When Faye returned to the villa with Cedric, it was already past ten at night. Cedric suggested that Faye take a shower and go to bed. Faye lifted her head with a pitiful look and said, "Mr. Shaw, just give me two more hours, okay? It's still early.""Do you have plans tomorrow?" Cedric frowned. In the past two days, Faye had only slept for half an hour. Observing signs of fatigue on her face, Cedric felt a pang of heartache and simply wanted her to rest early."I have a rehearsal in the afternoon, but Avery will handle it for me, so no problem.""Alright, then practice again tomorrow morning, hmm?" Cedric suggested, attempting to guide Faye toward the bathroom.Faye turned around and hugged Cedric, playfully smiling. "No, Mr. Shaw." She tiptoed and planted a kiss on Cedric's lips. "Before midnight, I will make sure to clean up and lie down. You can join me when you come back, okay?" As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a playful charm. Coupled with her soft body—teasing and
The entire morning, Faye dedicated herself to training in Avery's exclusive dance studio. It wasn't until after 11 that she concluded her session. She took a refreshing shower, changed into fresh clothes, and then made her way downstairs. Upon receiving Cedric's message about his arrival, she hastened her descent down the stairs. Once she made her way outside, she saw Cedric's parked car.She opened the car door and got in. Faye questioned with a hint of confusion, "Didn't you invite someone to come with you?""I happened to be heading to the hospital for a personal matter, so I came alone," Cedric replied, smiling. He leaned in close to Faye's neck, breathing in her scent. "Besides, when my wife works so hard, it's only natural for me to want to constantly care for and look after her."Faye's lips lightly brushed against his ear, a playful chuckle escaping her. With a sly tone, she remarked, "For such thoughtfulness, how should I reward you, Mr. Shaw?"Cedric grinned from ear
"Mmm ..."A gentle tap on her forehead interrupted Avery's thoughts, prompting a frown as she turned her attention to Faye."You little fool," Faye said as she withdrew her hand. "I personally prescribed the medicine to you, and there's been no issue. Did you forget the extra ingredient I instructed you to add each time you prepared the medicine?"Avery blinked, clearly perplexed, and questioned Faye, "You mean vinegar?"Recalling Faye's directive to add a touch of vinegar to the concoction each time, Avery had faithfully followed her instructions. Even when Hannah had inquired about the purpose of adding vinegar, Avery had brushed it off casually, claiming it was a personal preference for the sour taste.At the time, Avery had regarded Faye with an odd expression, as though she had lost her mind. However, she trusted Faye completely, so she did not question the instructions given.She would soon come to learn that her trust had proven to be a life-saving decision.Avery could
The unexpected business opportunity left Faye momentarily uncertain about how to react. The first time she found Victor collapsed at the elevator of Jeorgia Hospital, Faye had checked his pulse and gained a basic understanding of his condition.Initially, Victor's illness shouldn't have been so severe, considering his overall good health. However, due to his reluctance to cooperate with treatment, minor ailments persisted—eventually evolving into chronic issues that lasted over a decade. In his youth, he likely served in the military, evident by his robust physique. The reason for his illness remained unknown to Faye.However, clear traces of poisoning manifested in his body. The dosage per intake seemed minimal, with toxins accumulating subtly over time. But extended exposure to these toxins—even in small doses— could be lethal.Had Victor cooperated with treatment earlier, even if he had been poisoned, his body wouldn't be in such a poor state. Yet, he had given up on himself.
"What was that?" Lukas asked in surprise."Faye's prescription is problematic? That's impossible ...""It must be a mistake on your part. Faye is a miracle doctor," Lukas said, his expression turning dark. More significantly, Victor had turned down numerous doctors but consented to Faye's treatment. Didn't that alone testify to Faye's remarkable skills? Lukas didn't care about others, but when it came to Victor, whom he respected the most, and Faye, the lady he admired, he would defend them no matter what."Umm ..." Captain Zims hadn't anticipated Lukas's intense reaction and was momentarily at a loss."Is there a misunderstanding here?" Victor interjected calmly. Despite not fully understanding Faye, he instinctively chose to trust her. Faye's willingness to take on his case and establish conditions for his own well-being convinced Victor of her reliability. Moreover, she'd already saved his life before without demanding anything in return."Well, perhaps we should meet Ms.
The captain turned his gaze toward Faye. "Ms. Brown, are you acquainted with the heir of the Cawsway family?"Faye lazily shook her head. "I don't know him."Acknowledging her response with a nod, the captain signaled his subordinates to bring in Hannah. Upon her entrance, Hannah immediately pointed at Faye and yelled, "It's her, it's her! She confessed to giving me that prescription.""Officer, Mr. Cawsway, I'm truly innocent. She framed me. Sob, I'm a victim here," she pleaded.In contrast to Matt's calm demeanor, Hannah appeared much more disheveled. Her clothes were messy, her hair unkempt, and her face worn out. Her dramatic entrance, loudly accusing Faye, clashed with the indifferent atmosphere of the onlookers, earning her disapproving looks.A single action could reveal a person's character. Therefore, Chief Janaway already had a poor impression of Hannah. Looking at her pitiful display, he furrowed his brow."I don't know why she's receiving such courtesy from the lead
Matt was convinced.The Cawsway family was prominent in the field of medicine. While not everyone in the family pursued a career as doctors, each member possessed a fundamental understanding of medical principles, regardless of their ages. Others might be uncertain about the potential toxicity of combining medicinal materials, but Matt wasn't. He was sure that this medicine was non-toxic.Not only was it devoid of toxicity, but it was also an exceptionally rare and effective prescription for addressing a range of injuries. This remedy not only facilitated rapid healing but also yielded remarkable results by leaving no scars.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic and immediately purchase it for his research.As the future heir of the family, Matt had been diligently studying medicine. Although his family had many ancient prescriptions in their possession, most were incomplete. Even after years of research, he still hadn't fully deciphered them.Matt was friends with
Cedric, who had been silent all along, felt somewhat displeased as he observed the intense gaze of Matt. He stood in front of Faye and said coldly, "So, the prescription itself isn't the problem. It's just that someone couldn't resist temptation, selling it without the owner's consent and without grasping the specific nuances of its usage. "The Cawsway family's pharmacy lacks the necessary expertise. You knew enough to tell the prescription was good but failed to comprehend its true essence. You sold the medicine recklessly, which caused this series of events."Although Cedric's summary was simple, it clarified the entire course of the case. At this point, it would be impossible for Hannah to claim that she wasn't wrong. After hearing these words, the police had a clearer understanding of the whole incident and the truth was so evident that it couldn't be swayed by what a few people said. "Well done, Mr. Shaw!" Chief Janaway stood up, applauding fervently with admiration in hi
