Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 2036 On The Verge Of Ruination

If Wilbur is only temporarily not all there, could he be cured with a shock, surprise, or some other method?

Nicole gave voice to that query, upon which the two doctors concluded that her suggestion might possibly work since they naturally couldn’t treat Wilbur with drugs when the latter was perfectly fine physically. “All right, it’s decided then. I’ll speak to Mr. Simpson about Wilbur’s condition later.” “Sure!”

“Sure, Ms. Lane.” After the discussion, all three of them returned to the living room. Rodney immediately asked about Wilbur’s condition and whether he would recover.

Beside him, Mabel echoed, “Exactly! Is there any hope of recovery for Wil? W-What’s the cause of his condition?”

Suddenly, Nicole remembered her suspicion earlier. Wilbur’s incident might have had something to do with her and Nicholas. Therefore, this is the best opportunity to protect him as he receives treatment by having him keep his distance away from them.

“Mr. Simpson, we’ve already discussed the matter and reached a consensus on treating him. You can hand him over to us with peace of mind.”

“What method are you all planning to use? Do you need to put him on an IV drip, keep him in the hospital, or prescribe him medication? Or-” Rodney glanced at Wilbur, worried that the latter wouldn’t cooperate docilely.

Sure enough, Wilbur, who had been looking at his fingers with his head lowered, abruptly jerked his head up and glowered at them. “I don’t want to go to the hospital! I don’t want to have an IV drip! I’m not sick! I’m not sick!” he objected irritably.

“Yes, you’re not sick. Instead, you’re very healthy. We’ve already checked you over, and you’re perfectly fine!”

Nicole threw a look at Rodney. “I’d like to have a word with you, Mr. Simpson.”

He followed her out of the living room, after which Nicole remarked, “Mr. Simpson, we’re going to use the most suitable method to treat Wilbur. This is a medical issue you won’t understand, so I’ll save the explanation. All you need to do is to believe I share your sentiments, hoping that he’ll recover as soon as possible. Then, my daughter will also be over the moon.”

Rodney thought for a moment, alternating his gaze between Maya and Wilbur. In the end, he sighed. “I understand. In that case, I’ll entrust him to you, Mrs. Seet. When he recovers, he can get engaged with Maya.”

“Okay. Then, I’ll take him to Imperial Garden.”

“Sure. But I’m not sure whether he’ll be willing to go with you.”

“We’ll just try it.”

Walking back to the living room, Nicole looked at Wilbur and queried, “I’ll bring you someplace nice, okay?”

Wilbur contemplated for a while before he shook his head.

“Then, where would you like to go? I’ll take you there, okay?”

Wilbur again deliberated for a moment, but still, he shook his head.

“Wil, go with Mrs. Seet. She’ll take you someplace fun. There are many interesting things there and many animals you’ve never seen before. Why don’t you go and have a look with her?”

In response, Wilbur shook his head and pouted. “I want to stay at home. I don’t want to go anywhere!” After saying that, he stormed upstairs in a fit.

“Uh…” Wearing a conflicted expression on his face, Rodney suggested, “How about this, Ms. Lane? I’ll have someone tie him up and send him over to your place.”

“Tie him up? No way! He’ll be sad,” Maya objected.

“Maya, I know you want the best for him, but as you can see, he doesn’t want to go with your mom. At present, tying him up and sending him over is the best method.”

“Let me try it, Mr. Simpson. Perhaps I can persuade him otherwise.”

Rodney was silent for a while before he relented, “Okay.”

Maya cast a glance at Nicole and went upstairs to look for Wilbur.

Right that moment, Wilbur was fretting in his bedroom, feeling as though his plan was on the verge of ruination.

What should I do? Should I tell Maya I’m actually faking it?

As Mabel watched Maya head to Wilbur’s bedroom, she asked Nicholas in a whisper, “Nic, do you think Mrs. Seet can cure Wilbur?”
