Barrett wandered around outside, trying to borrow money from his acquaintances. However, all he managed to secure was a thousand silver coins. It was far from the over ten thousand silver coins needed for the betrothal gifts and wedding party.

The truth was, he could easily borrow twenty or thirty thousand from prestigious families, since he had just returned victorious. After all, he was now a rising star at court, and everyone was eager to curry favor with him.

But he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Borrowing money was an awkward and sensitive thing to do. As much as possible, he wanted to preserve his dignity.

Hearing Carissa was causing trouble again, Barrett sighed irritably. “What has she done now?”

“She told Sebastian not to treat Mom anymore, Bryan explained.

“There are many physicians in the capital. If Sebastian won’t come, we’ll find another physician. If that fails, I’ll ask for the royal physicians‘ help,” Barrett replied, thinking it wasn’t a big deal.
