Chapter 1797
Hearing that Damien was looking for a doctor, Miley felt a hint of gratitude.
She knew he would not abandon Chloe. "Is there really a doctor who can cure Chloe, given the condition she is in?"
Damien took a deep breath and said, "Of course there is. I've heard of a renowned doctor, James Dade, who has
cured patients with severe paralysis. Chloe has only just been paralyzed as of recent, so there might be hope. And
at this crucial moment, you’re stirring the pot for me!"
He had been swamped with work every single day, and not only could Miley not help, she had also added to the
chaos, driving him up the wall.
"How was I supposed to know you were looking for a doctor? But this famous doctor, I've heard he's elusive and not

What Miley said was true, for their dividends had dwindled significantly, and they had to consider Chloe's ongoing
treatment expenses on top of that.
"What do you know? James Dade has an apprentice who is said to reside in our country. As long as we get to find
her, there's hope. Stop messing around. At this critical moment, we can't afford to offend anyone.
Tomorrow, you'll withdraw from the lawsuit. Do you understand?" Damien said.
He knew the background of the Holder family, something which Miley was clueless about. If the Holder family
managed to dredge his dark secrets up, he might not be able to stand his ground in San Joto ever again.
"I..." Miley paused, not ready to give up.
Damien glared at her fiercely. "If you don't come to your senses, I'll cut ties with you. You don't know the true
nature of the Holder family. Don't create another mess for me to deal with."
Miley shrank back, suddenly understanding Damien's point: the Holder family was probably more complicated than
she had thought.
"I understand. I'll withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow."
She had no choice but to agree. Without the Rogers family to rely on, she would be finished if she angered him
enough to divorce her.
Only then did Damien breathe a sigh of relief.
Miley noticed Damien's mood improving and quickly made him a cup of tea. "Honey, can you really find the famous
doctor or his apprentice to get Chloe cured?"
Chloe was her only daughter, her pride and joy, and she could not bear to see her suffer.

"I've gotten some leads. I heard James Dade's apprentice used to live in Great Oak, but had moved to San Joto later
on. It'll take a few days to find out exactly where she is." Damien suppressed his anger, took a sip of tea, and felt a
little better.
"Great Oak?" Miley hesitated, feeling a sense of familiarity. "Why does this place sound so familiar?"
She thought it was unlikely she had ever been to such a small village, and that she must be overthinking it.
Damien did not give it much thought either and just said, "In the current situation, laying low is our biggest priority.
Besides, Everett has been hospitalized as well. He's our kid too, so keep an eye on him. Don't focus all your
attention on Chloe."
Miley was taken aback. "Everett's hospitalized? When did that happen?"
Damien could not help but be frustrated by Miley's lack of concern for Everett. She had been a star when she was
young and had focused all her attention on Chloe.
"Go ask Everett yourself. I've realized now that having a son is more important. We've been focusing on the wrong
person. From now on, treat Everett well. He's our hope for the future," he demanded.
