Jeremy lowered his eyelids. “Is that so? That’s indeed a coincidence.”
“At that time, Sheryl served as a doctor without borders in Luminara. Maybe she treated some of your comrades.”
Doctor without borders?
Those casually spoken words struck a nerve with Jeremy.
He looked up at Sheryl sharply. In his mind, he saw the sparkling, luminous eyes of Burton Dove.Q
“Mr. Walsh? Mr. Walsh?” Sheryl tilted her head and asked with a smile, “What’s on your mind? Or is there something on my face?”
“No.” Jeremy abruptly returned to his senses, feeling somewhat melancholic.
Burton Dove had been his savior, and they had fought side by side to survive. Without her, how could he have returned to Solana City alive and become the president with overwhelming support?
How could he have fallen in love and be with Alyssa?
Jeremy would never forget Burton Dove’s kindness to him. He had never stopped searching for her whereabouts, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Justin mentioned that this woman had worked as a doctor without borders in Luminara.
As waves of emotions surged within Jeremy, his gaze toward Sheryl became complex.
“Mr. Walsh, if you’re interested in my story, perhaps in the future, or when you visit Mr. Justin again in Mosgravia, I can gradually tell you.” Sheryl smiled sweetly, and her tone was soft and alluring.
“You’ve misunderstood, Ms. Gillis. Your experience just reminded me of an old acquaintance. I didn’t mean anything else.” Jeremy withdrew his gaze icily and elegantly lifted the teacup.
Sheryl bit her lip.
“Alright, Sheryl, Jeremy has never been one for jokes,” Justin interjected, changing the topic. “Jeremy, you came all this way, and I know you didn’t just come to visit me.”
Jeremy’s throat tightened. “Justin, I…”
“Don’t worry. You can tell me everything. Even if you came to me for some purpose, I won’t blame you. Seeing you again makes me happier than anything else.”
Justin’s eyes twinkled with warmth as he spoke earnestly. “Are you facing any difficulties?”
“Justin, there’s someone very important to me who is sick. There’s a miracle drug for his symptoms here in Mosgravia, but no matter what I try, I can’t get my hands on it.
“So I thought, since you’ve been in Mosgravia all these years and have connections with the Jesseltons, you must have made some deep connections. Could you help me inquire.”
Jeremy took out his phone and placed the photo of the medicine in front of Justin. “How can I obtain this medicine?”
Justin smiled knowingly. “Is the important person you’re talking about Mr. Taylor?”
A lump formed in Jeremy’s throat.
Sheryl glanced at the screen. “This is medication for treating strokes. Does Mr. Taylor have a stroke?” Jeremy’s sharp gaze suddenly turned toward her face, like an icy blade cutting through.
Although Sheryl had gone on many important occasions with Justin, she couldn’t help but feel a chill from his cold gaze.
“Jeremy, don’t misunderstand Sheryl.”
Justin took a sip of his tea. “Even if you didn’t say it, I know you came for the Taylors. Now, only someone related to Ms. Alyssa could make you care so much and come all the way to me for help.
“Mr. Taylor has been secretly hospitalized more than once before. But as you know, every move of a top tycoon is closely watched. There are no secrets in this world. Sheryl was just making a reasonable analysis.”
“Since you already knew, I have nothing to hide.”
Jeremy put down his teacup. After a few moments of contemplation, he slowly began. “I am indeed here for Mr. Taylor’s illness. I want to bring the medicine back as soon as possible.
“My beloved is getting more and more haggard every day, worrying about her father. If I stand by and do nothing, what kind of man am I?”
Justin nodded thoughtfully. “I understand. Your feelings for Ms. Alyssa truly move me.”
Justin continued, “That medicine is indeed very rare. But over the years of treatment and medication, I’ve built some connections in the medical field. My friend has this medicine, and I can ask him to get it for you.”
“Really? That’s great!” Jeremy’s face lit up with joy. “How can I repay you for your help, Justin?”
