Penn's POV
Holding the resume tightly, I glanced at Aimee's face and said meaningfully, "now many people will make up the resume and go out to cheat. Mr. Sharp's physical condition is not optimistic. Don't be deceived by these people."
Then I opened her resume.
The school where Aimee had studied and the place where she worked were all caught my attention.
Over the years, Aimee's life gradually appeared in my mind.
Indeed, as she said, she had a good time abroad in the past few years. Every item in her resume was extremely beautiful and excellent, which was eye-catching.
I slowly closed the cover of her resume. "It looks like... It's true."
I glanced at Aimee coldly and suggested to Clayton, "but you'd better go to the Internet and check if there is really this person. After all, you can buy these certificates in your resume."
"I can buy the certificate, but I can't buy the incense making skill. When I check for old master, Mr. Carter will know whether I have the ability or not."
I didn't say anything. I just glanced at the angry Aimee.
"You know each other?" Erica asked with a frown.
Aimee answered without hesitation, "no, I don't know him. How could I know the superior Mr. Carter?"
Then she turned to look at Clayton and said, "Mr. Clayton, I'm here to make incense for Mr. Sharp. Can I go upstairs to have a look at him? I just know his situation today. Even if I can't make a suitable incense for him, I won't hurt him. Please let me go upstairs to have a look. If I can't cure him, I will have a clear estimation of myself and leave immediately. I won't disturb him again!"
I looked coldly at the serious woman, without saying a word.
Clayton nodded at Aimee and said, "thank you, Aimee. Please follow me."
I stood still and watched the three people disappear at the corner of the stairs.
Lundy tugged at my collar and wanted me to follow her.
I withdrew my sight from the corner of the stairs and looked down at the little guy in my arms. Then I pulled my lips and walked upstairs.
Aimee's POV
When I walked to the door of the room, I caught a glimpse of the man who suddenly appeared. My heart skipped a beat.
"Here we are." Clayton said in a low voice.
I quickly collected myself, forced myself to calm down and followed him into the room.
As soon as I entered, i smelled a strong smell of medicine.
I looked around the room and saw a big bed in the center of the room. Several people in white stood beside the bed. It seemed that the medical team was specially prepared for old master.
This room should be specially set up for Felton.
Just as the outsiders said, the Sharp family attached great importance to the condition of Felton.
Clayton took me to old master's bed and said, "Aimee, this way please."
I nodded and looked down at the person on the bed.
Felton lay weakly on the bed, with only bones left and sunken cheeks. He looked as if he is dying!
Seeing the scene in front of me, my face suddenly became serious and my eyebrows tightly twisted.
As Dexter had said, the situation of Felton was very serious.
I didn't dare to delay. After the observation, I immediately dignose him.
I thought the symptoms described by Dexter were serious enough.
But he didn't expect that the actual situation of Felton was even worse than he had described!
During the course of the diagnosis, I also noticed that old master's breath was very weak. It could be said that he was the last breath left!
After a while, with a serious look on my face, I let go of old master's hand, stood up and walked to Clayton and the others.
"Aimee, is there any result? How's my grandfather? Are you sure you can make the sleeping fragrance?"
I frowned and asked in a questioning tone, "why don't you send old master to the hospital since he is in such a serious condition? Why don't you make him a sleeping fragrance? He is dying, but you still keep him at home?"
Hearing what I said, the faces of Clayton and Erica and two changed instantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Erica glared at her angrily. "My grandfather just doesn't have a good rest. You are just a incense maker. You know some medical science at most. You can't compare with a professional doctor. Don't talk nonsense here. I told you to make the incense. If you don't have the ability, just say it. Don't curse my grandfather here!"
I looked at her with a cold face, " All the functions of your grandfather's body have begun to degenerate, and his resistance is also decreasing rapidly. Normally, in this kind of situation, the patient should be recuperating in time, but the medical team you hired is wantonly applying medicine to the patient regardless of the patient's physical condition. This is not a treatment, but burning his life!"
