2025-01-18 18:04:46“What?” Carl asked, his wrist adorned with a crimson bead, looking as noble and cool as ever.
The combination of his refined appearance and well-tailored suit created an almost destructive allure.
Amelia reached out, her fingertip grazing his diamond cufflink, her smile turning slightly seductive. “How about I bite you?”
She would never have asked for such a thing before.
Whenever her anger flared up due to her condition, she would hold it in, using cold water to cool her head.
But for some reason, when faced with him, she found herself unconsciously wanting to test if his neck was as cold as it looked.
Most people would refuse such a request.
But Carl chuckled softly. “Bite where?”
“On the neck,” Amelia replied, her voice already tinged with impatience. Her tongue slid over her lips, a carefree and beautiful smile playing on her face.
Carl wrapped his arm around her waist

Amelia looked at the marks on his neck and raised an eyebrow, smiling. “I asked you before I bit you—how does that cover your medical costs? What responsibility do I have?”“I can pay for it.” Carl’s voice was a little hoarse, probably from catching a chill. When he chuckled, his breath brushed against her ear, low and thick. “After taking responsibility, it’ll be easier for you to bite next time.”Amelia felt a little moved, her long black hair cascading down her back, her gaze sharp. “Let me think about it.”“Take your time,” Carl seemed to smile lightly. “It’s not just that you need a boyfriend. My family is pressuring me too.”Amelia raised an eyebrow. “Then why did you cancel the engagement?”She hadn’t forgotten what she had overheard in the hospital.Carl’s tone softened, his voice light but lingering. “I still

He didn’t like how she always kept him at arm’s length.With investments, yes, but now even gifts?It seemed like she had to account for everything with him, every little thing.The world always said he was cold and aloof, but they had never seen her. On the surface, her smile was light and shallow, and her interactions with others were flawless.But in reality, she always gave people the feeling that they couldn’t get close to her, like there was a thin mist between her and everyone else.Carl’s pale fingers brushed the beads on his wrist, his handsome face emotionless, but the temperature in his eyes slowly dropped.Amelia noticed and stopped refusing. She smiled, showing off her pearly teeth. “No worries, I’ll take the pendant.”She lowered her eyes to admire her new waist chain, her expression softening with a smile. “It goes well with me.”Carl murmured an “Mm,&rd

Although he was a materialist, preferred to believe in the possibility of something existing than to deny it entirely. But most importantly, why would the young master give the jade pendant he wore close to his body to the little doctor!? That didn't make any sense! James dared not ask. Smith, on the other hand, was bold enough to speak up: "Boss, the little doctor figured out that I’m your subordinate." "Quite normal," Carl said, his long strides thoughtful as he remembered how clever she was. He suddenly smiled faintly. "She always thinks more deeply than others." Smith let out a breath of relief and immediately pledged loyalty. "Don’t worry, I won’t tell Old Chairman about your secret." "Secret?" Carl glanced at his fingertips, his tone slow. "What secret do I have?" Smith thought his boss didn’t trust him, so he spilled everything he knew: "The little doctor

In the Clear Water Alley, inside the medicine shop.Amelia was still fiddling with the purple jade pendant she had taken from Carl. Something felt off about her today.It wasn't just her usual temper; it was also the familiarity of the purple jade.In her memories, this should be her possession. So how did it end up as his personal pendant?Things were too messy. Amelia pressed her fingers to her brows, her eyes glinting mysteriously, as if caught in thought.She was gradually beginning to recall some things, but most of it was fragmented images. It seemed she still had to wait. Amelia reattached the purple jade pendant, her fingers brushing over her lips. What was it in her patient's blood that made her feel so out of sorts?Amelia’s medical skills were honed mainly by using herself as the subject for testing. And when she treated herself, she didn't just use good medicine but also bad ones.Moreover, she had planted the Heart

Carl was indeed not wearing a brand-name suit but rather one specially tailored for him by a renowned French designer. Apart from the royal family, no one else would ever get their hands on such a bespoke piece. However, the Jenkins family had always been an exception. Such secrets were beyond the reach of someone like Mary. Although the Crawford family was powerful in the capital, Mary was only from a branch of the family. In the capital, they usually couldn’t even be bothered with her, and it was only after Mia was admitted to the capital university that they reconnected. Mary had to prove herself in LA to get into the higher circles. "Why do you insist on picking on that girl?" Jackson asked impatiently. "She's already gone, and now she stays with the old lady. At least they have a small business to rely on." Mary sneered, unlocking her phone and opening the live

"My last name is Remington," William said arrogantly, as though announcing his last name would allow him to bypass any obstacles. The staff member furrowed his brows: "Sorry, sir, the Chamber is hosting a very important guest today. We didn’t invite any doctors, so please leave with your companion." William had never felt so humiliated: "I..." But the staff member, as if following an order, spoke into his Bluetooth earpiece: "Yes, I’m at the entrance. Mr. Jenkins has arrived? Good, I’ll be right there!" Mr. Jenkins ? Mia’s eyes flickered. Could it be the man she hadn’t met last time, but would meet now? William was still upset and hadn’t noticed Mia’s change in expression. Until Mia spoke softly: "William, let’s stop taking pictures. Let’s go walk ahead." William’s mood lightened a little: "Okay."

