“Mr. Hamlin, right after you left, Mr. Lewis’s condition took a turn for the worse. He fell into a coma, his heart was racing, and he had a high fever. I tried calling you but got no answer. We were so worried, and we didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, Miss Green was here on business, and she stepped in to help. It’s thanks to her that Mr. Lewis recovered so quickly. I had no idea she was so skilled medically. She just used some ointments and a pill. Just like that, he’s back on his feet,” Linda explained cheerfully.Seeing Mr. Hamlin, she felt a warm familiarity, and she was finally able to relax.“It’s true.” Nolan nodded slightly with a smile.“Miss Green did this?” Mr. Hamlin appeared surprised as he stroked his beard.“Yes.” Linda nodded.Mr. Hamlin’s surprise increased. “I didn’t know that she could do treatments.”“Her medical skills are great. I only found out just now. I thought you knew about it already since you’re well-acquainted with her.”Hearing Linda’s words, Mr
Amy was taken aback. It was her first time seeing Mr. Hamlin so excited.She was at a loss for words and slightly dazed. However, he had already dragged her toward the lounge.“It’s so hot outside. Come, Amy. Let’s go inside where it’s cooler.”Amy felt bewildered as Mr. Hamlin seemed unusually enthusiastic today.What was going on? Seeing a cup of coffee prepared in the lounge, she felt surprisingly honored.Mr. Hamlin was known for his profound medical expertise and great reputation. He was no ordinary person.She nodded politely and awkwardly as Mr. Hamlin held on to her hand tightly. “Mr. Hamlin, you... what’s this about?”Realizing his overexcitement, Mr. Hamlin laughed and released her hand. “Ah, look how excited I’ve become.”Amy smiled uncomfortably and withdrew her hand.She turned around and noticed Linda, Aiden, and Nolan all standing on the same side.Her gaze landed on Aiden, who was standing in the middle. He appeared to be in good spirits. Evidently, her treatm
Hearing the conversation shift to him, Aiden simply crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow in curiosity.It was Nolan who spoke first, “Yes. We can definitely discuss compensation. Actually, this isn’t our first encounter with Miss Green.”Mr. Hamlin looked at Amy in surprise before he turned back to Nolan and Aiden. “Oh. You know each other?”Nolan smiled. “Yes, we do.” He then touched his nose and shared their backstory, “Mr. Lewis and I were in a car when we had a... traffic dispute with Miss Green on the road. Our cars collided, and that’s how we met. At that time, we didn’t know that she was such an expert in alternative medicine.”The mention of the incident made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.However, he turned to Amy and earnestly said, “Miss Green, regarding the car accident, we won’t pursue it any further or ask for compensation. In fact, we’re hoping to hire you to help treat Mr. Lewis if possible. You can name your price.”Aiden gave his silent approval.Amy did no
Amy’s blood ran cold at the sight of the tattoo, and she was rooted to the spot.The eagle eye design seemed hauntingly familiar. She had been having nightmares about the man who had ruined her reputation for five years. Each time, she would see that tattoo on his chest. She knew it all too well.Her eyes widened as her world seemed to spin. Star and Night had asked about their father before. She had also made the effort to find him but always came back empty-handed. Could this man be the father of her children?Such tattoos were common, and it could just be a coincidence.Was it exactly the same, or was she mistaken? She eagerly looked over for a closer inspection of the tattoo. She wanted to see if it matched the one in her memory.However, Aiden had already buttoned up his shirt. With buttons that ran up to the collar, the black shirt highlighted his attractive figure. It gave him the aura of something desirable yet off-limits.Unfortunately, his chest tattoo was con
Mr. Hamlin and Amy stepped aside for a detailed discussion, while Nolan and Aiden waited in the lounge. About half an hour later, they returned.“How did it go, Mr. Hamlin?” Aiden asked.Mr. Hamlin nodded and appeared energized. “I’ve looked over the plan, and we can start with a one-month trial.”Neither Aiden nor Nolan knew much about herbal medicine. Since Mr. Hamlin could not convey it in professional terms, he kept it simple. His expression carried a hint of incredulity as he spoke.Aiden noticed his look and felt puzzled. He wondered what they had discussed to result in such an expression. However, since Mr. Hamlin had agreed to the plan, it seemed feasible.With both parties satisfied, it was time to discuss a deal.“Miss Green, please have a seat. Let’s discuss the details of our arrangement.” As Nolan adjusted his glasses, he exuded a mature and steady business vibe.“I don’t have many requirements. It’ll be fine as long as you cooperate during treatment.”Amy
Jenny found it inconceivable. Amy had been cast out by the Green family, and she had lost all her dignity. Living in such a desolate place with several kids and relying on growing herbs for a living was a far cry from her glamorous life as a celebrity. She had expected Amy to be unkempt and dirty. Amy was supposed to resemble more of a village woman than a former lady of the Green family. Jenny had originally come to revel in her misfortune. But after she saw Amy, Jenny was taken aback by her appearance.The hardships of life had added a layer of grace to Amy.Her experience as a mother had also given her a soft, emotional depth. It made her even more appealing than when she was living luxuriously with the Green family.Jenny scoffed as envy filled her heart. She could not surpass Amy before, and it looked like that was still the case.Unable to resist, Jenny provocatively mentioned, “Sis, I’m here under Dad’s orders. After all these years of estrangement, he’s come to unde
After Amy finished the procedures, she returned to the hospital ward to find Mrs. Harper awake.She was lying in bed with a thick white bandage around her head and an IV in her arm. Mrs. As she tried to sit up, Amy hurried over to help and place a pillow behind her.“Grandma, you’re awake. Does it hurt anywhere?” Amy asked with concern.Mrs. Harper held her forehead and replied, “I just have a headache, nothing else. The doctor just came by and said it’s nothing serious. I only need some medication.”Amy breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside her.“Once this IV is done, get me discharged, Amy. Staying here costs so much, and it’s just a minor problem,” Mrs. Harper stated firmly as she looked at the nearly empty IV bag.“Grandma, I’ve already paid for today. Even if we leave now, they won’t give us a refund. You’re still not stable. It’s better to stay in the hospital for one more day for observation. If everything’s fine tomorrow, we can leave,” Amy reasoned while comforti
“Amy was not raised properly, so it’s no surprise that she lacks manners,” Ellen said worriedly. She glanced at her husband before changing the subject. “Michael, we were planning to use Jenny’s wedding as an opportunity to arrange Amy’s marriage as well. But seeing how she is, I’m afraid she won’t come back so easily.”Michael scoffed, and his face was full of greed.“She has to come back whether she likes it or not. I’ll make sure of it! Besides, the Jackson family will definitely claim her when the time comes. Where else can we find a bride for them? With her loss of chastity and the scandal that followed, she should be honored that a member of the Jackson family is willing to marry her. Only a fool would refuse.”They were trying to get Amy to marry into the Jackson family. That was their true purpose of calling her back.The Jackson family was a prominent and wealthy family in Jackson City. It was known for producing talented individuals every generation.However, the Jacks
