Chapter 17 Could Not Compare to Her Mr. Hawking and Emily went to the conference room to talk in detail. Mason and Lucas did not leave and just sat in the lounge to wait for them. After about half an hour, they returned. âGrandpa Hawking, how is it?â Lucas asked. Mr. Hawking nodded, brimming with excitement. âIâve seen the plan. We will try it for a month first.â Lucas and the others did not understand medical matters, and Mr. Hawking couldnât explain further without going into professional medical details. When he said this, there seemed to be some disbelief in his eyes. Lucas sensed his doubt and was puzzled. His searching gaze landed on Emily. He did not know what they had discussed to make Grandpa Hawking reveal such an expression. However, since Grandpa Hawking had agreed, it seemed that the plan was not an issue.
Since both sides were satisfied, then they could talk about the details of their cooperation.
âMs. Armstrong, sit over here. Letâs talk about the specifics of our deal.â Mason adjusted his glasses, shifting into a mature and steady aura of business.

âI donât have any requirements. Just cooperate with the treatment.â
The price was settled and the treatment time was set.
Mason thought about it and mentioned the location of the treatment. âWill Ms. Armstrong come to the Greens Residence to treat our young master in the future, or?â If she could go to the Greens Residence for treatment, it would naturally be the best choice.
Emily shook her head. She looked at Lucas and her almond eyes met with his deep and sharp eagle eyes. âYoung Master Greens, I still have a family to take care of. I canât leave my medicine garden, so it is not convenient for me to come to you. Youâll have to come to me for your treatment.â
Mason and Lucas looked at each other with complicated expressions.
A person like Young Master Greens who could move heaven and earth was now beholden to the whims of this young girl. They were completely at her mercy.
If she could cure him, all of this was worth it.
It was just a visit to her home, why not?
Mason agreed immediately. Emily briefly explained the treatment plan and medicine to them. They had no objection. The matter was settled. She said goodbye to them and finished the business with Mr. Hawking as well. She was about to leave when Mason stopped her.
âMs. Armstrong, we have another request here. Young Master Greens has a special identity, and his illness must be kept confidential. I hope you can respect that.â
Emily agreed and turned to leave.
On the way back, she wondered if she had been too impulsive to agree so readily, and establish a connection with this rich and powerful Young Master Greens.
Just because she saw a tattoo on his chest? If he was not the person she wanted to find, wasnât this all a waste of time?
However, after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it. The remuneration they paid her was very high. In the future, she would no longer have to worry about money Thinking of this, she smiled and her footsteps became lighter. There were still people waiting for her at home.
She reached her apartment block, her home was on the 4th floor. This was an old building. The facilities were dated and there was no elevator so they had to take the stairs. âWho told you to come...â
She walked to the second floor and heard some people arguing. It was very noisy. She stopped in her tracks. The soundproofing of this building was not good, so it was possible that some family was quarreling. She shrugged and went upstairs. âGet out of here. You are not welcome here!â When she reached the fourth floor, the sounds of arguing became clearer and clearer. Only then did she realize that this furious roar was from her grandmother. Was the dispute happening in her own family? She felt a rush of cold. âWhy are you so agitated? I just came to send an invitation letter to my sister. Although she was kicked out of the house, sheâs still the Armstrong familyâs flesh and blood. Charles and I are going to get married. As a younger sister, shouldnât one invite her sister?â
A sarcastic and sharp female voice came from inside the door, the pride was evident in her voice. It stabbed into Emily, who clenched her fists as she felt her anger rise. She could not forget this personâs voice. It was her stepsister, Mia, Emilyâs face darkened, and she pushed open the door and entered. âMia, this is not your Armstrong residence. Youâre not welcome in my home. Get out of here!â She glared angrily at Mia, so angry that her body trembled slightly, and her voice was cold.
âOh, Emily youâre back?â Mia turned her head when she heard the voice and their eyes met. Mia was dressed in a revealing fashion, and Emily vaguely remembered that it was a new design from some known designer.
Mia had on stilettos which showed her toes that were covered in red nail polish, her hair was done in a complicated style and a braid fell over her shoulder. She looked powerful and beautiful. Her pretty face was covered with heavy makeup, and the whole room was filled with the heavy smell of perfume on her body. Compared to Mia, Emilyâs long hair draped down over her shoulders and she was dressed in a plain Mori-style long dress. She looked gentle and down-to-earth. Emilyâs brown almond eyes rippled with emotion, her lips were cherry red, and the tip of her delicate nose turned up slightly. Her face was small, and her light makeup made her facial features more delicate and charming. Mia angrily found that in terms of facial features, Emily was indeed more stunning than her. And maybe even her natural aura was inferior to Emilyâs?
