Chapter 468 What’s With the Riddle?
Jean wasn’t entirely confident.
She couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to cure Samuel’s asthma.
But either way, she had to try.
Based on her current diagnosis, it wasn’t something that could be resolved quickly or easily.

It would take a long period of careful and sustained treatment to have any chance at a full recovery. This would be a war of attrition.
Jean quickly began gathering herbs and administering treatments to Samuel at fixed times each day.
But then, one day-
Jean went to Samuel’s room as usual, preparing to give him his acupuncture treatment, only to find the room empty.
Ever since they’d started, Samuel had never missed a single session.
Of course, apart from his lingering asthma, the rest of his body had long since recovered from the poisoning. He’d resumed work at the hospital and returned to his normal routine.
Aside from staying at the Ginger family home to receive treatment from Jean, his life hadn’t changed much.
Jean looked around the room, scanning every corner.
She finally confirmed–he really wasn’t in there.
Where did he go?
Jean frowned. This was the time they had agreed on.
Samuel wasn’t the type to stand someone up for no reason.
So…
A trace of darkness flickered through her gaze. Could something have happened to him?
After a moment of thought, Jean turned to leave the room, but-
Her leg slammed into the edge of the coffee table. A sharp jolt of pain shot straight through the bone, making her wince hard.
Damn it!
Talk about unlucky!
Gritting her teeth, she instinctively glanced down at the coffee table.
There was a brightly colored sticky note attached to it.
On it, written in Samuel’s neat, elegant handwriting, were the words:

Chapter 468 What’s With the Riddle?
Jean, come to the banquet hall–there’s something I want to show you!
Signed: Samuel.
What?!
Jean stared, stunned.
So he hadn’t bailed on her–he was being cryptic!
What kind of riddle was this?
Why couldn’t he just say it to her face? And why the banquet hall, of all places…
- a) ve Pearls
The Ginger family had a massive, lavish banquet hall–grand and luxurious, meant for hosting parties and entertaining distinguished guests. Normally, no one went in there.
And now Samuel wanted to meet her there.
Pulling this kind of stunt right when they were supposed to be doing a treatment…
This better be something important!
Jean huffed, rubbing the sore spot on her leg, then hurried out of Samuel’s room.
She picked up the pace, heading straight for the banquet hall.
Strangely, she didn’t pass by any of the usual staff on her way.
The maids who were always bustling around seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Today, the Ginger family felt much quieter than usual.
Her steps slowed, and her brow furrowed deeper.
A strong sense of unease started to bloom in her chest.
But Jean didn’t dwell on it–her priority was getting to the banquet hall.
The most urgent thing was to find Samuel.
She picked up her pace again, practically jogging toward the hall.
She didn’t run into Sienna or Dominic either.
They were probably both still busy at the office…
Though the strange feeling kept growing stronger, Jean didn’t have time to think too deep
Finally, the doors to the banquet hall came into view.
She jogged up to them, then paused and glanced up.
