Ethan called early in the morning, "Jeff, your aunt is back, she said she wanted to see you and asked you to have dinner with her tonight."Jeff's aunt, Lynn, was Mr. Howard's only daughter. A single woman."Why is she back so suddenly?""I also heard ......""Heard what?""That she brought Rose back with her.""What do you mean?"Rose was Lynn's adopted daughter, brought home from the orphanage when she was six years old. Rose had been growing up following the course of life Lynn had designed since she was a child. Not only she was multi-talented, but she was also gorgeous and had many suitors around her. What's even more rare was that she was also a very hardworking girl, and later got admitted to Cambridge University to study. Now she was a famous doctor in England and was doing well in her career.By the time Jeff arrived at the restaurant, to his surprise, not only Aunt Lynn and Rose were there. Their whole family was there, and so were his uncles, Eric, Nate, and Andrew Thomas.
An hour later. Andy arrived only to hand Kourtney a small cloth bag. It was a roll of cloth, to be exact. Long strips of cloth rolled up like an egg roll with a knot on the outside. It was very Chinese.Kourtney neatly opened the roll of cloth, which was surprisingly full of fine needles."It's acupuncture? You know Chinese acupuncture?" Rose had read a lot when she was in school, and she was impressed by the ancient Chinese healing arts."I only know a few simple treatments. My teacher once met a great Chinese doctor in Chinatown." Looking at Lynn's questioning eyes, she said calmly, "Please rest assured that this needle, even if it doesn't cure it, will never get worse; it's a minimally invasive Chinese treatment."
In the day when back to school, Kourtney walked out of her classroom as usual. She took out her cell phone and looked at it, there weren't any texts or calls. She was just about to put her phone in her bag when suddenly it rang. "Hello?" "Hello, it's me." At the sound of the familiar voice, Kourtney's brow furrowed, "Why you?" "Who are you expecting a call from?" Kourtney was a little annoyed, "What's up?" Andy said a little puzzled, "Didn't you say this morning that you wanted me to come pick you up after school? I'm already in front of the school." Kourtney: "Got it!" Hanging up the phone, Kourtney wasn't in a good mood, she didn't understand what she was expecting and what she was unhappy about. Wasn't she the one who talked herself out of the breakup? Besides, it wasn't like they were boyfriend and girlfriend, it was a transactional relationship. Not long after, she arrived at the entrance of the school and saw Andy's white Porsche parked. Andy stood by the door, waving at
After Mr. Howard woke up last time, the doctor said that he needed to stay in the hospital until he was completely fine before being discharged.Rose and her team were doing follow-up recovery treatments for him. When Jeff arrived at the hospital, Rose was looking at the latest checkup data. When she saw Jeff appear at the end of the corridor, she was pleasantly surprised and greeted him from afar, "Jeff, you're here!"At that time, when Kourtney appeared, she thought that she had no more chances, and unexpectedly, they broke up. She was especially happy to learn that they had broken up. Jeff coldly said hi and crossed over from her, heading in Lynn's direction."Auntie, you've been taking care of Grandpa lately, hard work!" Jeff said to Lynn.
Watching Kourtney and Cathy leave, the middle-aged man was about to continue chasing after them, but a group of black-clothed men came out from nowhere and knocked their men to the ground. He hurriedly signaled his subordinates to retreat, the item had been obtained and there was no need for the men to chase after them. He excitedly looked at the metal box in his hand. It was said that eighteen years ago, many people were robbing this item, and many people were implicated and even killed. Even Cathy's parents were tragically killed for guarding something like this, and now his Boss wanted it too. What the hell was this? He immediately got into his car, which had has specialized listening devices, computers, and weapons. Following Kourtney's example, he pressed his finger on the box, which instantly transformed into a flash drive. His eyes were glowing with excitement, and then, he plugged that USB flash drive into his computer. When he was about to open the flash drive, a dialog bo
After escaping, Kourtney realized that Teresa had been shot with a needle that was poisoned. She had to take her to the hospital as soon as possible. Seconds later, the middle-aged man and his subordinates chased after her, and he didn't see Kourtney and Teresa, but a handsome man. "Who are you?" Jeff waved his hand and more than ten Howard family bodyguards immediately appeared behind him. The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Are you ...... you from the Howard family?" Jeff didn't answer him, and gave a cold order, "Take down all of them, don't leave a single one!" "Yes!" When Jeff fled out of the door with his subordinates, Kourtney's car, which was originally parked there, had already disappeared. Looking at the remaining wheel marks on the ground, Jeff smiled bitterly, "What a heartless little sweetheart." Without even a thank you and without waiting for him, he just left straight away. However, it wasn't hard to find Kourtney and Teresa. An hour later, Kourtney was n
Kourtney had just walked out of the school gates after school that day when she saw Jeff picking her up again, as he always did.She wanted to take a detour and leave, after all, they broke up, and they couldn't be entangled every day."Kourtney, I know you don't want to see me, but it's Grandpa who wants to see you today."That day when she saved her grandfather's life, everything was too rushed. Kourtney had been worried, not knowing if her treatment results would work or not. After all, she could only learn a little bit of Chinese medicine from her teacher, and her certainty wasn't too great. Mr. Howard was very happy to see Kourtney in his hospital room.The Howard family was there wh
In a few days, Kourtney will have her Bat Mitzvah. Before that, she had a promise with Grandpa Elijah. After coming of age, he would give her all the relics that her mother had put in his possession. These days, because of what happened to Teresa, she wanted to find out what happened to her parents back then, even sooner.The door to the study was open, and Mr. Elijah stood by the study window, his back to her. Hearing the footsteps, Grandpa turned around and looked at her with a loving face, "Kourtney, you're here."Kourtney walked in expressionlessly, stared at her grandfather's face, and opened the door, "Grandpa, I'm an adult now, my mother's things, please return them to me."The bond between their grandfather and grandson may never be repair
