It wasn't Faye's first time in Jorn City, but she had always been in a hurry on her previous trips. This was the most relaxing trip here that she had.Her luggage was taken care of. They had transport waiting for them upon arrival. Upon reaching their destination, even their rooms were ready.Compared to when she was always on the go, Faye sincerely thought this was the best treatment she had ever received.Indeed, she would live a good life with Cedric.She knew Cedric fared well in Jeorgia, but she didn't expect him to be doing so well in Jorn City, too.Faye couldn't help but look Cedric over. Her guts told her this man before her wasn't as simple as he seemed.Cedric raised his eyebrow. "What? Captivated by my charms?"Faye was rendered speechless.Suddenly, Cedric leaned closer. His tone was flirty as he spoke into her ear, "Many are infatuated with me, but you're the most unabashed."Indignant at being teased, Faye wrapped her arm around his neck. She tilted her chin u
Frederic was in a critical condition. So, Cedric arranged for Faye to stay the night at the villa. He brought her to the Shaw Manor in Jorn City the next morning.Jorn City was the political and economic center of the country. Unlike Jeorgia City, it was stately. And its rich history had left its mark on the city.But as Faye arrived at the manor in the Shaw family's car, she couldn't help but be in awe at the Shaw family's authority.The manor was an expansive, grand estate in the city center. As Jorn City's most affluent family, the Shaw family had a century-long history.They constructed this manor dozens of years ago and slowly perfected it in the following years. Therefore, the entire property was massive and majestic. It was also equipped with pavilions and looked just like a castle.Because of its history, the manor was imposing and gave a solemn vibe. To put it simply, it felt depressing.But it didn't matter much to Faye. She was only here to treat the patient.Sh
Faye heard what Taylor said but didn't think much about it.She knew he was the genius doctor the moment she saw him.Still, he was slightly inferior to her. She was a natural in medicine.Faye approached Frederic. First, she checked his mouth and nose. Then, she flipped his eyelids. Next, she checked his pulse.Faye had mastered the skills of examining a patient and assessing for relevant symptoms.She didn't need the help of equipment, yet she could rapidly detect the cause of a patient's condition.If a patient's illness wasn't too complicated, she could usually diagnose him instantly.She couldn't help but frown the moment she touched Frederic's wrist.Before this, all she knew was that Frederic had fainted abruptly in a family meeting a year ago. He had never awakened since after being sent to the hospital.But his condition wasn't that severe then. An outstanding doctor like Taylor could help stabilize his health condition.The problem was that not even Taylor could cur
Nearly a dozen people squeezed themselves into Frederic's room.Although the room was spacious, the atmosphere grew stifling as the Shaws entered.Faye watched as they eyed her as though she was a monster. She smiled but remained silent.On the other hand, Cedric's face fell as he stood before Faye. "We'll know who's the joke here when the truth is revealed."Solomon's eldest son, Zachary Shaw, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. He spoke righteously. "Uncle Cedric, I won't suspect her credibility because you vouch for her. "We've been trying to find a doctor to cure Grandpa. Only you insisted on seeking Dr. Connor. By right, we should believe you and this young doctor here."But," he paused, "we've only heard about such methods on TV, and there's no saying if it really exists."Even if it does, Grandpa has never wronged anyone who uses such sinister stuff. "The Shaw family has always been upright. Why will they target us?"Solomon smirked. "We won't have blamed you if you c
"Wh-What nonsense are you saying?" Beatrice came to her senses after several minutes. Infuriated, she darted forward to hit Faye."I advise you to think twice about the consequences of your words. How dare you insult us? "We're from the Shaw family!" Beatrice screamed in agitation. She went red with anger.Belle's face also darkened. "Watch who you're cursing. You're only a so-called miracle doctor Cedric found. "Don't assume we'll let you say such nonsense just because of that."Solomon looked at Cedric. "Ced, are you sure you'll just let this woman say whatever she likes?""How amazing. This miracle doctor here doesn't need to run an examination. "All she does is take a look, and she can tell what illnesses someone has." Zachary adjusted his glasses. He smiled playfully. "Do you want to try and guess what's wrong with me?"Zachary was confident he was healthy. There was nothing wrong with him that Faye could reveal.After all, he had just checked his medical report tw
In the car, Faye narrowed her eyes and said, "Solomon has to take care of Mr. Shaw Senior personally. Figure out a way so he does it for these few days."She leaned back into her seat."Hm?" Cedric couldn't catch her meaning.Faye grinned. "Just do as I say."What else could Cedric say? He could only nod. "Okay."But Faye wasn't done with him. "The sixth son of the Shaw family in Jorn City, huh? "How many other identities do you have that I don't know about, Mr. Shaw?"Cedric knew she wouldn't let this slide.He smiled resignedly. "I'll tell you everything when I can, okay?""Whatever," Faye answered nonchalantly.Cedric grew inexplicably nervous. "It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you. Things are complicated. I've barely made sense of it myself."Faye gave him an "okay" gesture. Then, she closed her eyes and rested.She hated family dramas, and she just watched an entire series of them on this trip. It felt more exhausting to her than running for two miles straight. S
Faye didn't return to the villa that night. She stayed the night at the mountain lodge.The mountain lodge acted like an entrance to Yale Pharmacy.Typically, no one would've guessed that Yale Pharmacy was located in a corner of the backyard.Many had searched for the pharmacy but could only find the lodge. They would then leave without succeeding.To treat her own illness, Faye had once come to the pharmacy with Benjamin. She stayed for some time. She didn't want to spend her entire day in the pharmacy. So, she set up a herbs storage cum resting area in the lodge for herself. She would stay there and research drugs when she was free.Today was no exception.She purposely provoked the Shaws yesterday so Solomon would throw her out in a fit of rage. Teaching them a lesson wasn't her sole purpose. More importantly, she had insufficient herbs to treat Frederic.She could ask the Shaw family to get the herbs ready. But that was only feasible if she only charged them two mill
Faye had been busy the entire night. She didn't sleep at all.She felt like her soul and body were two different entities as she drove back to the villa.When she finally reached her destination, she simply parked her car and went in. At that moment, she caught a whiff of something delicious.Faye ran toward the kitchen and saw Cedric in an apron, busy preparing food. He was also looking at her. Faye smiled with satisfaction. "What a feast for the eyes …"Faye wasn't looking at the dishes Cedric prepared. In fact, she was looking at Cedric as a playful smile formed on her lips.Cedric didn't expect her to tease him. He looked at her, amused. "Did you just return from the desert? You want to eat everything you see, huh?"Faye noticed how dirty and messy she was. She cleared her throat uneasily. "I can't satisfy my hunger by eating you. I'm only interested in the feast you've prepared."Then, she realized she had let slip what she was thinking.Cedric didn't specify what he mea