In the medical team, the leading doctor stepped forward and looked at me seriously. "Miss, you don't know the situation. Please don't make a rash judgment. Mr. Sharp's previous situation was very serious. If we hadn't given him the medicine in time, he wouldn't have been able to hold on till now. Please don't question our profession. Besides, we are invited by Miss Hunter. How could we hurt Mr. Sharp?"
I keenly captured the employer he mentioned.
Miss Hunter,Bonnie?
Miss Hunter, Bonnie?
This medical team was actually invited by Bonnie. Do you think I will be afraid of them with the support of Bonnie?
With a cold face, I retorted, "major? With all due respect, I didn't find out the specialty of your team. If you were a little professional, you wouldn't treat the patient like this!"
Erica's face changed slightly. She walked up to him and said, "you are so arrogant. So you are sure that you can cure my grandfather? If not, please don't talk nonsense here. Can you? Bonnie has introduced many good doctors to my grandfather over the years, and Penn has put a lot of effort into it. In the end, their efforts are all in vain here?"
With a slight frown between my eyebrows, I subconsciously glanced at the man next to me. When I saw his expressionless face, I immediately withdrew my sight and said calmly, "I'm just telling the truth. The truth is in front of us, and we should know it clearly."
"You!" Erica glared.
"Aimee, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. But I don't care about the previous treatment. I just want to know if you are sure to cure my grandfather. If you are, please start as soon as possible. After all, you have said that my grandfather's condition can't be delayed any longer."
Clayton looked at me sincerely.
"
Erica said with sarcasm, "yes. Aren't you very capable? Please start the treatment as soon as possible. I'm curious about your ability."
Ignoring her provocative words, I turned around and went back to the bed. "Now I'm going to start the treatment. Please prepare some medicinal materials for me, and then take off old master's clothes."
Clayton asked cautiously, "does it have to be done?"
I looked at him inexplicably. "I want to treat old master, and I need to make a kind of incense. Clothes are very inconvenient. Who can help me? Please hurry up."
Clayton hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth and strode over
Erica got anxious. "What kind of treatment is this? Why..."
I ignored her. Instead, I opened my bag and took out an ancient wooden box with some processed incense materials.
Soon, the medicinal materials I asked for were sent here. I thought for a while and began to mix the incense carefully.
In front of me, Clayton tried her best to lean Felton against him, one hand holding Felton's body, and the other hand taking off Felton's clothes with difficulty.
Soon, all old master's clothes were removed, and his skin, bones and body were exposed in front of everyone.
As I had expected, I ordered the two men in a low voice, "help Mr. Sharp steady."
Clayton nodded seriously.
I glanced at Penn, but he didn't respond or say anything. I took a deep breath and began to carefully light the incense.
A few minutes later, someone shouted in the room, "what are you doing? The grass crows and rhinoceros horns in the incense are against each other. Do you want to kill my grandfather?"
Erica said.
She pulled a long face, with panic and anger in her eyes
Then she gave me a hard push.
I also heard her doubts. I was thinking about what kind of fragrance I should make to force the congestion in Felton's body and the poison left in it, so I didn't take it seriously.
But I didn't expect that Erica would rush over.
Caught off guard, I was pushed by her and fell to the side unsteadily.
In the end, i almost bumped into Penn's arms.
Before I could react, someone held me on the waist and barely stabilized me.
As soon as I raised my head, I saw Penn's dim eyes.
When the four eyes met, my body stiffened imperceptibly. Then I quickly looked away and sat down with the help of the bed.
"How dare you say that you can point out the fragrance of curing many knotty diseases? Is this your research result? I think you bought those certificates!"
Erica glared at Clayton. "Brother, I think she is a liar. Get her out of here right now!"
Hearing this, I pulled myself out of the trance and replied sarcastically, "no wonder Felton has become like this. It turns out that someone has been deliberately stopping old master's treatment. Since Miss Erica insists, forget it. Just forget it.Pretend I haven't been here today."
Then I put away my incense making materials.
