Chapter 136 Thank you

"How are you doing now? Ms. Moore."

"I'm fine. Thank you for coming to see me, Your Highness."

"I mean, you shouldn't hide this from me..."

"So what? This can't be changed."

Barron personally picked up Yulia from the hospital - she suddenly fainted while working before and was discovered by her secretary and sent to the hospital in time.

It was at this time that Barron learned that Yulia suffered from a rare congenital heart disease, which originated from her family inheritance.

Normally, they are just like normal people, but there is a very small chance that they will suffer from cardiac arrest, and if they cannot receive timely treatment, it will lead to death.

According to doctors, with this extremely rare condition, 40% of people will die before the age of 25, and there is a 60% chance of living beyond the age of 40 - there are currently documented cases of this disease Among people, the longest life span is 52 years.

"I think you need the best possible treatment to try and eradicate the hidden dangers..."

"Don't be so nervous, Your Highness the Duke, this is just the first time I've had such symptoms, and thankfully, I'm at least 60% lucky..."

For the moment, Barron didn't know how to answer Yulia's words.

Before coming here, he specifically asked the doctor, who also said that with current medical technology, there is still no effective treatment that can eradicate the hidden dangers of Yulia's rare congenital heart disease.

To put it bluntly, people who really suffer from this disease can only accept that they do not know when they will experience cardiac arrest and be stared at by the god of death.

After being discharged from the hospital, Yulia immediately went to work. Regarding Barron's words to persuade her to take more rest, Yulia just said calmly:

"I understand my situation better, Your Highness the Duke, and because of this situation, I don't want to waste my time."

Although each industry under the family trust fund has its own person in charge, Yulia still has a lot of work, especially when it comes to the cooperation between these industries.

For example, the ongoing renovation of Chatsworth Manor and Callan Castle is accompanied by the renovation of the Manor Hotel and Castle Hotel under the Cavendish Hotel Group. There is also a lot of work involved. Yulia is needed to coordinate.

But on this day, in Yulia's office, Barron still "forced" her to get off work on time.

"I still have something to deal with, Your Highness the Duke."

"Tomorrow can't come soon because today is a special day."

Yulia raised her head and glanced at Barron. After she thought of today's date, she looked suddenly enlightened.

"You finally remembered, Ms. Moore, happy birthday...although I originally wanted to hide it first."

"So this is the reason why you came here today and asked me to leave work early?"

"It's already half past seven, Ms. Moore..."

Barron deliberately looked at his watch and said:

"Although as your boss, I would be very happy to have such active employees, but on this day, it would be too unkind if it continues like this."

So next, Yulia took Barron's car and came to the Devonshire Hotel with him. In the most luxurious private room here, a feast and birthday cake had been prepared.

"What, what are you thinking about?"

After having dinner together and cutting the cake together, Barron saw Yulia looking at the cake in front of her in a daze, so he asked aloud.

"Actually, after I turned eighteen, the Duke spent every birthday with me..."

Barron knew that the Duke she was talking about was not referring to himself, but to his father in this body, the 12th Duke of Devonshire.

"Actually, in my heart, I regard him as a father. I once thought that if the day came to an end for me, maybe he would help me hold the funeral... But I never thought that he would Before me..."

"So, the reason why you didn't get together with my brother was because of your health..."

"Frankly, I wouldn't mind having a partner, but I wouldn't want children because I don't want any future children to suffer the same misfortune I've had. In this case, James was not an option for me. At least I can’t let the Devonshire family lose the next generation of heirs.”

Barron took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said lightly:

"Sometimes I feel that, Ms. Moore, your sense of mission for the Devonshire family is much stronger than mine."

"Perhaps at some point, people always have to find a sustenance for themselves, especially when your life is more fragile than most people."

Yulia looked at Barron with a smile on her face:

"I have to say, Your Highness the Duke, what you have done for the Devonshire family is beyond my expectation. Perhaps it can be said that even James in this position may not be able to do as well as you. I am now I truly believe that the Devonshire family can thrive again.”

In fact, for Barron, although he had been verbally saying something like "reviving the family" before, in his heart, he did not regard the prosperity of the Devonshire family too much as a own goals.

After all, his own soul comes more from China in his previous life, and his sense of belonging to the Devonshire family is not that strong.

To put it bluntly, it's just because the current status of the Duke and the foundation of the Devonshire family can benefit him more.

Although the current result is that the Devonshire family seems to have developed greatly, this is just a "by-product" of Barron's own interests, not his own ultimate goal.

It's just that facing Yulia who was in such a mood at this time, Barron couldn't really say that.

In this private room, there is an observation deck with excellent sight. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the Victorian-style buildings reflected in the light outside.

Yulia and Barron were talking like this, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the scenery outside.

"Your Highness, can I lean on you for a moment?"

When Barron opened his arms, Yulia put her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder:

"I just want to lean in like this at this time, nothing else..."

"I know, Ms. Moore."

Barron's voice came from above her head, and Yulia closed her eyes slightly:

"Thank you very much for celebrating my birthday with me today, thank you."
