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

    The interior of the medicine shop looked much more reliable than its exterior.At first, James had worried that the place might be too dirty for their young master to even get treated. But now, looking around, he saw the clean, traditional layout—very much in the Chinese style. The central focus was a wooden medicine cabinet, and the space had an air of an old Beijing courtyard house, much like the apothecaries from ancient times.Carl, with his calm, indifferent gaze, scanned the surroundings, his eyes falling on a piece of calligraphy and painting. His fingers absentmindedly twirled the Buddhist beads around his wrist.Noticing his focus, Amelia walked over. “It’s a fake.”“Otherwise, would it be real?” Carl raised an eyebrow, an amused smile playing on his lips.Amelia’s eyes glimmered with mirth. “What if it is?”Carl didn’t speak further, continuing to gaze at the painting. His pupils deepened as he studied the image.The painting depicted a towering pine tree casting shade, with

    Divorce?Not only did the entire scene become quiet.Even Zane was dumbfounded in the local area."Divorce?" He stared at his wife with wide eyes, in disbelief: "You want to divorce me?"The education of the Molson family, he knew it better than anyone.How could someone raise a woman who would say divorce right away?Wasn't she always abiding by the rules?Can't we discuss it privately, even if there is something that can't be said in private? Do we have to embarrass him in front of everyone in the hall?Zane seemed as if he didn't recognize Ruby anymore, anger welled up in his eyes."You fell ill again!"Zane reached out to grab Ruby: "Come with me to the hospital!"Did you get sick?Did Mrs. Cromwell say she wanted a divorce, was she ill?Some people were still confused.Amelia had already grabbed Zane's wrist with a strong grip and said, "My mother considered it unfair to disclose those documents regarding the Cromwell Group's impact. If you're smart, you'll just leave on your own

    Who knew, Ruby affectionately held her hand and said, "Mrs. Campbell is right. As mothers, we shouldn't promote harm to children. But when someone wants to harm our children, we don't care about saving face. We won't let them get involved!"Octavia was being held by such a delicate and beautiful lady, and she was feeling a bit nervous. "Ah, yes," she said."Throughout, everyone believed that my condition could stabilize because my husband brought a child back." Ruby looked at Zane like this for the first time, almost seeing through him: "I, like everyone else, believed the same."Our love, everyone present, especially Mrs. Fisher, was a witness to Zane and me.Ruby would never let something go, especially if it was directed towards her.Just because she came back late, not a single person intended to let her daughter go.Is it just like those people online who used to criticize Sebastian?Her illness was constantly giving others the opportunity to attack her daughter.Ruby had origina

    "Our sister has always been Amelia, that's what I remember, and I have told you more than once.""Before, we were concerned that you were a girl, and we would publicly expose you, causing you to lose face.""But you repeatedly, in various ways, slandered Amelia to satisfy your vanity, intruding into things that don't belong to you. My father wanted to protect you, we are not the same.""If I couldn't even protect my own younger sister, I would change my last name!"Almost in an instant, the entire banquet erupted!Raiden was really cool, protecting his sister with great style.Ruby was the first to grab Amelia's hand, shining brightly like never before, not to be underestimated.It was as if telling everyone, if you want to bully my daughter, you have to ask the Molson family behind me if they are willing or not.Yes, Ruby was not only Mrs. Cromwell, but most importantly, she was the most favored young lady of the Molson family.No one dared to jump around, Trista's perception was sha

    "The water of the Cromwell family was so deep, it was a bit concerning, but it's strange that Mrs. Cromwell is fine, yet her husband never mentioned it."Yeah, it's strange.Zane, who was always doting on his wife, was completely unaware that his wife had already recovered.The people present were not stupid, in fact, each of them was very intelligent.The ladies hated men of this kind the most!Acting like they loved, but in reality, it was all bullshit!"I wonder now, why Zane insisted on adopting Abby, there must be something wrong."Zane, upon seeing the situation, desperately wanted to go back!In fact, when Ruby arrived, he wanted to take the opportunity to dominate the other party, just like before.But these three sons, they didn't leave him any space at all!"I was your father!"Zane growled angrily, completely losing his composure!Raiden chuckled, "You don't have to be, as long as my mom is happy, I can be her lawyer."This statement, almost revealed all the hidden cards.B

