Originally, Curtis planned to come here early the next day, but he didn't want to wait for even a minute.Without informing Chester, he went straight to his private airport and took a helicopter to the countryside.Even though he arrived at his destination, the people in the cabin were nowhere to be seen.It was too late, and Curtis was tired and hungry. He casually ate something and rested in the tent set up by his subordinates.Early the next morning, he woke up and freshened up quickly, then went to knock on the door of the cabin.But the people inside still ignored him.With no response, he stayed in the courtyard and waited.At 9:00 am, Calvin also came searching.Climbing halfway up the mountain, he entered the courtyard and saw a familiar figure not far from the tent. He was quite surprised.Curtis hadn't noticed Calvin yet, it was his subordinate who reminded him, "Boss, someone's here."Only then did Curtis turn around and was surprised to see Calvin.The two men lo
The two men looked at Lena in front of them. Seeing her finally show some reaction, they both agreed in unison, "Yes, any request you have, we will fulfill."Lena couldn't help but size up the unfamiliar men in front of her. Seeing that he was tall and good-looking, her small face blushed. She stepped over the threshold and walked down the steps past Calvin.Curtis and Calvin's gazes followed her movements.Seeing her walk to the edge of the courtyard, they followed suit.Looking at the crops halfway up the mountain below the courtyard, Lena complained, "My master never does any work. All the dirty and tiring work is left to me, a little girl. I've grown up like this and have never left this mountain. I also want to go out and see, but..."She turned around and looked at the two outstanding-looking, neatly dressed men."For us farmers, no one will take care of my crops when we go out. If you two go to the fields below and remove all the weeds in my cornfield, then I will consider
"Yes, Ms. Stone, Mr. Crosby is with Mr. Morris."Hearing the words of the other party, Margot breathed a sigh of relief.The reason why Curtis went to the countryside was because he hadn't given up.He still cared about them, mother and daughter. He still wanted to invite that miracle doctor to save him.Great.After hanging up the phone, Margot smiled with relief.Natalie walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Did you find Curtis?""Yes, Curtis is in the countryside with Calvin. They are both there looking for that miracle doctor. Now I feel relieved."Natalie also smiled."I told you, Curtis is such a grown man, how could he possibly give up? You're the one who likes to overthink things.""Then let's wait for their news."Margot nodded and sat down on the couch.It seemed that what she had said at the Crosby residence before was correct.As long as Curtis didn't give up and didn't leave them, she would wait for him to come back from the countryside first.She was af
The two sisters reached an agreement and quickly went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.Since they were self-driving, it was very convenient.Early the next morning, they called Tommy, who was on vacation, and prepared everything before setting off.However, when Tommy drove the RV out of the villa, he was stopped by a car coming from outside.Tommy stepped on the brake and leaned out of the window.Before he could speak, he saw Gabriel getting out of the car.Gabriel walked straight to the side of the RV and shouted to Natalie inside the car, "Natalie, where are you guys going?"He was supposed to have been discharged from the hospital long ago, but there was something going on at the company, so he was busy dealing with it.Today, he finally found time to come over and wanted to talk to Natalie, but unexpectedly ran into them leaving.Before Natalie could speak, Tommy, with a dark expression, shouted, "Who are you to care where my sister is going? Get lost."Ignorin
Lena placed the teapot aside and gestured toward a pile of potatoes nearby. "Hurry up and wash some of these. My master wants to eat braised potatoes today."Curtis responded with an "okay" and got up to continue working.While picking up potatoes, Lena suddenly squatted beside him again and asked hesitantly:"Actually…. Does Calvin have a wife and children?"Curtis didn't know what she meant and casually replied, "No."Upon hearing that there wasn't, Lena became even happier.She got up and skipped away happily, humming a tune.Feeling that Lena was very happy, Curtis looked up at her.It occurred to him belatedly, what did Lena mean by asking if Calvin had a wife and children?Was she interested in Calvin?It shouldn't be possible. Calvin was much older than Lena.He didn't think much about it. Curtis finished picking the potatoes, took them to the river to wash, and then brought them to Calvin.Calvin climbed halfway up the mountain and went to the stove to light a fire a
Inside the cave, Lena walked up to Bronson lazily. "Master, please wait a moment. Lunch will be ready soon."The man sat there year after year, his white hair covering his entire face.Even though the midday sunlight streamed in from the skylight, illuminating the entire cave, his appearance remained obscure.But at this moment, his voice was no longer as old, but instead hearty and deep, tinged with some displeasure."How long do you intend to entangle with those two men? I've told you, without that child, I won't save anyone."Lena's gaze flickered, and she frowned."Don't you often say that saving one life is of boundless beneficence?""That's for ordinary people. Those pampered young masters, even if I don't intervene, they still have a chance to survive."It just takes some effort and depends on timing.To unconditionally save some merchants who reek of money? They could dream on.Lena lowered her head, suddenly at a loss for what to do.Bronson snorted. "You defied my
Bronson explained, "I'm just afraid that you will be hurt."Lena couldn't understand what he was trying to imply.He asked, "Do you have feelings for Calvin?"At this, Lena blushed and avoided his gaze."If you think he's the one for you, I'll arrange your engagement to him. If he agrees, then I will do whatever they ask."Lena hesitated when she heard his proposal.He would have Calvin marry her?Could it be that everything Master did was for her own good?She wasn't sure if it was true.She hadn't even met Calvin when Master made things difficult for them before. Was he doing it all because he was afraid she would be taken advantage of?Bronson continued despite Lena's confusion, "Don't say another word. Go ask Calvin yourself. If he is willing to marry you, then so be it."Of course, the child must take me as his master. He does not need to stay by my side for 17 years, but he shall take my medicine."The poison has a limited effect, and it activates once a year. In othe
She didn't want to go against her master's wishes.Calvin glanced at Lena, certain that she wasn't joking.No wonder Curtis seemed a bit off during the first few days. It turned out that he was sick. But was it fair for Calvin to marry someone he wasn't into just for Curtis' sake?If he married someone else, then what about Natalie?Calvin was about to refuse but Lena immediately added, "And also, think about the woman who came with you earlier, Margot. Her health isn't good, and she can no longer bear children."Lena summoned up her courage and continued, "If you marry me, my master will give her medicine so she can have children in the future."Perhaps, she was also a bit selfish for wanting to be with this man.Although they shared no feelings and didn't understand each other, didn't marriages used to be arranged by parents and matchmakers?Many couples in historical times got married without meeting each other beforehand. She believed that they would gradually develop feeli
