The night came unknowingly. Now that Jaime was already gone, there was no one else around who was keeping an eye on the old house. Sienna sneaked into the old house silently without any hesitation under the cover of the night.She did not manage to rummage through the old house carefully since she came here in a hurry the last time.This time, Sienna went directly to the room on the second floor and looked around.She still had no clue after looking around. Sienna could not help but exhale. The layout of the old house was almost the same as what she remembered. All the furnishings had not been changed. It was just that her grandmother used to put a picture of her as a child on the table, but the picture was gone now. As such, it should have been put away a long time ago. Sienna glanced around casually and was suddenly stunned. That’s right.Where was her photo? Sienna got up to look around. She found that photos of her grandparents were still there, but the photo of her
Sienna raised her brows. “You still believe in this?”“What’s wrong with trying?” Harry said. A red cloth suddenly appeared in his hand out of nowhere. He handed it to Sienna and said slowly, “There’s a pen there.”Following his line of sight, Sienna saw that there was not only a pen but also a small square table under the ancient tree. It must have been specifically placed here by the local villagers who were used to coming here to make wishes and pray for blessings. Sienna shook her head and said indifferently, “I’m not interested in this.”If making a wish was really useful, then why did no one hear her greatest desires when she supplicated herself to the sky so many times back then?Harry chuckled lightly, then picked up the pen and slowly began to write on the red cloth. Sienna was a little curious, and she could not help but lean over to take a peek.Unexpectedly, Harry immediately used his hand to cover it up. “No peeking.”“Petty.”Sienna simply turned around, walked
Sienna blinked and stuffed the red cloth back into Harry’s hand without hesitation. “I better not look at it then.”She did not want to fall into his trap just because of a moment of curiosity!Harry chuckled lightly and said, “Let’s go.”Both of them walked along the path that they came from.The moonlight was like a veil that was shrouding this small mountain village.Sienna was bored, and she was nonchalantly admiring the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, she saw Harry pointing at a certain location, and the man playfully teased her in his low and pleasant voice as he asked, “Nene, do you think that little thing looks like you?”“What?”Sienna looked in the direction that Harry was pointing and saw two beautiful and cute big white swans standing by the corner of the wall. The movements of these two big white swans were almost synchronized, and their feathers were white and spotless. The swans’ slender necks were slightly bent, and as Harry and Sienna stared at them, the two bi
Harry, who was a wall away, turned off the lights and quietly looked at the ceiling.His eyes were still sharp and bright in the darkness, and they also carried a hint of coldness and sternness with them. He remembered that he had exposed the scars on his body in front of Sienna when she administered acupuncture during the day. At that time, he asked her if she was afraid. However, the young girl then replied to him in a firm and unmistakably natural tone as she stated, ‘There’s nothing to be afraid of.’But Nene, if you knew where my scars came from, you would probably think of me as the chief of all evil, just like everyone else.Harry closed his eyes. Those bloody fights seemed like a dream in retrospect. They had been long gone for many years, but what never disappeared was the invisible black mire behind him.The gravitational force inside was pulling him in little by little.One day, he would be pulled and dragged, and then trapped until his demise…Harry turned sideway
Master?Kai, who was driving in front, was startled.If he guessed correctly, Dr. Watte should be referring to his young mistress as his master.Dr. Watte did mention that he wanted to ask Sienna to take him as his apprentice the last time. However, at that time, Kai thought that Dr. Watte was just exaggerating when he said that. He did not expect that Dr. Watte would really refer to Sienna as his master!Kai was surprised, but he did not dare to say anything.Sienna got out of the car, glanced around, and was about to turn around and ask Harry to wait in the car. However, before she could say anything, she saw that Harry had already gotten out of the car, and it seemed that he was already prepared to go with her.Sienna raised her brows and said nothing.Dr. Watte came here yesterday, so he knew where the old lady who needed treatment lived. As such, he walked in front and led the way as he said, “The old lady is said to be insane now. I don’t know if she’s emotionally stable,
Sienna finally reacted this time.She looked at Harry in confusion and asked, “What are you doing?”Having said that, she tried to take her hand back, but he was holding tightly onto her. She could not break free at all.Harry asked, “Why are you unhappy?”His voice was as soft and light as a feather, but Sienna was startled for a moment. She did not expect that he would be able to see the slightest change in her emotions. Sienna lowered her eyes and said lightly, “I just heard a story that was a little hard to bear.”This answer was a half-truth because… she was the person telling the story.In the half an hour that she entered the house, she told the old lady a little about her son’s experiences and his honorable war achievements. The old lady was holding onto her son’s photo as she listened attentively to Sienna. When she learned that her son had died in battle, the old lady who had been suppressing her emotions for many years was surprisingly calm, and she managed to restra
“I… I just slightly renovated the house.”'Renovation? That's a minor issue.' Without giving it any thought, Sienna responded casually, “It is our home. You can decorate it however you like.” Sienna hung up the phone after that.Madam Garcia suddenly shouted from downstairs, “Miss Sienna, lunch is ready!”“I’m coming.” Sienna put away her laptop and mobile phone before she walked downstairs unhurriedly. She sunbathed in the yard after lunch.Dr. Watte sat on the small bench beside Sienna and sighed, “Master, shall we leave by tomorrow? We have nothing to do here, and I feel uneasy now.”Sienna glanced at him and asked half-smilingly, “How many patients have you seen at the simple prefabricated house?”“Zero.” Dr. Watte sat on the small bench beside Sienna and sighed, “No one has stepped into that house from day one.”The banner of the free clinic placed before the prefabricated house was pretty eye-catching, but the villagers of Adak had never set foot there. It was primarily du
Over the next few days, Sienna and Dr. Watte had been occupied in the free clinic.Among the villagers who visited the doctor, some had minor illnesses such as headaches and fever; while others had more serious conditions like rheumatism, where they had difficulty moving around. There was also a heavily pregnant lady that had come for consultation.Initially, they had put the doctors to the test, but they had gained complete faith in their ability later.A couple who visited the doctor had twins who were suffering from a rare disease. The parents didn’t have much hope at first, but Sienna assured them that the twins could be cured. She stayed up for two straight nights and healed the twins.From that day onward, Sienna’s reputation became widespread throughout Adak. The locals came here to seek consultation for free. Later, they took the initiative to send food to the doctors.“Miracle Doctor, I grew these lemons in my yard, and they taste very good. I have some for you right here