    When that familiar sound rang out.Everyone froze for a moment.No one expected Ruby to come, even on an occasion like today.After all, the scene of her last attendance at the banquet was still vivid in her mind.In the minds of the ladies, especially Paula, it was assumed that Zane would place the other person in the hospital, and he didn't really pay any attention to Ruby at the moment, so naturally no one asked about it.At this moment.She was wearing a wine-red mermaid evening gown, and as soon as she entered the banquet hall, she caught everyone's attention.Ruby was very fair, with a pair of clear black eyes, and time had left very few traces on her face.She was still as cold and noble, back in the day people used to say, she was a red rose from Chicago.Delicate and fiery, with a different temperament from Amelia, at first glance, it is indeed hard to imagine the two of them together.But when Ruby approached, every gesture and expression between her eyebrows and eyes were e

    I didn't expect that, as soon as the child opened his eyes, he spat at her, which disgusted her a lot!Now she has grown up, and she is even more annoying than before!The Cromwell family should not have brought her back!Paula thought fiercely, but her face was filled with guilt.She knew she had to say something, otherwise the reputation of the Fisher family would be ruined!So Paula cleverly called out to Zane, "Zane, could you please explain to the Fisher family for us that we, the Fisher family, really didn't mean it. Maverick has always reminded us not to forget the kindness of the Cromwell family.""I knew, I knew," Zane thought to himself again, wanting to be a good person. "Does anyone need to say anything about the relationship between the Fisher family and the Cromwell family? Amelia, she just came back and is overthinking things.""But Amanda, in the future, you should be more restrained," Zane appeared to be lecturing Amanda, but in reality, he was downplaying the situati

    When he spoke, everyone at the banquet felt that Amanda from the Fisher family had a problem.Amelia couldn't help but look up and glanced at Raiden.This output was too strong. If the Fisher family doesn't apologize, it would be publicly admitting that they lack manners. The Fisher family will only feel worse.Sure enough, Paula was getting impatient: "Raiden, it's all a misunderstanding."She said, and then she pressed Amanda again, "If you don't apologize today, never come back to the Fisher family!"As soon as Amanda heard this, she knew that the situation was serious.She was even a little scared because of her mother's expression, which didn't seem like a joke."Yes, I'm sorry." Amanda's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Amelia. She still felt a bit resentful, but she knew she couldn't show it anymore. She clenched her hands and half-bowed, saying, "I shouldn't have slandered you without knowing anything. I was wrong. Please forgive my ignorance and foolishness."Amel

    It was Raiden, he took off his inconspicuous coat and walked over from the corner.Compared to Benjamin and Sebastian, he looked more like a typical corporate elite. He wore a diamond wristwatch on his hand, styled his hair in a handsome slicked-back manner, and had a refined smile on his sharply defined face."Raiden!" Sebastian's eyes lit up.The people who started the company also made way at this time.After all, Raiden couldn't just be seen as the young master of the Cromwell family. He was too well-known in the political circles of Chicago.Being in their line of work, you can't offend any lawyer.Raiden only glanced at Sebastian and his gaze fell on Amelia. Unable to resist, he reached out and tousled Amelia's long hair. "Amelia is so amazing, she should have been praised, but instead, she received slander."Amelia felt a little uncomfortable when her head was touched.Originally prepared to speak, suddenly I didn't know what to say.Raiden, however, felt that this was the fami

    What else could Amanda say? She was already dumb now.If she could have restrained herself a little, not being so arrogant, perhaps there would still be room for negotiation now.Unfortunately, she spoke without thinking in front of a large crowd in the hall and managed to offend the Cromwell family completely!She also saw that the other party had been silent all along, thinking that she had a hold on the other party.Who knew this village girl would turn out to be Lamar?!Why didn't she say it earlier?Didn't she even understand the situation and deliberately let her make a scene to this extent! Should we clean up after her again?Amanda was startled by her own idea!She went to look at the person across the street seriously for the first time. Did she really not understand anything, as she thought, about the country bumpkin?There was no time left for her to ponder, marvel, and discuss, as they came one after another.Amanda finally became the center of attention at the party, but
