Amelia looked at the old, worn passbook and spoke up, “Grandma, I have money.” “You had money before, but now you’ve been kicked out. That family even stopped your credit cards.” Grandma Victoria gently stroked her long hair. “You always know how to make me happy.” Amelia smiled lightly. “Grandma, I…” Before Amelia could explain further, Grandma Victoria’s old mobile phone began ringing loudly, each ring more jarring than the last. Grandma Victoria glanced at the caller ID, and her gentle expression shifted. She started to stand, intending to take the call in private. Amelia, quick to catch on, asked, “Is it Mary Crawford?” Grandma Victoria, unable to hide the truth, nodded in resignation. Amelia smiled gently. “Grandma, answer it. Elijah and I are grown up now. Whatever happens, we’ll be here with you.” Hearing her granddaughter’s words, Grandma Victoria felt a warmth spread in her heart. Suddenly, she felt stronger and answered the call she had been avoiding. “Well, you fin
Grandma Victoria smiled and replied, “Alright, thank you. I understand.”At this point, when someone offers help, it’s out of kindness, and it’s perfectly normal if they don’t. Grandma Victoria understood the value of courtesy.The Smith family urged her, “Why don’t we just forget it and not reopen? Old Ye, let me give you a piece of advice: this shop won’t make it. If you’re short on food or clothing, we old folks can still secretly help out.”The word “secretly” hinted at the true nature of things.Five thousand wasn’t a big deal for families like theirs. It might not even cover the cost of a meal that Mary would host, but she refused to give it, and she didn’t want anyone else to either.People often talk about wicked mothers-in-law, but they rarely mention that some daughters-in-law are even worse.Amelia’s eyes darkened, and her fingers absentmindedly tapped the table.It seemed casual, but there was a growing dark aura around her, with only her eyes glowing, hiding the danger l
"Of course, we'll make more. When Harmony Clinic becomes popular, we can open branches," Amelia said as she gently adjusted Grandma Victoria's gray hair by her temple. "You’ve always wanted to go to New York, right? Let’s open a shop there." Grandma Victoria chuckled as she listened. "My silly girl, do you think anyone can just open a shop in New York? That’s the capital of our country! But I’m so happy to see that you, my Amelia, have such big ambitions!" Grandma Victoria, had lived a long life. When she was young, she was too strong-willed and didn’t understand people’s hearts. By the time she got older, she had lost her job, her legs were no longer strong, and she couldn’t even maintain the prestigious reputation of her medical family. Her son was ungrateful, and her daughter-in-law was even worse. She often wondered, if she could choose again, what would she have done differently… But she didn’t need to choose again. With Amelia and Elijah by her side, and still able to pract
The elderly folks in the alley, just back from their morning exercise, were surprised to see Amelia standing in front of the clinic, fiddling with something. "Amelia, what are you doing?" someone asked, looking up at her. Amelia yawned, looking like she hadn't fully woken up, exuding a lazy beauty. "I'm doing a live stream." A live stream? The neighbors were intrigued! Although live streaming was common these days, and they often saw it on various platforms like TikTok, none of them had ever been part of a live stream in real life. Curious, they all gathered around, eager to see what she was up to. Amelia didn't shy away from their attention and chose the most popular video platform. The platform was offering support to new streamers, and there were relevant policies in place. New accounts could still stream, and as long as they logged in at the designated time, they would receive a small push of about three minutes. Amelia had done her homework the day before, and even this sm
The bullet comments exploded instantly! **[Are you sure you can treat illnesses?]** **[This is just a scam, don't believe it, everyone!]** **[A fake from the Milton family, can't make it, trying to scam money, disgusting!]** As the insults flooded the screen, Amelia remained calm, flipping through the medical book in her hands, completely unbothered. The recommended time was nearly over, but Amelia was unaffected. The more they cursed, the more people joined the stream. The more people there were, the bigger the traffic boost from the platform, and the number of viewers kept increasing. One hundred, two hundred—soon, the number was approaching two thousand. In an instant, the live stream under the name "Harmony Clinic" became the hottest in its category! It even briefly made it onto the trending list! The viewers coming in weren’t just people who knew Amelia; many of them were strangers too. Despite the noise and the barrage of comments, Amelia kept flipping through the med
