Its all on me… such a cruel twist of fate t Kingsley could see the conflict in Cedrics eyes.
Despite Simons betrayal, Cedric still had a deep affection for him.
After all, he had begged Kingsley to spare Simons life at the last moment.
Kingsley offered a comforting response.
Mr. Aicker, youve done more than enough
Simons downfall was his own doing he had every opportunity to change but chose to betray you.
H Cedric remained silent for a long moment before suddenly speaking up.
Tell me honestly, Dr. Baldwin… Have you and Fran become … intimate ? Kingsley froze for a second, caught off guard by the question Cedrics expression was a mixture of amusement and curiosity, his gaze as if he were examining a rare treasure
Kingsley had anticipated this and calmly replied, Youve misunderstood, Mr. Aicker.
Nothing inappropriate happened between Fran and me.
Cedric chuckled knowingly.
Come now, Dr. Baldwin
You’re both young and full of passion.
Fran was under the influence of Enthralling Essence, a drug that drives people to madness.
As I understand it, the only way to neutralize its effects is through sex.
He gave a reassuring smile and added, Even if something did happen between you two, I wouldnt blame you.
In emergencies, sometimes you have to prioritize saving a life I’m not ignorant of that.
Kingsley sighed inwardly, shaking his head.
Its true thats one method
But I assure you, I didnt touch Fran like that.
Cedric appeared confused.
Really? I must admit, I don’t know of any other way to counter Enthralling Essence.
How else could Fran have recovered? Its complicated, but I swear I didnt touch her in that way.
You can ask Fran yourself when shes fully recovered, Kingsley explained.
As for the method I used … I’m afraid can’t reveal it.
Cant reveal it ? Cedric muttered to himself, puzzled.
Kingsley remained silent, unwilling to elaborate further.
There was no way he could explain the unorthodox method he had resorted to without dying of embarrassment.
If Cedric knew the truth, Kingsley was certain his reputation would be ruined forever.
However, Cedric seemed eager to learn
Enthralling Essence is notoriously difficult to treat.
Im impressed that you found an alternative method.
Dr. Baldwin, would you be willing to share this technique with me? Kingsley straightened, his tone serious.
Im sorry, Mr. Aicker, but this method is … unique.
Its something I can’t teach to anyone else.
I hope you understand.
/ Cedric sighed in disappointment but nodded in acceptance.
I see.
You’re right.
Medicine is full of secret techniques and rare knowledge.
I respect your decision not to share it.
Kingsley felt a pang of guilt but knew there was no other way.
It was not that he did not want to teach Cedric- there was simply no practical reason to do so.
If he revealed the method, Cedric would likely lose all respect for him.
He could already picture it.
Cedrics admiration for him as a brilliant healer would crumble in an instant, reduced to disbelief and humiliation
Although I can’t teach the great healer the way I saved Fram, I do have a few medical prescriptions and techniques from the ancient art of medicine that a healer like you would probably appreciate, Kingsley said with a smile.
He figured offering something valuable to satisfy Cedrics appetite was better.
After all, Cedric had always wanted to become his apprentice, but Kingsley had always refused
Even though they could not be mentor apprentice, Kingsley did not mind teaching Cedric a few real skills, especially since he had a good opinion of the Aickers.
If thats the case, then thank you so much, Dr. Baldwin ! Cedric said excitedly when Kingsley handed over the items.
Cedric had already learned quite a few secret methods from Kingsley, and each one left him utterly captivated
With every lesson, his admiration for Kingsleys medical skills grew even more
After spending a little more time at the Aicker residence, Kingsley returned to the Moonlit Sanctuary.
It had been quite a day he had opened a new medical center, Aspen had caused a scene with Gordon there, and it had ended in disaster.
In a rush, Kingsley had gone to the Aicker residence to chase off Simon and save everyone.
The hardest part had been rescuing Francesca; even with his stamina far beyond the average person, it was exhausting
He had to fight off Francescas clinginess while suppressing his own rising desires, a struggle any man would find difficult.
[ Dr. Baldwin, are you asleep? ] Lauren texted just as Kingsley was about to lie down, including a cute emoji.
Kingsley smiled and replied, [Almost ready to sleep, what about you?] Lauren responded, [ I’m already naked, all cleaned up and in bed.
Want to see ? ] Kingsleys face turned dark with frustration
That mischievous little troublemaker had been begging him for mercy earlier, and now she was trying to tease him
He had the urge to hop in his car, head over to the Rhodes residence, and teach her a lesson.
Nonetheless, he did not act on it, knowing Tianas stern demeanor, and figured the Rhodes family had everything locked up tight no chance of getting in.
[Sorry, I’m not interested.
I prefer to take charge and go straight to the point, ] Kingsley replied, maintaining control of the situation. Sure enough, Lauren sent back three angry fist emojis, clearly upset.
[ Dr. Baldwin, I never realized how naughty you really are] she typed
Kingsley thought for a moment but decided not to tell Laurem about Francesca.
He felt it would be disrespectful to Francesca.
He would wait until she was fully recovered and tell her the story himself.
[ Good night, Lauren, ] Kingsley replied, feeling exhausted after such a long day and ready to rest.
Before turning off the lights, Lauren sent one last message.
[ Good night, Dr. Baldwin
Sleep well, and you better dream about me.
Love you !] She added a selfie with a few playful, mischievous emojis.
Kingsley glanced at it and felt his blood rushing
It was a seductive picture of Lauren in lace lingerie her creamy white skin tightly held in the bra, her long legs, and perky backside on full display
It was a reminder of Lauren being Jayrodales irresistible beauty.
Shes definitely doing this on purpose! he muttered under his breath.
Though the lights were out, Kingsley tossed and turned all night, unable to get comfortable.
His thoughts constantly drifted back to Lauren and that tempting image
The next day at the Snees residence in Jayrodale, Aspen had returned from the hospital, looking much better, though her face was still a bit swollen
Aspen, how are you feeling? If you’re not feeling well, you should rest a bit longer, Hannah said with concern
Aspens condition made Hannah uneasy, and she could not help but worry.
Aspen lay in bed, her eyes glistening with tears, her gaze blank as she said nothing. Meanwhile, Irene and Leroy stood outside the room, peeking in
Irene asked, Leroy, do you think Aspens brain was messed up from the hits? She hasnt said a word since she woke up.
Mom, you’re overthinking.
Aspen just got a few slaps, probably just a concussion.
Nothing too serious.
The mother and son did not notice their raised voices as they continued to discuss.