"Why do you keep mentioning her?" Mia's gaze dimmed slowly, and as she lowered her head, a hint of malice appeared on her face. William didn’t notice, thinking she was just upset, and laughed: "Don't overthink it. I only have you in my heart now. As for her? Ha, she doesn’t even know how to give in. No man will want her." "Really?" Mia bit her lip, her eyes misty. "But Aunt Remington always looks down on me. She prefers my sister." William reached out and pulled her into his embrace: "Don’t worry about my mom. She can’t control my dad, and soon, I’ll publicly announce that you’re my fiancée." "Okay." Mia responded sweetly, but her thoughts were still lingering on the image of the man she had just seen. She had to figure out how to meet him again; it was the only way... At that moment, on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce, representatives from many maj

"The Jenkins family is very interested in Mr. Lee’s project," Carl said as he stood up, his handsome face looking both elegant and abstinent. "Mr. Lee can inform your side to proceed with the contract." Chris was confused: "This... I... Did I even talk about it?" How did he just get the resources like that? Wasn’t this like a pie falling from the sky? No, it was different—at least the pie wasn’t a trap. Yin’s company had real money behind it! The other executives were just as puzzled. Medical live-streaming? What was that? Only Carl understood what was going on in his mind. He bit down on a sugar pill, his gaze flickering between light and dark. This way, she would still have him among her investors. Only James seemed to understand his thoughts: "The Little Doctor’s side..." "Chris will tell her." Carl’s voice was low.

"Still, you should probably avoid talking about her and that man’s affair too much—it’s all about public perception.""Oh, I know," Carrie replied. "It’s just us chatting! Her PR team already released a statement denying everything, but the netizens aren’t buying it. Some media outlets are still camping outside the hospital, trying to confirm if she was really pregnant and got dumped. My friend has always marketed herself as pure and innocent—this scandal needs to be cleaned up ASAP!"She straightened up in her chair."If you can fix this, my friend will definitely send you a huge red envelope!"Mia hesitated for a moment, clearly tempted."No need for that," she finally said, pretending to be selfless. "I just know this has been stressing you out, so I want to help.""Mia, you’re the best!"Carrie blew several kisses into her phone."Be honest, Mia—do you read fortunes or something? Everything you say always comes true!"Mia smirked mysteriously."That’s not something I can discuss."

"They'll probably try to smooth things over and get the Crawford family to spare her.""But over time, the Cromwell family will grow tired of this constant manipulation. That girl has no idea how miserable her end will be!"The people nearby nodded in agreement."At the very least, we have to acknowledge her abilities for now," one scholar remarked. "Saving Mr.Cromwell proves that her medical skills are indeed impressive."Mr. Crawford scoffed."It was just luck."What he truly coveted was the ancient acupuncture manual his student possessed.If he could get his hands on it, his status would be solidified.After all, when he observed Mia’s needling techniques, her movements were still unrefined.But now, obtaining the book seemed nearly impossible.The Crawford family might have already gotten to it first.Mr. Crawford narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.Meanwhile, Mia rushed back to school, her face pale as a sheet.She had called Uncle Crawford many times, but he never picked up.It

In social circles, Mia had always maintained the image of an orphan—A narrative designed to highlight her talent.Even when Jackson came looking for her, she claimed he was just a distant cousin.And thanks to this daughter, Jackson managed to climb his way up to a small-time contractor.People’s impression of her was that she was simple, well-mannered, and somewhat pitiful.After all, for a young person new to New York, life wasn’t easy. Some of the older generation naturally wanted to lend her a hand.Who would have thought—she had the Crawford family backing her all along?But now, the Crawford family was clearly trying to distance themselves from the Adler family scandal, treating her like a discarded pawn.The scholars exchanged glances and subtly stepped away from her.Evelyn was still under investigation in LA.Once upon a time, Mr. Adler had been highly respected in New York’s medical circles—now, he wasn’t even allowed to leave his courtyard.And don’t think the storm has pa

