The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Xander hugged her tightly while lowering his head near her ear and whispered, "I heard from Simon that you came here, so I waited for you..."

Although they hadn't been apart long, Scarlett had much to tell Xander. She wanted to share her feelings after finding her mother and how her parents would be free from poison upon discovering that Nine was behind the poison that had endangered their lives.

Eager to speak with Xander, Scarlett noticed Nine's impatience. Reluctantly, she let go of her hug. 

"Xander, let's head upstairs first. Brother Nine needs to run some medical tests for Father," she said.

Xander agreed with her. He immediately led them to go straight up to the top floor, the VIP ward where Roland Gilwynn was receiving treatment.

As they held hands in the elevator, something crossed Xander's mind. He ask, "Babe, you said you didn't want your father to know you found your mother?"

Scarlett gazed up at him and nodded.

"Did you realize he'd know immediately if he saw you here?" Xander smiled, noticing her widened eyes. He chuckled and gently rubbed her back. "So, you hadn't thought about that?" 

Scarlett slowly shook her head while scolding herself inwardly. 

She forgot about this because she was too happy knowing Nine could cure her father. 

"Oh no! How could I forget!?" she silently sighed, looking at Nine. "Brother Nine, do you have a solution? I mean..." Her voice trailed off as she felt puzzled by this situation. 

"I don't. Your father already saw me and knows I'm part of your group searching for your mother, so he will know the moment I appear before him," Nine said, then shook his head.

Xander, who saw his wife looking puzzled, smiled before he said, "Babe, you can wait outside. I'll meet Father and talk to him," he suggested. Then, glancing at Nine. "You only need his blood tested, right!?"

"Yes, that's correct," Nine confirmed.

"You don't need to meet him. I'll ask Doctor Robert to have his people draw his blood," Xander asks, "Is that possible?"

Nine immediately nods, "That's a great idea, man," he said while praising this man inwardly. 

Scarlett smiled, looking at Xander. Her mind was so puzzled that she couldn't think straight for this simple solution. 

Gosh! 

She feels amused to realize that every time she faces her family problem, she will become like this.

When Scarlett and the others reached the top floor, they headed straight for Doctor Robert's office. Meanwhile, Doctor Robert had just completed a crucial surgery. He had no idea Scarlett was coming to the hospital to see him.

When he spotted her entering his office, he was startled. Knowing Scarlett was busy looking for her mother in Svalbard, but why is she here now!?

Robert stared in disbelief at Scarlett and Xander before rising from his chair.

"Scarlett, why did you suddenly show up here? Has something happened to you?" Robert asked, looking concerned. He walked toward them, but his attention paused as he noticed the tall man with glasses standing behind Scarlett. 

'This man!?' He tried to remember where he had seen him before but couldn't recall the exact place. However, the man felt somewhat familiar.

Setting aside his curiosity, Robert suggested they take seats in the seating area in the corner of his office. 

"What brings you here, Scarlett?" Robert asked once Scarlett had settled across from him.

Scarlett promptly explained her reason for coming. 

"Grandpa, I know you diagnosed my father with a complicated internal illness. Despite several surgeries, his health hasn't improved..." Scarlett paused when she noticed Grandpa Robert gesturing for her to stop speaking.

"How do you know that your father's condition hasn't improved? Did Simon tell you?" Robert asked, confused. Only a few people knew it. Roland had asked them not to inform Scarlett about the surgery results, fearing she might lose focus on finding her mother's whereabouts.

"No. Nobody told me," Scarlett replied with a smile. To her, knowing her father's medical report was an easy thing. She could easily ask Max to send her the results—lately, Max had been helpful with this task.

Robert was puzzled about whether to disclose Roland's condition to Scarlett.

"That's the reason you came here? Worried about his worsening condition?" Robert asked in a hushed tone.

Robert began feeling concerned as Roland remained the only patient he hadn't managed to cure despite multiple surgeries. He did numerous tests but found no other diseases in Roland's body, yet his health hadn't improved. 

This case puzzled Robert because it was the first time he'd encountered such an illness—unable to find its cause.

"No, Grandpa... I'm here to tell you that besides my father having several internal illnesses, as you found, he was also poisoned—"

"Impossible!" Robert interrupted Scarlett. "There's no way Roland was poisoned. I would have detected it. I've been his doctor for years and have never found any sign of poison in his body," he stated confidently, trusting his skill and the team that tested Roland's blood.

Scarlett could only smile internally; she had already anticipated Robert's response. She knew the potency of Nine's poison, undetectable by any doctor or sophisticated equipment. That's why many people feared Nine because he was capable of swiftly ending lives with his potent poison without detection.

"Grandpa, could you please have someone draw my father's blood? My friend..." Scarlett gestured towards Nine before continuing, "He will conduct a test on my father's blood, and he needs your laboratory."

Robert was startled by Scarlett's seriousness, realizing she wouldn't make baseless claims about Roland being poisoned. He glanced at the man, trying to find this man's identity in his memory.

Second, Robert suddenly remembered something before asking Scarlett about him. His eyes widened in shock as he recognized the man as Sawyer Scott, the brilliant doctor from Seattle. A genius in the field, Scott was like him, tackling diseases other doctors couldn't treat.

"A-Are you, Doctor Sawyer Scott?" Robert asked, wanting to confirm what he suspected.

Nine could only nod, confirming Robert's question.
