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 straightened up. “No.”

“Then I’ll have my third brother marry you as a thank-you!” The boy said, smiling brightly. His little voice continued, counting on his fingers. “My third brother may not talk much, but he’s handsome, and he makes a lot of money. He can make you look good out there. A lot of girls want to marry him!”

Amelia couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m not planning to get married for now.”

“Oh…” The boy’s face immediately drooped in disappointment. His ears flopped down, and he walked along with a sad, dejected look.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, he suddenly perked up again, lifting his little face. “Sis, how about you meet with my third brother first? After meeting him, you can decide!”

With his brother’s looks, he was sure she would be moved! He was a master at using his face to charm people!

Amelia smiled gently. “You’re really pushing your brother. Does he know?”

“He’s always sick.” The boy said seriously, his little face earnest. “My family wants him to find a wife quickly. You’re a great doctor and pretty too, I’m sure you have a lot of people who want to be your boyfriend. So of course, I have to help my brother get ahead of the competition.”

Amelia looked at his dry, pale lips and bought a bottle of mineral water and a pack of crackers for him. “Don’t talk too much, you’re still recovering.”

The boy obediently took whatever she gave him. He couldn’t open the bottle of water by himself, so he raised it up weakly, his voice soft. “Can you open it for me?”

At that moment, Jerry arrived to pick him up. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw this scene.

That’s ...? The fake young lady who was kicked out of the Milton family? Why is young master Jenkins with her?

And he’s even asking her to open a bottle of water for him? Is this… a change of character?

Jerry’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise but he quickly composed himself.

He recognized Amelia, but she didn’t recognize him.

Jerry didn’t reveal his identity. He hurried over and said, “Master Jenkins! We’ve finally found you! Thank goodness you’re okay.”

“It was she who saved me.” The boy grabbed Amelia’s hand, his face showing a rebellious streak, as though this was his true self.

Jerry gave a polite bow, his tone courteous but distant. “Thank you, Miss Cromwell.”

Amelia glanced at him with a calm expression. “He’s already thanked me.”

Jerry was momentarily taken aback by her attitude but quickly addressed the boy. “Young Master, the boss has used his connections to find you. He’s waiting in the car and hasn’t even taken his medicine this afternoon.”

At the mention of his third brother, the boy’s eyes widened in surprise, as if he hadn’t expected his brother to come out personally.

Over by the Maybach, the window rolled down slightly, and a figure could be seen inside. The man sitting there was tall and elegant, his posture graceful, with a fist pressed to his lips as though lightly coughing. Every movement exuded the poise of a noble family, his demeanor full of pride and refinement…

    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

    Jackson saw that no one was around and stopped pretending to be kind: “From today on, let’s pretend we never raised you. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways!”Amelia didn’t respond, too lazy to bother with this family anymore.However, Director Noah, who had ridden over on an electric bike to find someone, wasn’t pleased. He stopped the bike, furrowing his brows slightly: “Comrade, how can you speak to … Amelia like that? So rude.”Amelia, the miraculous doctor, had always been low-profile. Once outside the compound, he only allowed them to call him Amelia.Director Noah had almost slipped up earlier and almost called her something else.Jackson misunderstood and glanced at Director Noah. “Is this your real father? Riding an old electric bike?”He couldn’t even afford a decent car—no wonder Amelia had ended up so insignificant. Someone from a rural village couldn’t be expected to do anything impressive, especially still wearing a traditional suit in this day and age.Jackson’s con

    "I thought they were here for a consultation," Director Noah murmured softly.Amelia didn’t think much of it. She simply lowered her head to send a message declining a consultation request. Lately, many people had come to the neighborhood asking for her services, including some from neighboring cities and counties. It wasn’t strange for Director Noah to think that way, especially since her biological parents were from River County."Director Noah, let’s head back. We shouldn’t keep Uncle Lee and the others waiting," Amelia said."Alright," Director Noah replied with a smile and a nod.One said little, the other asked nothing. A beautiful misunderstanding was born from their interaction.Outside the Community the Cromwell family was in a panic.Several of the Cromwell family’s young masters had work to attend to, so they had to return first.Mr. Cromwell sat in a New York-registered business car, looking grim.

    "Yes, Mr. Milton, they specifically asked to see the fake young lady. They want to know her whereabouts now," the butler, who had been the first to kick Amelia out earlier, reported.Jackson thought about the shabby electric bike from earlier and felt a wave of irritation. "No wonder she didn’t want the money. She must think it’s too little and wants to cling to the Milton family!""This family really has no shame!" the butler growled. "I’ll go take care of this. I’m great at dealing with these clingy pests!"Jackson, always thinking a few steps ahead, warned, "Just don’t make it too ugly. the Milton family has a reputation to maintain.""Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing," the butler assured him.Jackson hung up the phone and continued inside to toast with the guests. In a little while, Mia would officially apprentice under the Adler family, and with their prestige in the medical world, she would inevitably get close to the Jenkins family. His career would then be smooth sailing.At

    The old man had only been passing by and, seeing someone getting treatment, thought he might try his luck. He never expected to be cured. When he learned that Amelia charged him nothing, he almost kneeled down to thank her.Amelia stopped him, gently wiping her hands. "Old man, this isn’t a serious illness. It’s just a simple bone adjustment. Traditional medicine treats it like this.""Simple bone adjustment?" The old man looked confused. "But Dr.Adler said I need surgery! He said the surgery would cost a million."A million?The number made everyone around frown. For ordinary people, that amount could be a financial disaster."What is this Dr.Adler doing?! Robbing people?!" Emma was the first to express her displeasure. As someone who had been in leadership, she was particularly concerned about the suffering of the common people.Others were also upset, and one of them turned to Director Noah. "little Noah, you need to handle this properly!"Director Noah was wiping sweat from his br

    "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