Today, if Mia’s reputation collapsed, the Crawford family would have a much harder time manipulating things behind the scenes.That was why Ernest stepped forward.He glanced at Secretary Frank, then at Amelia."Since things have come to this, why not show some mercy?" He spoke with a seemingly benevolent tone. "After all, you are in the medical field too. A true healer has a compassionate heart. Just because you saved Mr.Cromwell doesn’t mean you should completely cut off another doctor’s path."Amelia was sharp.Just by looking at his face, she could immediately match him to the information she had read.Seeing that the Crawford family couldn't resist jumping out, her eyes held a hint of amusement."I was wondering who had the power to whitewash Evelyn’s apprentice," she mused, "turns out it’s the Crawford family."One sentence—Ernest’s expression turned dark."Young lady, you should speak with evidence.""Mia’s mother’s surname is Crawford," Amelia said casually. "She’s already in

Mr. Hart had never seen a young person with such a thick skin before.When he got home, he was definitely going to beat his grandson!What kind of friends was he making?!(Denis: Achoo! The weather dropped just like that. Guess it’s time to ask Grandpa for some money to buy a down jacket.)Denis had no idea that his so-called "fairy-like" Mia had just put on an entire tea ceremony performance for his grandfather in front of everyone.Given Mr. Hart’s status, it was beneath him to continue engaging with her.Pushing the issue further would be undignified.Mia had bet on this.Mr. Hart was a respected elder in the medical field, a man of scholarly integrity.In this situation, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to argue with her.That’s why she played this card.But she miscalculated one thing—And that was Amelia.It didn’t matter what kind of tea tactics Mia tried—Amelia could spill the tea right back."So, according to you, you were 'forced' to become Evelyn’s apprentice?"

After all, even with Mia’s impressive acupuncture skills, there were still illnesses she couldn’t treat.Sometimes, she even made mistakes.The only explanation Dave could come up with was that his old friend was exaggerating to help his disciple transfer schools.Thinking himself witty, he said, “Peter, you want to promote the younger generation, but you don’t have to go as far as giving her the credit.”"Give her credit? Secretary Frank is right here. Do you think I could just 'give' credit like that?"Mr. Hart remained upright and righteous as he turned to Mia, who was deliberately trying to lower her presence."Your student once apprenticed under Evelyn Adler. She should know exactly who saved Mr. Cromwell."Mr. Hart had never intended to put a junior on the spot.That’s why, when he first saw Mia, he had said nothing.But every single word she spoke was aimed at stepping on Amelia, belittling her as if she was worthless.He could no longer tolerate it."Amelia had the highest lev

"Secretary Frank, it’s really been a long time! The last time we met was in Mr. Cromwell’s office."Dave’s attempt to curry favor was blatantly obvious.But Secretary Frank didn’t extend his hand, only giving him a brief glance.Dave didn’t mind the cold attitude, instead eagerly trying to find a topic of conversation. "So, what brings you here?""I’m here to pick up Peter." After deciphering Amelia’s silent cue, Secretary Frank ignored the old scholar and walked straight to Mr. Hart. "Peter, Mr. Cromwell knew you were meeting an old friend today, so he specifically instructed me not to show up too early. He wanted you to finish your business first before bringing you to the Cromwell estate. Ever since parting ways in LA, Mr. Cromwell has been thinking about you."The moment these words fell—The entire room went dead silent.Secretary Frank’s demeanor was like an invisible slap, landing hard on their faces.Dave visibly stiffened.Those who had been loudly accusing Amelia and Mr. Har

"Time really spares no one, huh? Even the rule-abiding Peter finds himself in a difficult spot now."The elderly scholar patted Mr. Hart on the shoulder."Peter, we’re both getting on in years. My memory isn’t what it used to be—I completely forgot we had an appointment. And honestly, this isn’t the right place to discuss your junior’s school transfer.""Transfer?" Mia feigned surprise. "Mr. Hart, Sister’s grades wouldn’t allow for a transfer, would they? Hasn’t she always studied at your vocational school?"As soon as she said this, many scholars turned to look their way.The elderly scholar made no move to stop her.Mr. Hart instantly understood what was happening, and his heart sank.Before coming here, he had reassured Amelia that everything would be fine.But now, even an old friend had become unrecognizable.Amelia, ever perceptive, knew that anything Mr. Hart said now would only invite further ridicule.

At the Special Cases Meeting—Several investigators were reviewing Rowan on the screen."Boss sent this guy?""Yeah, Boss said he’s special and could help with the case.""When is Boss coming back?""After stabilizing their studies.""Their studies? You’re joking, right? What does Boss need school for?""Don’t believe me? See for yourself."The room fell into silence as everyone stared at the chat logs.What kind of force could actually make their Boss go to school?No need to ask—the answer was social obligations.Meanwhile, Amelia had been waiting at the bookstore near the school with Mr. Hart.Their appointment was for 2 PM. It was already 4 PM, yet the other party still hadn’t shown up.Mr. Hart had finished his tea and was about to send a follow-up message when a group of scholarly-looking individuals entered.One elderly man at the front chuckled, "I must say, I’m very pleased with my student.