Clayton was in a daze for a few seconds before she came to her senses. She hurriedly said, "Aimee, I'm really sorry. To be honest with you, our family is a medical family and we don't know much about medicinal materials. The reason why my sister is so angry is that she is worried about grandpa when she sees some medicinal materials in your mixture are in danger. Please don't lower yourself to the same level as her."
Without raising my head, I continued, "I don't need to be bullied here because of an ignorant person. I came here to treat old master with sincerity today. Since Miss Erica doesn't trust me, then forget it!"
I took the medicine box and walked towards the door.
Clayton stood up and caught up with her. "Aimee, if you have anything to say, we can have a good talk. My sister has gone too far. I'll ask her to apologize to you in person. Please continue to treat my grandfather."
"No, thanks. I can't accept Miss Erica's apology." My tone is cold and hard.
Suddenly, Lundy walked over with her short legs. he picked up his notebook, wrote a few words on it angrily, and then raised it in front of Erica.
Everyone noticed the sudden appearance of the little guy, and their eyes were also attracted by the big words on his notebook.
"Apologize!"
Lundy looked at Erica eagerly.
Erica's eyes wandered for a while, pretending not to see Lundy. She turned to Clayton and said, "brother, we can find another incense maker. I really don't believe this person."
Seeing that she was still stubborn, I smiled sarcastically at Erica. "Then I wish Miss Erica can find a good doctor before the Felton passes out."
Then i turned around and left.
As soon as I took a step forward, my wrist was grabbed.
I frowned slightly and turned my head unhappily.
As a result, Penn's expressionless handsome face appeared in front of me.
My heart was filled with astonishment.
What did he mean?
But Penn just glanced at me, grabbed my wrist and turned around. He looked at Erica coldly and said, "apologize."
Erica was stunned. "Penn, what... What did you say?"
Penn looked at her condescendingly, full of pressure. "At present, Mr. Sharp is in a critical condition. You have invited all famous doctors at home and abroad, claiming that he is just physically weak because of poor rest. But the worse he is treated, the worse it means that those doctors have not found the cause of Mr. Sharp at all."
He glanced at me and continued, "Miss Miller and the Sharp family are neither relatives nor friends. She specially come to treat your grandfather. You can't trust her, but you have no reason to hurt her. Is this how The Sharp family taught you? Apologize to her immediately!"
Clayton also pulled a long face and said to Erica, "Erica, Penn is right. Apologize to Aimee right now! No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't have hit others! You are too impulsive!"
Erica gritted her teeth and hesitated for a long time. Then she lowered her head reluctantly and said, "I'm sorry, Aimee. I'm really impulsive. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have hit you."
She apologized in a stiff tone.
I don't want to talk to him at all. At the same time, I look at the man in front of me absentmindedly.
What on earth did he want to do?
Why did you help me again?
For Mr Before Sharp's treatment, it was this man who made things difficult for me; Help Mr When Sharp was receiving treatment, the man who helped was also him; Now I'm questioned and it's him who stands up for me.
I find that I really can't see through him
"Aimee, Erica has already realized her fault. I don't expect you to forgive her so soon. But as you said, my grandfather's situation is very urgent. Can you treat him first? After that, how do you want to apologize? We can talk in detail."
Clayton's voice came to my ears.
Although I was angry at his words, I suppressed my displeasure when I thought of the situation in the Research Institute.
Besides, Clayton was right. old master was innocent. He was just a patient in urgent need of treatment.
Thinking of this, I calmed down. I glanced at the people in the room and said coldly, "I don't want to be disturbed by irrelevant people, including Miss Erica."
Erica's face darkened.
Clayton agreed immediately and asked the others to leave.
There were only Clayton and Penn left in the room, and Lundy, who couldn't live without her father. Then I sat down by the bed and made the following incense.
This time, no one disturbed me. The process of making the incense is much smoother.
After a while, the incense was ready.
I slowly lit the incense.
After that, I focused on old master without blinking my eyes.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Five or six minutes later, old master frowned in pain and vomited a pool of black blood.
After spitting out the blood, his pale face turned a little reddish and his breath became smooth.
Seeing this, I looked a little relaxed.
"That's enough. Just let old master smell there. Half an hour later, the incense will be finished."
