That was the old lady’s favorite book on medicinal dishes, filled with numerous recipes.She would often sit in her garden on the lounge chair, reading aloud to Amelia: “This dish is good. Today, I’ll make some fish for Amelia and cook some lotus seed soup to clear the heat and nourish the stomach.”Now, all of it was ruined!Amelia’s eyes darkened, the storm brewing in them. She strode quickly towards the inner courtyard.A young boy dressed like a masseur quickly dropped the wooden tub he was holding when he saw her. He hurriedly raised his hands to gesture.Amelia placed a firm hand on his shoulder, her eyes deep, but her voice calm. "Elijah, don't panic. Take your time and tell me what happened."Elijah had been picked up by the old lady when he was a child. He was born mute and could only communicate through sign language. Now, however, his throat could produce sounds. He was small, around eleven years old, with clean features. He raised his arm to gesture to Amelia, his eyes sha
"You don't have to worry about my studies," Amelia gently pushed the old lady forward. "Just focus on your health and listen to Elijah. Don't eat too many sweets."Mrs. Milton muttered, "How can I not study? I heard the girl who was brought back has excellent grades.""That's great, Grandma's granddaughter, just like you, smart," Amelia smiled lightly.Mrs. Milton looked up. "What about you? What will you do in the future?""I'll make money. I won’t starve," Amelia said, taking off the old lady’s socks and shoes. "Elijah, the medicine tub."Elijah immediately responded with a sharp nod. "Mmm!"With great strength, he lifted the medicine tub and hurried off, quickly filling it with water and returning at full speed.He seemed to have boundless energy.Amelia, used to it by now, didn’t comment further.Mrs. Milton chuckled. "This Elijah, he’s all strength and no sense. The other day, our neighbor bought a pair of stone lions. He couldn’t get them down no matter what, but Elijah just pic
Children have no sense of good and evil. Elijah, born with an inherently sinister appearance, was abandoned by his parents and didn’t understand what he should or shouldn’t do.Rather than saying that Mrs. Milton took him in, it would be more accurate to say that he was convinced by Amelia and stayed in the traditional medicine shop.Over the past three years, after being around herbs for so long, his appearance had improved significantly. He looked fair, clean, and harmless. However, there is an old saying that chaos is born from evil… anyone who caught his eye would end up shedding a layer of skin.Amelia sat in the small courtyard, her fingers still idly playing with a locust flower, her smile calm and unhurried.Late at night, at the Adler family’s old residence, Madam Adler was still lying in bed, recovering from the shock she had suffered.A number of medical students had gathered downstairs, most of them being apprentices Madam Adler had taken in. They were eager to show their
Madam Adler clearly misunderstood. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at the medical book. "Mary, you really can be trusted with matters like this. With these two items, curing Young Master Jenkins’s illness is just a matter of time!""Really?" Mary was overjoyed. "When can we meet Young Master Jenkins? I mean, Madam Adler, could you take me to meet him? You know, the Jenkins family only invites medical families. Neither our Milton family nor the Crawford family has any connections in this area."Now that she had the the Heart Herb, Madam Adler’s energy seemed to wane. "Of course, we all have to go. Once we cure Young Master Jenkins, I will personally recommend you to the Jenkins family."Mary, hearing this, became even more excited and rushed to flatter Madam Adler.Mia, however, stood aside, not saying much, with her head lowered, lost in her own thoughts.Madam Adler didn’t care about her intentions. After all, it was just a missed opportunity with the Cromwell family. Once they cured
Amelia lifted her gaze, following the sound.On the hospital bed, Grandpa Cromwell had already woken up. His eyes didn’t have the weariness typical of old age, but instead carried a calm, composed air.It was the aura of someone who had weathered the ups and downs of the business world—a presence not everyone could possess.Even though he was still recovering, his tone revealed a subtle authority. In terms of temperament, even ten Jacksons would likely fall short compared to this elderly man.Although Grandpa Cromwell wasn’t fully healed, his composure was evident, and his sharp gaze softened when it landed on Amelia.Aside from Grandpa Cromwell, the handsome patient from yesterday was also present.He was sitting at the bedside, his long legs crossed, not wearing a suit, giving off an air of sickly beauty. His hands rested on his knees, slender and pale, with pronounced joints.It seemed like he was playing chess with Grandpa Cromwell, and upon seeing Amelia, he slightly curled his l
When Carl referred to "being one of us," Grandpa Cromwell found it quite strange. "Since when did you start considering anyone one of your own?""Grandpa Cromwell, right now, just like you, my life is in the little miracle doctor's hands." Carl flicked his sleeve with a nonchalant gesture. "Naturally, I must know my place."Grandpa Cromwell couldn't tell if he was being sincere or not.This young man from the Jenkins family was always secretive and elusive. On the surface, he appeared frail and sickly, but in reality, he had many hidden depths.Grandpa Cromwell had also considered whether his decision to arrange a marriage between Carl and Little Seven years ago had been right.To be honest, the boy was flawless in appearance—none of the young women in their circle could resist him.But no matter what, he couldn’t give up on his own Little Seven. He couldn’t allow this young man to back out of the marriage!"So, does that mean your illness can be cured?" Grandpa Cromwell snorted coldl
