The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1647

“Miss Moore, what on earth are you suggesting?” Merlin’s innocent gaze met hers.

“You seem unhappy with the Garza family, not me.

I was just curious.

Miss Moore, please don’t take it personally The Garza family can’t compete with you.

”

Uncertain of Merlin’s motives, Hannah responded coolly, “Yes, I’m really not happy with the Garza family.

But let me be clear, I don’t like you either.

”

Merlin remained unfazed by her frosty words, as if he had anticipated her animosity.

With a knowing smile, he remarked, “Even if I offered to help you take down the Garza family, you wouldn’t entertain the idea of teaming up with me, would you?”

Hannah’s eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Had he lost his marbles? Why was he openly declaring his intention to target the Garza family in front of her?

“Have you had your head examined lately? I think you should get your brain checked.

”

Merlin chuckled, clearly amused.

“Miss Moore, you love to joke around.

”

Hannah’s expression remained stern.

“I’m not joking.

I mean it.

”

Merlin shrugged off her seriousness.

“I’m not joking either.

I sincerely propose to help you with the Garza family.

”

A silence lingered before Hannah spoke, “You just mentioned that you’ll do whatever it takes to reach your goal.

So, why are you helping me? What’s in it for you?”

Merlin’s smile turned faint, his lips pale as he replied, “I like talking to smart people, so let’s not waste any time and get straight to the point.

I want you to cure my legs.

That’s my goal and my condition.

”

As he finished, Hannah’s gaze drifted to his legs.

“Your Garza family is powerful and influential.

You should be able to replace a skilled doctor to cure your legs easily.

Why come to me?”

“Because you are the Phantom Healer,” Merlin replied deliberately.

With an unwavering stare, he presse

d on, “No need to rush to deny it.

If I can figure out your identity, it means I’ve done my research thoroughly.

I understand you don’t want it revealed, so I haven’t told anyone else.

”

He truly had a knack for digging up secrets.

Despite her unveiled identity, Hannah’s demeanor remained unchanged.

“I admit that I’m Phantom Healer, but I don’t know if I can cure your legs.

”

“You have a friend named Rocco.

” Merlin inclined his head and retrieved a photo from his pocket, capturing Rocco strolling at school.

“I discovered that his legs were disabled, and you helped him stand up again Narrowing her eyes, Hannah shifted her scrutiny from the photo to Merlin’s countenance.

“But you should understand that if you truly can’t stand up, I’ll have no other option.

”

At her declaration, the smile at Merlin’s lips waned slightly.

His tone turned chilly as he said, “Then please, Miss Moore, try to think of a solution.

If you’re able to heal my legs, I can assist you with handling the Garza family and also share some secrets they’ve kept hidden for over twenty years.

”

Upon hearing this, Hannah set aside her glass, casting a deliberate glance at him.

“I’m just a bit curious.

Would you really betray the Garza family just to heal your legs? They’re your family.

How could you let go of that?”

A peculiar grin crept across Merlin’s face.

“They’ve already abandoned me.

Why should I remain Loyal to them? Moreover, there are many branches of the Garza family.

They hurt and kill each other for interests.

I’m just betraying them to accomplish my goal.

It’s not a big deal.

”

His righteous attitude made Hannah silent.

Merlin’s fundamental values justified his behaviors.

If he didn’t think for himself, he would be hurt by others.
