“You are?” the Cromwell family’s doctor turned around at the voice.

A young girl stood before him, her long black hair cascading down, biting into a piece of fruit candy. She looked quite young, but her face was so strikingly beautiful that it was hard to ignore. Her demeanor was cool, yet elegant, and a mole at the corner of her eye gave her an almost ethereal charm. Her deep, dark eyes seemed to exude a quiet but powerful presence, making anyone she looked at feel a subtle pressure.

Manager Monroe quickly spoke up, “Steven, this is the little miracle doctor I brought…”

“Nonsense!”

Before Manager Monroe could finish, a sharp reprimand cut him off.

“You greedy little girl again.” The voice of Evelyn Adler came as she slowly entered the room. Her gaze swept over Amelia, and her expression darkened. “So, you’re here to scam people because you can’t get paid, huh?”

She shouted, “Who let this person in? Was there no one to check on them?”

Hearing her shout, the attending doctor rushed ove

    "Do you really know medicine?"The tone was filled with shock.Evelyn Adler sneered. "Dr. Hart, it seems you're confused as well. What does this little girl know about medicine? She must have heard the symptoms from some nurse.""Dr.Adler, this young lady just arrived, and we haven’t had a chance to speak with her yet," a nurse quickly explained.Evelyn Adler glared at them. "So what? How old is she? She probably hasn’t even finished school! Does she have a medical license to be treating people?"**Smack.**Without saying another word, Amelia slammed her medical license down onto the seat. Not only that, but her medical license was for a **chief physician**—a prestigious level!Anyone who had studied medicine knew how difficult it was to achieve the rank of a chief physician.Now, who would dare say she was unqualified?The sound of the slap was like a sharp slap to Evelyn Adler's face.The doctors and nurses were stunned, unable to believe it. "Chief physician? Isn’t that the equival

    Evelyn Adler sneered, "What a fuss. She’s just from the countryside, of course, she’s familiar with the symptoms of insect bites. She’s just tricking all of you. Let her try using a scalpel and see how well she does!"Amelia didn’t reach for a scalpel. Instead, she took out a set of silver needles from her medical box.Those who had been anticipating Amelia's skills suddenly slumped, their faces filled with disappointment."Acupuncture? For such a serious illness, she’s going to use needles?""She’s taking this too lightly!""Maybe she can’t even use a scalpel. Why did Dr. Hart trust a little girl? This is going to be a disaster."Evelyn Adler grinned maliciously. "I told you, she’s just pretending. She doesn’t have any real skills. Maybe that license is even fake.""Dr. Adler is right," someone chimed in. "How can there be such a young chief physician?""Could she really be a fraud?"As people began to murmur, Amelia calmly lifted her hand and swiftly inserted the first needle!The n

    The moment he stepped into the elevator, the air around him seemed to drop to its lowest point.When he wasn’t looking at anyone, he resembled a serene Buddhist monk. But when his gaze fell on someone, it was dangerous and demonic.“Go on, speak,” he said coldly.The hospital director wiped the sweat from his forehead and nervously called out, “Young Master Jenkins, don’t worry. Our Dr. Adler is an expert in this field. With her treating Mr. Cromwell, there’s absolutely no problem!”The person who could make so many important figures nervous wasn’t anyone else but Carl, the head of the Jenkins family.Carl casually twirled the Buddhist beads on his wrist, raising an eyebrow slightly. “That’s not what I’ve heard.”“Y... Young Master Jenkins, we— we haven’t lied to you.” The vice director was now stuttering. “We wouldn’t dare delay Mr. Cromwell’s condition. After all, that’s the Cromwell family!”Carl didn’t speak further but stood tall and straight, waiting for the elevator to reach th

    By pure coincidence, no one looked away.Especially Amelia, whose gaze remained clear and unwavering, still fixed on the man's face.As a fan of handsome men, Amelia had seen many in her time, but none could compare to the man before her.His sickly pale complexion was perfectly complemented by a pair of deep, phoenix eyes that seemed endless, carrying a natural coldness in his gaze. He had the kind of air that suggested both nobility and fragility, a rare combination.Despite the noise and bustle around the hospital, it seemed to have no effect on him at all. He stood there like a noble young master from ancient times, as delicate as jade.Amelia noticed that the portly Manager Monroe immediately ran up to the man the moment he saw him, greeting him enthusiastically and saying something with great excitement.Though Amelia couldn’t hear their conversation through the medical glass, she raised an eyebrow, intrigued.The next moment, the man’s gaze shifted toward her, and the dim yello

