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

    Since the plan was to revive Yixin Hall, it wouldn’t do to be short on medicinal herbs.LA, located at the junction of two provinces, had a humid climate and dense shrubs, making it a great place to dig up mushrooms, and also other things, such as wild Ganoderma and wild ginseng.These were two of Qi’s favorite things, and at the scent of them, he immediately set off.Generally, people who lived off the land followed the principle of "relying on the mountain to eat from the mountain, and the water to eat from the water." It was rare for ordinary folks to find three or four wild ginseng roots in a day, but this pair—Qi and Amelia—had practically swept half of the mountain peak clean.On the way down, they ran into Li Yaohui, a man who specialized in early morning mushroom hunting.It was the first time Li Yaohui had seen anyone who arrived earlier than him. He looked at them in surprise. "It’s still dark. You two little

    Li Yaohui hesitated. "An electrocardiogram? Is it really necessary? I only get dizzy occasionally…""You really should go," Amelia said, handing him a business card. "Or you can come to Yixin Hall in Qingshui Alley in the city."Li Yaohui took the card but was still mumbling to himself as the two kids quickly descended the mountain. They moved so fast, almost as if they were more familiar with the mountain roads than he, a seasoned mushroom hunter.Qi was reluctant to head home, especially after hearing about the wolves on the mountain. He was practically eager to test his courage.Amelia grabbed him and threw him onto the back of the motorcycle, securing the black-red helmet with a snap. "Hold onto the bag."Qi sat up straight. "Mm!""Next time, you can come here by yourself to play," Amelia said, kicking up the motorcycle stand and swinging her long legs over the bike. Her beautiful face, with a hint of exhaustion, was framed by her

    The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Although Amelia hadn’t gotten up yet, there was already a flurry of activity outside the clinic.Qi had come in twice, standing by her bed and gesturing, but she couldn’t even be bothered to open her eyes.It wasn’t until Granny Ye called out, "Amelia, today is Thursday. Why aren’t you at school?" that Amelia finally got herself together and walked out, her face fresh and natural, with no makeup but still strikingly beautiful."I don’t have class in the morning," she replied.Granny Ye seemed to have seen through her thoughts and sighed deeply. "If it’s too hard for you, just tell me. It’s okay. I heard from your Emma that there are extra tutoring classes now. Should we sign you up for one?"Hard? She? Qi lifted his head at the mention of "hard," his eyes full of aggression.Amelia smiled, gathering her long hair into a high ponytail, her beauty even more a

    It was important to maintain silence when diagnosing through pulse.James noticed how close the little divine doctor was standing to their young master, but he didn’t dare say anything. After all, their young master had silently given his permission.It wasn’t until Amelia released her hand and muttered, "How could it have returned to this state in just three days?" that the silence was broken.Carl coughed again, his voice raspy. "This is how my body is. You don’t need to feel guilty.""Guilty?" Amelia chuckled softly, her tone languid. "I’m not as noble as you think. I just want to know the reason. By all rights, your pulse shouldn’t have returned so quickly."Suddenly, Carl remembered the discarded medicinal scent. His beautiful peach blossom eyes deepened in thought.Amelia turned her gaze to James, who was standing nearby. "Report everything your young master has eaten these past few days. The more details,

    The person who arrived was Director Noah from Community. When he saw Amelia, his eyes immediately lit up."Little Qin, the divine doctor! I finally found you!" Director Noah wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Uncle Lee and the others have been asking me for the past few days where you've gone. Why didn’t you go to the square for your consultation yesterday?"These were all retired cadres, and he couldn’t afford to offend any of them. Furthermore, many of them had made great contributions in the past. When his former leaders asked questions, he had no choice but to find answers.Amelia handed him a piece of paper. "I’ll be staying at my grandmother’s for the time being, helping her get the pharmacy up and running. I won’t be going to the square anymore."Director Noah gasped, his forehead sweating even more. "You know, Uncle Lee’s health, and Grandma Wu’s heart... they both..."There were other people aroun

    Hearing the mention of the invitation letter, James’s gaze shifted toward it!Carl remained calm, his voice steady, "I suppose so."Amelia’s eyes sparkled with beauty as she smiled, "You still want to do good deeds without leaving your name behind?"Carl coughed lightly, his voice still a little raspy, "My health is poor, and even if the invitation letter was given to me, it would be a waste. I can't go. It's better to give it to you, the doctor."Amelia raised an eyebrow, "You never thought about trying your luck? The Jenkins family has invited so many famous doctors; surely one of them could cure you."Carl lowered his gaze, his long lashes casting a shadow over his eyes, "I did think about it before, but after meeting you, I felt it wasn’t necessary."As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone froze.The wooden bucket in James's hands dropped.Amelia’s hand, which had been pouring tea, froze for a

    "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?"

    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.
