Elder Yin observed his grandson's handsome face. "You seem to be in a good mood?"
Carl paused, his fingers stilling on the prayer beads. "Do I?"
Elder Yin picked up his tea cup. "The house has been stolen, and you're still smiling. If that's not being in a good mood, then what is it? You brat!"
Carl knew his grandfather was still upset with him for not taking better care of his health. He poured a cup of tea. "Grandpa, James should have already told you about my recent health status... and some of the people I've met."
Elder Yin looked up, refusing to admit anything. "James is your bodyguard. Why would he tell me these details?"
"You're right, Grandpa," Carl said with a smile.
Elder Yin was truly tired of playing this game of cat-and-mouse with his grandson. The Jenkins family was known for being straightforward, except for this troublesome brat of his, who was cunning in all the wrong ways!
"Fine, just tell me—who among the peo
"Those born with an extremely noble fate, such fate is often short-lived."Elder Yin felt a twinge in his heart, but he didn’t stop his grandson. the Cromwell family’s granddaughter had yet to be found, so the decision about marriage would have to wait until they found someone. But to have such an outstanding grandson, yet not a single person to stand by him all these years…Elder Yin sighed deeply, his face showing a rare expression of guilt. "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have…""Grandpa." Carl interrupted him, his dark eyes softening with a hint of warmth. "You know I’ve never blamed you. If the Jenkins family ever needs someone to shoulder a responsibility, I’d rather it be me."Elder Yin, his hand shaking on the dragon-head cane, didn’t speak for a long time. He looked at his grandson, who seemed as clear and radiant as the wind and the moon, and sighed deeply.Everyone admired the Jenki
Mary immediately stood up, her voice loud and clear, "Mia, what's wrong? Why did you come out by yourself? Where's your teacher?"Mia grabbed her hand and lowered her voice, "Mom, let's talk later when we get back."Mary wasn't stupid. Realizing something had happened, she quickly said to the other wealthy ladies, "This child’s old anemia problem has flared up again. I need to take her back immediately."The other ladies exchanged glances.Did they think they were fools?Anemia? Could it be that Mia was eliminated in advance?Mia, understanding the situation, leaned weakly into Mary's arms, "Mom, I’m a little short of breath, but don’t worry, I haven’t embarrassed you. The consultation is over."With such a big incident, the consultation couldn't possibly continue.It had to be said that Mia was smart, able to quickly assess the situation.Within five minutes, the doors to the inner hall were wide
"I've told you so many times, that’s not your sister!"Mary seemed to be unable to tolerate having Amelia as a fake daughter any longer, her voice growing louder. "Mia, you’re still young, you don’t understand. Once a person becomes poor, they’ll find a way to stick to you. You say she’s changed? It’s just because she’s trying to make a living."Mia frowned. "But she really knows medicine, and even Old Master Yin came to see her."Mary was taken aback. "You mean the Jenkins family chose her?"Mia bit her lip. "Not exactly. She’s working with the Hart family. It’s their young master who's standing out."Mary sneered, "So she’s attached herself to the Hart family. I underestimated that poor old woman. Now, before she dies, she's willing to use her connections!"Mia's eyes flickered. "So Grandma’s medical skills really are good, right?"Mary snorted, "She’s killed pe
"Your young master?" Yun Xiao stared in surprise, his eyes widening. "Why would Young Master Jenkins want to see her?"This question made everyone still present turn back in surprise. Did they hear that correctly?Young Master Jenkins? Wanting to see that "fake young lady"?The bodyguard in black spoke curtly: "There are items belonging to the Milton family that need to be returned."Ah, so it’s just about returning something.The others exchanged glances and relaxed. It made sense—there was no way Young Master Jenkins would know a small-town "fake daughter."Henry stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Amelia. "I’m going with her."After all, he had promised to protect her, and he intended to follow through.The bodyguard in black responded stiffly: "Sorry, sir, but Young Master only invited Miss Ye.""I’m not Ye," Amelia said calmly. She pressed a button on her phone in her pocket, her
After writing, Amelia grabbed the wooden box and walked out the door.As for her handwriting, it was terrible—she didn’t care whether the recipient could read it or not.Sister Wan’s approach was all about surface etiquette.As for Young Master Jenkins… sending a gift, making it seem like he had discovered her.Amelia thought to herself that she would need to avoid this person in the future. But that pen was nice, studded with diamonds.Cultural people, after all, were all about money!Unbeknownst to Carl, his actions had backfired.As soon as Amelia left, he entered, having watched the surveillance footage all afternoon. His handsome face now showed signs of fatigue."Young Master," the bodyguard in black stepped forward, "Miss Cromwell only took the the Heart Herb, nothing else."Miss Cromwell? Carl raised an eyebrow. "Amelia," he murmured to himself. "As in the Amelia of the 'Qin Huai at dusk,