The boy hesitated, then pressed the microphone button on the live stream, his voice a bit raspy: “How did you know my upper abdomen often hurts?” **[No way! The streamer really guessed it right!]** **[Gotta give this streamer a follow, she’s amazing!]** Amelia absentmindedly tapped her fingers on the desk, her tone calm: “We’re alumni, all learned the four diagnostic methods—look, listen, ask, and feel. A quick glance tells me everything.” The boy, still uncertain, asked: “So, what’s wrong with me...?” Amelia spoke in a professional tone: “It’s not stomach cancer, but I recommend treatment as soon as possible. Avoid takeout and eat easily digestible foods like pumpkin and millet porridge. Also, don’t let your studies affect your health.” If people were still laughing at her earlier, the viewers in the live stream were now completely shocked! The boy’s friend asked: “Old Third, what’s going on? Is what ‘Last Place Wan’ said true? Are you really sick?” The boy didn’t respond. He
At that moment, Amelia immediately took action. She encoded a message to the little girl and spoke clearly into the microphone: “I hope everyone can respect others' privacy, especially that of children.”[User_6: Don't worry, streamer, we won't take screenshots.][User_7: Yes, streamer, hurry and ask, what's going on with that child?!]Everyone had an unsettling feeling in their hearts.However, Amelia didn’t continue asking. She looked at the comments and said, “I will contact this patient privately. Please wait for a moment.”Following the principle of protecting the patient’s privacy, Amelia turned off the microphone.Yet, even with the sound off, the viewership kept skyrocketing.From tens of thousands, it quickly grew to fifty to sixty thousand—heading straight for the top trending spot!Though there was no sound in the live stream, the viewers stayed, all intrigued by what was happening.Amelia switched to private messages and contacted the little girl: “Little friend, when did
Amelia looked into her eyes and said calmly, “I suggest you take Zoe to the bathroom first, don’t let her take a bath, and then we’ll talk.”The woman’s pupils widened, her hands trembling as she held her daughter.One minute later, she reappeared on the screen, her eyes red but no tears, trying hard to control herself.“Zoe, why don’t you go play with some puzzles over there for a while? Mommy needs to talk to this lady.”The woman softly coaxed the little girl, attempting a smile, though it was strained.At this point, Amelia made a suggestion: “I think it’s better if Zoe stays here. She’s more sensitive than other children, and you’ll need to do a lot of things. If you avoid her, it’ll make her more anxious.”The woman lowered her gaze at her daughter.Zoe reached up and wiped the woman’s face: “
Amelia’s fingers faltered for a moment, her gaze narrowing as she looked at the name “Jenkins?” **[What the heck! Saint Emperor!]** **[This streamer is awesome! The very next day, Saint Emperor is sending meteor showers! So envious!]** But it didn’t stop there. The system alert sounded again! **[Saint Emperor VIP Jenkins has sent two meteor showers in Harmony Clinic’s livestream, and 100 Star Rivers will be randomly dropped in the stream!]** **[I Love You: Oh my God! 100 Star Rivers!]** **[Night Eleven: One meteor shower costs 5,000. Three of them would be 15,000, right?]** **[Trying to Get Ashore: Shh, don’t speak, Mr. Jenkins is still sending!]** **[I Want to Be Single: Does pretty girl’s fan’s face hurt?]** In addition to providing substantial income for the streamer, meteor showers also gave the live stream a full-platform broadcast. This meant that anyone who entered the platform could see Harmony Clinic’s livestream! Moreover, the randomly dropped Star Rivers could tur
The live stream chat exploded with excitement. Previously, Amelia was in third place for local popularity, but now her ranking had reached nationwide recognition. The room administrator couldn’t help but marvel at their foresight. Contentedly, they looked over the signing contract for "AngelHall" and confirmed their participation in the competition. Every year, the platform selects the top ten most popular streamers. Those in the top ten receive monetary rewards, ranging from one million to one hundred thousand, and they also get the chance to attend the annual event in the capital city. Seeing that Amelia wasn’t particularly interested in these accolades, the administrator decided to click through and vote for her in all of them. In their opinion, this newcomer had a good chance of making it into the top ten! Of course, she couldn’t compare to the big-name streamers, who had established fanbases. But Amelia's rapid rise in popularity meant she was bound to attract attention, esp
The barrage of comments was scrolling too fast, and Amelia was still helping Grandma Victoria adjust the mic. Grandma Victoria asked, "What are they saying? Should I wear my glasses to read it?" Amelia smiled and said, "They're all supporting you." She then looked at the screen and continued, "Thanks to ‘No Failing’ for the gift. Don’t let your guard down just because you're feeling better. Thanks to all the friends who followed my channel. As usual, we’ll be doing a live consultation today, three people, free of charge." **[Sister’s So Pretty]**: "Did the host really bring her grandma here?" **[Big Spender]**: "Another setup. Boring!" **[Sentimental Guy]**: "Host: ‘The script is ready. Let’s see how well I can act real.’" **[Pikachu Cat]**: "If you think the host is acting, check out yesterday’s replay. A medical professor was here. Thanks." **[Big Spender]**: "Is this really hard? Professors show up if you pay them." Grandma Victoria understood: "Is this saying we’re faking
