Lilian said with a smile, “Don’t worry. It’s not untreatable. Since it’s coming from me, you know I don’t joke around.” She patted the back of Camryn’s hand. “Take it easy. The treatment will be no more than three months. If you can’t see clearly after three months, I’ll get my mentor to treat you, but my mentor can’t beat me when it comes to getting an antidote for poisons. Lilian had a vast knowledge of poisonous plants from growing them, far surpassing that of her mentor. That was how she earned her reputation in the medical and poison field. Heck, she would be called a miracle healer in ancient times. Everybody was overjoyed by the news. They knew there was hope for Camryn to see again with Dr. Carden working on her case. “Thank you, Dr. Carden.” Feeling relieved, Camryn took Lilian’s hands and thanked her profusely. Lilian uttered with a grin, “Don’t mention it. You should thank your Aunt Evelyn, her husband, and your fiancé. You are where you are today because o
Abel left the world in tears. Evelyn had no idea that Cain and Paige had something to do with Abel’s death… These people were cruel. Evelyn believed Cain and Paige deserved to be locked up and faced heavy penalties. They deserved no sympathy.For the things they did to Abel and her niece, Evelyn believed they should get a death sentence. Carrie would soon leave prison. However, so what if she could escape jail time? Without her parents to rely on, Carrie could be arrogant all she wanted, but she would not amount to anything when Camryn regained her eyesight. Evelyn’s mind wandered to her older sisters. They were vicious for attempting to impersonate Callum to deceive Camryn. Callum’s revenge pushed them over the edge, and now they were facing bankruptcy. Served them right! Overwhelmed with emotions, Evelyn and Camryn embraced each other and wailed out loud. Nobody stopped them to allow them to vent the pain and suffering within. Lilian opened her medical kit which
Dr. Carden’s arrival brought Grandma May’s presence at the manor too. The other family members, who were in Wiltspoon, made it back to the family residence as well. Dinner was provided by Callum’s side of the family. Since Callum invited Dr. Carden home, it was only right his family played the gracious host. Serenity blinked her eyes at the sight of Dylan and Peter. She whispered to her husband, “Babe, Dylan and Peter are in Wiltspoon. I thought they’d be chasing after their potential wives.” Zachary murmured a reply, “They got the photos from Nana, but they’re taking their sweet time. Dylan doesn’t seem to like the girl Nana picked out for him. I can’t tell what’s going on with Peter. He’s unfazed.” Meanwhile, Zachary’s younger brother, Austin, was only twenty-five years old but Grandma May had selected a wife for him. Still, Grandma May believed she could delay Austin’s case for another two years since in her eyes, a twenty-five-year-old man was not mature enough. Now tha
Nevertheless, Serenity could not pry information out of Dylan’s mouth if he refused to divulge anything. Dylan was bound to bring home the wife Grandma May had chosen for him. While picking out potential wives for Zachary’s younger cousins, Grandma May would consider whether these women would get along with Serenity. Of course, integrity was an important criterion in choosing partners for the family because only the nice women would have a great relationship with Serenity. At the end of the day, Grandma May favored Zachary and Serenity the most. Zachary was the eldest grandson after all. Of course, he was on a different level than the rest of them in his generation. Zachary was the head of the York family, and Serenity was his wife. Serenity must work to build a relationship with the other ladies too. She should lead by example to be a leader among the ladies. It was the way to go to earn their respect. “Zack, Seren, I’m going to say hello to my parents before they tell m
“I got it, Liberty. I’m almost there.” Serenity said with a smile, “Zachary’s driving. He’s steady behind the wheel.” Liberty felt assured as Zachary was trustworthy. The sisters ended the phone conversation. Duncan waited until Liberty put away the phone before asking, “Are Serenity and Zachary nearly here?” “They said they were five minutes away, so they should be here in no time. The ceremony will go on as planned. Mr. Lewis, do you want to go inside for a break?” The dark bags under Duncan’s eyes tugged on Liberty’s heartstrings. The man had put a lot of effort into getting her new restaurant set up. He often stayed up late with her. After the divorce, Liberty stopped believing in love and marriage. Now that she was faced with Duncan’s affection, she felt that she should not have tarred every man with the same brush. There were still good men around. Well, for starters, Zachary was a good man. Not everybody was like Hank. Duncan was way better than Hank. Ev
Serenity asked Liberty multiple times whether she was short of cash after putting her money into All You Can Eat. Liberty was supposed to let Serenity know if her bank account was drained. Liberty poured her profits back into the restaurant chain and kept some as savings. Nevertheless, Liberty did not run out of funds. She did not need financial assistance from her sister. Serenity and Zachary knew Liberty well and held back from giving Liberty handouts. Liberty would not accept the cash even if they gave it to her anyway. The opening of a new restaurant gave them a good excuse to stuff money to Liberty. Hence, the couple slipped money inside the cards and gave them to Liberty individually. “It’s time to cut the ribbon.” “Okay.” Liberty stood front and center of the ribbon since she was the owner. She shared a moment with her parents in her mind. ‘Mom, Dad, I opened another restaurant. I hope you will look over me and my business from Heaven. Please watch over me as I g
Chelsea expressed her displeasure to her husband and was tempted to take out three thousand dollars from the gift of five thousand dollars. George gave Chelsea a lecture about how short-sighted she was in taking steps to repair the family’s relationship with Serenity and Liberty. To think she wanted to take her parents’ gift to Liberty for herself. Well, she was not one to hesitate when it came to making decisions. Chelsea handed the card with five thousand dollars inside to Liberty even if it hurt her. “Liberty, my parents sent their regards, and here is a card from them. Mom, Dad, and Hank hope your business goes well.” Chelsea was hoping Liberty would refuse the card. She could go back and tell her parents that Liberty took the card, and Chelsea would keep the five thousand dollars. Liberty took the card from Chelsea and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Brown are too kind.” Chelsea forced a smile as Liberty accepted the gift. “Have a spot to sit down, Chelsea. Enjoy the drinks and
Liberty sent the servers to wait on Chelsea and her husband. Serenity was helping her sister out too. She spotted an opportunity to ask Liberty, “Did you invite Chelsea, or did she show up uninvited?” “Uninvited.” Liberty faintly said, “Well, she and her husband are here now. I’m not going to tell them to leave out of respect for Sonny.” Women must be wise when choosing a partner. Otherwise, they would end up like Liberty. Liberty married a sc*mbag, and her child was related to unbelievable relatives. “Liberty, I noticed Chelsea’s reluctance when she handed you a well-wishing card.” Serenity added with a muffled laugh, “I wanted to laugh when I saw the ache in her face from parting with cash. She probably thought you wouldn’t accept the gift.” Liberty cheerfully replied, “The money is from Sonny’s grandparents, and Chelsea is only delivering their regards. She didn’t chip in one bit. There were five thousand dollars inside the card. I don’t expect anything less from
