Chapter 204
The Bailey family was second to the Lloyds among the ten great families of Dragotha
Esme, treated by the Baileys as a princess, was beautiful and intelligent, which earned her the nickname of the finest lady.
Despite her extraordinary qualities, she only had one suitor so far–Travis Lloyd. Anyone else who was interested in her dared not pursue her as Travis would give them a stern warning.
In other words, Travis had discreetly laid claims on Esme, Hence, no other men dared claim his woman. Because of that, Esme became a 22–year–old with no dating experience. She had never held the hand of someone from the opposite sex, except for her family.
Esme had her first physical contact with a male when she took Sebastian’s hand in a panie, which she wouldn’t have done if she were calm. By doing so, she had placed Sebastian in danger.
Travis left the hotel in a hurry for Divinopolis. Angered, he got in touch with the prodigal healer of Dragotha, Ezekiel Monas. Ezekiel had won the title for his miraculous skills. There was no illness that he couldn’t cure
In fact, Travis had gotten in touch with Ezekiel long before this, but he did not request Ezekiel to treat Esme’s father, Bob Bailey.
Bob, who doted on her daughter, did not force her to marry Travis after learning she was against the marriage. Travis resented Bob for that reason. Not only did he refuse to let Ezekiel treat Bob, but he also made it difficult for the Baileys to get in touch with Ezekiel.
However, Travis had no time to lose. He decided to play rough by bringing Ezekiel to the Bailey residence and forcing Esme to marry.
As Travis had traveled to Ravenview via helicopter, he arrived at Divinopolis before Esme.
On the same afternoon, Esme brought Sebastian to the Bailey residence. Perhaps a nod to their family legacy, the Bailey residence was decorated in a classical style. The walls and floors were white, with a pop of color here and there.
On their way to the Bailey residence, Esme received a call from her mom, notifying her that Bob was dying, When she arrived home, she grabbed Sebastian’s hand and hurried into the house.
They showed up in Bob’s bedroom hand–in–hand, much to the surprise of Esme’s mom, Marie Marshall, and her brother, Rowan Bailey.
Marie asked with doubt, “Esme, is he that Dr. Wilder who they claim can save your dad’s life?”
“That’s right. This is Dr. Wilder.” Turning to Sebastian, Esme said, “Dr. Wilder, my dad is in bed. Please take a look at him.”
The man in bed had a pallid complexion, and his breathing was shallow. He looked as if he might draw his last breath at any time.
Rowan stopped Sebastian from getting any closer to Bob. “Stop!”
“Rowan, what are you doing?” Esme asked him worriedly.
“I should be the one asking the question. What are you doing, Esme? This guy is too young to be a master healer. You’re being ridiculous,” Rowan chided
his sister.
