Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Moreover, Danny had hesitated noticeably when the topic was brought up, indicating that there must be something going on.

Valerie was even more determined to find out. If her guess was correct, she could get Danny to agree.

Matthew didn’t know what Valerie was up to but saw her urgency and quickly stopped her. “Slow down, don’t rush!”

Valerie was steadied by him and was about to knock on the door when she realized it wasn’t locked. Pushing it open, she was overjoyed.

Valerie quickly pulled Matthew inside.

“The smell was so familiar, Valerie thought.

As soon as Valerie entered, she noticed the scent of medicine. She looked around. The small building was very clean, with minimal furnishings.

The first floor had a bookshelf and a table, with the surrounding furniture resembling that of a church, almost unchanged.

However, after a quick inspection, Valerie noticed something peculiar, a small doll in the corner under the window, covered in dust, as if it had been left there for some time.

Nearby, there was a photo on the bookshelf of Danny with a young girl. Valerie picked it up and saw that the girl bore a strong resemblance to Danny, likely his daughter.

Given the medicinal smell in the room, it became clear to Valerie that Danny’s daughter must be ill. Just then, a furious voice came from behind. “What are you doing here? Who let you in? How rude you are! Get out now!”

Valerie turned to face Danny’s angry expression, took a deep breath, and said, “Mr. Morse, how long has your daughter been sick?”

Danny was momentarily taken aback. “How do you know? Who

Matthew was also surprised and thought, ‘How did Valerie know?”

are you?”

Valerie smiled lightly. “Besides the photo, I smelled a strong odor when we entered, which I initially couldn’t place but now realize it’s medicinal.

“You refused to collaborate with us because of your daughter’s illness, didn’t you? You just wanted more time to be with her, right?

“If you have any difficulties, please tell us. We will definitely help if we can!”

Valerie understood that generally, people prefer modern medicine, and only resort to traditional

medicine if necessary. This indicated that his daughter’s condition must be very severe.

He then glanced at Matthew. He thought that the two of them looked wealthy and influential. He couldn’t find a solution on his own, but perhaps they could.

Danny sighed. “Come upstairs with me.”

Valerie’s heart soared with hope as she followed Danny upstairs.

Matthew was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected Danny to act so differently in such a short

time.

Once upstairs, they opened a door, and a strong medicinal smell hit them.

A frail girl lay in bed, looking just over twenty, with a pale complexion and emaciated appearance, surviving only with intravenous nutrients.

The head of the bed was near the window, where a persimmon tree was visible. If she could open her eyes, she might see it.

“Stella?” Danny called gently.

The girl on the bed did not respond.

Danny sat beside her, wiping her hands with a towel, and then gently massaging with great care.

On the table beside her was a juicer. All food had to be administered through a feeding tube.

Danny said, “Stella has been in a vegetative state. The doctors said she has at most three months left to live. She used to occasionally open her eyes to look at me, but now she’s completely unconscious.”

Seeing this, Danny shook his head and stepped back helplessly. “As you can see, my daughter is gravely ill. We consulted many doctors abroad but found no solution. We had no choice but to

return.

“I intend to spend her last time with her. Everything else pales in comparison to Stella.”

As a father, Danny was choked with emotion, unable to watch his daughter leave like this, but feeling utterly helpless.

Valerie asked, “What kind of illness is this serious?”

“Brain tumor. The doctors we saw said the surgery was too risky, fearing Stella wouldn’t survive the operation. That’s why I had to bring her back.

“I only have this one daughter. I don’t want to waste time on the futile. If possible, I’d be willing to trade life for hers. Since her mother died, it’s been just the two of us. If she leaves too, I won’t be able to live on!”

Valerie looked at Danny, who indeed looked very distressed, lacking any anger. Caring for a patient was not easy, and Danny had already done a lot.

Seeing this, Valerie pulled Matthew, who immediately understood. “I’ll try to contact some experts.”

Danny looked up at him, then

useless. We’ve consulted doctors both at home and abroad.”

Seeing Danny’s disbelief, Valerie quickly explained, “My husband is the president of the Noria Group. He has many resources. Let us try. There might be hope for Stella.”

Danny’s eyes

lit up.

Indeed, he was just an ordinary person, and the resources available to the Grant family were far beyond his reach. If what Valerie said was true, there might really be a chance to save his daughter.. Danny said, “If you can help Stella recover, I will definitely help you achieve your goals. I am willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means working like a servant!”
