Chapter 1087

Ludwik leaned in, a hint of worry in his eyes. "You should leave the treatment plan here as well. I'll have Shane bring in the best acupuncturist to treat our daughter."

Whitney shook her head, her voice firm. "She's so little. I can't trust just anyone with her. Let's not do anything right now. We'll wait until I get back."

Even though her mind was racing, she had already made up her mind. "After the specialists have checked on the baby, I'm heading to Delight Mansion to pick up my uncle. We'll drive back to Banyan City together."

Ludwik felt a swell of pride. Whitney always knew how to handle things with such grace under pressure, her decisions as steady as the beat of a drum, always in sync with his own.

Whitney nodded, her expression thoughtful, eyes meeting his with a shared understanding.

Ludwik paused for a moment, then asked, "When you get to Delight Mansion, are you going to tell your uncle everything?"
