But Evelyn held herself back. Being sharp as ever, she would never openly reveal the crumbling state of the Adler family in front of everyone.
What she needed to do now was stabilize these smaller
families: “You’re right. Everyone knows how powerful the Adler family has been in the medical field these years. But on such a happy occasion, it’s bad luck to let this kind of thing get out.”
Jackson, being a businessman, felt that something about this situation was strange.
Mary, however, was worried that the apprenticeship might fall through, so she continued flattering Evelyn: “Of course! Master Adler has even won awards abroad! When she’s back in the country, she’ll cure everyone effortlessly!”
Evelyn didn’t mention that her award–winning drug analysis had been assisted by Serene Health Pavilion. She simply sighed, “Mary, we need to stay low. the Adler family has its flaws too. For example, in the treatment of Young Master Jenkins, we lacked a key herb, the Heart Herb. Otherwise, we wouldn’t need help from other families.”
“the Heart Herb?” Mia, with innocent curiosity, casually said, “Dad, I remember Grandma has quite a bit of Chinese

medicine, and even a book of prescriptions.”

Evelyn, surprised at her knowledge, asked, “Jackson, does the Milton family still have this?”
Jackson looked troubled, “Those are just old junk the old lady keeps. They’re nothing valuable.”
“Nothing valuable?” Mary scoffed. “That poor old woman treats them like treasures?”
Jackson pulled her aside, signaling her to be mindful of the
situation.
Evelyn, however, thought quickly and said, “Forget it. the Adler family doesn’t steal from others. But this invitation from the Jenkins family to treat Young Master Jenkins… we may not have enough…”
Upon hearing about the Jenkins family’s invitation, Mary immediately spoke up, “Master Adler, now that you’re Mia’s teacher, we’re family. We’ll make sure to send you the the Heart Herb and the book of prescriptions. Right, Jackson?”
Jackson, now resolute, nodded, “Yes, I’ll have someone deliver it to her this evening.”
“That’s wonderful,” Evelyn said, smiling brightly. “In one week, when we go to the Jenkins family for the consultation, Mia will come with me. With her beauty, maybe Young Master Jenkins

will take a liking to her…”
Take a liking to her?

Upon hearing this, Jackson completely lost his rationality. He was only focused on getting his hands on the the Heart Herb and didn’t care that it was from his own mother.
Mary was even more excited, patting Mia’s hand, “If it really happens like your Master says, you’ll be set for life! After all, it‘ s Young Master Jenkins!”
“Mom…” Mia shyly called out. “I’ll make sure to behave well when I go with my Master for the consultation.”
Young Master Jenkins, the heir to one of the top families in the city, was wealthy beyond measure. Who wouldn’t want to marry him?
the Milton family was clearly dreaming big.
Evelyn, who only moved for profit, was clearly just using them to get what she wanted–the the Heart Herb from the Milton family.
the Milton family had no idea they were chasing the wrong person to please. They were clearly blind.

As the sun began to set, Amelia was still focused on treating patients in the plaza. She had no idea that someone had set their sights on her grandmother’s medicine shop. After giving the elderly man some advice, she said, “Be sure to cut back on salt in your diet, and eat more fruits and vegetables when you get home. If anyone suggests surgery, don’t listen and don’t believe them.”
“Can I really go home now?” The elderly man asked
uncertainly. “No need for a few more courses of medicine?”
Amelia reassured him, “No need. The air in the countryside is good, it’s healing.”
After such a long day, the old man finally relaxed and even wiped away a tear as he left.
After finishing with her last patient, Amelia was about to pack up and close her medical kit when Manager Monroe, who had been watching for a while, hurriedly stopped her.
