It appeared that the man was not the decision-maker. The owner of the Maybach was likely sitting in the back of the car.Amy instinctively looked over and saw a man dressed in a sharp black suit. His features were strikingly attractive. In addition, he had the charm and aura of nobility, which demanded attention. However, his lips were incredibly pale, and he looked somewhat frail. He was resting with his eyes closed. There was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses next to him. He appeared mature and calculating, but his face was filled with concern. “Lester, give this lady your business card. We’ll discuss the compensation later. Right now, we need to take Mr. Lewis to Dr. Hamlin. Let’s not waste time here,” he said. As they spoke, Amy approached the car and caught a whiff of blood emanating from inside. She frowned and guessed that the man inside must be injured. She could not help but take a second look. She could sense that this was not someone to be trifled with. In t
Amy felt defeated and burdened. She called a tow truck company and gave them her location before she contacted the traffic police. Soon, both parties arrived. They briefly inquired about the situation and learned that the matter had been settled privately. As such, the traffic police did not pursue it further. Amy felt a sense of loss as she watched her car being towed away. “Ms. Green, please come with me to the police station. You need to make a statement,” said the traffic officer as he approached. She nodded in agreement. Then, she took Night and Star by the hand and got into the police car. By the time everything was sorted and they got home, it was already evening. Meanwhile, Aiden’s car arrived at the Hamlin family’s pharmacy. The assistant, Nolan, was the first to get out and open the door. He and Lester then helped Aiden inside. Upon entering, he immediately asked the receptionist, “Where is Mr. Hamlin?” The receptionist quickly came forward and led them in. “M
Nolan was equally astonished, and he quickly inquired, “Mr. Hamlin, is there more of it? If so, we’d like to purchase as many as you have! It might lessen Mr. Lewis’s suffering.” Mr. Hamlin chuckled. “Do you think it’s readily available like cabbage? I already told you it’s rare.” “But…” Nolan was somewhat relentless as he clung to this sliver of hope. Mr. Hamlin explained, “The young lady who supplies us with medicinal herbs mentioned that she came across a few plants by chance. I asked her if there were more, but she said no.” The disappointment on Nolan’s face was evident. While Aiden remained composed, the expectant look in his eyes faded. His chronic condition had plagued him for many years. Despite seeking world-renowned physicians over the years, there was no hope for a complete cure. It merely prolonged his suffering. However, he found some relief with Mr. Hamlin. Aiden finally discovered the miraculous effects of these herbs. Naturally, he hoped to purchase more fo
Amy watered the medicinal plants and pruned the unnecessary branches and leaves meticulously. The whole thing took her over an hour to complete. It was completely dark by the time she allowed herself to take a break. These medicinal plants were incredibly precious. They were far more expensive than the ones she had provided to Mr. Hamlin during the day. Even those could already be sold at over twenty thousand dollars. If these seedlings were cultivated to maturity, they would be priceless. Wiping the sweat from her brow, Amy felt a bit more relaxed. She felt even better when she thought of the two little ones waiting for her at home. A gentle smile soon formed on her face. After packing up her tools and locking the garden gate, she headed home. Once she arrived home and pushed open the door, she found Night and Star wrapped in towels. They were playing chess with Mrs. Harper, while their two kittens—Rice Ball and Dumpling—were frolicking around excitedly. The scene was filled w
Amy was left alone in the hall, and she did not know whether to leave or stay. However, she immediately recognized the man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was one of the passengers from the car accident. As for the other man with the distinguished aura, she had detected the smell of blood from him. This along with the current situation suggested that Aiden had been the one inside the car. She knew at a glance that he was no ordinary person. Logically speaking, it was best that she left quickly. Yet, moved by a healer’s instinct to save lives, Amy could not just walk away. As she hesitated to go in, Nolan cried out in alarm, “Mr. Lewis!” So, without further thought, she stepped into the lounge. Upon entering, she was greeted with the strong scent of herbal medicine. An elegant and handsome man was lying on the bed unconscious. Based on his flushed cheeks, it was evident that he had an unnaturally high fever. Amy could tell that he had been feverish for quite some time. Nolan and
Amy replied helplessly, “You never asked before, so I didn’t mention it. But I do know some medical techniques.” After some consideration, she thought it was best to be humble about her skills. With that said, her incredibly skilled master had taught her a lot. She could handle common ailments without issue. Nolan furrowed his brows in skepticism. “How much is ‘some’? Miss Green, I can’t take risks with Mr. Lewis’s life—” Before he could finish, Amy interrupted him. “It would be too late by the time he gets to the hospital. His condition is deteriorating rapidly, and he could be on the brink of death. The nearest hospital is a half-hour drive from here. Moving him now could put him in grave danger.” Realizing that Amy had a point, Linda appeared solemn. “What do we do now? “Can you treat him, Miss Green? This is very serious.” Nolan did not speak as he gazed at Amy inquisitively. Amy sighed and responded candidly, “Medicine has its limits. No doctor can guarantee a cure for
Amy did not voice her thoughts as she considered them unnecessary. She simply withdrew her hand from Aiden’s wrist and turned to Linda. “Do you still have the herbal ointments and herbal pills I sold you?” Linda’s eyes lit up. “Yes! Miss Green, does this mean you can treat him?” Amy simply hummed in confirmation. However, Nolan still harbored doubts about her medical skills. “Miss Green, are you sure you can do this?” Amy was frustrated by his constant skepticism, and she gave him a look. “If I say I can do it, then I can! I’m the one treating him after all.” After this, Nolan did not comment further. Linda hurried upstairs and returned with a box densely filled with various ointments. “I might need some help,” Amy stated. Linda nodded. “Just tell us what to do.” Nolan remained quiet and did not raise any objections. “Alright. Linda, I need you to sterilize the wound,” Amy instructed. She then turned to Nolan. “Please help by undressing him. Leave his underpants on.”
Was it really that easy? Aiden’s illness was so severe. Could a pill, some ointment, and ten minutes really do the trick? Although Amy sounded confident, Nolan and Linda could not help but feel doubtful. However, they could only wait anxiously. There were several times where Nolan almost called the hospital. He was incredibly worried that something might happen to Aiden. He also did not know if he could fully trust Amy on this. In contrast, Amy was completely relaxed. Eventually, she started to observe Aiden again.Right then, she realized that he was so handsome it was unreal. He was pale from being unwell, but his features were still strikingly attractive. His eyebrows were sharply defined, and they gave him a valiant look. His nose was also straight and slender, which complemented his rosy lips. Although she could not see it clearly, she could tell that he had a slender yet strong physique. His muscles—toned and evenly sculpted—were undeniably appealing, and they r
