Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

The old man's face changed instantly, turning serious in a heartbeat. "Is it true

she's gotten involved with someone from the Sartori family?"

"Yes, she's now a young mistress in the Sartori family," came the reply.

The old man chuckled dryly. "You really are cold-hearted, pushing her towards someone in the Sartori family without a second thought."

A flicker of disappointment danced in his eyes. "I thought maybe you had different feelings for your junior."

"You taught me, Master, that everyone can be betrayed and used," Grant's voice was as cold and hard as ice.

"So, why are you here today? You've decided to use her as a pawn, so why bother saving her now?"

Grant's tone remained steady. "Because she hasn't reached her full potential yet. She can't die now."

The old man asked, "How far along is she?"

"Five months."

"So, you want to know how to ensure she delivers safely?"

Grant replied, "I don't care if the child makes it. I just need her to survive."

A sharp glint crossed the old man's eyes. "Grant, her condition is congenital, and extremely risky during pregnancy. Any strong emotion could trigger it, and if it does, there's a 99% chance she won't make it. So don't get any ideas about the baby. If she loses the child, there's an 80% chance she won't survive either."

Even though Grant hid it well, the old man could see he still cared for Chloe. She was a pawn, sure, but also perhaps true love.

Grant's eyes grew even more intense. "So, Master, you do have a way to help her."

"I'm no miracle worker," the old man replied. "I can only lessen the risk."

Grant felt his heart tighten. "How sure are you she can deliver safely?"

"Ninety-nine percent," the old man said.

Grant kept his cool, even though he wanted to argue. "So how do we help her?"

"It's simple. Didn't I teach you all about acupuncture?"

"When the time's right, follow my acupoint map and do acupuncture once a week, along with the herbal remedy I'll give you. It'll balance hormones and stop the aneurysm from growing." noveldrama

Right then, Grant was genuinely respectful. The old man, known as Nemo, was legendary. Grant knew it wasn't his real name.

Nemo had a remarkable life. An orphan taken in by the most infamous assassin group of the time, codenamed Shadow. They

taught more than just killing-net

arts, mysterious skills, medicine, even sorcery.

As kids, Grant and Chloe learned all sorts of odd things and suffered for it, since

their master often used them as test subjects.

Eventually they stuck to just

Taekwondo and combat sports. But

there were two things they

mastered: Grant in acupuncture, Chloe in chess. In these, Nemo was an expert and taught them well.

Years later, Grant still knew acupoints and needle techniques like the back of his hand.

He lowered his gaze, "Write down the acupuncture methods and the herbal recipe for me now."

Chloe didn't see the plan until a week later.

In Grant's office, she looked at the handwriting on the parchment with delight. "It's Master's handwriting."

She looked up excitedly. "Where is Master?"
