Only by marrying him could I bring Callum back. So, I would pour everything I had into waking him, even if it meant exhausting all of my medical skills.
As my words sank in, Jaxon’s expression shifted. Then, he snapped irritably, "Stop boasting. What do you even know about saving people? Arabelle is the real doctor!"
He dragged Arabelle forward and placed her in front of Tessa.
"Mrs. Montgomery, Arabelle just returned from studying abroad. She’ll definitely be able to save Rigel.”
“She’s the one who cured my legs!"
Tessa let out a cold scoff. "She cured your legs? I don’t trust someone who turned her back on my son."
Arabelle’s face turned pale.
Jaxon quickly explained to her, "Arabelle and I have been engaged for years. We were childhood sweethearts. The engagement with Rigel was something our parents forced on us."
Tessa let out a cold laugh. "Seems like you really don’t know people at all. Whatever. It’s a good thing I have Liora now. The two of you can leave."
Still trying to defend herself, Arabelle protested, "Aunt Tessa, don’t be fooled by her. How could someone like her possibly know medicine? She’s probably bluffing. Leaving Rigel in her hands would only make things worse!"