The fish were too fragile—what did it have to do with him? Mrs. Milton couldn’t understand either: “Why is it that every time you go to the market, all the living creatures there start acting up?” Elijah, holding a meat bun, looked up. Mrs. Milton was changing his clothes: “Forget it, it’s just a few buckets of fish.” Amelia raised an eyebrow and glanced at the crabs in the corner, foaming at the mouth: “Grandma, I think it’s more than just a few buckets of fish.” Mrs. Milton immediately felt a headache coming on. She pinched Elijah’s little arm: “You! Hurry up and hide! Don’t let your Grandma Wendy see you.” Where could he hide? Within just a few minutes, Grandma Wendy arrived at the door. "Elijah!" Grandma Wendy, chubby and with her hands on her hips, was a force to be reckoned with. Elijah almost stood up but was leisurely pressed back down by Amelia. Elijah gestured: What if she bullies Grandma? Amelia shot him a glance: “They’re just old friends bickering. No need to m
Jackson saw how stubborn his mother was and his anger flared as well: "Mom! You’ve killed people with your medical practice, and this issue was finally settled after twenty years of silence. Now, you’re bringing attention to yourself again and dragging the Milton family into this mess, are you trying to ruin us?" "You..." Mrs. Milton raised her cane, ready to hit him! Jackson handed her a card: "Mom, you’re getting older, don’t be so stubborn. I know you don’t like when Mary talks, but she’s my wife, you should at least try to understand me, your son." Mrs. Milton gritted her teeth, her hand clenched in pain: "I’d rather not have you as my son." "Mom, don’t say such hurtful things," Jackson supported her: "That Heart Herb of ours, didn’t the Jenkins family return it? Mom, listen to me, my company is in bad shape, could you give it to me?" At this, Mrs. Milton’s chest rose and fell sharply: "I knew you’d come for the Heart Herb." "Mom, you don’t want to see the Milton family coll
"The popularity is really high, would you like to see..."Mary interrupted her: "Mrs. Ernst, I know your family is close to the old lady, but I don’t want to hear anything about them."With that, she tossed her bag and walked off, as though just being associated with Amelia made her disgusted.Mrs. Young nudged her friend: "Why are you even talking to her about this?"Mrs. Ernst pouted: "I was just trying to warn her, not to ruin herself. But she didn’t appreciate it."The girl Mrs. Milton brought along wasn’t simple.She casually did a live stream and ended up trending on the hot search.Didn't the Crawford family think about these things? How foolish.Mary was clearly furious as she got into the car: "That damn girl is making me lose face again. Why does she have to be a livestreamer? What’s the difference between that and begging for money online? She&rs
Carl seemed to have seen through James's thoughts. He twirled a bead between his fingers, his entire demeanor cold and restrained: "Order them, and have them sent to ClearWater Alley.""Oh! Are you ordering for the little doctor?" James thought to himself that it was fine, nothing too special, especially since Young Master and the little doctor shared a bond of life-and-death friendship.However, Carl then added: "Make sure the label says 'Boyfriend'.""What?!" James almost dropped to his knees.Mr. Jenkins remained indifferent, his lips slightly parted as he spoke carelessly: "With your tolerance, how could you be an undercover agent for the Old Master?"James: *...* Being an undercover agent? That’s not something he’d want. He really couldn't figure out Mr. Jenkins. Oh, the torment!At this moment, in the domestic scene, on the bustling commercial street of LA…Chris was b
Amelia smiled lightly: "It’s Grandma asking what you’d like to eat. She’ll make it for you when you get back."Carl also sensed something different about the little doctor today: "Grandma?"Amelia’s gaze didn’t change: "Grandma’s right here with me."Mrs. Victoria, who had been called out, felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her nose and muttered softly: "I was just worried you might be lying to me."Amelia chuckled: "Well, do you believe me now?"Mrs. Victoria nodded, her face full of joy.People in the circle often said that the smartest member of the Jenkins family was Third Mr. Jenkins.Indeed, it was true. Carl only needed to hear two sentences before he smiled: "Grandma, what’s she been lying to you about?"He didn’t address her as "Mrs. Victoria" but, following Amelia, called her "Grandma."Mrs. Victoria became
Amelia remained calm and collected: "He’s on a business trip."Emma, who was now playing the role of an ally, added: "Mrs. Victoria, I can vouch for it. I saw him get into the car with my own eyes. That car was a beauty! Six million, you know!"Amelia didn’t immediately associate the six million with the Maybach.At the moment, she was busy texting her overly attractive patient.The message was simple: *Lend me a hand.*The patient: *???*Amelia: *I’ll explain later.*The patient: *Okay.*With the patient’s consent, Amelia finally felt reassured.Mrs. Victoria was still concerned: "Such a good match… Amelia, being with him, won’t it be..."Amelia cut her off decisively: "He listens to me."Mrs. Victoria smiled: "That’s good, that’s good!"Amelia was about to let out a relieved sigh
