Chapter 467 A Wrong Decision

"Who said my Jessica must marry Smart? The Evans might be the second-ranked family amongThe Eight, but I didn't really like what I saw with Smart," Avery declared, still disconcerted by theprevious events where Daniel ended up overpowering Smart. If Smart couldn't even handle acountry boy, then he certainly wasn't fit to marry her daughter. He just wasn't worthy.

Pork was taken aback by Avery's words. He looked at her incredulously and asked, "Cousin, areyou seriously considering marrying Jessica off to this country boy? Jessica is the granddaughter ofThe Matthews. Marrying her to a country boy would be a disgrace to the entire Matthews family! Asthe eldest grandson of The Matthews, I absolutely refuse to accept this!"

Avery's face turned stern at Pork's response, and she demanded, "Pork, are you trying to teach mea lesson here?"

"Of course not! I wouldn't dare. I'm just kindly reminding you, cousin. Jessica is your only preciousdaughter; please don't make a wrong decision."

"What do you mean by a wrong decision? It's my daughter; she'll marry whoever I want her tomarry!"

Daniel caught onto the conversation and immediately interjected with enthusiasm, "Mom, so youagree to give me Jessica in marriage? You'll bless our union, won't you? And you'll even provide agenerous dowry! Oh dear mom, I love you!"

"Get lost! If I married Jessica off to a dog, it wouldn't be to you, you rascal! You even think you havea chance at marrying my daughter?"

At that moment, the door to the operating room opened, and a man with gold-rimmed glasses,followed by a group of doctors, walked out. His name was Bright Kim, the youngest chief of 108Hospital and the most prized disciple of USA's top doctor, Joshua.

As Bright emerged, Avery rushed forward anxiously, "Doctor, how is my grandfather?"

"The patient is very old and has a long-standing injury from his younger days on the battlefield,complicating his condition. This sudden illness is due to excessive consumption of his physicalstrength, and it's difficult to turn around. We've done our best, but there's nothing more we can do.Grandfather only has a day or two left; you should spend more time with him."

"Bright, please think of something else," urged Pork in desperation.

"Mister Zhao, I've tried all possible treatments. Given his age and poor health, surgery isn't anoption—we can only resort to conservative treatment."

As they spoke, there was a commotion at the far end of the corridor. A figure in a Givenchy customsuit, unmistakably sharp and stylish, approached with several doctors in tow. This man was DownPerkins, the eldest son of New York's leading family, The Perkins.

Upon spotting Down, Avery greeted him with warm enthusiasm, "Down, what brings you here?"

"Avery, I heard about your grandfather's illness and immediately arranged for Professor John to beflown in from overseas."