    No way…Director Luke’s eyes widened.Could she really be choosing Carl as her live subject?How could she dare? Is she throwing her life away at such a young age?Director Luke moved slightly, trying to make himself more noticeable, “Well, how about you choose someone else…”Before he could finish his sentence, Amelia had already stepped forward, walking right up to the man.It was only then that Director Luke realized that the young girl was actually taller than him!Amelia, with her slim waist and long legs, stood at 173 cm, her enchanting eyes framed by a cold, refined beauty. Standing next to the 188 cm tall Carl, the atmosphere between them felt strangely ambiguous.The contrast between their auras was stark—one cool and distant, the other fiery and intense—like a Buddhist monk meeting a seductive demon from the mortal world.Carl, dressed in pristine clothes, stood perfectly still. As Amelia approached, a chill appeared in his eyes, like the twilight’s cool breeze.Amelia halte

    Manager Monroe dared not continue his thoughts. The person in question was someone he had brought here, and moreover, the little miracle doctor was the savior of the Cromwell family. He could not watch her bring about her own downfall!"The little miracle doctor might not be very good at Chinese, and her choice of words might be a bit lacking, hehe... hehe..." Manager Monroe raised his head to look at Carl, his eyes pleading for mercy. "You wouldn't mind, would you?"Carl, a man of few words, gave a faint, indifferent "Mm."Amelia raised an eyebrow, confused. "Manager Monroe seems so nervous. Did I describe something wrong?""No problem," Carl suddenly smiled, a chilling, seductive smile that made it hard to know if it was a blessing or a curse. "Your description is quite accurate."Amelia's clear eyes shone with understanding. "It’s always the good-looking ones who know how to speak."With that, she turned her head to look at the doctors who had returned to their positions.Just a mo

    It felt like something was about to burst out, a heat rising from the outside in, as if something inside him was being crushed and pulled apart.Unable to stop himself, Carl unconsciously moved his Adam’s apple. Standing in the shifting light, the movement looked almost too seductive, a rare sight for him.Everyone in New York city knew that Carl was the embodiment of restraint. He was known for his ascetic lifestyle—he didn’t even touch meat, living on a vegetarian diet year-round. His air of noble detachment was something that no one had ever been able to break.Now, with his shirt half-open and his hair tousled, even Manager Monroe couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.The little miracle doctor had really gone and provoked Carl this time.Having worked closely with Mr. Cromwell for so long, and knowing that the Cromwell and Jenkins families had deep ties, Manager Monroe was familiar with Carl’s regular visits to the Cromwell family mansion, mostly to discuss breaking o

    As soon as Amelia spoke, the room fell silent.Carl stared at her intently, his deep eyes reflecting the soft glow of the lamps around them, exuding an air of noble detachment.The doctors were unaware of Carl's identity, but being medical professionals, they knew one thing for sure: when it came to Traditional medicine, the most worrying sign was when a doctor frowned while feeling a patient's pulse.Amelia, who had been smiling moments ago, now wore a calm expression. Her brow furrowed slightly, and her eyes were fixed with focused concentration. She looked completely serious, not at all like someone joking around.Could it be that what the little miracle doctor said was true? Was this man really dying?His face did seem a little pale, but surely it couldn’t be that serious.The doctors all turned their eyes to him, their concern growing.Director Luke and the vice-director exchanged glances and immediately waved for the others to leave.Manager Monroe’s heart skipped a beat, and he

    “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

    The scene of two people who were evenly matched yet strangely well-matched left Smith speechless, unable to say a single word.He had been following his boss for so many years and had never seen anyone break through the cold, aloof barrier that surrounded him.But then, this girl came along. No soft words or sweet talk, just a low laugh mixed with beauty, and she wasn't afraid of their boss at all. She even mocked his calligraphy.She probably had never seen their boss covered in blood, cold and violent.Every time the boss dealt with someone, even those who followed him trembled in fear.But the boss always acted with reason, rewarding or punishing according to the situation.Still, there had never been anyone brave enough to get close to him like this.Amelia didn’t invite them to stay for dinner because she could clearly see the exhaustion on the man’s handsome face.Instead, she prepared some mushroom and vegeta

    *Thump, thump, thump...*The sound was deep and steady, completely different from his frail body.Who would have imagined that this was the heartbeat of someone whose life was believed to be short-lived?It was as if his outwardly perfect appearance mattered less than the heart within.Amelia stopped in her tracks, raising her eyes slightly.The man withdrew his hand, seemingly lost in thought, his lips curling into a faint smile. But the next moment, he turned and started coughing. His pale lips almost blended with his skin, and his weak appearance only served to add to his dangerous allure. "Grandmother agreed.""Agreed?" Amelia was about to ask what he meant.The man turned and walked briskly, his suit sharp and his back as striking as a work of art.Amelia followed, thinking he was leaving.But then, he suddenly stopped.Caught off guard, Amelia's nose bumped into his back—hard and cold, and all she coul

