Chapter 7: Breaking off the Engagement with the Lopez Family Immediately

Zenobia put away the silver needle, then turned back to look at him and smiled slightly: "Second Master, you are joking. My silver needles will only be used to save people."

Ferdinand lowered his head and glanced at her hand with an ambiguous look.

Her fingers were slender and beautiful, and looked delicate in the light from the blinds.

The back of my hand, where he had pinched it, turned slightly red.

There is some inexplicable feeling of being delicate.

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ferdinand seemed alright, but frowned again when she saw Zenobia's calm look.

She actually used only a few silver needles to wake Ferdinand up.

You should know that each pain can last from one hour to three hours, or even longer.

At this time, the butler Asa came over with two bodyguards. Seeing Ferdinand who was already awake, they were full of disbelief and had already forgotten their purpose.

It was as if he saw a savior: "Miss Lopez, can you cure our young master?"

"Asa." Ferdinand frowned slightly and interrupted him.

The housekeeper Asa had no choice but to keep quiet.

Ferdinand looked up at Zenobia and ordered, "Take Miss Lopez to the guest room to rest."

"yes."

Zenobia had no idea what he meant by this, but she followed the housekeeper Asa out of the room.

Now that you are here, make yourself comfortable.

Inside the house, Ferdinand noticed that Vanessa was still there. He frowned, and his gentle voice revealed a bit of impatience: "Why are you still here?"

"Ah, Ferdinand, I came to tell you that grandma collapsed in the street and is now in the hospital."

Hearing this, Ferdinand's expression changed slightly: "You go to the hospital first, I will come later."

"good."

After Vanessa left, Ferdinand opened the closet, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Second Young Master."

"Any news about that woman from five years ago?"

Nicholas Maugham sighed and said, "Not yet. The ring you gave her has never appeared on the black market. It may be difficult to find her."

Sparks ignited in Ferdinand's usually calm pupils, like a blaze on the vast grassland, slowly extinguishing until it dissipated.

His voice was cold: "Keep checking!"

"yes."

"Come pick me up and take me to the hospital."

"good."

Hospital.

Old Mrs. Clemens was leaning against the bed, excitedly telling Vanessa the whole process of her rescue: "Vanessa, you must help me find that girl. I want to thank her very much. If it weren't for her, I would have died on the street."

Vanessa patted her back gently and comforted her gently: "Grandma, don't get excited. Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will find a way to find her and thank her in person."

As they were talking, Ferdinand and Nicholas arrived.

Old Mrs. Clemens saw her grandson and waved to him seriously: "Ferdinand, you've come just in time. I have something to tell you."

Vanessa made way and sat down on a small stool nearby.

Ferdinand strode to her bedside and saw that she had an IV in her hand, her face was haggard, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and there was worry in his reproachful voice: "Grandma, it's so hot outside, why did you go out on the street alone?"

Old Mrs. Clemens glared at her grandson and said, "It's all about your marriage. I heard you're going to marry the third daughter of the Lopez Family. Marriage is a big deal, so of course I have to find a fortune teller to do a fortune telling!"

Ferdinand frowned and glanced at Vanessa vaguely, a chill emanating from his bones and his displeasure was evident in his words.

Vanessa felt his gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly: "Ferdinand, I'm sorry, I spoke too much."

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Clemens frowned and spoke up to help: "Why are you being so mean to her? Even if Vanessa didn't say it, I would know about the substitutionary marriage sooner or later. The Lopez Family did this to show that they don't take the Clemens Family seriously at all. Don't say it's not a substitutionary marriage. Even if the two daughters are willing to pay for it, you are not allowed to accept it. Break off the engagement immediately!"

Ferdinand's eyes deepened slightly, and he heard the deep meaning in the old lady's words. He tugged at his tie and said lightly: "Grandma, just say it if you have something to say."

"The master I found calculated that she and you are not compatible. She is destined to be a jinx. You can't stand up to the third daughter of the Lopez Family."

Old Mrs. Clemens paused, as if thinking of something. She took Ferdinand's hand and said calmly, "For the sake of our Clemens Family having children and grandchildren, you must listen to me and cancel the marriage immediately. Grandma has found a good girl for you. This time, thanks to her, you can save your life. As the ancients said, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body. As the saying goes, a grandmother's debt must be repaid by her grandchildren. If you two don't get married, there will be no end to it!"

Vanessa pursed her lips tightly, and it was not difficult to guess that the good girl her grandmother was talking about was the woman who saved her.

Ferdinand raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not confront Old Mrs. Clemens. He said slowly, "That's right, I have the same idea."
