"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

    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.

    “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
