After getting the answer he wanted, Baron quietly let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Then, Miss Sophia, I'll go and book you a flight ticket back home right away!"
With that, without waiting for Yuan Meng to react, Baron turned around and rushed away.
Yuan Meng didn't say anything since Baron was willing to help. However, this scene fell into the eyes of Catherine, who had just been coaxed, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Damn Oriental woman, you still want to steal my Baron..."
She was still wondering where Baron was in such a hurry to go. It turned out that he was going to meet with the Oriental woman!
Baron had just whispered sweet nothings to her a second ago, and the next second he ran to find Yuan Meng. This made Catherine extremely jealous.
She wanted to take revenge, but she was afraid that Baron would dislike her because of it. For a moment, she was caught in a dilemma.
Catherine wasn't the only one who witnessed this scene. There was also Baron's younger brother, Barton.
Since that casual glance the other day, Barton had taken a fancy to Yuan Meng. However, due to Baron's harsh methods, he didn't dare to act rashly.
However...
Pinching his chin, a wonderful plan flashed through Barton's mind.
Heaven never seals off all exits. Right now, he had a useful helper!
Barton walked forward quickly, feeling complacent.
Hearing the noise behind her, Catherine thought it was Baron coming to look for her. She turned around and said, "My dear, I knew you definitely wouldn't... Uncle Barton, why is it you?"
Catherine felt extremely embarrassed, especially since she had been so eager just now...
Barton didn't care whether Catherine was embarrassed or not. But now that there was one more topic he could bring up, he naturally wouldn't miss this perfect opportunity.
"Sister-in-law Catherine, I didn't mean to interrupt you. In fact, I was afraid you would do something stupid, so I... You can scold me!"
The smile that Catherine had barely maintained froze for a moment. With a cold face, she said, "This has nothing to do with you. I won't scold you."
"No! Sister-in-law Catherine, I know you're feeling bad, but I believe my elder brother didn't do it on purpose. I hope you can give him a chance to correct his mistake, okay?"
Hearing this, Catherine fell silent.
It was true that she was very upset, but she wasn't so angry that she completely lost her senses. This Barton must have other motives!
"Then, Uncle Barton, do you have any wonderful plans that can give me an outlet to vent my anger?"
Barton thought his plan was working. A flash of pride passed through his eyes, but when he looked at Catherine, he deliberately paused.
"This..."
"It's okay. You can just say it. Even if you say something wrong, sister-in-law won't blame you."
Catherine's eager look to take revenge on her rival made Barton secretly rejoice again.
"Sister-in-law Catherine, I do have a plan here, but I need your cooperation."
"Ah, I won't do anything like murder or arson!"
Barton secretly scoffed at Catherine for not being that brave, but on the surface, he smiled helplessly.
"Do I look like a merciless demon?"
"Not really. I'm just afraid your elder brother will be angry when he finds out..."
"Don't worry. As long as sister-in-law Catherine is willing to cooperate, this plan will be absolutely flawless!"
Barton was extremely confident in his plan.
Catherine pretended to ponder for a while, and then nervously asked, "So what's your plan?"
Barton didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked around. After making sure no one was around, he lowered his voice and leaned closer to Catherine.
"Sister-in-law Catherine, you regard that Oriental woman as a thorn in your eye, and I'm willing to help you pluck it out."
"Do you mean you want to get that woman?" Catherine pretended to be surprised and didn't completely deny Barton's words.
It was normal for a woman to be jealous, so Catherine didn't deny anything.
She could see through men's thoughts clearly. So when Barton came to "comfort" her on his own initiative, she more or less guessed his purpose.
She really hated that Oriental woman. If there really was someone willing to help at this moment, it wasn't unacceptable!
"Okay." A smile reappeared on Catherine's face. Looking at Barton, she said word by word, "Whether I can win Baron's heart or not depends on you, Uncle Barton!"
"This plan will definitely work! Sister-in-law Catherine, just open your eyes and watch how I avenge you."
Yuan Meng, who was being plotted against, was completely unaware of the meeting and the plan between Barton and Catherine.
It had to be said that Baron was really efficient.
It had only been more than ten minutes since their conversation, and Baron had already successfully booked her a flight ticket back home tomorrow and made all the necessary preparations for the treatment.
"Miss Sophia, everything is ready. Do you think we should start the treatment now?"
The one who spoke was a doctor who was a relative of the Baron family.
At first, the doctors looked down on this young and beautiful woman the most. But due to Baron's authority, they had no choice but to yield.
It wasn't until they witnessed with their own eyes how Yuan Meng grasped the pathology that they had been unable to study for years that they all sighed in admiration and admitted their mistakes.
Because of this, their attitude towards Yuan Meng was even more respectful than that towards Baron.
Yuan Meng was already ready. Looking at the elderly man lying on the operating table, a glint of determination flashed through her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hidden under the mask curved slightly.
"Start the operation."
At her order, the doctors and nurses began to assist her and got busy.
For others, this operation might be a long and arduous battle, but for Yuan Meng, it was just half an hour in the blink of an eye.
Outside the operating room, Baron paced back and forth restlessly, but didn't dare to make too much noise.
He trusted Yuan Meng, but the person lying inside was his respected father, so it was inevitable that he was extremely anxious.
Fortunately, this anxiety only lasted for half an hour. The previously closed door of the operating room slowly opened in front of him.
"Miss Sophia!" Baron greeted her with surprise in his eyes. "Miss Sophia, how's my father..."
"Don't worry. Everything went smoothly."
As Yuan Meng's voice faded, a seven - foot man actually cried like a child.
She didn't comfort him, nor did she laugh at him. After all, this was human nature.
"The next half an hour is crucial. If the old gentleman's condition stabilizes, I'll return to my country tomorrow."
Hearing this, Baron was even more overjoyed and nodded frantically. "That's right. You've worked hard!"
Yuan Meng shook her head.
Maybe it was because she had been too tense during the operation or she had been standing for too long. As soon as she shook her head, she felt dizzy.
Seeing this, Baron immediately called a servant standing not far away and asked the servant to take Yuan Meng back to her room to rest. At the same time, he also told the servant to ask the kitchen to prepare more nutritious food.
The servant wrote down everything and then led Yuan Meng away.
Yuan Meng was extremely tired. She followed the servant subconsciously. She didn't know that the servant in front of her had already been bribed by Barton and Catherine.
When they arrived at the door of the room, the servant respectfully opened the door. Yuan Meng rubbed her tired eyes and entered the room.
She was so tired that she threw herself on the bed and gradually fell into a deep sleep. She didn't realize at all that the room she had entered was not the one Baron had originally arranged for her.
Not long after Yuan Meng fell asleep, the doorknob turned, and Barton, with an excited look on his face, quickly slipped into the room.
