The moment he stepped into the elevator, the air around him seemed to drop to its lowest point.

When he wasn’t looking at anyone, he resembled a serene Buddhist monk. But when his gaze fell on someone, it was dangerous and demonic.

“Go on, speak,” he said coldly.

The hospital director wiped the sweat from his forehead and nervously called out, “Young Master Jenkins, don’t worry. Our Dr. Adler is an expert in this field. With her treating Mr. Cromwell, there’s absolutely no problem!”

The person who could make so many important figures nervous wasn’t anyone else but Carl, the head of the Jenkins family.

Carl casually twirled the Buddhist beads on his wrist, raising an eyebrow slightly. “That’s not what I’ve heard.”

“Y... Young Master Jenkins, we— we haven’t lied to you.” The vice director was now stuttering. “We wouldn’t dare delay Mr. Cromwell’s condition. After all, that’s the Cromwell family!”

Carl didn’t speak further but stood tall and straight, waiting for the elevator to reach th

    By pure coincidence, no one looked away.Especially Amelia, whose gaze remained clear and unwavering, still fixed on the man's face.As a fan of handsome men, Amelia had seen many in her time, but none could compare to the man before her.His sickly pale complexion was perfectly complemented by a pair of deep, phoenix eyes that seemed endless, carrying a natural coldness in his gaze. He had the kind of air that suggested both nobility and fragility, a rare combination.Despite the noise and bustle around the hospital, it seemed to have no effect on him at all. He stood there like a noble young master from ancient times, as delicate as jade.Amelia noticed that the portly Manager Monroe immediately ran up to the man the moment he saw him, greeting him enthusiastically and saying something with great excitement.Though Amelia couldn’t hear their conversation through the medical glass, she raised an eyebrow, intrigued.The next moment, the man’s gaze shifted toward her, and the dim yello

    No way…Director Luke’s eyes widened.Could she really be choosing Carl as her live subject?How could she dare? Is she throwing her life away at such a young age?Director Luke moved slightly, trying to make himself more noticeable, “Well, how about you choose someone else…”Before he could finish his sentence, Amelia had already stepped forward, walking right up to the man.It was only then that Director Luke realized that the young girl was actually taller than him!Amelia, with her slim waist and long legs, stood at 173 cm, her enchanting eyes framed by a cold, refined beauty. Standing next to the 188 cm tall Carl, the atmosphere between them felt strangely ambiguous.The contrast between their auras was stark—one cool and distant, the other fiery and intense—like a Buddhist monk meeting a seductive demon from the mortal world.Carl, dressed in pristine clothes, stood perfectly still. As Amelia approached, a chill appeared in his eyes, like the twilight’s cool breeze.Amelia halte

    Manager Monroe dared not continue his thoughts. The person in question was someone he had brought here, and moreover, the little miracle doctor was the savior of the Cromwell family. He could not watch her bring about her own downfall!"The little miracle doctor might not be very good at Chinese, and her choice of words might be a bit lacking, hehe... hehe..." Manager Monroe raised his head to look at Carl, his eyes pleading for mercy. "You wouldn't mind, would you?"Carl, a man of few words, gave a faint, indifferent "Mm."Amelia raised an eyebrow, confused. "Manager Monroe seems so nervous. Did I describe something wrong?""No problem," Carl suddenly smiled, a chilling, seductive smile that made it hard to know if it was a blessing or a curse. "Your description is quite accurate."Amelia's clear eyes shone with understanding. "It’s always the good-looking ones who know how to speak."With that, she turned her head to look at the doctors who had returned to their positions.Just a mo

    It felt like something was about to burst out, a heat rising from the outside in, as if something inside him was being crushed and pulled apart.Unable to stop himself, Carl unconsciously moved his Adam’s apple. Standing in the shifting light, the movement looked almost too seductive, a rare sight for him.Everyone in New York city knew that Carl was the embodiment of restraint. He was known for his ascetic lifestyle—he didn’t even touch meat, living on a vegetarian diet year-round. His air of noble detachment was something that no one had ever been able to break.Now, with his shirt half-open and his hair tousled, even Manager Monroe couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.The little miracle doctor had really gone and provoked Carl this time.Having worked closely with Mr. Cromwell for so long, and knowing that the Cromwell and Jenkins families had deep ties, Manager Monroe was familiar with Carl’s regular visits to the Cromwell family mansion, mostly to discuss breaking o