At 6 p.m., it was rush hour.The streets were filled with cars, though ClearWater Alley was not congested, just full of people chatting casually."Have you heard?""Heard what?""The doctor from the big hospital across the street was arrested.""Oh, it was the Adler family causing trouble again," Emma, who had just returned from buying vegetables, commented. "I think they came to bully Lady Milton last time on purpose!""I think so too! The news said that family is a bunch of parasites. A lot of patients have been taken advantage of by them!""She even suppressed her fellow doctors. Lady Milton must have suffered because of her!"Emma glanced over. "Now you know! Last time, they were all talking in front of Amelia!""Lady Milton has been living here for so long, and nothing ever happened.""Last time, when my stomach hurt, I couldn’t even afford the medication from the big hospital. Lady Milton made me some
“Amelia!”From a distance, Lady Milton interrupted whatever Amelia was about to say, her face beaming with joy."Tell Qi to bring more water and help Emma and the others soak their feet."Amelia naturally withdrew her hand, smiling lightly. "Alright."She decided to let Qi's matter slide for now—it wasn't urgent. As long as the medicinal herbs were being used frequently, there wouldn’t be any noticeable issues…That night, the aroma of dinner wafted through the alley.It was clear that today had been one of the happiest days for Lady Milton in recent times. She was wearing her reading glasses, gently massaging her neighbors’ shoulders, her hands steady as she worked. Whenever the patient said they felt better, she would follow with a smile.Amelia raised an eyebrow, waiting until Emma and the others had left before she helped Lady Milton to her feet and spoke up. "Grandma, let’s get back to p
Lady Milton, leaning on her cane, stood up. "Whether to reopen Yixin Hall, I need to think it over carefully."Amelia smiled lightly. "Grandma, there's no rush. The more good doctors there are, the fewer bad ones there will be. Don't you think?"Lady Milton paused, then sighed. "You're right. I’ve lived most of my life and still haven’t thought things through as well as our Amelia."Amelia nodded and didn’t push her to make a decision right away. She gave Lady Milton time to think it over, understanding the inner conflict she must be facing. After all, the idea of taking lives—something that had happened in their family—was a hard barrier for any doctor who truly wanted to save lives to cross.Qi understood what Amelia was thinking. After Lady Milton had gone to sleep that night, he set to work. The various scrap parts he had collected clicked and clacked as he assembled them into a small portable notebook.Outside the
"The popularity is really high, would you like to see..."Mary interrupted her: "Mrs. Ernst, I know your family is close to the old lady, but I don’t want to hear anything about them."With that, she tossed her bag and walked off, as though just being associated with Amelia made her disgusted.Mrs. Young nudged her friend: "Why are you even talking to her about this?"Mrs. Ernst pouted: "I was just trying to warn her, not to ruin herself. But she didn’t appreciate it."The girl Mrs. Milton brought along wasn’t simple.She casually did a live stream and ended up trending on the hot search.Didn't the Crawford family think about these things? How foolish.Mary was clearly furious as she got into the car: "That damn girl is making me lose face again. Why does she have to be a livestreamer? What’s the difference between that and begging for money online? She&rs
Carl seemed to have seen through James's thoughts. He twirled a bead between his fingers, his entire demeanor cold and restrained: "Order them, and have them sent to ClearWater Alley.""Oh! Are you ordering for the little doctor?" James thought to himself that it was fine, nothing too special, especially since Young Master and the little doctor shared a bond of life-and-death friendship.However, Carl then added: "Make sure the label says 'Boyfriend'.""What?!" James almost dropped to his knees.Mr. Jenkins remained indifferent, his lips slightly parted as he spoke carelessly: "With your tolerance, how could you be an undercover agent for the Old Master?"James: *...* Being an undercover agent? That’s not something he’d want. He really couldn't figure out Mr. Jenkins. Oh, the torment!At this moment, in the domestic scene, on the bustling commercial street of LA…Chris was b
Amelia smiled lightly: "It’s Grandma asking what you’d like to eat. She’ll make it for you when you get back."Carl also sensed something different about the little doctor today: "Grandma?"Amelia’s gaze didn’t change: "Grandma’s right here with me."Mrs. Victoria, who had been called out, felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her nose and muttered softly: "I was just worried you might be lying to me."Amelia chuckled: "Well, do you believe me now?"Mrs. Victoria nodded, her face full of joy.People in the circle often said that the smartest member of the Jenkins family was Third Mr. Jenkins.Indeed, it was true. Carl only needed to hear two sentences before he smiled: "Grandma, what’s she been lying to you about?"He didn’t address her as "Mrs. Victoria" but, following Amelia, called her "Grandma."Mrs. Victoria became
