"Boss really has an eye for this! I’ll prepare the payment account for the Jenkins family right away!"
Amelia's eyes were calm. "No rush, I’ll take a nap first, and deal with it tomorrow."
Amelia’s biggest interest, besides making money, was treating all kinds of difficult and mysterious illnesses.
A job like the Jenkins family’s was quite a good one.
In fact, when it came to handling this case, Amelia was probably the only one in LA who could do it with a calm mind.
Right now, it seemed like all the prominent families in LA were in a hurry.
For instance, the Milton family had been pulling strings everywhere, trying to get their hands on a letter of invitation from the Jenkins family.
Rumors were even circulating in the streets, claiming that LA had never been this lively in a long time.
First, the richest man in New York was looking for his granddaughter, and then the Jenkins family came to visit for a consultation.
Some gossip even suggested that the Jenkins family came to LA because the legendary "Miracle Doctor" had appeared here.
There were many rumors about this "Miracle Doctor," but no one could tell if they were true.
But with the Jenkins family’s invitation, it was possible that the "Miracle Doctor" would really make an appearance…
************
The next day, in the retirement community.
Amelia was still late getting up, just like any other working person. On hot mornings, she never wanted to leave the cool little house or the soft bed.
But, there was no choice—she had to make money.
Amelia washed her face, went out with no makeup, grabbed her bag, and in order to avoid traffic during rush hour, she picked up a bicycle.
"Amelia, you’re heading out?"
"Mm... yeah."
Along the way, she greeted people here and there, casually munching on bread sticks that Uncle Lee had given her. She pedaled slowly, soon blending into the flow of traffic.
Half an hour later, at the famous Caesar Hotel in LA.
The lobby and the outdoor area were both packed, no one had time to spare.
These past few days, it seemed like every luxury car in LA had gathered here.
Compared to all these fancy vehicles, Amelia riding in on her bike stood out in a striking way.
So much so that, before she could even stop, the security guard came over and shooed her away.
“Hey, hey, hey, what’s this poor student doing here? We’re not open to the public today.”
Amelia stopped the bike with one leg, her gaze meeting his. Her tone was calm. "I’m here to save someone."
“You? Save someone?" The security guard burst into laughter. "I say, little girl, you're young, but quite the bragger, aren't you?"
Amelia thought for a moment, then pulled out her phone and opened the order page. “Please go tell the people inside, ‘The Miracle Doctor is here, invited.’”
“The Miracle Doctor? I’m the doctor here!” The security guard waved her off with a dismissive glance. “I’ve seen plenty of invitations, but I’ve never seen someone show up with their phone like that…” As he spoke, a luxury car drove in, and he eagerly waved at it. "Go on, get out of the way, don’t block the road."
After that, he hurried to open the door for the luxury car. “Ms.Adler, Miss Milton, you’re here! Let me go inside and prepare tea for you right away.”
The people in the car just nodded through the window, without a word in response.
The security guard, however, seemed as though he had won a great prize.
As the luxury car drove past, the young woman inside the car seemed to recognize Amelia. Her delicate, pale face showed hesitation.
The elderly man asked, “Mia, what’s wrong?”
She smiled lightly, “Nothing.”
Outside the car, Amelia walked away with a calm expression, her movements decisive. There was even a hint of amusement at the corners of her lips.
Who would have thought that she, who had once been able to decide life and death with a single needle, was now so easily looked down upon?
When a tiger fell on the ground, even dogs dare to bully it. Amelia curled her lips.
She always believed that medicine was about fate, and she would never treat those who were driven by profit.
As for today’s consultation, she had already decided to let it go.
Amelia took out her phone and was about to send a message rejecting the order.
But suddenly, from the street, a loud scream pierced the air!
“Not good, someone has fainted!”
Instantly, a crowd gathered around.
“Oh my god, it’s a child!”
“His face is so pale…”
Hearing the commotion, Amelia didn’t hesitate. She parked her bike and walked quickly toward the crowd.
