Chapter 1762: Irreversible Future
Darrin couldn't believe it either. Reuben appeared carefree and unconcerned, never focused on his
work, but who would have thought he had such expertise?
Darrin confirmed, "So you mean you can be the anesthesiologist who joins us in rescuing Alisha?"
Reuben interrupted Darrin, "Yes, me, it's me. I can do it! No need to find someone else. No one is more
reliable than me!"
Darrin's mouth twitched a few times. "You really can?"
Reuben rolled his eyes. "What's with the doubt? Do I not look like I can? I graduated first in my class
from medical school. And I even work at the Royal Hospital in Rohomes, performing complex surgeries
every month. Do you think I don't know how to administer anesthesia?"
He patted his chest. "Don't even mention anesthesia; you don't need to find a doctor either. Both tasks
are on me. From anesthesia to surgery, I can handle it all by myself. That way, you'll have one less
person to worry about, and the target is narrowed down."
Joyce looked deeply into Reuben's eyes and said, "That's even better. Thank you."
Reuben glared at Darrin. "You see, Joyce trusts me. Don't worry, I have experience. No matter how
difficult the surgery, I can handle it."
Darrin nodded. "If you lend a hand, I believe everything will go smoothly."
In front of Joyce, Reuben took out another satellite communication phone and dialed a number within
Rohomes. He spoke to his trusted subordinate, giving some brief instructions. He requested that his
subordinate obtain the new anesthesia and immediately deliver it to Khebury. He also asked for his
usual set of surgical instruments to be sent over.
His words were professional, completely devoid of his usual carefree demeanor. Reuben, when
serious, seemed like a different person, garnering admiration from others.
After Reuben finished arranging everything, Joyce finally felt the reality of the situation. The first
difficulty had been successfully resolved, and she felt a slight relief.
They would tackle the next challenges one by one.
After Reuben hung up the phone, Joyce formally addressed him, "Reuben, today's matter is purely
personal and unrelated to our previous cooperation. Consider it a great personal favor owed to you."
Reuben heard Joyce address him as "Reuben" and felt that they had grown closer. But when he heard
her mention owing him a favor, it clearly drew a line.
His expression fell. "How can the matter of a child be considered a favor? You're being too distant in
your words, and I'm starting to get upset."
Joyce smiled. "I can't be too thick-skinned, can I? Let's separate different matters."
She suddenly turned serious. "Actually, I know that you deliberately got close to me. Besides knowing
about my warlord identity and wanting to cooperate with me in eliminating OGW, you must have other
motives. But right now, you don't want to say it out loud. Otherwise, you wouldn't have appeared in
Khebury out of nowhere. Am I right?"
Reuben was taken aback. Joyce was right; he did come to Khebury with other motives.
He opened his mouth but ended up saying, "No matter what my motives are, I will never harm you."
"If you have any requests, just say it. As long as it's within my power, I'll do everything I can to fulfill it,"
Joyce promised.
Reuben furrowed his brow, and naturally, his purpose was to obtain the reverse pulse electromagnetic
technology. He knew that it was likely related to Joyce in some way. However, he didn't want to say it
now. He genuinely wanted to save Alisha, and it wasn't meant as a bargaining chip.
"How about this? Let's agree that after we rescue Alisha, you can make a wish anytime you want. I'll do
my best to fulfill it. How does that sound?" Joyce noticed that Reuben seemed a bit unhappy and took
a step back, putting the promise into the future.
Reuben nodded. "Alright, then maybe I'll borrow something from you when the time comes. It may
burden you, but I promise I'll handle the situation well."
Joyce nodded. Although she didn't know what Reuben was referring to, a bond had formed between
them, and she wouldn't refuse.novelbin
"Now that it's settled, it's too late. I'll leave now," Joyce stood up, ready to leave.
Darrin made way for her.
Reuben had just stood up as well.
Joyce smiled. "No need to see me off. Let's keep in touch. Goodbye."
With that, she walked away from the Situ Manor, and Darrin followed closely behind.
Reuben watched Joyceleave, her slender figure filled with determination. She disappeared into the
darkness, and soon Darrin drove the car away.
Reuben couldn't snap out of it for a long time. Sleep had long abandoned him, and his mind was filled
with thoughts of her. He lowered his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.
No one would believe it if he said it out loud. He had studied medicine for so many years, yet his own
mother was confined to a psychiatric hospital. He didn't even have the right to visit her. That's the
inhumanity of the Rohomes royals. To bring about change, he had to overthrow them.
He narrowed his eyes, protecting his loved ones was everyone's instinct. So he understood Joyce's
current state of mind.
He hoped that everything would go smoothly.
On the other side, Joyce and Darrin left together.
As Darrin drove, he asked, "Sir, Reuben has a medical background, but his mother is kept in a
psychiatric hospital. It's really strange. I've been suspicious that there's more to it. Reuben's mother, is
it possible that someone deliberately targeted her? Forcing her into the psychiatric hospital? I didn't see
Grizela today, and last time, she inadvertently hinted at it. I don't think I misheard."
"It's very possible. Moreover, it's likely that Reuben studied medicine for the sake of his mother. I feel
he has a strong dependence on his maternal family. To some extent, he doesn't want to acknowledge
his Rohomes identity. Don't you think so?"
"Yeah, I feel the same way." Darrin continued to accelerate, returning to the Warner residence as
quickly as possible.
When they arrived, it was already three in the morning.
As they parked the car, Darrin still had some concerns. He advised, "Sir, no matter what, the fact that
we've resolved the anesthesiologist and doctor issues simultaneously is great news. Rest well and take
care of yourself."
"Okay." Joyce got out of the car. "Don't worry, I won't easily fall down. I'll hold on until the end for their
sake."
With that, she walked into the house, went upstairs to Anderson's room, and gave him a kiss. Then she
went back to her own room, exhausted, and lay down on the bed. Her body was exhausted, but her
mind was filled with thoughts of Alisha and Luther. Every step she took from now on had to be carefully
considered, or else she would face an irreversible future.