Amelia remained calm and collected: "He’s on a business trip."Emma, who was now playing the role of an ally, added: "Mrs. Victoria, I can vouch for it. I saw him get into the car with my own eyes. That car was a beauty! Six million, you know!"Amelia didn’t immediately associate the six million with the Maybach.At the moment, she was busy texting her overly attractive patient.The message was simple: *Lend me a hand.*The patient: *???*Amelia: *I’ll explain later.*The patient: *Okay.*With the patient’s consent, Amelia finally felt reassured.Mrs. Victoria was still concerned: "Such a good match… Amelia, being with him, won’t it be..."Amelia cut her off decisively: "He listens to me."Mrs. Victoria smiled: "That’s good, that’s good!"Amelia was about to let out a relieved sigh
It was clear that Chris’s expression was genuinely displeased.The reporter was stunned, and everyone else seemed awkward, especially the Remington family members who were accompanying Chris. The Remington family had always been the face of LA , and whenever there was an important public event, Mr. Remington William would inevitably become the center of attention.But today, Chris, who came from New York, immediately put them in a tough spot.However, as the second-in-command of Wilson Group, a company that the city held in high regard, the Remington family had no choice but to swallow their pride.In the small alley, Emma had also seen the scene on the TV and chuckled happily: "Looks like the big boss is here again, or else that old head of the Remington family wouldn’t be smiling like that."Amelia hung up the phone, somewhat surprised: "Emma knows the Remington family?""Not well. I’m
Mr.Cromwell leaned on his dragon-headed cane: "They’re difficult to find. After the incident years ago, they now belong to the highest command level.""They’ve resurfaced again in the last three months," Edgar said in a lowered voice. "I heard it’s the boss's order, part public, part private."Mr.Cromwell's eyes glinted with sharpness: "Go ahead and handle it. As long as we can find Miss Cromwell, the Cromwell family will pay whatever it takes."This was an elderly man's yearning for his granddaughter, hoping she would return home.When Amelia received the message, she raised an eyebrow.On the other side, Andy Wilson, the representative from Wilson Group, was still talking: "Mrs., should we help or not?"Amelia, wearing a Bluetooth headset, was still in the narrow alley, her smile faint: "I was just warned not to do business with people from the Cromwell family."Andy let ou
In an instant, this could become news! This is unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!Director Noah quickly said, "Leader, here's the thing—Amelia, the little divine doctor, specifically instructed that she doesn't accept any payment for treating you all. Please don't send any rewards to her! As you know, she’s low-key and doesn’t want to draw attention."Steven pondered for a moment and then replied, "Noah, you’re thoughtful. Alright, we understand. We’ll just watch the live stream quietly, no actions."Director Xavier, who was in charge of public relations, suggested from the side, "It would be better to use a secondary account to watch."Steven recognized his voice: "Xavier?"Director Xavier: "I’m here, Leader, go ahead."Steven's voice grew stern without anger: "Some things shouldn’t be judged by appearances. You should know about the Adler family ’s situ
Elijah has many secrets.For example, he has an extraordinarily sharp sense of smell, capable of detecting scents that ordinary people can’t perceive.If Elijah calls something "stinky," it likely has something to do with poison...Amelia tapped her finger lightly on the stand, lost in thought, pondering whether she should tell Mr. Jenkins about the similar scent she had noticed in his study. The fragrance of the medicine there was eerily similar to that of Miss Cromwell from earlier...She only spent a couple of seconds thinking about this.In the yard, the old lady was calling her, "Amelia, is it true what Emma said? Our Harmony Clinic is famous now?"Before Amelia could answer, the neighbors started arriving one after another, surrounding Ms. Victoria and asking all kinds of questions.The live broadcast incident was still simmering, and Amelia’s post on her Snap Chat Moments had been
Molly was suspended in the air, her legs flailing, her face turning pale with fear.Elijah was about to exert more force, but Amelia spoke up, "Throw the things, don’t throw the person."Only then did Elijah release his grip, though his eyes stayed fixed on Molly.Molly, now completely stunned, collapsed onto the ground, her hands and feet freezing cold.Emma, aware of how strong Elijah was, had never seen the boy lose his temper before. "Amelia, this...""Don’t worry, Emma," Amelia replied calmly, her voice light. "Elijah knows his limits."True to her words, Elijah didn’t move further, merely standing at the doorway, his eyes giving off an unsettling aura.When the young woman approached, he even waved a hand in front of his nose, as if disdainfully rejecting the fragrance she was emitting.Abby Cromwell, noticing this, could no longer contain herself. She felt