    As soon as Amelia spoke, the room fell silent.Carl stared at her intently, his deep eyes reflecting the soft glow of the lamps around them, exuding an air of noble detachment.The doctors were unaware of Carl's identity, but being medical professionals, they knew one thing for sure: when it came to Traditional medicine, the most worrying sign was when a doctor frowned while feeling a patient's pulse.Amelia, who had been smiling moments ago, now wore a calm expression. Her brow furrowed slightly, and her eyes were fixed with focused concentration. She looked completely serious, not at all like someone joking around.Could it be that what the little miracle doctor said was true? Was this man really dying?His face did seem a little pale, but surely it couldn’t be that serious.The doctors all turned their eyes to him, their concern growing.Director Luke and the vice-director exchanged glances and immediately waved for the others to leave.Manager Monroe’s heart skipped a beat, and he

    “It might not be curable,” Amelia said, half leaning against the wall, her long legs slightly bent as she lazily yawned. “The cause of the illness is unclear, the diagnosis isn’t definite, and also…”Carl gave a soft laugh, finishing her sentence for her. “And you’re tired. You don’t want to see any more patients today.”“Talking to someone smart is so much easier,” Amelia said with a half-smile, her eyes flickering mischievously. She placed her fingers back on his wrist and began to check his pulse again. “Your condition can’t be rushed.”He was someone whom even the King of Hell wouldn’t take in.That was why he was still here.He must have an exceptional temperament, trusting himself more than any deity or spirit. Despite the string of prayer beads on his wrist, which seemed like a plea for protection, they only contained herbs to calm the mind, helping him sleep.Amelia could even smell it as she leaned in closer.“Start by improving your sleep and diet,” she said, rubbing her nec

    “That person?” Amelia caught the key word in his sentence. “Isn’t he the young master of the Cromwell family?”Manager Monroe dared not reveal Carl’s true identity. He stammered, “Well, yes... he’s a distant relative, but he doesn’t share the Cromwell surname.”Amelia lowered her gaze and popped a fruit candy into her mouth, smiling lightly. “I thought Manager Monroe would stick to his guns and say that the old man in there doesn’t share the Cromwell surname either.”“I consider you one of my own, Little Doctor,” Manager Monroe replied smoothly. “Besides, your character is impeccable, so I don’t have any worries. My boss, indeed, comes from the Cromwell family—the wealthiest in the capital.”Amelia pressed the candy against her tongue. “Mm.”So indifferent? Manager Monroe chuckled. “As expected of the Little Doctor. Even after hearing all this, you remain unfazed. I was overthinking things earlier. I owe you an apology.”“Your duty is to protect your boss’s privacy. You did nothing wr

    “Just kidding,” Edgar laughed, not taking her seriously. He glanced at her and added, “As long as you have a sense of it, let me know if you need anything. Although I’m just the Executive Manager, I can help you with connections.”Amelia was a bit surprised to learn that Edgar Monroe was the Executive Manager. Judging by his appearance, he looked more like a typical errand runner... Ah, she’d misunderstood.“One more thing,” Edgar continued. “I’d like to ask for your help, Second Sister.”Amelia raised an eyebrow. “What is it, Big Brother?”Edgar glanced around, lowering his voice. “Mr. Cromwell came to LA because his granddaughter went missing. She was kidnapped and sold here. They had some leads, but now there’s no news. You know so many people through your medical practice. Can you help Big Brother search for her?”Amelia thought back to the job she had previously declined. It seemed she was truly connected to the Cromwell family’s Seventh Miss.“Alright.” Amelia didn’t ask further

