seriousness. Suzanne met Aaron’s gaze without flinching With unwavering confidence, she replied, “Yes.”
Chapter 90
Aaron’s deep gaze remained fixed on Suzanne’s resolute eyes for a long while before he finally spoke in a low voice. “Alright.”
Yasmine stared at Aaron in disbelief from the hospital bed, exclaiming, “Aaron, have you gone mad? She doesn’t know how to do anything, and you’re letting her treat me?”
The touched feeling Yasmine had felt earlier vanished completely, replaced by a surge of anger.

ne I trust is Austin.”
Tho Is Aaron felt a pang of sadness at Yasmine’s outburst, he remained calm and unmoved. “Yasmine, the o Austin, though typically indifferent, valued family above all else. He would never gamble with the life of the sister who had practically raised him.
With knitted brows, Felicia stepped forward, looking at Austin. “Son, what if we refuse today?”
Justin met her gaze head–on, unwavering “She will stay.
Those three words were a testament to his protection of Suzanne and his absolute trust in her
Felicia was visibly shaken. After a brief moment of contemplation, she relented, nocking to Austin. “Alright, I’ll agree to it.”
She turned to Suzanne, stepped forward, and held her hand. “I’ll leave her to you.”
Suzanne was the person her son had chosen. Felicia trusted Suzanne, but more importantly, she trusted her son.
Suzanne was slightly moved; she hadn’t expected both Austin and Felicia to place such faith in her a situation almost unimaginable under normal
circumstances.
Looking at Felicia, Suzanne assured her, “Mrs. Hall, I won’t let your decision be a mistake.”
This was a promise she intended to keep
Yasmine’s face was filled with disbelief. She couldn’t fathom why even her mother would approve of Suzanne. Intending to leave, she struggled to move, but aside from her hands, her body refused to cooperate.
She turned, “What are you all thinking? What if I die because of her?
If not for her upbringing and etiquette, she would have already outright screamed profanities at Suzanne.
After all, this was her life on the line.
Timothy clenched his fists tightly, his voice thunderous. “No! If you allow her to treat Yasmine today, I’ll break her-”
Before he could finish, the impatient Suzanne moved swiftly. In one fluid motion, she pulled out a silver needle and swiftly inserted it into Timothy’s body.
Timothy’s face froze mid–sentence. His raised hand fo
fell limp, and his entire body became immobilized. He couldn’t even finish his threat. “What’s happening?” Timothy exclaimed in panic, glaring at Suzanne. “I can’t move. What did you do to me?”
The others in the room were stunned, none of them expecting Suzanne to possess such skills.
Yasmine was livid. “Suzanne! What are you doing?”
Only Austin remained calm, standing silently in place, though a flicker of surprise crossed his mind.
He had heard of Jane Smith’s reputation before but had never seen her skills firsthand. Seeing it now, he could confirm her abilities were extraordinary. Felicia’s brow furrowed as she rushed to Timothy’s side, her voice carrying an edge of doubt. “Suzanne, what did you just do to him?”
After all, Timothy was no longer young, If something were to go wrong…
Felicia even started questioning her decision to support her son.
Suzanne turned to Felicia and said calmly, “Don’t worry. The needle only temporarily immobilizes him. It’s also actually beneficial for his cardiovascular
health”
She was aware that her actions might seem disrespectful, but under the circumstances, it was the only way to make Timothy stop.
Moreover, she had noticed Timothy had some health issues just now. He would have refused outright if she had directly offered to treat him.
Felicia glanced at Austin instinctively. When she saw him nod, she finally let out a sigh of relief, realizing that Suzanne might genuinely have some expertise
Meanwhile, Emma was wide–eyed with awe. Her small, chubby face lit up with amazement. “Wow! Is Aunt Suzanne a heroine from an action movie? That was just like what I saw on TV!”
Aunt? For a moment, Suzanne was caught off guard by that word.
Yasmine’s expression darkened instantly. “Sweetle, don’t call her that. She isn’t your aunt–in–law.”
