Alessia opened the box, and a rich herbal fragrance filled the air. Inside were seven thumb-sized black pills neatly arranged.
Alessia explained, "Grandma, there are seven pills in total, one per day. As long as you persist in taking one pill a day for seven days, your leg condition will improve."
"Okay. Sia, you’re so considerate." Grandma Carter smiled like a blooming daisy and asked a servant to bring water.
"Grandma, do you want to take it now?" Alessia asked.
"Of course, if my granddaughter made the medicine, I must take it immediately." Grandma Carter said proudly and matter-of-factly.
The warmth in Alessia's eyes deepened as she said, "This medicine tastes a bit bitter."
"Bitter, huh." Grandma Carter wrinkled her brow like a child who disliked bitter taste, then seemed to make up her mind and said, "Even if it's bitter, I'll still take the
Though Clara was not happy with this arrangement, she didn't say anything further. After all, those poisonous pills had been taken for testing, and Alessia couldn't escape responsibility. Dealing with her was just a matter of time. Alessia pursed her lips and quietly stood aside. Her suspicion hadn't been cleared, and in this situation, Dominic's actions were indeed the most appropriate. Listening to Bianca's description of the symptoms, Grandma's condition shouldn't be too serious. There was no rush for the examination results to come out. Bianca quietly pulled Alessia's hand and whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Even if there's something wrong with the prescription, you had good intentions. Grandma won't blame you. She'll be fine." “...” As time passed by, the tightly shut door of the ward was opened, and several medical staff walked out. Clara was the first to approach. "Doctor, how is my mom?" Dominic also walked over
Of course, there's a problem. Letting a man live with her sister-in-law, isn't that creating an opportunity for the man to pursue his sister-in-law? However, she couldn't let her sister-in-law know about this idea. The man was hiding so well, her sister-in-law would definitely think she was overthinking. Bianca's eyes flickered, then shook her head reluctantly, "No problem, I'm just curious." Bianca always acted unpredictably. Alessia didn't think much about it and turned to walk back to the ward. It was time for her to see her grandmother too. Bianca watched Alessia enter the ward, suddenly without any warning, let go of Riley's hand. Riley had never thought of relying on Bianca, so Bianca's playful actions had no effect on him. There was no ripple in Riley's gentle fox eyes. He
Just as they were talking, Ava walked in from outside. As soon as she saw Alessia, she expressed concern, "Sia, when did you arrive? Why are you standing at the door? Where are Chris and Elle? Didn't they come with you?" "They're busy," Alessia said coldly, finding a seat and sitting down. "It's summer vacation now. How could Chris and Elle be busy?" Ava pretended to complain, glancing at her, and then sat down beside her. If these words came from Grandma Carter, Alessia might feel pampered, but coming from Ava, she always felt strange. Perhaps, this was the discordant point that she had always felt between herself and Ava. Alessia remained silent, took a sip of water, and saw Nolan opposite her, sitting with his legs crossed, sneering, and speaking sarcastically. "Aunt, you don't need to worry. She didn't bring the children because she's afraid h
On this side, after Nolan left the restaurant, he became more and more angry. He had never been hit by his dad before, but this time he got slapped because of that woman, Alessia. Ever since he met Alessia, he either got slapped or was on the way to getting slapped. Nolan didn't drive home but went straight to the bar. Feeling depressed, he didn't feel like chatting with people or flirting with girls anymore. He just sat in the corner, drinking heavily one glass after another. Until he got half-drunk, he accidentally turned his head and found a woman sitting in the empty seat beside him. The woman wore a green long dress and a beige fisherman's hat, also drinking heavily one glass after another. But her figure seemed somewhat familiar. Finally, Nolan belched and recognized the person in front of him.
On the second day, when they were about to leave, Alessia still felt a bit uneasy. She repeatedly reminded the two kids, "When you reach the Carter family's old residence, don't talk nonsense." Christian playfully made a gesture of sealing his mouth shut, "Alright, Mommy, my mouth is even tighter than a walnut." "Hehe, Chris, when the walnut is ripe, its mouth will crack open," Eleanor teased. "Hey, I just misspoke," Christian playfully stuck out his tongue. He wouldn't admit to his little scheme. However, when Christian's gaze fell on Alessia's serious face, he quieted down. Words aside, antics aside, he would never deceive Mommy. Christian stepped on the steps, tiptoed, and planted a kiss on Alessia's face, "Mommy, don't worry, you're always my favorite person." Alessia smiled, pinching Christian's l
One hour later. In the principal's office of the Royal Baby Kindergarten, Director Fraser and the security guard stood side by side in front of the principal's desk. The principal, with gentle eyes behind her glasses, was on the phone. After saying a bunch of kind words, she hung up. Director Fraser cautiously asked, "Principal, did Miss La Rosa agree to send her two children to our kindergarten?" The principal nodded, "She agreed." Director Fraser breathed a sigh of relief, and the security guard wiped the sweat off his forehead. Curiously, Director Fraser asked, "Principal, why did you insist on inviting Miss La Rosa's children to our kindergarten?" The principal replied, "Because those children are outstanding. The boy is already a black belt in taekwondo at such a young age, and he excels in various sports. The girl is a
After doing all this, she turned to Mr. Patel and said, "Remember, everything I did today was at Margaret's request. If you have any objections, you can go find her. Also, my children have go to Royal Baby Kindergarten, and we don't need any help from your vice principal mother. Got it?" "I g-got it." Mr. Patel timidly raised his head and stuttered in reply. He never expected that this beautiful woman would be so terrifying. If he had known, he wouldn't have left the house today. Satisfied, Alessia narrowed her eyes and turned around, only to see Dominic standing at the entrance of the men's restroom, looking at her indiscernibly with a mix of emotions. Bad luck. Pretending as if nothing had happened, Alessia brushed past Dominic, but heard him say, "Wow, blind date? The man is not bad." Alessia felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't expected Dominic to be in the lobby
Dominic looked at David and instructed, “Give me the keys. You follow with the others.” "Yes," David replied. Dominic took the car keys and drove behind Alessia. As the car kept moving forward, Alessia drove while talking on the phone with M. Before long, M's voice came through the phone line. "Boss, although the west suburban steel mill has been abandoned for a long time, there were indeed some cameras left when it was relocated. I'll switch over the feed right away." "Okay," Alessia responded briefly, her eyes fixed on the phone. Soon enough, the feed came through. Inside the warehouse-like corrugated iron building, seven or eight social youths dressed in a shabby manner were sitting around playing cards. On the ground were iron rods and large fruit knives. In another feed, outside a c
