“Other than the rich and powerful, the ordinary folks have to book two weeks in advance and they might not even get a spot. “I am able to order from there because I already have a booking and I’m using it for Snow. You said you could ask Bourbon to prepare a bird’s nest soup for Snow? You talk big.” Rare things were highly valued. The chefs in Bourbon were renowned for their ability to prepare home-cooked food with a high-end twist. As a result, they only accepted ten bookings per day, and their schedules were filled a month in advance. Kaze said he had ordered food from Bourbon before he arrived. Others might be impressed if he had told them this, but to Vance, who knew Bourbon’s booking system, Kaze’s words felt like a joke. “Vance, don’t waste your time with him. He’s just bluffing.” Miranda teared up from all the laughing. She elegantly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said scornfully, “You even asked Bourbon to deliver the food? Who do you think you are? “
“You? If you were the one who made Bourbon deliver the takeout, I’d eat my shoe!” The bodyguard grunted and shot a scornful gaze at Kaze before going back outside. Had he not experienced the power of Kaze’s slap earlier, he and his colleague would have beaten up Kaze. Moments later, a middle-aged woman wearing a Bourbon uniform came in with two waiters pushing the carts. “Ms. Frost, good evening. I am the manager of Bourbon, Laura. Mr. Lee had requested us to prepare dinner for you. “The bird’s nest soup is prepared specially with Mr. Lee’s high-grade blood bird’s nest. I heard it’s priced over a million and I had ordered our head chef to prepare it for you. “I just have to oversee the delivery and ensure everything is safely delivered. I wish you a speedy recovery.” Snow’s pale face blushed immediately. She looked at Kaze with a happy smile and said, “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.” The expensive bird’s nest was nothing to Kaze. She was happy because Kaze thought of her
Miranda took a deep breath and forced a smile. She said to the manager, “Thanks but I’ve dined at Bourbon many times and I’ve grown tired of the taste.” Kaze scoffed as he shook his head. He was amazed by the woman’s pride. “Snow, if your relatives are not joining, then let's dig in. If you are not feeling it, you can have as little as you want. You can start with the bird’s nest soup.” After he served a bowl of soup to Snow, he started eating. He was hungry. The food tasted great, which lived up to its name. Vance and Miranda watched as Kaze and Snow ate. They did not want to leave either. When their stomachs started growling, even Kaze felt embarrassed for them. After Kaze and Snow were done, the manager and the waiter cleaned the table and left with the plates and carts. Snow noticed the tension in the air, so she said, “Mr. Chairman, thank you for visiting. Why don’t you go back and have some rest? I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Sure. You have some good rest yourself.
The man’s eyes were bright and crystal clear, which made him look energetic and healthy. At first glance, he lived up to his title as a doctor because he would set a great example of a healthy person. The public would also easily trust his skills. If a doctor could not stay healthy himself, then he had no right to treat his patients. However, when Kaze looked at the doctor, he frowned slightly. Dr. Tyson looked healthy, but a little too much. With a warm smile, he entered the apartment under Vance’s guidance. Miranda greeted the man with a bright smile. "Dr. Tyson, thank you for coming all the way from Riverbank. It's rare to have a kind and compassionate doctor these days." The distance between Riverbank and Lilyrose was only an hour's drive. It was not ridiculously far. However, Miranda continued to flatter the doctor and aggrandize him. Dr. Tyson remained smiley and waved his hand humbly. “Treating patients is my duty. Let’s put aside the chatter. Is this young lad
Snow looked surprised before she nodded. “I just moved here recently.” “Dr. Tyson, so you are saying that Lilyrose isn’t a good place for her? Snow moved here to work and that’s why she got sick? “Does it mean if Snow leaves Lilyrose and goes back to Riverbank, she can get better?” Vance asked. “If you want to put it that way, then yes.” Dr. Tyson nodded indifferently. However, Kaze raised his brows. The doctor claimed it was Lilyrose that made Snow sick. The man sounded more like a scammer than a real medical science practitioner. “Snow, you heard Dr. Tyson. Lilyrose is just a small place and it’s bad for your health.” Miranda held Snow’s hand rightly and said strongly, “You can’t stay here anymore. You have to go back to Riverbank and find a new job there.” Kaze curled his lips. It was obvious what Vance and Miranda were trying to do—getting Snow back to Riverbank to create more chances for Vance to approach her. However, their motive and intention sounded ridic
“Ms. Frost’s body is weak and you gave her the blood bird’s nest? It’s too much for her body to take! Do you want to get her killed?!” The kind and humble Dr. Tyson switched to an angry look and bellowed, “How can you disregard life like that?! You are putting her life at risk!” Miranda’s expression shifted. She pointed at Kaze and said, “Dr. Tyson, it wasn’t us! It was this guy here! He was the one who brought the bird’s nest soup for Snow! “Kaze Lee! You bastard! You disregarded Snow’s life because you were trying to win her over? If anything happens to her, I'll sue you!” Vance aggressively grabbed Kaze by the collar and shouted in his face, “Kaze Lee, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? I’ll fucking kill you!” “Let go of me,” Kaze said coldly. “Snow is my most trusted employee, why would I try to hurt her?” He knew better than anyone if Snow’s body could take such a powerful nourishment. “Mr. Lee is right. There’s no way he would try to hurt me. Vance, calm down!” Sno
“Two million!” Vance said with gritted teeth after a look at his mother. Dr. Tyson clenched his teeth as well. “It’s not about money, but for your sake, Vance, I’ll do whatever I can to treat Ms. Frost. “I might not be almighty but I can at least save Ms. Frost’s life. I won’t risk damaging my reputation by making false claims.” Vance and Miranda were thrilled. “Thank you, Dr. Tyson!” Kaze frowned. At first, he thought Vance teamed up with the doctor to put on a show in front of Snow just to appeal to her, but it turned out differently. By the looks of it, the doctor was trying to take advantage of the situation by demanding an exorbitant price. He might still be playing along with Vance but not entirely, which became interesting. Vance took his bank card out and gave it to the doctor. The card contained two million. Dr. Tyson took the card and started to write on a piece of paper. “This prescription was passed down to me by my ancestor. I don’t normally share it,
Miranda scoffed, “Young man, did you hear Dr. Tyson? How dare you question his professionalism? What a joke!” “Calm down. I’m not done.” Kaze did not even look at the woman. His eyes were fixated on Dr. Tyson. “This prescription is fine but it’s only for people whose body is terribly ill and weak, and requires a strong boost of nourishment. “To a healthy person without anything particularly severe, this prescription will cause over-nourishment, which will result in severe consequences that can cost lives. “And I quote Dr. Tyson, ‘It’s too much for her body to take’.” Kaze sounded serious all of a sudden. Dr. Tyson’s expression turned pale when he heard Kaze. “What nonsense are you talking about, young man?! You might know a thing or two about medicine but I am more experienced than you are. How dare you question my prescription?” the doctor bellowed. Vance scoffed, “Kaze Lee, the rich and powerful sought after Dr. Tyson’s service and consultation. Are you saying they
