that
Chandler was entering the Quentin family.
“Okay, I’ll contact Lornell,” Harley said immediately.
Tina was taken aback by his prompt response. “Don’t you mind that I didn’t tell you the reason?”
“Since the reason is inconvenient to disclose, it’s fine that you didn’t tell me. If you want to enter the
Quentin family, I’ll help you,” Harley smiled.
“You…” Tina’s face showed shock.
Harley said, “Tina, don’t be surprised. Actually, we had a good relationship before you lost your memory. You just forgot some things. It’s normal for me to help you.”
“Thank you,” Tina sincerely thanked him.
“I also hope that you and Chandler can reconcile. Although I’m not sure what happened, I can sense that you want to go to the Quentin family to be with Chandler, right?” Harley said.
Tina looked at him in surprise. He had already guessed it.
“Yes!” Tina said while asking Harley, “What about you? Have you entered the Quentin family?”
Harley shook his head. “No, the Quentin family is not something you can just enter. Lornell and I are only engaged, not married yet, so I don’t have the qualification to enter the Quentin family.”
Tina was a little surprised. “I didn’t expect the Quentin family to be stricter than the Hunter family. I thought you could enter since you’re already Lornell’s fiancé.”
After all, when she was Chandler’s fiancée, she had already been to the Hunter family!
But because of her memory loss, this was what she learned from her parents.
Harley’s expression darkened. Yes, even though she was Lornell’s fiancée, she still couldn’t enter the
Quentin family.
In the Quentin family, no one would look highly upon her as the fiancée. Everyone knew that she had a marriage contract with Lornell only because he was kind and wanted to save her life!
Tina realized that she shouldn’t have said that. She hastily said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say those things, I…”
“It’s okay!” Harley smiled lightly. “Let me contact Lornell!”
Harley contacted Lornell. “Lornell, is Chandler currently in the Quentin family? Tina wants to go find
Chandler.”
“Do you still not know the rules of the Quentin family? It’s not something anyone can enter,” Lornell’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Harley shrank back. “I know, so Tina wants to meet you first. Can you meet her?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Lornell said, “Alright, tomorrow then. I’ll send you the address later.”
“Okay.” Harley breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that he would refuse.
After all, he wasn’t someone who enjoyed socializing, and his relationship with Tina used to be average. His relationship with Chandler was a good one.
After Chandler and Tina separated, Lornell’s attitude towards Tina naturally became average as well.
Harley said to Tina, “Tina and Lornell agreed to meet tomorrow. I’ll go with you then.”
“Thank you!” Tina said.
The next day, Harley took Tina to the meeting place agreed upon with Lornell.
It was a high-end club, and Lornell was already waiting for Tina in a private room.
“This club belongs to the Quentin family, so what we say here shouldn’t be heard outside,” Lornell looked at Tina and said, “Of course, today I’m meeting you because of Chandler!”
“I want to go to the Quentin family to find Chandler,” Tina said directly.
“Only those who have something that the Quentin family wants can enter the Quentin family. Do you have something that would interest them?” Lornell looked at Tina.
Tina said, “The Stephenson family’s assets. If there’s anything that interests the Quentin family, I can bring it up.”
She had already discussed this with her parents before meeting Lornell.
Her father had said, “If all the Quentin family wants is money, then the Stephenson family can provide it. It doesn’t matter how much. But if they want something else, then it’s difficult. We may not be able to obtain what the Quentin family likes in a short period.”
With the phrase “it doesn’t matter how much,” Tina understood that her father was willing to sacrifice for her. The Stephenson family’s assets were built by her father’s hard work.
Now, he was willing to give them away without counting the cost, all for her sake!
However, Tina’s words didn’t seem to elicit any reaction from Lornell.
“The Quentin family never wants money. If they wanted money, they could easily obtain it,” Lornell said.
Tina fell silent. Indeed, the Quentin family had excellent medical skills.
No matter how wealthy someone was, they would still be tormented by illness and would seek help from the Quentin family. The Quentin family naturally didn’t lack money.
“Lornell, can’t you make an exception?” Harley couldn’t help but plead.
Lornell raised his eyes and looked at Harley with a smile that wasn’t really a smile. “You want me to make an exception?”
Harley was taken aback. At this moment, his expression seemed as if he thought she had just said a joke as if he was asking her why he should make an exception.
Harley’s eyes dimmed. Yeah, why should she? Did she really think that her plea would have any effect?
She wasn’t someone he liked to begin with, so naturally, she didn’t hold much significance in his heart.
At that moment, Tina spoke up, “Harley, could you please step aside for a moment? I would like to have a private conversation with Mr. Quentin.”
“Alright,” Harley responded, then left the private room.
Lornell looked at Tina and said, “Tina, what do you want to talk to me about? Let me make it clear, I cannot break the rules of the Quentin family. Besides, we don’t really have any relationship between us, do we?”
Tina looked at the indifferent face of Lornell. She had heard her father comment about the Quentin family before, saying that they were all cold-hearted.
Perhaps it was because the Quentin family members were already accustomed to life and death, and they were all absorbed in improving their medical skills, which made them even more ruthless than ordinary people.
For the Quentin family, studying medicine has never been about helping others, but merely about pursuing the pinnacle of medical knowledge.
When it comes to saving lives, the Quentin family doesn’t save just anyone; they only choose to save those they want to save.
Even if a patient is pitiful and begs desperately, the Quentin family won’t be moved an inch if they don’t want to save them.
That’s why it was so rare for Lornell to take the initiative to save Harley’s life at such a young age, especially for someone from the Quentin family.
It made Tina think that maybe Lornell wasn’t as heartless as the Quentin family members.
Taking a deep breath, Tina said, “You know about the Chandler curse, right?”
“Yes,” Lornell replied calmly.
“So, do you know how to break the curse of the insect?” Tina asked again.
“What?” Lornell was taken aback.
Seeing his expression, she knew that he probably didn’t know.
“The parasites in Chandler’s body will find people they are attracted to. Of course, that person is not specific and may not even be encountered in a lifetime. But if they do meet, the parasites in Chandler’s body will react, and at that time, it will be known who that person is,” Tina explained. “Back then, when my mother was pregnant with me, Chandler met my mother and sensed that she was the person who could cure the parasites. So when my mother had a difficult childbirth, the Hunter family intervened and arranged for me to be engaged to Chandler.”
