“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

    "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?" Amelia smi

    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. She spoke up herself:"Mr. Hart, out of old friendship, you turned down an

    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.