I looked up at the two people beside the bed.
Clayton heaved a long sigh of relief. She carefully let Felton lean against the headboard and asked, "when will my grandfather wake up?"
"he will wake up when the incense is burnt finished."
I stood up and wanted to wipe my sweat with a tissue.
As soon as I reached out her hand to the paper box, the corner of my clothes was pulled carefully.
I stopped and lowered my head in confusion. I met Lundy's bright eyes.
Although I know it's Penn and other people's child, I still can't be cruel to look at this cute little face like an angel.
Seeing me looking at her, Lundy lowered his head and took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his pocket. he stood on tiptoe and raised it in front of me, his eyes full of expectation.
I hesitated for a few seconds and finally smiled at him. "Thank you."
Then I took the handkerchief from the little guy.
Lundy smiled happily and went to get me some water.
Clayton said in surprise, "Aimee, it seems that Lundy likes you very much. It's the first time I've seen Lundy so close to someone!"
I couldn't help but be a little stunned. A moment later, I looked at Penn with some misgivings.
I didn't tell you that Lundy got lost last time.
But it couldn't be hiden from this man.
Thinking of this, I hesitated and said, "maybe... It's because I helped him before. Last time he got lost and I picked him up."
Clayton looked at Lundy and then at me, sighing, "what a coincidence!"
Was it fate?
Thinking of Lundy's identity, I smiled with self mockery and looked up indifferently. "Maybe."
Clayton didn't notice that. She stood up and suggested, "since my grandfather still needs half an hour, why don't we wait downstairs and have some water by the way? Thank you, Aimee."
Seeing that he changed the topic, I was inexplicably relieved and agreed.
I turned around to take my phone from my bag and saw the caller ID. It was Daphne.
Tonight, because I'm going to the Sharp family to attend the appointment, I handed the two kids to my best friends
When I saw her call, I thought something happened to the two kids, so I answered the phone in a hurry.
When I touched the screen, I accidentally touched the speaker.
The next second, two soft and cute voices resounded through the air, "Mommy, when will you come back?"
I was startled. I quickly covered the speaker and turned it off.
The sound of the two disappeared.
Even so, I still felt that my heart was beating fast. I was so nervous that I subconsciously glanced at Penn beside me.
My first reaction is that I'm afraid that Penn will know the existence of the two babies.
Penn's face was as dark as a pan, and his eyes were even colder.
Clayton smiled and said, "Aimee, are you married?"
I was in a mess and nodded casually.
Clayton sighed with a smile, "I can't believe that you even have a child."
"I'm sorry. I have to go out and answer the phone."
Then I walked out of the room without looking back at Penn.
When I came out of the room, I carefully lowered my voice and said to the two children on the other end of the line, "good girl, Mommy is still treating the patient. I have to go back later. You can play with godmother for a while."
The two kids agreed obediently.
Penn's POV
Lundy tried to grab Aimee's hand but failed. The word "mommy" repeated in my mind
No wonder she was so cold when I saw Lundy.
It turned out that this woman had been married and even had a child with another man!
That was why she abandoned her child!
I looked down at my son who was still standing there.
It was hard to hide the disappointment on the little guy's face, but when he saw the woman go out, he still raised his eyes and stared at the door, waiting for her to come back.
This scene stung my heart.
So what if she came back? That woman still wouldn't want a child!
I strode to Lundy and bent over to pick him up.
Lundy looked at me blankly and tugged at my collar to show that he didn't want to be held by me.
But I pretended that I didn't notice it. I said to Clayton coldly, "it's getting late. I'll take Lundy back first. If Mr. Sharp wakes up, tell me and I'll come to see him another day."
After saying that, he strode away with Lundy in his arms before Clayton could react.
As soon as they got into the car, Lundy anxiously wrote a series of words on his notebook and tugged at the corner of my clothes.
"I haven't talked to Auntie yet. Let's not go, okay?"
My heart was in a mess and I frowned slightly.
With concern in her eyes, Lundy wrote, "what's wrong with daddy? Why are you unhappy?
