Chapter 242: They Beg for Help, but That Person Begs Gemma
This trick worked every time.
“Alright, the Dolton family.”
Mr. Chavez nodded.
Kaiya was even happier inside.
This meant they were acknowledged, and he would remember her.
“Being from the Dolton family gives you the right to block the way? Can you move now?”
Kaiya, “???”
This wasn’t going as planned.
“We…” Ashton was about to speak.
Juelz had already stepped forward.
*Please move aside, we’re looking for someone.”
Ashton was stunned.
Looking for someone?
Not the Dolton family?
At that moment, the waiter also arrived.
“Sir, how may I assist you?”
She was specifically there to serve Mr. Chavez.
Mr. Chavez’s attention was immediately captured, naturally leaving no time to be angry with the Dolton family.
“Was there a woman named Gemma Kelestine dining here today?”
The waiter didn’t expect to be asked about a guest right away and quickly shook her head.
“Are you with her?”
Juelz hurriedly said.
“Yes, we’re together, but my phone died, and I didn’t get the room number.”
The waiter sighed in relief, “I’ll check the logs right away.”
Kaiya was dumbfounded.
Almost without thinking, she blurted out.
“You’re looking for is Gemma?”
Juelz’s sharp eyes glanced at her, “Have you seen Ms. Kelestine?”
Kaiya almost instinctively wanted to say no.
But Ashton immediately spoke up.
“Yes.”
His tone was calm, “Gemma is my niece. May I ask why you’re looking for her?”
As he spoke, he subtly revealed the paternity test report that had been sent earlier.
The Chavez family, who had been cold just moments ago, instantly changed their expressions to smiles.
His face even showed a hint of flattery.
“So you’re Ms. Kelestine’s family. May I ask where Ms. Kelestine is now?”
Jonathan also caught on.
“Gemma is my granddaughter. She values private time, and if you don’t state your reason, I’m afraid she won’t come to see you.”
Normally, no one would dare speak to Mr. Chavez like this.
But now, Mr. Chavez wasn’t angry at all.
“Of course, Ms. Kelestine is a lady, and it’s only natural to be cautious with strangers.”
He quickly had Juelz bring the child over.
“To be honest, my grandson is sick. We’ve had numerous checks but couldn’t find the problem. We wanted to ask Ms. Kelestine to take a look.”
Actually, at first, Mr. Chavez didn’t believe in Gemma.
So when the child first fell ill, they sought out various experts and went to more advanced hospitals.

But after a round of check, the child’s condition worsened, and the child’s mother even became depressed.
They had no choice but to try Gemma as a last resort.
After some investigation today, they found out that Gemma had booked a private room here.
They hurried over.
Kaiya glanced at the sleeping baby but didn’t see anything unusual.
Of course, that wasn’t important.
What was important was that they had just had an unpleasant encounter with Gemma, and now the people they wanted to ask for help were actually seeking Gemma’s assistance.
This…
Was very awkward.
It even felt like their faces had been slapped by Gemma, burning hot.
The Dolton trio exchanged glances.
How? A rural “medicine woman” with no real credentials? And yet.. Mr. Chavez trusted her?
Ashton stepped back, standing next to Jonathan, and whispered.
“Dad, we’d better stay out of this.”
Jonathan frowned. “This is our chance to bond with Chavez!”
Ashton shook his head, “How old is Gemma? If the top experts can’t cure the illness, can she?”
“I’ve checked, apart from Mr. Gray’s case, she hasn’t achieved much.”
“And when Mr. Gray performed the surgery, there were other experts like Dr. Wyne present. She just knows how to hype herself up.”
The implication was clear.
Gemma was a fraud, and now that the Chavez family had come knocking, she was bound to fail.
And the wrath of the Chavez family was no joke.
After some thought…
Jonathan finally made up his mind.
“To be honest, I came today to acknowledge Gemma as family.”
“This child has been lost for many years, and I don’t know how she’s been.”
“But Mr. Chavez, your matter is more urgent. You should attend to the child first, and we can talk about acknowledging Gemma after she’s done.”
Mr. Chavez didn’t delve into the loopholes in their words, just eager to see Gemma as soon as possible.
At that moment.
The waiter hurried back.
‘Mr. Chavez, Ms. Kelestine said that lives are at stake, so please hurry to the private room
With that, the waiter led the Chavez family towards Gemma’s private room.
Not even giving the Doltons a glance.
The Doltons, “…”
Ashton’s expression grew more serious.
“We should still go and see,” he said to Jonathan, “Dad, regardless of the outcome, since we’ve acknowledged our relationship with Gemma in front
of Mr. Chavez, we should know how things develop.”
They thought that Gemma, coming from a mountain village, had no concept of the Dolton family’s wealth, which was why she acted so arrogantly.
Once she was beaten down by reality, she would regret it and beg to be acknowledged.
But now they clearly saw something different about Gemma…
Businessmen always know a good opportunity when they see one.
“For family honor.”
Jonathan spoke with authority.
“After all, she’s considered part of the Doltons. We can’t just let anyone bully her.”
“Yes, let’s go and see,” Madeline adjusted her clothes and spoke calmly.
The waiter’s expression was somewhat complicated.
“But Ms. Kelestine didn’t invite you.”
Kaiya’s face darkened, “We’re here to help! What’s your problem?”

The waiter bowed in apology, “I’m sorry, we just respect our guests‘ wishes.”
Ashton took out some cash and handed it to the waiter, “Don’t worry, no one wants to cause trouble. Your tips.”
The waiter took the money and nodded with great difficulty, “This way, please.”
Gemma quickly arranged a simple little bed and even took off her own coat to lay underneath.
Seeing this, Shawn also hurriedly took off his coat to use as a cushion.
Cassius took off his coat as well.
Soon, the bench became soft and comfortable.
When Juelz brought the child in, Gemma didn’t even exchange pleasantries, directly instructing him to place the child on the bench.
The baby seemed normal on the surface, but the corners of its eyes were yellowish, and its lips kept trembling slightly.
For such a young child, examinations could be inaccurate.
She had to hold her breath and focus, carefully checking.
The entire private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long time.
So long that the Dolton family outside the door thought she had failed, she stood up and slowly spoke.
“Mr. Chavez, Mr. Juelz, if I say the child has a genetic disease, would you believe me?”
Kaiya sneered inside.
She believed that examinations could reveal if someone was weak or had illness.
But to detect genetic issues?
A fairy tale!
Hmph, offending the Chavez family…
She wanted to see how Gemma would handle this!
