"You don't have to worry about my studies," Amelia gently pushed the old lady forward. "Just focus on your health and listen to Elijah. Don't eat too many sweets."

Mrs. Milton muttered, "How can I not study? I heard the girl who was brought back has excellent grades."

"That's great, Grandma's granddaughter, just like you, smart," Amelia smiled lightly.

Mrs. Milton looked up. "What about you? What will you do in the future?"

"I'll make money. I won’t starve," Amelia said, taking off the old lady’s socks and shoes. "Elijah, the medicine tub."

Elijah immediately responded with a sharp nod. "Mmm!"

With great strength, he lifted the medicine tub and hurried off, quickly filling it with water and returning at full speed.

He seemed to have boundless energy.

Amelia, used to it by now, didn’t comment further.

Mrs. Milton chuckled. "This Elijah, he’s all strength and no sense. The other day, our neighbor bought a pair of stone lions. He couldn’t get them down no matter what, but Elijah just pic

    Children have no sense of good and evil. Elijah, born with an inherently sinister appearance, was abandoned by his parents and didn’t understand what he should or shouldn’t do.Rather than saying that Mrs. Milton took him in, it would be more accurate to say that he was convinced by Amelia and stayed in the traditional medicine shop.Over the past three years, after being around herbs for so long, his appearance had improved significantly. He looked fair, clean, and harmless. However, there is an old saying that chaos is born from evil… anyone who caught his eye would end up shedding a layer of skin.Amelia sat in the small courtyard, her fingers still idly playing with a locust flower, her smile calm and unhurried.Late at night, at the Adler family’s old residence, Madam Adler was still lying in bed, recovering from the shock she had suffered.A number of medical students had gathered downstairs, most of them being apprentices Madam Adler had taken in. They were eager to show their

    Madam Adler clearly misunderstood. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at the medical book. "Mary, you really can be trusted with matters like this. With these two items, curing Young Master Jenkins’s illness is just a matter of time!""Really?" Mary was overjoyed. "When can we meet Young Master Jenkins? I mean, Madam Adler, could you take me to meet him? You know, the Jenkins family only invites medical families. Neither our Milton family nor the Crawford family has any connections in this area."Now that she had the the Heart Herb, Madam Adler’s energy seemed to wane. "Of course, we all have to go. Once we cure Young Master Jenkins, I will personally recommend you to the Jenkins family."Mary, hearing this, became even more excited and rushed to flatter Madam Adler.Mia, however, stood aside, not saying much, with her head lowered, lost in her own thoughts.Madam Adler didn’t care about her intentions. After all, it was just a missed opportunity with the Cromwell family. Once they cured

    Amelia lifted her gaze, following the sound.On the hospital bed, Grandpa Cromwell had already woken up. His eyes didn’t have the weariness typical of old age, but instead carried a calm, composed air.It was the aura of someone who had weathered the ups and downs of the business world—a presence not everyone could possess.Even though he was still recovering, his tone revealed a subtle authority. In terms of temperament, even ten Jacksons would likely fall short compared to this elderly man.Although Grandpa Cromwell wasn’t fully healed, his composure was evident, and his sharp gaze softened when it landed on Amelia.Aside from Grandpa Cromwell, the handsome patient from yesterday was also present.He was sitting at the bedside, his long legs crossed, not wearing a suit, giving off an air of sickly beauty. His hands rested on his knees, slender and pale, with pronounced joints.It seemed like he was playing chess with Grandpa Cromwell, and upon seeing Amelia, he slightly curled his l

    When Carl referred to "being one of us," Grandpa Cromwell found it quite strange. "Since when did you start considering anyone one of your own?""Grandpa Cromwell, right now, just like you, my life is in the little miracle doctor's hands." Carl flicked his sleeve with a nonchalant gesture. "Naturally, I must know my place."Grandpa Cromwell couldn't tell if he was being sincere or not.This young man from the Jenkins family was always secretive and elusive. On the surface, he appeared frail and sickly, but in reality, he had many hidden depths.Grandpa Cromwell had also considered whether his decision to arrange a marriage between Carl and Little Seven years ago had been right.To be honest, the boy was flawless in appearance—none of the young women in their circle could resist him.But no matter what, he couldn’t give up on his own Little Seven. He couldn’t allow this young man to back out of the marriage!"So, does that mean your illness can be cured?" Grandpa Cromwell snorted coldl

