Chapter 14
“Yes, Mr. Milton, they specifically asked to see the fake young lady. They want to know her whereabouts now,” the butler, who had been the first to kick Amelia out earlier, reported.
Jackson thought about the shabby electric bike from earlier and felt a wave of irritation. “No wonder she didn’t want the money. She must think it’s too little and wants to cling to the Milton family!”
“This family really has no shame!” the butler growled. “I’ll go take care of this. I’m great at dealing with these clingy pests!”
Jackson, always thinking a few steps ahead, warned, “Just don’t make it too ugly. the Milton family has a reputation to
maintain.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” the butler assured him.
Jackson hung up the phone and continued inside to toast with the guests. In a little while, Mia would officially apprentice under the Adler family, and with their prestige in the medical world, she would inevitably get close to the Jenkins family. His career would then be smooth sailing.
At such a critical moment, how could he waste time dealing with Amelia’s poor relatives? Ridiculous!

That evening, Jackson never bothered to check on Manager Monroe, who had been sent to find the missing Amelia. That would go down as one of his biggest regrets in life!
In the evening, at Community Amelia had already started her free clinic, with people coming and going for treatment. She barely had time to drink water.
But since earlier, her phone had been ringing non–stop.
When Amelia finally opened her phone, there was a pile of messages waiting.
“Boss, why did you refuse the Jenkins family’s offer?”
“Boss, I told my family you’d be coming.”
“Boss, is something wrong? Are you okay?”
“Boss…”
Amelia, tired of the constant messages, took a moment to reply: “I went there. The security wouldn’t let me in.”
“Security?” Henry Hart, the eldest son of the Hart family, couldn’t believe it. His big matter had been thwarted by a mere security guard. He quickly lowered his tone: “Boss,

where are you? I’ll drive over and pick you up!”

Amelia took a sip of water. “No need, I’m at a free clinic. It’s inconvenient.”
Henry paced back and forth, anxious. “Boss, just do it for my sake and come back. Please, I beg you.”
“You know my rule, Henry. I don’t treat those who only seek personal gain.” After sending the message, Amelia switched off her phone.
She then looked up at the elderly man who had come for treatment. Her dark, beautiful eyes were full of calm. “What’s bothering you?”
The old man, dressed in simple clothes, looked like he was from the county, not someone from the community.
But everyone in the area knew that Amelia never asked about someone’s background. She treated anyone who showed up at her Sunday free clinic for free.
Amelia gently pressed on the elderly man’s shoulder area. “It’s a bit of cold damage, and your bones are slightly weakened. Sleeping in one position for too long can cause this. You should avoid sleeping with too high a pillow and move around more.”
“That’s it? I don’t need an X–ray?” The old man’s eyes widened.

“No surgery?”

“Why do you need surgery for a small issue?” Amelia laughed softly. “Stretch your arm out.”
The old man followed her instructions, still a little doubtful.
Amelia then grasped his arm and gently pressed certain acupuncture points, lifting his arm with precision.
Crack!
Before the old man could react, Amelia smiled. “Try it now.”
“It’s healed! It’s really healed!” The old man swung his arm, his face full of disbelief. “I can raise it now!”
The people in the community had long grown accustomed to Amelia’s miraculous medical skills.
But the old man’s eyes welled with tears. He tightly grasped Amelia’s hand. “Doctor, thank you! I’ve been to so many big hospitals, even Dr.Adler said I’d need surgery for my arm, but I’m from a small town and can’t afford it. I was thinking of just not treating it at all. I’m so lucky to have met you today! You‘ re truly a bodhisattva, saving people from suffering!”