    Speaking of this, Trista paused and looked at Amelia standing there, from eyebrows to mouth, saying, "Your eyes resemble Ruby's, Amelia. I am Trista, and I used to hold you when you were a child.""You did have some misunderstandings, Abby, but it's not your fault. After all, you've been away from home for so many years, and when you came back, your own parents were no longer the same. It was difficult for you to accept it all at once.""I understood you."Trista said, wanting to touch Amelia's head, "You were quite fierce when you were little, and made some mistakes, but you can always turn back.""But I wouldn't let anyone defame you for the mistakes you didn't commit.""I vouched with my own reputation, let me have a look at your clothes."She wondered how to eliminate the hostility caused by the other party.In Trista's view, Sebastian and Benjamin were different from before, is it because Amelia came back?In such situations, their mother always had to be considered.Whether it w

    "Never mind about the age, just to say, this Lamar is a French, I heard he is even a noble over there."This was the meaning of not believing Amelia.Upon seeing this, Amanda couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Ms. Amelia, if you want to lie about not being able to come down from the stage, at least come up with something more believable. Lamar is indeed mysterious, but who doesn't know that she was born in France? The clothes she creates have always had a strong exotic vibe. If you want to impersonate her, you should at least have some connection to it."Amelia was calm and composed: "Have you seen Lamar, or did you hear her say it herself, that she was French?""I." Amanda opened her mouth.Amelia smiled lightly, a bit mischievously, and said, "You haven't seen it, you haven't heard it, and even the people present have mentioned it. Those rumors are just hearsay. I designed clothes with an exotic style, hoping to make money overseas, but unexpectedly, the strongest demand comes

    This one comes and goes, playing beautifully.The indifference of the older generation does not mean that it had no impact.Amanda was always talking nonstop, while Amelia could even buy knockoff clothes. If she wasn't being stingy to save money, she was just gullible and easily fooled, without a trace of the elegance that a wealthy person should have.The ladies of each family, of course, whispered among themselves."Who told you that I bought this clothes?"In the midst of the noise, Amelia spoke, with a tone that was neither high nor low.Amanda didn't agree: "It's not bought, did you make it yourself?""It was indeed me who did it," Amelia said, her gaze falling upon herself. "Sebastian's words just now were too mild. It seems that Ms. Fisher's mind is filled with nothing but water, shake it a little and you can still hear the sound."Amanda was furious!No one has ever dared to disrespect her like this!"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell Ms. Fisher that I speak more directly," Ame

    In order to outshine his peers present at the scene, Spencer deliberately wore a multimillion-dollar watch and the latest high-end designer suit, with the intention of causing a sensation.Who knew, when he came in, people didn't even look at him.Instead, all the attention was focused on the west side, and it was Sebastian again!"Mr. Sebastian, you are being too harsh with your words," Spencer walked over and patted Amanda's shoulder. "Amanda is just young and curious, she just wanted to ask about the pretty clothes."Moreover, she was a fan of Lamar, so if she saw someone dressed inappropriately, she would definitely take it to heart."If Mr. Sebastian felt it was inappropriate, he could have explained the origin of the clothes to Ms. Cromwell himself, instead of making Amanda come down from the stage."Spencer grandly spoke and then lifted his head.He wanted to see what skills this newly arrived country bumpkin, the Cromwell family, had that made Benjamin and Sebastian rush back.

    In the dream, Amanda had many of her sisters pulling and mocking her.Amelia pursed her thin lips, and before she could find the other person, the other person approached her on their own, saving her a lot of trouble.Hamza's aura was not to be underestimated: "What's up? Do you need something?""Sir Cromwell, you are still so serious," Amanda said, patting her chest in a dramatic manner, pretending to be scared. "I wanted to be friends with Ms. Amelia."Amanda was convinced that in such a big occasion, an elder would never dare to trouble a younger person like her.Of course, if Hamza got angry, it would be easy to let the media write about it.Anyway, the Fisher family was not the one being rude!Amanda's calculations were almost all written out in plain sight, how could Hamza not see it?

The Cromwell family didn't release any news at all!""Hamza really kept it a secret so well, I bet even Mr. Cromwell didn't know."Some people looked at Zane, after all, he had just said that this banquet was a small matter and not worth their sons coming back.Surprisingly, Sebastian, and even Benjamin, who was known as the special forces king, came back from afar.As a father, he had never even heard of it, which shows how embarr