    "Detox points," Amelia explained.Unlike in emergency situations, today she had only inserted three needles into Grandpa Cromwell, each one leaving him feeling unfulfilled, as though there was more to come. The sensation was extraordinary!It felt as though his entire body, once clogged and sluggish, had been cleared out. He felt younger, lighter, and more energized than he had in years!Grandpa Cromwell looked at her with newfound respect. "Truly, a genius among the young! Little miracle doctor, you're still so young and already possess such skill. Chinese medicine will never decline with talents like you rising.""That's thanks to the elders at home," Amelia replied, placing her palm on his back. As she spoke, her hand gently pressed down.Before Grandpa Cromwell could react, he heard a muffled crack."This... Is this... bone setting?" He turned his gaze to her, puzzled.Amelia nodded. "Yes. When I inserted the needles earlier, I noticed a slight protrusion in your thoracic vertebra

    What Amelia didn’t know was that after her older brother’s visit yesterday, he had spread the word about her “poverty” to everyone, and now everyone knew.She raised an eyebrow in confusion at Carl. "I haven’t even treated you yet, so why would I accept a fee?"“The medicinal candy from yesterday,” Carl said, signaling to James to step forward.James had been meaning to ask when the little miracle doctor would treat their young master. He raised his hands, holding out another card—this one black, with gold embossing. "Little miracle doctor.""I’ll accept it after I treat your young master," Amelia said, packing away her medical kit.James thought she was about to leave. "Little miracle doctor, what are you doing?""Packing up," Amelia replied, puzzled. "What’s the matter?"James blushed. "You haven’t treated our young master yet.""He?" Amelia walked up to Carl. "Are you in a hurry?"Carl’s voice was soft and pleasant, "I’m watching you."Amelia hummed thoughtfully, then said, "Alrigh

    The interior of the medicine shop looked much more reliable than its exterior.At first, James had worried that the place might be too dirty for their young master to even get treated. But now, looking around, he saw the clean, traditional layout—very much in the Chinese style. The central focus was a wooden medicine cabinet, and the space had an air of an old Beijing courtyard house, much like the apothecaries from ancient times.Carl, with his calm, indifferent gaze, scanned the surroundings, his eyes falling on a piece of calligraphy and painting. His fingers absentmindedly twirled the Buddhist beads around his wrist.Noticing his focus, Amelia walked over. “It’s a fake.”“Otherwise, would it be real?” Carl raised an eyebrow, an amused smile playing on his lips.Amelia’s eyes glimmered with mirth. “What if it is?”Carl didn’t speak further, continuing to gaze at the painting. His pupils deepened as he studied the image.The painting depicted a towering pine tree casting shade, with

    "Don't speak too much." Carl lowered his voice, his expression still strikingly handsome.Lady Milton pushed the wheelchair closer and said to Carl and the others, "Amelia is bringing friends to the clinic for the first time. You kids have fun, there's tea brewed in the yard. If you're having trouble with digestion, drink some more. I’ll go out to buy shrimp for you all to eat."Lady Milton had a sharp eye for people. She could tell that this young man was not ordinary and might not even be a true friend of Amelia's, but seeing her granddaughter bring someone to her home made her happy nonetheless.In the past, Amelia wasn’t fond of the medicine clinic. She used to say that if she stayed there too long, the smell of Chinese medicine would cling to her, and her classmates would laugh at her. She wouldn’t even stay for meals, sneaking around to visit Lady Milton, afraid of being scolded by Mary when she returned home.Lady Milton understood that even though she had raised Amelia, the ch

    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.

