Chapter 9

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.

Chapter 10

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.

Chapter 11

I didn't say anything for a long time, but Clayton just stood there and looked at me with a smile.

Seeing this, I smiled too. "To tell you the truth, I'm here to treat Felton. The friend said that the Sharp family will sell it at half price of its incense making materials to the doctor who will cure old master. But now the Felton just woke up, and the specific situation is not clear. I don't think I can talk to the Sharp family about the payment. At least, I have to wait until he gets better."

Clayton smiled, "Aimee, it's already a big surprise for us that my grandfather can wake up. As for the follow-up treatment, I absolutely trust you. So now you have a reason to talk to me about the payment."

I didn't expect him to trust me so much. I was stunned for a while before I turned around and sat down on the sofa.

"You are introduced by Mr. Finger. When Mr. Finger came to make a diagnosis for old master, he once mentioned the condition of the research institute to me. But later, he said that he could do nothing, so the matter could only be put aside."

Clayton explained, "now he recommended you here. I guess it must have something to do with the Research Institute. Am I right?" I nodded slightly and calmly introduced the current situation of the research institute to him.

"You know, our research focus is on curing incense, and most of the materials used to make incense are herbs medicine. We have several projects now, and due to the lack of medicinal materials, our research progress has been stagnant. We are looking for the supplier of medicinal materials that we can cooperate with, but we are refused by several suppliers of materials in River City. Helplessly, Dexter thought of the situation in the Sharp family, and thought that I could have a try."

After saying that, I looked at Clayton seriously and explained seriously, "of course, in the case of Mr. Sharp, even without the reward of the Sharp family, I will try my best to treat him. The reward is just an opportunity."

Clayton looked at her and said, "I'm sorry for my previous doubts. You're a good doctor."

I took it calmly and stared at him, waiting for him to mention about the medicinal materials.

After he got to know the situation, he went straight to the point.

"After your treatment, my grandfather finally woke up, so I will ask you to do me a favor in the future. As for the reward that the Sharp family promised before, I can also decide for you. First, I will provide a batch of free materials to your research institute. This batch is our thank-you gift. In addition, the Sharp family will sign a long-term contract with your research institute, and after that, all the medicinal materials will be sold at half price."

Hearing this, I gradually understood.

After seeing old master wake up under my treatment, Clayton completely believed that I could cure old master.

And he offered a free supply. It could be said to be a thank-you gift, or it could be said that Clayton reassured me.

With this batch of herbs, I can solve the pressing problem in the Research Institute. During this period of time, I can also treat old master without any distraction.

I have to admit that Clayton's proposal makes me moved.

"Okay, don't worry. I will try my best to treat old master."

"

Clayton smiled and said, "since you said so, I'm relieved. I'll get the contract ready tomorrow. You just need to sign it."

I nodded.

After discussing the payment, I drove away.

When I got home, it was already late at night.

Daphne and the two kids were playing Lego in the living room.

Seeing me back, the three of them put down the Lego in their hands, and stood up to welcome me.

"Mommy!"

The two kids threw themselves into my arms intimately and asked with concern, "why do you come back so late? We are both sleepy."

After saying that, they squinted and yawned.

I touched their heads with a smile and said, "sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Then I raised my head to thank Daphne.

Daphne understood and waved her hand. "Don't be so formal with me. These two are my godsons and goddaughters. But you came back so late. Have you had dinner yet?"

I shook my head. "I'm a little busy. I haven't had time to eat yet."

Just now, I was busy treating Felton and discussing with Clayton about the supply of medicinal materials, but I didn't feel anything.

Now I feel a little hungry when my friend mentioned it.

Daphne gave me a helpless look and said, "I knew you would be like this when you were busy. We have prepared some dinner for you. Go and have some."

The two kids also urged me to eat.

I felt warm in my heart. Two kids pushed me to sit at the table and ate something.

Daphne was with the two kids.

Seeing that I almost finished eating, Daphne asked with concern, "how's the patient going since you came back so late today?"

I nodded with a smile. "The patient's condition is really serious, but I think I'm sure I can cure it."

Moreover, I can also successfully solve the problem of the supply of medicinal materials in the Research Institute.

Thinking of this, I feel very happy.