"Detox points," Amelia explained.Unlike in emergency situations, today she had only inserted three needles into Grandpa Cromwell, each one leaving him feeling unfulfilled, as though there was more to come. The sensation was extraordinary!It felt as though his entire body, once clogged and sluggish, had been cleared out. He felt younger, lighter, and more energized than he had in years!Grandpa Cromwell looked at her with newfound respect. "Truly, a genius among the young! Little miracle doctor, you're still so young and already possess such skill. Chinese medicine will never decline with talents like you rising.""That's thanks to the elders at home," Amelia replied, placing her palm on his back. As she spoke, her hand gently pressed down.Before Grandpa Cromwell could react, he heard a muffled crack."This... Is this... bone setting?" He turned his gaze to her, puzzled.Amelia nodded. "Yes. When I inserted the needles earlier, I noticed a slight protrusion in your thoracic vertebra
What Amelia didn’t know was that after her older brother’s visit yesterday, he had spread the word about her “poverty” to everyone, and now everyone knew.She raised an eyebrow in confusion at Carl. "I haven’t even treated you yet, so why would I accept a fee?"“The medicinal candy from yesterday,” Carl said, signaling to James to step forward.James had been meaning to ask when the little miracle doctor would treat their young master. He raised his hands, holding out another card—this one black, with gold embossing. "Little miracle doctor.""I’ll accept it after I treat your young master," Amelia said, packing away her medical kit.James thought she was about to leave. "Little miracle doctor, what are you doing?""Packing up," Amelia replied, puzzled. "What’s the matter?"James blushed. "You haven’t treated our young master yet.""He?" Amelia walked up to Carl. "Are you in a hurry?"Carl’s voice was soft and pleasant, "I’m watching you."Amelia hummed thoughtfully, then said, "Alrigh
"New York was once dominated by the Jenkins family, a prominent family that had been in power for centuries. They were known for their luxurious lifestyle and were the owners of the most well-known landmarks that you can name. These landmarks were possibly their private residences in the past. The girl with glasses sighed and said, 'You guys really have no idea. You can look it up. The Jenkins family's business empire spanned the globe. It would be a piece of cake for them to make the Remington family go bankrupt.'"Upon hearing this, the voices of some people became mute: "What do you mean, are you saying that he..."The Jenkins family's wealth, up until now, could not be estimated by anyone, after all, the Jenkins family had once donated antiques worth billions to the museum in their personal name.After the girl wearing glasses finished her popular science lecture, she looked at the man and said, "Mr. Jenkins from the Jenkins family, the prince of New York."Carl did not deny his i
He even, as soon as he saw the call, complained to the other side, "Dad, this time you must stand up for me, someone is looking down on us...""Where were you!"Before he could finish speaking, a burst of angry roars came from the other side.William's hand trembled: "Dad...""Don't call me dad! I'm asking you! Where are you?" Daniel was going crazy on the other end!William also realized something was wrong: "I, I was just at a fondue restaurant.""You idiot!"Daniel covered his chest and said, "How did I give birth to such a useless troublemaker like you! The good things you did! The entire Remington family is finished!"The sound was so loud that all the classmates following William could hear it."What on earth did you offend someone! Tell me! You useless wastrel!"Daniel also received a sudden phone call.Not just one phone, but countless ones.Over the years, all the shady business conducted by the Remington family has been investigated.It was a matter of a moment; the other pa
"Dark history, don't dig it up." Amelia tapped his wrist, "He's talking to you, show some respect."Amelia thought it was simple, quickly dismissing the person. This face didn't look good, and it affected her mood when she looked at it.Carl seemed obedient, lazily raising his gaze and saying, "I don't know what consequences offending the Remington family would have, but I do know what consequences the Remington family would have.""It was really hilarious! You were just a little gigolo raised by Amelia, bragging in front of us!" shouted a boy.At that time, Mia also felt that this man was nothing special, having a good-looking face but not being able to provide food.Moreover, he dared to embarrass her like that!Amelia burst into laughter after hearing the other person's words: "Pretty boy? You're right, this classmate. If he were to work at a nightclub, his face alone would be worth at least a hundred thousand, no, wait, two hundred thousand."Carl could let Amelia make a fuss, he