    Perhaps the tea had been steeped for too long, leaving a lingering bitterness on her tongue, and the flavor hung in her throat, refusing to dissipate.It was hard to imagine that someone like her had ever called anyone "older brother" when she was little.Carl seemed to smile faintly. There was nothing unusual in his expression, but his dark eyes were deep and distant. His demeanor remained impeccable as he spoke politely, "Grandmother, my family is not that complicated, and no one can control me. The person I choose will not be made to suffer.""With that said, I can rest easy," the old lady replied, finally sighing in relief. She knew that these two must be hiding something from her, but as long as the bigger picture was fine, she had no objections.Carl didn't end the topic there. He remained calm and composed, refilling the old lady’s tea, his gaze moving through the window frame, landing on the busy figure of the girl inside.She wore bl

    Smith wasn’t stupid; he realized he had been led into a trap. Puffing up his cheeks, he muttered, “The boss treats us really well too!”“Really?” Amelia raised an eyebrow slightly, disappointed. She had hoped to extract some useful information, but it seemed that while this Frenchman was a chatterbox, he was quick to catch on.Smith nodded seriously. “The boss has no flaws!”“Oh?” Amelia’s eyes flicked with interest. “But just a moment ago, you said I’d be the one getting hurt.”Smith froze, his scalp tingling. “That was all nonsense! I can tell the boss is very serious about you. He definitely won’t let you down. Even if your backgrounds are different, it doesn’t matter!”“Oh?” Amelia absently played with the abacus in her hand, smiling without much thought. “Too bad, though. I’m just pretending with your boss. How could yo

    The voice in her ear was like fine wine going down her throat, making her feel tipsy and entranced.His hands, unlike the rest of him, exuded an unexpected heat, as though they were burning her skin.From Amelia's position, she couldn't see his face, but she could feel his breath on the back of her neck, sending a tingling sensation down her spine.He didn't smoke, so there was no trace of tobacco on him. But perhaps due to his frequent use of medication, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted from him, almost hypnotic.She often smelled medicine, but it seemed that only his scent was strangely pleasant.His hand still gripped hers, and as his body leaned slightly down, his presence became even stronger, impossible to ignore.Amelia's heart jolted, a sensation both unfamiliar and vaguely familiar, something she couldn't quite place.She raised an eyebrow, about to push him away.But before she could, he released her hand first, his

    “You can get it for free, but others can’t…”Before, the man’s lips were cold, but now there was a hint of a smile.“Won’t,” Carl, who was usually a high-and-mighty figure in the capital city, the domineering Mr. Jenkins , spoke casually, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated significantly. “Smith, pay up.”Smith, realizing what was happening, quickly pulled out his bank card, still a bit flustered.“Give more.” Carl’s voice was light, though it still carried the unshakable aura of someone who had long been in a powerful position.Amelia glanced at him, then turned her attention to the obedient Smith. “Friend?”Carl didn’t hide anything. “Colleague from the branch office.”“Right! Colleague!” Smith straightened up and corrected his posture.Amelia didn’t seem to care much. “We don’t accept

    “Mm, I agreed.” Amelia’s posture was lazy, not at all bothered by his question.However, Carl subtly furrowed his brows. He wanted to invest, but she refused. Yet she accepted that anonymous Mr. Lee’s offer…Carl seemed to smile slightly, bending closer to her. The coolness of his aura, mixed with a hint of medicinal fragrance, drifted into Amelia’s nostrils. As the weather turned cooler, his presence also felt colder. “Why didn’t you choose me?”Amelia raised her eyes, confusion in her gaze, yet she offered a reasonable explanation. “Wilson Group is planning to invest in the pharmaceutical industry. After discussing it, everything seemed to align. The Cromwell family’s business is mostly overseas, and it’s not suitable for traditional medicine.”Her explanation sounded flawless.But Carl’s smile deepened, his eyes still devoid of warmth. His fingers idly toyed wit

    If she wanted to ruin someone online, Mary had plenty of ways to do it!Carl slowly glanced at James, then turned his attention back to the scene.As the top bodyguard, James immediately understood that Mr. Jenkins wanted him to follow Mary.But Amelia subtly blocked his way, smiling gently. "Grandma said to let them go."James hesitated and raised his head.“Listen to her,” Carl’s voice was calm, as if this was the most normal thing in the world.Smith was absolutely shocked. When had Mr. Jenkins ever listened to someone else’s words?Who was this young lady? What was her background?!Amelia, biting a fruit candy, her long black hair flowing, casually responded, “We should give people a chance to change their ways. I’m quite magnanimous.”“Oh?” Carl raised an eyebrow, his fingers twirling the beads on his wrist, clearly skeptical of her statement.
