The CEO’s Substitute Lover

“Gar Gills has a bad heart.” Looking at the basket of fresh apples, Maud went over and took a big, red one, wiped it with her hand and took a bite, then sat back in her chair and chattered.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“To get to the point, President Banbury said that Octavia Gills meets his standards in every way, and since Octavia is now the head of finance, he wants Octavia to teach his daughter about finance and let her run the company’s finances in the future. He hopes that Octavia will teach his daughter the financial side of the business so that she can take care of the company’s finances. As soon as Octavia Gills agrees, President Banbury will have his lawyer prepare a prenuptial agreement and he will pay for Gar Gills’ surgery as soon as they are registered.”

Elda Block was afraid that if her son heard too much, he would be burdened by his sister in the future, and even more afraid that he would not want to see his sister sacrifice her happiness to save himself and refuse. So, she dragged her sister-in-law toward the door, and was surprised, seeing Octavia Gills standing there as soon as the door was opened, with her face was very calm.

“Oh, Octavia, you’re here, I’ve been waiting for you for half a day.” Maud was overjoyed and took Octavia Gills’ hand, thinking that if she was taken care of, their company would not have to worry about its income for more than a decade.

“Wait, Maud, my sister, she won’t agree to this marriage, so don’t bother! Even if my sister agrees, I won’t accept that she was sold to President Banbury to raise the money for my operation. Sister, if you dare say yes, I won’t have you as a sister.” Gar Gills knew his sister’s character and temperament, and if he did go that far himself, she would sacrifice herself to save him. So, he had to stop his big sister who was as stubborn as a stick in the mud.

Octavia Gills came over to Gar Gills’ bedside, smiled slightly, stroked Gar Gills’ head and said lovingly, “Silly, your sister will not sacrifice herself, but I will make you well.” Gar Gills stared suspiciously at Octavia Gills, trying to find a trace of her lie on her face. Octavia Gills seemed to understand Gar Gills’ concern and got up and bent down and whispered surreptitiously in Gar Gills’ ear, “Your sister’s comic is a big seller, and now people want to buy my copy of my “Searching” to make an anime TV series that would pay for your small medical bills. With that, she playfully winked at Gar Gills, signaling a reassurance to him.

“Maud, I have taken care of everything for my brother’s medical expenses, so I don’t need you and Durwin to do that. If you two really feel that you need to take care of my brother and mother in order to do right by my father, you and Durwin can just help with the medical expenses here, 10 or 20 thousand, a thousand or a few hundred would be very helpful, and we will be grateful!”

Octavia Gills said this to her aunt Maud in a seemingly gentle manner, but it made Maud break out in a cold sweat as soon as she heard about the money they had to pay. Maud quickly changed the topic in a sloppy manner.

“Octavia, you have to have a conscience! As the old saying goes, ‘You can’t help the poor when you are poor!’ You, Durwin, and I look like people with a little money, but we don’t have enough money. You see, you Durwin knew that Gar Gills needed this money to save his life, and knowing that he couldn’t help you, he begged the President Banbury to give you this opportunity to help your brother. That’s not just $10, 000 or $20, 000! Durwin, he’s not only saved you from poverty, he’s also cured your family of poverty! That’s a great service, a great merit!”

Octavia Gills was speechless, and admired the Maud who could make such an unethical thing sound like a great virtue. However, it’s time to help Gar Gills with the transfer process.

“Maud, I really have already borrowed the money for my brother’s medical treatment, so I am not blessed to accept President Banbury’s share of the great credit, if you are free, Maud, you can accompany me out to pay for the medicine, I came out in a hurry, did not bring so much cash and I still lack about a couple of hundred dollars. Why don’t you lend me a little, and I will pay you back later!” Octavia Gills dragged her by the hand and was about to walk towards the payment office when her Maud panicked and shook off Octavia Gills’ hand.

“Elda, talk to Octavia Gills! Your family will have a lot of money to spend, once Octavia Gills is married, she won’t have to worry about any money at all. Your children are not sensible, you’ve got to make them see sense! I’ve been out too long, Durwin’s going to eat later, I need to go back and cook for him.” Before she left, she glared at Octavia Gills and said, “You can’t just back out of a marriage that Durwin has paid so much money for.”

Elda Block, who had heard Octavia Gills say that she had raised the money, was unsure of the truth and asked, “Octavia, is everything that you said true?”

“Don’t worry, Mom!”

The main entrance to Notre Dame Hospital

The director personally went out to greet the president of Group Davi, who has been donating supplies to their hospital for years.

Tredan politely opened the car door for Professor Aldred, who had just returned from the USA last night, and walked together to the hospital entrance.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Professor Aldred. All our medical staff are delighted you are here and have come to work for you.” The old director was overjoyed and shook Professor Aldred’s hand with excitement, and greeted Tredan.

“President Davi, everything is ready, we’re just waiting for you and Professor Aldred!”

“Very well! Let’s go then!”

Having said that, they proceeded together to Gar Gills’ ward.

Octavia Gill’s family was blown away to see such big-wigs gathered in the ward.

“Tredan…” Octavia Gills didn’t expect Tredan to come over in person, he didn’t say he was coming last night! Before Octavia Gills could say his name, Tredan had already come forward to introduce himself to Octavia Gills’ relatives.

“Hello Auntie and Gar, you can call me Tredan, I’m Octavia Gills’ boyfriend. This is Professor Aldred, who I hired, he came back from the US, and will be in charge of Gar’s illness from now on!” Gar Gills’ eyes couldn’t help but light up when he heard Tredan say that it was Professor Aldred.

He was a legendary cardiologist who had performed 3, 581 different heart and brain surgeries, none of which had failed, and every patient had recovered successfully to live a normal life with a normal heart. Little did he know that the professor would now return to treat himself.

Gar Gills was so excited that his tears fell as he shook Professor Aldred’s hand and said, “I didn’t expect you to come and treat me, I don’t know what to say! Thank you, thank you!”

Then, he excitedly ran over to Tredan, who claimed to be his sister’s boyfriend, and said, “I love you!”