Daphne said with certainty, "if you say you are confident, then it must be cured. I believe you!"

After a short chat, it was getting late. Daphne said goodbye and left.

The two little guys followed me around the room like two little tails.

I didn't have time to care about them until I cleaned up for a while.

"Are you happy in the kindergarten today? Did you have a fight with the children?"

The two kids thought about it carefully and nodded vigorously. "Yes, we had a good time. The children gave us a lot of snacks after school today!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing, "you are so popular?"

Cyrus nodded solemnly, looked at Aviva and said, "there's a boy who said he would marry me when he grows up!"

"Really?"

I looked at my daughter with amusement.

"

Aviva was stunned for a while. Then she looked at her brother with a straight face and blushed. "Yes, there is one, but I didn't promise him."

Cyrus pinched her ears and made a face at Aviva

When I saw the two kids playing, my face was full of smile.

Although it's getting late, the two kids still pestered me and told me something interesting about the kindergarten for a long time.

Most of the time, Cyrus would say a long story and Aviva would make a summary.

I also listened carefully and laughed from time to time because of their cute looks.

"Go to bed now. You have to go to the kindergarten tomorrow!"

I stopped smiling and urged the two kids to go upstairs to have a rest.

The two stopped talking obediently and went upstairs to have a rest.

The second morning, I sent them to the kindergarten and drove to the Research Institute.

After the morning meeting, I came out of the meeting room with Dexter.

"How's everything going with Felton yesterday? Do you have any idea?"

Dexter asked with concern.

I nodded slightly and said, "old master's condition seems to be very serious, and it's a little difficult to treat, but it's not impossible to solve it. It's just that the treatment cycle will be longer, and I should go there frequently these days. Thank you for taking care of the work."

Dexter teased, "I didn't expect that the Sharp family has invited many famous doctors, but they are all helpless. It won't be so difficult for you to deal with it. Aimee, what you said makes us feel ashamed!"

"It's just a domain I'm familiar with,"

"By the way, although the Felton hasn't fully recovered, the Sharp family has agreed to provide us with medicinal materials. We should be able to sign the contract today. Moreover, the first batch is free supply, which can solve our pressing needs. After that, we don't have to worry about the incense making materials anymore."

Then I mentioned the supply of herbs. Thinking of this, my face was full of smile.

Dexter raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Really? The Sharp family is willing to sign a contract with us as soon as Felton wakes up?"

I nodded with a smile.

"It seems that they have been convinced by your medical skills. You are the best."

"I just did something within my ability. I hope there won't be any accident to old master's condition,"

"With your help, everything will be fine." Dexter said firmly.

Considering that Daphne had helped me keep the baby for two days.

In the morning, I finished my work and went to the Sharp mansion in the afternoon. I thought I could pick up the two kids by myself in the evening.

In the Sharp's mansion, I checked the condition of Felton and confirmed that there was no accident. Then I continued the treatment process and made incense for old master.

After making the incense, Clayton came in with a document in her hand. "Aimee, here is the contract. Please have a look at it. If there is no problem, you can sign it."

This is what we agreed last night. I was not surprised. I took it over and read it carefully and signed my name on it.

After signing the contract, Clayton became more friendly to me. "From now on, we are partners. But I still need you to take care of my grandfather."

I nodded, "that's what I should do."

I chatted with him for a while. Although I tried my best to calculate the time, it was past the kindergarten's end time when I finished packing.

I got up and drove to the kindergarten to pick up the two kids.

I didn't tell them that I would be late today. I don't know if the two kids will be anxious.

When I arrived at the kindergarten, it was empty. Almost all the children had left.

I looked around four times and saw two little guys on the small chair on the playground.

But I didn't see the accompanying teacher.

Seeing this, I was a little worried and quickly walked over.

"Mommy!" Seeing me, the two kids ran towards me happily.

I held one of them with one hand, touched their faces, squatted down and said, "Mommy is a little busy. I missed the time by accident. I'm sorry."

Aviva shook her head thoughtfully. "It doesn't matter. We're waiting for you in the kindergarten, and the teacher will be with us. Mommy, don't worry."

Cyrus nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, I looked at them in confusion. "Do you have a teacher with you?"

Aviva pointed to the corner of the playground.