Lying on the ground was a little boy, around three or four years old. His forehead was drenched in sweat, clearly from exertion.
Someone grabbed a guy in a white coat and shouted, “Young man, you must be a doctor, please save this child!”
“No, no,” the young man in the white coat shook his head, a look of disdain in his eyes. “His family isn’t here. I can’t act on my own.”
He added, “Besides, I don’t treat just anyone.”
Seeing this, Amelia stepped forward, pushing through the crowd. Her voice was cold and her tone professional. “Please step aside, let the air in. The patient needs ventilation.”
Her presence was so commanding that the onlookers didn’t question her and stepped aside without a word.
When Amelia crouched down and placed her fingers on the little boy’s neck, an elderly woman nearby grew anxious.
“Little girl, you’re so young, are you sure you can handle this?”
"That's right, little girl, you should call 911 first. This child seems to have wandered off. I’ve been shouting for a while, but no one’s come." The old man was also advising her, worried that she’d be held responsible if anything went wrong. Amelia swiftly unbuttoned the boy's suit and moved him to a shaded spot. "Guys, don’t worry, I have a medical license." She pulled her bag and revealed a foldable medical kit. Opening it, rows of silver needles and surgical scalpels—long and short—were neatly arranged inside. Amelia checked the boy’s pulse again. "Stop!" The man in the white coat couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted, "How can you randomly insert needles into a patient!" Amelia ignored him, keeping her focus on the boy, counting his pulse and heart rate. The young man sneered, "I’m Oliver, a student from The Capital Medical University, under the tutelage of Dr.Adler. I’m not some ordinary person. You say you have a medical license? How old are you?" Amelia remaine
The first needle landed with a sharp *thwack*.The little boy immediately furrowed his brow, and amidst his struggle, it seemed he regained some consciousness, his small brow furrowed tightly.The crowd gasped. “He’s waking up!”Oliver froze, his face turning a mix of pale and green. "How is this possible…?"How did she do it?Just one needle? And the boy regained consciousness?The boy opened his eyes. His dark, round eyes were shiny and clear, his lashes long and delicate. He stared at Amelia quietly, his little face pale.Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.The elderly woman could hardly believe it. "Little girl, you just casually gave him one needle, and he’s better already?"Amelia gently pressed on the site, checking the blood flow. Once it was enough, she used a cotton swab to press and stop the bleeding. "It’s not just casually sticking in needles. The specific acupoint and fingertip have the function of clearing heat and opening the orifices. His condition is heatstroke
Zhang Long, who had always looked down on ordinary people, didn’t realize that the moment Amelia lifted her gaze, the corners of her eyes changed.Arrogance, aggressiveness, and ruthless coldness.She casually played with the candy in her hand, then flicked her finger sharply.Bang!Zhang Long’s knees buckled, and he fell heavily to the ground!“Ah!” The sharp pain made his face scrunch in agony.Zhang Long struggled to get up, but he felt as if his entire body had become stiff. His words were trapped, and his hands couldn’t move.It felt as if he had been pressure-pointed?Amelia walked up to him, her voice calm: “As a medical student, you can’t even perform the most basic of diagnostic steps—observation, listening, asking, and palpation—and yet you make judgments? Being a doctor is not about elevating yourself above others; it’s about using your skills to save lives. You have poor medical skills, and even worse ethics. I accept your bow today, as a lesson for your master.”“You—!” Z
People couldn’t help but murmur and discuss among themselves.“I heard everyone coming to the Caesar today is someone influential, from prominent medical families.”“Then what about this child…”Amelia wasn’t surprised by the conversation. After all, the boy was dressed well, and even his wristwatch was worth a lot.“Next time, remember to bring a bodyguard.” Amelia advised, packing up her medical kit.The boy, seeing she was about to leave, suddenly hugged her leg.Amelia couldn’t ride her bike anymore so she looked down at him.The boy didn’t say a word, just tugged at her sleeve.Every time Amelia took a step, he followed.This couldn’t continue like this.Amelia stopped walking. “I’ll take you home.”“Okay!” The boy nodded eagerly, his eyes shining. “I’ll make sure my family thanks you properly.”Amelia adjusted his sleeve. “There’s no need for thanks. I don’t accept payment from children.”“Then…” The boy’s eyes rolled as he thought. “Big sis, do you have a boyfriend?”Amelia str