    Amelia had put real force into that kick.Jackson lay curled up on the ground, his mouth full of blood.Mary, terrified, didn’t dare say a word. Her face turned pale.Amelia’s eyes glinted with hostility as she bent down and yanked him up. Her voice was low, but her tone was cold. “I never wanted to lay a hand on anyone in front of Grandma, but someone like you really deserves a beating.”Jackson shrank back, looking toward Victoria. “Mom, do something! Mom!”“Now you call me ‘Mom’?” Amelia’s eyes turned crimson as she lifted his face. “When you kicked Grandma out, why didn’t you remember I was your mother?”*Boom!*Amelia kicked him again, her aura so fierce that it frightened everyone in the alley.She had been suppressing herself for too long, always pretending to be something she wasn’t.She was never a good person, and now, tha

    Jackson instinctively glanced behind Amelia, wondering why Mr. Lee wasn’t there.Amelia smiled nonchalantly. "Looking for someone?"Jackson feigned a hypocritical smile. "Amelia, there’s been a misunderstanding between us.""What misunderstanding?" Amelia's lips curled slightly. "Is it the misunderstanding where you almost killed me, or the one where you wanted me to go back to the countryside?"The onlookers started murmuring, shocked by their behavior. "Is this how parents treat their children?"Mary could no longer tolerate the gossip from the neighborhood women and exploded. "She’s not even our biological daughter! What else do you want from us? Should we just pamper her? She's like a sticky plaster that can’t be shaken off!"When Jackson saw how she was acting, he realized things were going south and quickly pulled her back."Don’t say anything more," Jackson said, warning her with a look. "Don&rsquo

    “Of course, I didn’t say anything!” The middle-aged woman stood on the hillside, looking around cautiously. Her voice now carried a sense of wariness. “Didn’t you tell us before you left, not to share any information about you two with anyone?”Mia squinted her eyes. “What if they offer money to make you speak?”“We took their money.” The middle-aged woman smirked strangely. “But we gave them false information. Anyway, there’s someone else paying, and they don’t want anyone to find her.”Only then did Mia completely relax with a sigh of relief. “Mom, you did the right thing.”The middle-aged woman wasn’t just anyone—she was Grace, the woman who had swapped the babies all those years ago.It had been so long since Grace had heard “Mom” from Mia that tears started welling up in her eyes. “Mia, your dad and I have been doing wh

    Even if she hadn’t lent the money, this live stream should be hers!With that thought in mind, Mary stood up, deciding she couldn’t stay at the massage session any longer.At that exact moment, Jackson called her, urging her to come home quickly. He was still living in a dream, happily recounting what had happened today.Mary ground her teeth, her heart filled with resentment. “I should’ve slashed her face when she left!”Jackson furrowed his brow. “I told you, I just want you to spend more time with the old lady. If she’s happy, she’ll surely have that girl speak well of us.”“She's so easy, even flirting with old men in her livestream,” Mary sneered. “No wonder she’s getting so many donations. It must be from Mr. Lee.”Now it made sense. Otherwise, she would have truly thought that girl had some kind of amazing skill, relying on her medical knowledge to mak

    Mrs. LuLu, playing the mediator, interjected, “Look at this new fund I bought—hasn’t shown any increase. Wasn’t Wilson Group supposed to invest in the medical field? Why haven’t we heard anything? This Mr. Lee is probably just pulling a smokescreen.”“Have you met Mr. Lee?” Mary straightened up immediately, not forgetting her main purpose for being here. “Did he say anything?”Mrs. Ernst laughed. “Do you think we can just meet him anytime we want? Even Old Ye can’t meet him so easily.”Mary sneered. “Our family has already been working with Wilson Group. Mr. Lee’s assistant, Ken, has been a friend of my husband for years. It shouldn’t be hard to meet him.”Mrs. Ernst didn’t bother responding to her, dismissing her words as mere boasting.Mary was about to say more when Mrs. LuLu, still looking at her phone, suddenly exclaimed, “Harmony
