“You don’t seem like a blind person when you do all these things, Ms. Newman.”Camryn placed the stick back in its original position. She said indifferently, “I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve been running this flower shop for years and doing the same daily routine. I can do it by instinct since I’m used to it.”After opening the door, Camryn put down her cane and started moving potted plants that were taking up space outside skillfully. “What flowers do you want to buy today, Mr. York?” Camryn asked Callum as she moved the flowers. “You can take your time and look around.”After watching her move several flowerpots, Callum finally decided not to be a spectator and went forward to help her. He moved all the potted plants that needed to be placed at the flower shop’s entrance.The name of each flower was on every flowerpot. However, the names were not written on paper but on wood. Each flower’s name was carved on a wooden sign, which enabled Camryn to identify the flower her customers
Carrie could not stand her brother treating Camryn well. She asked Mrs. Newman to send him to a boarding school since he started first grade to reduce the time he stayed at home. Even so, he still treated Camryn better. Camryn’s brother, who was younger than her by nine years, had always felt guilty. He blamed himself for not being able to get their parents to send her to the hospital when she was sick while he was in school. It had caused her to lose her sight. In that family, Camryn had only felt the warmth of family from her brother. Callum listened to her saying the most heartbreaking words with a calm tone. He strangely felt sorry for her. It could be due to him knowing she was the wife his nana had chosen for him from the start.Callum was treating Camryn as his woman. “Happiness will come after hard times,” Callum said with a deep, gentle voice. Camryn smiled at him. “You don’t have to feel sorry for me, Mr. York. They don’t treat me well, but they’ve raised me un
Callum and Camryn had not even started dating. Well, he had started, but she did not know about it. It was understandable that she refused to give him roses. “The flowers are pretty. Thank you for the bouquet, Ms. Newman.”Callum accepted the flowers and admired them. After thanking Camryn, he said to her while holding the bouquet, “I’ll head to work now, Ms. Newman.”Callum walked out of the store and went to his car. He opened the passenger’s seat door and placed the bouquet on the seat. He turned to glance at Camryn before getting in the car and driving away.Camryn listened to the sounds at the entrance. She let out a breath of relief when she heard the sound of a car engine starting. She felt like Mr. York was targeting her. Not targeting, to be exact, but he seemed interested in her. Maybe he had never seen a blind person. Camryn never thought Callum would fall for her. She was blind, after all. Callum brought the bouquet Camryn gave him to York Corporation. After gett
Callum asked curiously, “The rumored genius doctor? Can that person heal eyes?”“Of course a genius doctor can treat anything. Otherwise, why will that person be called a genius?”Callum asked again, “Where’s the genius doctor? I’ll have people invite him over.”“He used to hang around FC Manor in Annenburg, but he hasn’t been there lately. I heard the genius doctor’s student is close to Lee but isn’t on good terms with Tim. You can ask Remy about it.“The student’s last name is Carden. She’s a great woman. She had traveled with Mrs. Lafayette to Meadspring and helped the Lafayette family eliminate their greatest enemy in the past. She fights well, and her medical skill is as good as her fighting. Oh, by the way, she’s an expert in using poison.”Despite that, Ms. Carden was a doctor and prioritized saving people. Although she was good at using poison, she would not use it to harm others.“A person as great as that must be hard to invite.”Zachary said, “It’s fine as long as you
Lucas’s kidnapping was a good example. Chelsea was immersed in watching the scene at that time. She did not pay attention to her son, which caused Lucas to be kidnapped. When she realized it, Lucas had already been carried far away. All the Browns were here—Hank and Chelsea with their parents. Jessica was not on good terms with Chelsea and she did not like Lucas. She could not be bothered to appear insincere, so she was not with them. Truth be told, Jessica was feeling guilty—she was afraid of facing Liberty and Serenity. She was also scared of them noticing her guilt and suspecting her. “Come here, Sonny. Let Aunt Elisa carry you.”Elisa waved her hand at Sonny. He had always liked his pretty Aunt Elisa. He packed the toys he had not finished assembling immediately and walked toward her. She lifted him after he extended his hands. “You haven’t finished assembling them?” Elisa asked softly. The child shook his head. He said, “Dunc is busy. I can do it if Dunc teaches me
“That’s right, Serenity. Thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren’t for you, Lucas and Sonny might’ve… I won’t continue living if something happens to the two children.”Mrs. Brown felt thankful toward Serenity too. Serenity said, “Mrs. Brown, Chelsea, you thanked me yesterday. Sonny is my nephew. I’ll surely protect him well.”No matter how naughty Lucas was, she could not stand by and leave him either. In that situation, anyone who had the ability would not choose to abandon the children. “We should be thanking you. Do you have time, Serenity? We want to treat you to a meal,” Chelsea asked with a smile. “Invite your sister too. I’ll treat you two to a meal. By the way, you have two bodyguards. Are they outside? I want to thank them personally too.”“Chelsea, you can treat them instead of us. Milo, Harry, come in for a second.”Serenity had but only ordered the bodyguards to save the children. The ones who actually saved Lucas were these bodyguards. It was only right tha
Old Mr. Hunt had spread rumors that Scott was not their biological son in their hometown. When he felt like he had made up enough rumors, he came looking for Serenity eagerly the next day. “What are you guys doing here?”Mrs. Brown looked like she saw an enemy when she spotted Old Mr. Hunt. She still remembered that he had collected tens of thousands of dollars from her but did not do his job. She went to get her money back, but he refused to own up. It infuriated her a lot. Upon seeing Old Mr. Hunt bringing his son and grandchildren with him, Mrs. Brown glared at him with a cold face. “You’re trying to ruin Serenity’s reputation again, right? You old fart.”Mrs. Brown had heard about the Hunts causing commotion before. She told her husband in private before that the Hunts were utterly brazen. They took away a considerable portion of the insurance payout over ten years ago and even chased Liberty and Serenity out, which resulted in them not being able to return home. They did n
“See? The old woman in your family is facing retribution now. She’s sick, right? You don’t have to seek treatment for her. She’ll die anyway even if she gets treated. She can meet her maker earlier and apologize to your son and daughter-in-law.”Mrs. Brown and Chelsea were sharp-tongued. Their scolding had Old Mr. Hunt jump to beat people up. Mr. Brown and Hank stepped forward and stopped him from moving. Old Mr. Hunt pointed his finger at Mrs. Brown and scolded, “It’s none of your business. Who do you think you are? It’s none of your concern. You, a Brown, have nothing to do with the Hunt family’s matter.“A married daughter is like splashed water. The sisters were the ones who shamelessly came back to fight for property. Do you divide and give any property to your daughter? You leave them all to your son as well. Look at you talking.”Chelsea said loudly, “I got married to a capable husband. I have a house, a car, and savings. I gave up my inheritance to my younger brother. I