As for what he looked like, Amelia didn’t see, but as a doctor, she was very sensitive to the scents of medicinal herbs.The moment the car window rolled down, she immediately smelled a faint herbal fragrance…Having studied " Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine" extensively, Amelia knew that people who had been ill for a long time were likely to be light-sensitive.Jerry urged, “Master Jenkins, would you like to go see boss first?”The boy, distracted, turned to Amelia. “Wait for me here, don’t run off. I’ll be back soon.”Amelia nodded.The boy hurriedly ran towards the car.Left behind, Jerry handed over a card. “Thank you, Miss Cromwell, for saving our young master. This is a token of appreciation. Please, accept it.”“You knew my surname? That means you must be acquainted with me.” Amelia smiled mischievously, her eyes narrowing slightly. “You don’t seem to want to thank me; rather, you seem eager to distance yourself from me.”Jerry paused for a moment. “Miss Cromwell, you misunders
“Since you knew Liam’s lifesaver, pick some gift out and send it to her.” Carl coughed lightly, his gaze falling on Jerry. His eyes were like water, deep and inscrutable. “In a few days, I’ll bring Liam to visit her myself.”Jerry broke out in a cold sweat from the weight of Carl’s gaze. He dared not meet the boss's eyes directly and quickly responded, “Yes, Boss!”That Miss Cromwell should be easy to find. After all, with the Milton family’s connections, she’d definitely give them some face.Jerry was just in his own head, not realizing that Amelia had no intention of seeing anyone from the Milton family right now. After all, that would only bring her bad luck. But the Milton family, unfortunately, was eager to close in on her.Just like now.Amelia had just dropped off the little boy and was about to ride her bike back when a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside her.“How come you're here?”It was her adoptive mother, Mary Crawford. The tone was full of disdain, so much so that s
With her long legs propped up on the bicycle, Amelia lazily observed the scene unfolding before her. Her strong presence made it impossible to ignore her.Jackson glanced at her, suppressing his frustration. He shoved the card into her hand, his voice low, “Amelia, take the money, thank us, and then leave.”Today was Mia’s day to be formally accepted as an apprentice in the medical field, and he didn’t want any distractions.Amelia had been casually leaning against her bike, her dark eyes cool and indifferent. When she heard his words, a slight smile curled on her lips.A charity handout?“Take the money and leave”?The Milton family really spared no effort in trying to paint her as a greedy, “poor relative” trying to take advantage of them.Just when everyone thought Amelia would accept the card and leave, the next moment, she tossed the card right back. The motion was crisp and decisive, fast and accurate!Everyone froze.Mary couldn’t control herself and screamed, “What are you doi
Mia continued to speak softly, “This older sister, on behalf of my mother, I apologize. Since you don’t want the money, please don’t follow the Milton family anymore. You have your own hands and feet, you can support yourself. I’m just afraid that my mother’s way of doing things might hurt your pride.”Her words were polite and appropriate, earning praise from those around them.People looked at Mia, then at Amelia, and thought there was a world of difference between them. Mia was graceful and kind, like a little fairy. Amelia, on the other hand, seemed petty, with a sinister mind.The crowd behind the elderly couple shook their heads.Seeing this, Amelia’s lips curled into a faint smile, and her clear eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything.Mia, however, avoided Amelia’s gaze. For some reason, she felt a little afraid of this “older sister” who didn’t follow the usual rules.Was she resentful because she had been kicked out of the Milton family? Was she trying to take reven
