Even though Gwen kept praising Jonathan now, she had trampled and disregarded him countless times in reality. Obviously, she was trying to say that Jonathan relied on his mentorâs fame to become famous in the country. If he went overseas, he could not survive at all.
At first, Janeâs grandmother was very impressed with Gwen, especially when Jane displayed her pile of certificates. She felt that besides obtaining a doctorate at such a young age, it was fantastic that Gwen had also made herself famous by relying on her medical skills to enter the international medical field and become an internationally renowned surgeon. Not to mention Gwen was as famous as the worldâs renowned neurologist, Joy. Gwen was so outstanding that even a grown woman like her admired and envied her. However, when she heard Gwen speaking sarcastically about Jonathan, she was immediately turned off.
Gwen was a capable lady, but unfortunately, she had a bad character. Janeâs grandmother had never gone abroad to study. Although she came from a prestigious family, she cared for her husband and children all her life and had not seen much of the world.
However, she had always believed that many of her ancestorâs words were true. People with good character and ability were the best. One would rather not have any capabilities and live a mediocre life if a personâs character was not good. Otherwise, they would only be a scourge. âPour some tea for Miss Raven, Janeâs grandmother said immediately when she saw that Gwen was still blabbering about the foreign medical field.
Secretly, she meant Gwenâs mouth must be dry from talking too much. When the maid heard her instructions, she immediately went to refill Gwenâs tea. However, Gwen had no self-awareness at all.
After taking the servantâs tea and thanking her politely, she gently took a sip and continued.
Jane listened with admiration and said at the right time, âGrandma, Gwenâs medical skills are superb.
She happened to come back to the country to participate in the Medical Conference. The Medical Conference hasnât started yet, so sheâs free these two days. Grandma, ask Gwen to perform acupuncture for you.â When Sandy heard that such an outstanding international doctor could help her mother-in-law recuperate, she immediately smiled and said, âThatâs great. Then weâll have to trouble you, Miss Raven. Mother, let Miss Ravenâ¦â Suddenly, Sean reached out and pulled Sandy. He frowned and signaled her not to speak. Sandy immediately fell silent. Janeâs grandmother said, âIâll take a nap first. Iâm tired.â
It was Gwen who belittled Jonathan first. Donât blame her for being rude if she didnât respect herself.
Putting aside the fact that Jonathanâs medical skills were renowned both domestically and overseas, Jonathan was in his early fifties. No matter what, he could be considered Gwenâs senior. Was it human for her to brazenly slander her senior behind his back?
It didnât matter if an ordinary person had a bad personality. but if a doctorâs character was bad, they could kill someone. âGrandma, let Gwen take your pulse first. It wonât take more than a few minutes.
After that, you can take a nap. She can also prescribe medicine for you,â Jane said.
âIâm sleepy. Sean, take good care of Miss Raven. Iâm going to take an afternoon nap.â Janeâs grandmother yawned as she walked to her room with her crutches. Why would she let Gwen perform acupuncture on her?
Not to mention that Gwen had a problem with her personality. Even if Gwen had a good character, she wouldnât let Gwen perform acupuncture on her. At her experienced age, she knew what was going on in her granddaughterâs mind.
When she walked to the door of the room, she heard Jane and Gwen talking, âGwen, why donât you stay at my house for two days and sleep with me? Itâs been a long time since we have a girlâs talk.â
âAlright.â Gwen smiled. Actually, she had two reasons for coming back this time. One of the goals, of course, was to amaze the world at the Medical Conference. The other goal was to find a partner.
Although she had been developing abroad all these years, she had been keeping an eye on the situation in her home country. She knew her situation. It was impossible for her to marry a genius like Julian. That left the other four noble young masters. Alan from the Jones family, Fred from the Hiller family, Jayden from the Green family, and Jasper from the Zeller family.
She happened to have a good relationship with Jane and could be considered to be in a favorable position. Since there was a chance, she would show her outstanding side to them first. It would be best if Fred took the initiative to pursue her. Hearing that Gwen was actually staying, Janeâs grandmother snorted coldly in her heart and went into her room to take an afternoon nap.
An hour later, Jane came over. She knocked on the door and said obediently. âGrandma, are you awake?â âYes,â Janeâs grandmother replied. Jane pushed open the door with a filial expression.
âGrandma, Iâll get Gwen to take your pulse and give you acupuncture.â âNo, I have something to deal with now,â her grandmother said.
âGrandma, whatâs the matter?â Jane felt that her grandmother was deliberately trying to protect Annalise. Her grandmother did not say anything. Instead, she stood up and called for the servant.
âCherry, did you see the new dress Sandy bought me last month?â
The servant, Cherry, immediately came in and said, âYes, I put it away for you and hung it in the cloakroom.â âGet it for me,â Janeâs grandmother said. Cherry immediately went to get the clothes. Jane persuaded her grandmother. âGrandma, taking your pulse and getting acupuncture is very fast. It wonât take up too much time.â
Her grandmother looked at her with deep eyes. âJane, you canât wait to get someone to help me recuperate. Are you really concerned about me?â Being sized up by her grandmotherâs penetrating gaze, Jane felt inexplicably guilty, but she did not make it show at all. She said firmly, âOf course, Iâm concerned about you.â
She stretched out to hold her grandmotherâs hand and said sincerely, âGrandma, you donât know how worried we were when you suddenly fell unconscious. I hope youâre healthy and live a long life.â
As she spoke, she leaned into her grandmotherâs arms and said in a cute tone, âGrandma, I might be a little stubborn and not as outstanding as others. But I really love you, Mom and Dad, and my brothers. I love our family. I want everyone in our family to be safe and happy.â These words moved the ladyâs heart.. These days, she thought she should punish Jane for being willful, but hearing Janeâs sincere words, she instantly felt her heart going soft.
Jane was just a child. It was inevitable that she would have some thoughts. She would teach Jane slowly. âGrandma, let Gwen take a look at it for you. Weâll be more at ease if thereâs no big problem.â
Jane did not believe that her grandmother would not give in.
However, her grandmother said the next moment, âWeâll do it after I come back. I have to go out now.â
Jonathan and Annalise cured her illness. She knew what was good for her. The servant, Cherry, came in with a new set of clothes.
Janeâs grandmother changed into her new clothes and asked Cherry to inform the driver to send her out. âGrandmother, you havenât recovered yet. Where are you going?â Jane chased after her.
Her grandmother said, âJane, tell your parents when they come home later. Iâll visit Madam Zeller. She hasnât been well for the past two days.â With that, she instructed the driver to drive.
There were some things that were inconvenient for her to say since there were outsiders at home. She would leave them alone for two days. Anyway, she wanted to visit an old friend.
