Chapter 1959 A Gamble with Fate

Chapter 1959

If her grandfather passed away, Sonia would be devastated,

倉

That left Shane with no options, like a fish out of water. He had no choice but

to go along with it.

Soon, they arrived outside a large room on the third floor of the mansion.

Inside, a man who appeared to be an assistant was enthusiastically

boasting, “Members of the Toma family, you have my deepest condolences!

Let me tell you, Dr. Ghezzo isn’t just the top doctor in Eldoria; he’s one of the

best in the entire country. If he says someone can’t be saved, not even a god

could change that!”

Hearing that load of hot air, Shane couldn’t help but snort “out of respect.” He

thought it was harmless, but in the somber atmosphere, where everyone

else was silent with grief, his snicker rang out, sharp and intrusive.

“Who? Who just scoffed?” The assistant immediately grew agitated, feeling

like someone had challenged his words, daring to make a fool of him.

eyes turned toward the source of the sound. The focus quickly landed on

Shane–the short, chubby, and eccentric young man had suddenly become

the center of attention.

“Was it you, fat boy?” Cezar glared coldly at Shane. “My father is on the brink

of death, and everyone here is grieving. Who do you think you are, laughing

like that? Who even brought you here?”

Everyone was curious–no one seemed to know this odd character.

“Uncle Cezar, I brought him,” Sonia spoke up, biting her lip. “He’s a highly

skilled master from outside the city. He said he could save Grandpa, so I

brought him home.“

The room erupted in murmurs of surprise. Shane’s eyes widened. What the

hell?! When did I ever say that?!

“Miss, don’t exaggerate! I only said I could try-”

“Really?” Before Shane could explain further, Denis jumped in, eagerly shaking

Shane’s hand. “You’re clearly someone special–just look at you! You must

have extraordinary abilities! Please, I beg you, save my father!”

“Uh… well… uh…” Shane was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Sonia and Denis were both praising him–one calling him a reclusive master,

the other claiming he had extraordinary talents. Shane had never received

this kind of praise in his 20 years of life! He had tried so hard to hide his

mediocrity, yet his future wife and father–in–law had somehow figured him

out. It had to be fate!

But what good was fate if he didn’t have the skills to back it up? What was he

supposed to do now?

“You can’t be serious, Sonia! How can you be so sure this fat guy is really that

skilled? He looks more like a farmer than a miracle worker!” Carmen, with

arms crossed, sneered from the side.

Before Shane could fire back, Sonia defended him passionately. “I’m not mistaken! When he saw me on the street, he figured out Grandpa’s illness

without me saying a word. And Rhea told me his senior is a renowned doctor

in Nuthana. He’s definitely got the skills!”

Oh, man… Shane cringed internally. Sure, Manny’s a genius, but what does

that have to do with me? But with Sonia standing up for him like that, he

couldn’t undermine her faith in him.

Carmen scoffed again, rolling her eyes. “Fine, let’s see this play out then. If Dr.

Ghezzo declared there’s no hope, I doubt this guy can do anything. But hey,

I’m all ears.”

The rest of the family didn’t seem convinced either, and Gabi’s assistant, in

particular, looked furious, as if Shane had come to undermine their authority.

“Young man, are we not offering you enough? Is that why you hesitate to

help?” Denis Toma, growing desperate, threw out a wild offer. “If you save my

father, I’ll give you my daughter’s hand in marriage. Or, if you prefer, name

your price!”

Wait, what? Shane’s hand dropped from his face, his eyes widening in shock

as he looked at his future father–in–law, “Are you serious?”

Unbelievable!

The Toma family elders exchanged disbelieving glances, all thinking the

same thing: This shameless chubby guy actually wants to marry Sonia? Even

Carmen rolled her eyes in disdain. Does this pig really think he can win the

prize?

Sonia’s face turned beet red, mortified that her father would make such an

offer. But for the sake of her beloved grandfather, she stayed silent.

“That’s right. Or, if you prefer, we can discuss money-” Denis had still hoped

to pay Shane off with cash.

To his surprise, Shane gripped Denis‘ hand tightly. “Money isn’t important to

someone like me. I’m not interested in material wealth. But seeing how

sincere you are, Dad, I’ll make an exception and help you out this time!”