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend," Yin Loulan said, descending the stairs in a black qipao, her gaze sweeping across the room with an imposing aura.Henry gasped. "After all these years, she’s still this fierce."Amelia raised an eyebrow. "You know her?""Jenkins family’s eldest daughter, she served in the military, and now seems to be in business," Henry explained, adding, "Don’t be reckless in front of her—she could knock you out with one punch."Amelia nodded, casually biting a fruit candy, appearing harmless.Yin Loulan was strikingly beautiful with sharp features and a strong presence, evident even in her manner of speech. She had a refined, yet formidable aura."The Jenkins family has prepared a small token for everyone," she said, clapping her hands. Immediately, a gift box appeared beside each seat. Inside were ginseng, deer antlers, cordyceps, and cash!Amelia looked at the contents, her eyes gleaming with amusement.Gu Zhongguo, sitting
Amelia casually lifted a wooden chair with one hand and moved to a different spot. She sat with her legs slightly crossed, looking both beautiful and fierce. "Where did this ugly guy come from, and why’s he talking so much?"Ugly guy?!The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.Xiang Zichen’s expression was priceless. He seemed to not believe what he heard, his mouth trembling, “What did you say?”"Ugly guy," Amelia replied indifferently with a smile. "Did you hear me clearly? If not, go get your ears checked.""You—!" Xiang Zichen’s chest heaved in anger.Almost everyone’s face changed.Especially Mia. She clenched her hands, her brows furrowed.What was going on?Wasn’t she the one who liked Xiang Zichen the most? Mia had seen this woman beg for Xiang Zichen’s attention, even willing to sacrifice her life for him.And now...?Mia took a deep breath.Xiang Zichen, looking like a clown who couldn’t get off stage, spoke up, "Amelia, have you forgotten how you begged me last time to le
The person who interrupted Amelia was the late-arriving Gu Zhongguo. He had been unable to use any strength in his arms due to the girl sitting in front of him—this "dead girl" had caused him a lot of trouble!Gu Zhongguo looked at Amelia and snorted coldly, “The Hart family is really ridiculous. They’ll accept anyone to their seminar.”Henry didn’t care at all. “What does that have to do with you?”Gu Zhongguo ignored him and turned to Xiang Tiancai. “Xiang, don’t blame me for not warning you. Stop associating with these useless people. You should pay attention to who this person really is.”Xiang Tiancai, who was already annoyed by Gu Zhongguo’s arrogant attitude, retorted, “I don’t care who she is. I don’t judge my friends based on their background.”Gu Zhongguo smirked, “How stupid can you be? Not only do you not recognize any drugs, but you don’t even recognize your former cousin-in-law.” He pointed at Amelia. “This is the fake daughter of the Milton family—the one they kicked ou
The newcomer was dressed in a trendy style, with fair skin and striking features. He had a red headphone hanging around his neck, and he didn’t look like a doctor at all. He resembled someone in the rap scene instead.Without hesitation, he plopped down next to Amelia, still mumbling, "Our old man always gives me these ridiculous tasks, taking care of an old friend’s granddaughter. Like I know how to look after someone?"As he spoke, he looked Amelia up and down with an intense gaze. "Sis, you really surprised me! You’re bold, huh, even daring to reveal your background."Amelia fixed her gaze on his face for a moment, her eyes carrying an unreadable expression. "Henry?"Henry's eyes widened in surprise. Wait, the way she called him "sis" sounded so much like his boss!It must be a mistake, a mere illusion!Henry quickly checked his phone. His boss hadn't mentioned anything about attending the seminar, and the chat page still displayed that rejection message.He had known it! His wise
Mary let out an “Ah!”But Evelyn only coldly laughed. "Where would she have gotten the invitation? It was me who sent someone with it.""You sent someone?" Mia was confused.Evelyn’s headache was growing. "the Adler family had three invitations. I intended to send a fake one, but it seems Zhong Gu got confused and sent the real one by mistake.""Well, that really worked out for that little brat!" Mary was itching with frustration. "If you’d given it to me, it would’ve been much better."Evelyn was losing her patience. "I would’ve taken you in too!"Saying that, she walked up to the bodyguards and haughtily handed over the invitation.The bodyguards examined it and then stepped aside to let her pass.At last, Evelyn managed to regain some face.But her mood quickly plummeted again.Because Mary’s loud shout echoed, "Gu laoshi! Gu laoshi! They won’t let me in!"Evelyn turned around and glared at the bodyguard who was blocking her way. "What’s going on?""Ma’am, the invitation specifies