Justin’s gaze was mysterious as he smiled. “Although I’m in Mosgravia, I’ve long heard about how much you cherish Ms. Alyssa. Someday, when I return to Solana City, would you oppose me becoming friends with her?”
Jeremy’s heart wrenched, and he clenched his grip on the teacup.
“Mr. Justin, you’re really putting Mr. Walsh in a difficult position. Ms. Alyssa is the apple of his eye. He would even build a house to hide her if he could. Even if you’re his brother, I doubt he’d be willing,” Sheryl half-jokingly said, but her words concealed a hidden meaning.
She implied that women were not the only thing Jeremy might not be willing to give up for Justin. It could also be power or status.
So what if Justin was Jeremy’s lifesaver? If one day Justin wanted to return to the Walsh Group, would Jeremy really give up his place for him?
“You can’t say that, Sheryl.”
Justin’s expression grew solemn. “Jeremy is my little brother. We have grown up together since childhood. I know him very well.”
“Justin, I think it’s fine if you want to be friends with Lyse.” Jeremy’s tone was calm, but his gaze was slightly cold. “But later on, when I marry Lyse, she’ll be your sister-in-law. Isn’t that better than just being friends?”
Justin was momentarily taken aback, then smiled. “You make a good point.”
“So the medicine…”
“You should return to Solana City first. I think Ms. Alyssa would miss you a lot while you’re away.”
Justin showed a hint of weariness, indicating he was ready to send Jeremy away. “I’ll get the medicine as soon as possible and have someone deliver it to you. You can rest assured.”
“Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Since Justin had already said things to this point, Jeremy couldn’t say much. He stood up and took his leave.
Once Jeremy left, Justin narrowed his eyes, opened a nearby box, and took out the medicine Jeremy had requested.
“Sheryl, you’ve been too talkative today.”
“Forgive me, Mr. Justin.” Sheryl quickly apologized, breaking out in a cold sweat.
“I understand that seeing an old acquaintance might make it hard to control your emotions. But what you need to do is leave a good impression on Jeremy. Your excessive display will only ruin your mystique and may even reveal flaws.”
Justin glanced at her pale face. “You should know how clever my brother is.”
“Please don’t misunderstand me, Mr. Justin. I no longer have any feelings for Jeremy like I did in the past. Seeing him now… I only feel hatred.”
Especially when he shamelessly expressed his love for Alyssa in front of her. That broke her heart even more.
“Hatred caused by unrequited love. I understand.”
“No! I never loved Jeremy… Never!”
Sheryl knelt in front of Justin, holding his hand tightly. “I approached him during my childhood because
I was young and ignorant. I was influenced and manipulated by Sophia.”
Sheryl continued, “After growing up, I only further tried to win Jeremy’s heart for the sake of my family’s interests. I’ve never had feelings for him. I’ve never loved him.”
Justin smirked, leaning down and lifting her chin with his fingertip. “Then, are you just using me too?”
With tears in her eyes, Sheryl swore, “I truly care for you, Mr. Justin. I’m loyal to you. I would even die for you!”
“Don’t say such gloomy things. Stand up and talk.” Justin’s tone softened as he helped her up.
But Sheryl still felt uneasy inside. She couldn’t read Justin’s emotions. Having worked for him for so long, she had never seen him angry. This only added to her unease.
“Did you have me fabricate a new identity to replace that lady and get close to Jeremy again?”
“Apart from occasionally being foolish in matters of the heart, Jeremy is the smartest person I know. How could you possibly replace her if you don’t even know the details of his relationship with that lady?”
Smelling the tea, Justin spoke leisurely. “Your new identity has already left a deep impression on him, sparking endless thoughts. But its effects will only be seen once we return to Solana City.”
Sheryl nodded, then asked in surprise, “Also, are you really going to give Jeremy the medicine? Are you truly going to save Winston?