"What do you want to say to her? You'd better pretend that you don't know her and don't have any contact with her."
Since that woman doesn't want to admit her son, I will just do as she wishes!
Lundy was stunned for a few seconds before he reluctantly curled his lips and wrote on the notebook, "why?
Before I could answer, he quickly wrote, "I like Auntie very much. She is very nice and gentle to me. I want to be with her!"
The little boy's straightforward love made me feel sorry for him, but I had to face the reality. I said expressionlessly, "because she has her own child. She doesn't need to have one more child."
Lundy's eyes were full of confusion.
Seeing the little guy quiet down, I ordered my assistant to start the car and leave the Sharp's mansion.
On the way, my clothes were pulled.
I frowned and looked over.
"Then where is my mommy?"
Lundy looked at me with grievance and confusion.
The words stung my eyes. I looked away awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.
Lundy asked me where his mother was.
I do know the answer.
But how could I tell him this cruel fact?
That woman had already had a new family. Even if her own son was in front of her, she had never thought of recognizing him
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I didn't say anything for a long time.
Looking at Lundy, who had been looking at me eagerly, I gritted my teeth and said unhappily, "I don't know. I don't know where she is. Don't ask this question again! It's enough that you have a daddy. You don't need Mommy!"
Lundy looked at me blankly for a few seconds before she slowly put away her notebook and lowered her head without saying anything.
He didn't talk to me until we got home.
Aimee's POV
After the phone call, I saw Penn leave with Lundy in his arms.
Clayton and I talked about Felton's condition for a while. It was about time for us to go to Felton's room. Erica followed them.
After the incense was burnt out, I checked the pulse of Felton and began to pack up my tools calmly.
Clayton and Erica two stood beside the bed, looking worried.
Soon, Felton's fingers curled up slightly.
The next second, Felton opened his eyes slowly and coughed weakly, frowning.
"Grandpa!"
Clayton quickly sat down and comforted old master. His eyes were full of shock and joy.
Erica was too shocked to speak.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Clayton asked with concern when Felton stopped coughing.
Felton nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "how long have I slept?"
Seeing that they were so excited, I packed up my things and walked over. "Mr. Sharp is in a bad condition now. It's not appropriate to talk too much. Let him have a good rest."
Hearing this, Clayton nodded and carefully let old master lie down.
Then he stood up and thanked me, "Aimee, thank you so much. We suspected you before. I apologize for our ignorance. It's our fault. We are short-sighted."
I took it calmly and then turned to warn him, "i old master's health is still not looking good. If he wants to completely recover, he needs to be treated at least six or seven times."
Clayton nodded repeatedly.
"In addition, I will make some other incense for old master to help him recover. After all, old master's health condition is too serious. Later treatment requires some physical strength, and I'm afraid he can't hold on."
I continued.
Clayton nodded and said, "don't worry. We will listen to you and cooperate with you in the treatment of my grandfather!"
I nodded slightly and said to Clayton, "I'll make the incense and send it to you later. You can have a lavender at noon and at night every day."
Then I picked up a pen and paper and wrote a prescription for him. "Take ten sets of the prescription back according to the amount of this prescription. Put them in the soup or porridge every day to cook, and make them into medicinal meals. Feed old master on time. It can speed up the recovery of old master."
Clayton replied, "Okay, we will abide by our will!"
Thinking that there were still two kids waiting at home, I stood up and said, "it's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll come back tomorrow. During this period, if old master feels uncomfortable, you can contact me."
Then she walked towards the door with her bag.
Clayton stopped me and said, "Aimee, apart from treating my grandfather, is there anything else you want to do here?"
Hearing this, I stopped and suddenly thought of the purpose of my trip.
But Felton didn't fully recover,
Clayton slowed down and said slowly, "don't you want to talk before you leave?"
What Clayton meant was obvious.
Although I didn't mention the supply of materials, he was very clear about my purpose and even wanted to talk to me.
But I didn't dare to hesitate to accept the salary.
After all, the Sharp family once said that the Felton would be sold at half price only after the old master was cured.