Amelia didn’t actually let the bodyguards take her bag. "No need to trouble yourselves. The things inside are for my medical work, I’ll carry it myself. You can go about your business."She still had to meet the "old friend’s grandson" her grandmother had mentioned, and being too flashy might complicate things.The bodyguards, understanding her, nodded politely. "Please, go ahead."Evelyn couldn’t watch this any longer. Her teeth clenched as she hissed, "Are you sure that invitation is real?""Yeah! Maybe you just didn’t see it right!" Mary shouted louder than anyone else.She knew very well the conditions of that girl—how could she possibly have a real invitation?Mia bit her lip and tugged at her mother's sleeve. "Mom, this is the Jenkins family."At that, Mary regained her composure and stopped arguing with the bodyguards. Her daughter was right—it was the Jenkins family; she couldn’t act recklessly.Zhang Long, however, didn’t share the same opinion. He always looked down on these
Upon hearing the word "forgery," the bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them politely said, "Miss, could you please show us your invitation?"Amelia, perceptive as ever, immediately realized there was something suspicious about the invitation. However, she wasn’t worried. If necessary, she could always reveal her true identity as a "Saint Hand."With a calm expression, Amelia casually took out the gold-embossed invitation from her black bag and handed it over.Sure enough, the bodyguards’ expressions changed dramatically when they saw it!This… this is!The crowd, observing the bodyguards' reactions, began to whisper, speculating, "Could it be that there’s something wrong with the invitation?"Zhang Long sneered with disdain. "Not only did Victoria kill people with her prescriptions, but now her disciple is a fraud as well! This is a disgrace to the medical field!"Evelyn, too, was smiling, her words dripping with arrogance. "Little girl, if you really want to go in, you could a
In the manor’s hall, people continued to arrive, and Amelia was among them. However, her attire clearly set her apart from the rest. She wore a white shirt, jeans, and a burgundy baseball cap, looking more like an unsophisticated student than someone attending a high-profile event.The security guard at the entrance raised a hand to stop her, his tone polite. "May I ask who you are?"Before Amelia could answer, a cold laugh rang out from beside her. "A quack from Traditional medicine, and she dares to show up at the Jenkins family’s event."It was Zhang Long, who was walking alongside Evelyn, with Mia and her mother following close behind. Mia’s gaze was deliberately avoiding Amelia, clearly not wanting anyone to know they had any connection.Mary, on the other hand, glared at Amelia with pure hatred. That damn girl—she really wouldn’t go away!Amelia raised an eyebrow, her voice slow and playful. "Oh, what a small world. So many familiar faces.""Who’s familiar with you?" Zhang Long
Unlike the previous banquet, this one wasn’t held in the city center but at a villa on the western outskirts.Amelia didn’t ride her battle axe motorcycle this time. After packing her medical kit and the invitation, she took a taxi.Was it just her imagination, or did this invitation seem a little different?As she sat in the taxi, Amelia was deep in thought.The driver, on hearing the destination, was visibly surprised. "The Caesar in the west suburbs isn’t a place just anyone can go. I’ve heard that only high-ranking figures are invited there today. Little lady, are you…?""Just going to get my face seen," Amelia answered with a soft smile, her long black hair flowing around her face.The driver chuckled. "I figured as much. A young lady like you certainly isn’t just going there to treat someone."Amelia smiled but said nothing.The Caesar Hotel had multiple branches, each with a different level of exclusivity.The one in the center of LA was open to the public, but the one in the w