Even if the bodyguards of the Jenkins family didn't show their faces, they would still have a hidden expert in the background.Before this group of people could even say a word, William's roommate was already knocked down to the ground.A group of students were confused, paused for a moment, and then started making a lot of noise.Roger was also annoyed and was about to kick someone out.At that moment, a clear, low and deep voice slowly came over."Let them in."The bodyguard made way.At that moment, a group of students finally saw the man's appearance.With exquisitely refined facial features and a tall and graceful figure, he sat on a sandalwood chair. His deep black eyes were as profound as a well. Although he was dressed in a shirt and trousers, it perfectly matched the surroundings.As if he were a ruler from ancient times, even when he raised his gaze, it carried a profound meaning. He was elegant and outstanding, like a bright moon and a gentle breeze.Most strikingly, the cr
Roger's expression deeply hurt Mia's self-esteem."Enough!" Mia didn't want to fall any further over a bottle of wine. "It's just a misunderstanding, let William swipe the card."She looked at William, with other emotions in her eyes.They were a kind of people, and the other party definitely understood. If this continued, it would escalate and only bring disgrace to the Remington family.Back at school, the young master of the Remington family, couldn't even afford a bottle of wine, let alone anything else. There's no need to say more, he wanted to go to New York!William understood what she meant and gritted his teeth, not completely confused. "Bring that machine over here."The restaurant manager approached him.William's hand was tightly clenched around the card, showing how painful it was.However, forget it, he can always ask his father again."Sorry, sir. Your card didn't work, it should have been due to insufficient balance."Insufficient balance?!These four words made Willia
At that moment, she stood there, her hands slightly clenched.Indeed, the tobacco and alcohol taxes were already high, and looking at the tax money, these students were a bit at a loss.But if we are talking about who felt the most upset, it was definitely William.Drinking one million seven hundred thousand bottles of wine? That would be enough for him to buy a cool new car!William was reluctant, and the meat in his mouth was a bit sore from biting. He looked at his roommate, who was already stunned, and gestured for his roommate to speak.My roommate's eyes drifted away, and he didn't catch on to what he was saying.William hated the other person now. How did this guy instigate him just now? Now he doesn't even say a word. It turns out he is the one being taken advantage of!The private room was quiet.Roger reminded, "Sir?"William still wanted to save face, so he tugged at Roger's sleeve and said, "Why is this wine so expensive?""Expensive?" Roger smiled, "Sir, didn't you just s
Roger wore white gloves and once again examined the red wine: "Unopened, temperature, origin, year."After speaking, he took a corkscrew and skillfully pulled out the cork without dropping any wood shavings. In order to maintain the taste of the red wine, even each wine glass was slightly chilled.Even the hangover cure has been treated, with gold trim and half a bottle of red wine poured in, emitting a faint scent of alcohol.These people had never drunk red wine like this before.I have been to a nightclub before, ordering a mix of foreign liquor and green tea to drink. It cost nearly ten thousand.But looking at the boss and the manager, they leisurely poured them drinks, and specially pushed them over, the luxurious tall glasses were shining, making them all feel superior!"It is all thanks to William that we were able to drink such good wine. Come, let's cheers!"William's roommate was also amazing.The restaurant managers all wanted to laugh.William pretended to shake the tall
Little did Roger know that as soon as he uttered these words.William's roommate spoke up, "How expensive can a bottle of wine be? It's nothing to William, really."He said this sentence was just to save face for William.William was not good at speaking, he always took the lead.Upon hearing the words, everyone from LA's Association of New York turned their gaze towards William.They all knew that William came from a wealthy family, and they had seen his lavish lifestyle before. Today, they were even more excited and looking forward to it.The wine personally delivered by the boss, at the very least, cost tens of thousands.They had never drunk such expensive wine before.After all, since I hadn't graduated yet, my financial situation relied on my family.Academic excellence does not mean that people do not engage in comparison.Out of eight or nine people, two of them wanted to persuade William, but they thought it was unnecessary.Students, they are all financially supported by the
Just the year is indeed particular, it was specially chosen by Roger: "Ms. Cromwell, this bottle of red wine has a good symbolism and a smooth taste, it won't be too astringent. When Mr. Jenkins first brought you here, I took the initiative to choose it, not wanting the other side to send it, nor wanting to accept your money. The two of you are about to have a happy event, and I want to celebrate it."It was definitely not to please her that Amelia knew this was said to her, in fact, it was to build a relationship with Carl.Roger was indeed good at doing business.Carl also stood up at this moment, his hand caressing the bottle of red wine. "Mr. Cortez, thank you, I will take the wine. Amelia and I are having an engagement banquet, and you must come.""I definitely came! Definitely came!" Roger exclaimed excitedly.Carl laughed and then spoke, "I see that my fiancée also wants to have a drink from the opposite side, so I'll trouble Mr. Cortez to pick another bottle. The quality doesn
