Capturing the Young Doctor's Heart: Mr. Big Shot Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 139: Keane Lowell’s Love Surpasses All
Meanwhile, in The Lowell Family.
The lights gently illuminated the room, as the two people sat with tense expressions in the conference hall.
It was Old Mrs. Lowell and Madeline White.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having a conversation.
It was not just simple small talk.
From the moment she was called over and saw her mother-in-law’s serious face, Madeline White sensed something was amiss. She chose a seat diagonally opposite her, straightening her posture as much as possible, cautiously dealing with the situation.
"Do you know who Keane Lowell is seeing now?" Old Mrs. Lowell spoke slowly, her sharp, aged eyes carrying a faint sense of intimidation as she looked at her.
Madeline White replied calmly, "I know."
"Then you should also know that the person he is seeing is from the Prescott Family."
She hesitated for a moment.
Under that piercing gaze, Madeline White slowly nodded.
Didn’t expect Claire being from the Prescott Family would be discovered so quickly.
However.
Seeing her nod, Old Mrs. Lowell’s expression changed quickly, scolding her: "Nonsense!"
The angry voice reverberated throughout the room, like a storm that passed over, gradually calming down.
Madeline White lowered her gaze, unable to face that stare directly.
"Knowing whose granddaughter she is, you two, mother and son, one chasing relentlessly, the other silently condoning, where does this leave the dignity of our Lowell Family?"
Madeline White replied softly, "Other family’s daughters don’t interest him; we can’t let him remain a bachelor forever, can we?"
"That is not an excuse for indulging him."
"The reason... Leaving Claire Prescott’s background aside, I really like this young girl, and she matches well with my son. You can’t deny everything about her just because she’s from the Prescott Family."
"No matter how good she is, there are definitely better girls out there, and none of them as tied to the Prescott Family."
"Keane likes her; that in itself surpasses everything."
Seeing her repeatedly contradict her, Old Mrs. Lowell’s face turned livid with discontent.
She spoke with a stern voice:
"He is a man, the one in charge of our Lowell Family, and should have ambition, handle everything rationally and steadily, with our family’s dignity and interests as the priority."
"Back then, we helped the Prescott Family become the leading merchants in Valoria, and they turned around, ungrateful, breaking off our engagement with them, marrying a singer instead. Because of that, our Lowell Family became the subject of ridicule."
"Everyone in the Lowell Family has remembered the shame of those years. When you entered our family, everything about our family was told to you. Our Lowell Family and the Prescott Family have been openly business rivals for many years now."
"You, as a mother, instead of advising him, why do you let him act recklessly?"
After the scolding.
With Old Mrs. Lowell frowning, the atmosphere around them became heavier.
Those words were tantamount to shifting half the responsibility onto her.
Yet Madeline White was unfazed.
The rules in the Lowell Family are numerous, with many views deeply ingrained in their minds. Every child must receive the unique family education from the moment they are born in the Lowell Family, hence each child is raised as rigid as a log, bound by various rules and etiquettes.
It’s not just the Lowell Family’s descendants; even she, who married into the family, must abide by their restrictions.
It’s very frustrating.
Having been in the Lowell Family for so many years, she was used to her mother-in-law’s reprimands.
Although she often pretended to comply while defying secretly, the matter of her son and Claire was important and could not be perfunctorily dismissed.
She opened her mouth, about to argue, when a slender shadow fell at the doorway.
Immediately.
Keane Lowell walked in confidently under the gaze of the two, greeting them politely.
Old Mrs. Lowell said with a stern face, "Sit down."
Across a solid wood table, Keane Lowell sat opposite his grandmother, meeting her gaze directly. "Grandmother, my matter with Claire is unrelated to my mother, please don’t take it out on her."
Old Mrs. Lowell, her voice curtailed, spoke earnestly: "Since you already know why I called you back, shouldn’t you provide me with a reasonable explanation?"
After speaking.
They fell into a brief silence.
Old Mrs. Lowell’s gaze fixed upon Keane Lowell, more serious than ever.
Keane replied steadily, "I approached her on my own accord, and from the start, I knew she was from the Prescott Family."
"You knew yet still..."
Keane’s voice was deep and sincere, "I have considered this for many years; it’s not a mere whim."
Upon hearing "many years," Madeline White couldn’t help but turn to look at him, her well-formed brows stirring ripples.
It’s no wonder that when he returned to the country, he didn’t show any interest in the meticulously chosen matches for him, probably he had already fancied her a long time ago.
However.
He spent six years overseas; the little doctor was in the country all these years. How did they end up entangled and take a liking to each other?
Opposite, Old Mrs. Lowell looked at him calmly for a moment before asking coldly, "Do you mean to continue developing your relationship with her?"
Keane replied without hesitation, "Yes."
The tone sounded very determined, yet it went against the old lady’s wishes.
"I disagree," Old Mrs. Lowell said sternly. "Not only do I disagree, but the entire Lowell Family wouldn’t agree."
Upon hearing this.
Madeline White’s face darkened.
Keane’s expression remained unchanged, always maintaining the respect due to family, but the light falling upon him enhanced the calm and reserved aura surrounding him.
"You’ve always been steady in your actions; why are you being so muddled in matters of marriage and affection? If you continue with her, then all we’ve done to the Prescott Family over the years will become a joke, shedding away the dignity of the Lowell Family." After speaking, Old Mrs. Lowell sighed deeply.
Madeline White interjected, her tone softening, "Mom, I have met Claire; she’s a good child. She studied medicine with her grandfather at Sinclair Apothecary in Kystral since she was young, grew up there, and recently saved the Lancaster Family’s eldest from the brink of death single-handedly. She’s skilled in medicine and also smart and kind, a rare gem."
"Moreover, Keane is also our child, since childhood he’s never let us down. He’s contributed to this family for so many years, with a calm disposition, finally meeting someone he likes. Why focus so much on the family’s face; isn’t the child’s happiness what matters most?"
Old Mrs. Lowell’s eyebrows furrowed, "What you’ve mentioned, I’ve considered all for him. As long as it’s not a child of the Prescott Family, anyone else is fine."
Madeline White muttered inwardly, "If that’s the case, then the second young lady from the Thorne Family who entered before, and the Piano Master you drove away could also have become suitable." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Keane was momentarily speechless, helplessly glancing at his mother.
Old Mrs. Lowell sighed, "I’ll eventually be driven to my grave by you."
Madeline White replied more seriously, "In any case, as long as my son insists, I will support him to the end."
Seeing the mother and son united, Old Mrs. Lowell had no more tricks to play, glanced at Keane Lowell with disdain, and simply ordered, "Go reflect in the ancestral hall, come out when you’ve thought it over."
