Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Something Science Couldn't Explain

Everyone in the room had sharp enough instincts to catch what Paige had just let

slip. But given the situation, no one asked her to elaborate.

Mabel still looked pale, but there was a liveliness in her eyes. Her energy had

clearly returned. Just as Jaxon said- "Madam Ashbourne is doing just fine."

Out in the hallway, just around the corner from the room, Jaxon pulled off his

mask. There was a mix of guilt and astonishment in his voice.

"Mr. Harlow," he said, "you were right. We ran the same set of tests on Madam

Ashbourne again, and I can now say with full confidence that my diagnosis was

wrong."

Alistair's smile was calm and sincere. "Well, that's a mistake we're happy to have.

If only more of them turned out this way."

Jaxon gave a sheepish wave. "Let's not jinx it. We're lucky Madam Ashbourne

stayed calm, and that the family didn't lose their heads. If things had gone the

other way..."

"Don't second-guess yourself," Alistair interrupted gently. "Maybe it wasn't about

your judgment at all. Maybe it was something else. A miracle, perhaps."

The System, after all, was nothing if not miraculous.

Jaxon let out a long breath and gave a small laugh. "Maybe. If more miracles like

this existed, the world would carry a lot less regret."

They shared a brief smile.

Alistair nodded and walked off toward the patient room. As he turned the corner,

The spotted Gordon standing there, arms crossed, posture unreadable. There was

no telling how long he'd been there, or how much he had heard.

Alistair's heart skipped, but he quickly steadied himself, nodding politely as he

passed.

Gordon didn't move. A few seconds later, he said, "Hold on."

Alistair paused, inwardly sighing. He turned with the composed half-smile of

someone used to power plays.

"Something on your mind, Mr. Gordon Ashbourne?"

Gordon's tone was direct. "The reason you didn't want my

mother leaving New York-was it because you already knew she was sick and

wanted to help?"
