Chapter 17
Return of the Lost Heiress
However, she held back. Hildaâs shrewdness made it unlikely for her to reveal the Gibson familyâsimminent collapse to everyone.
What she needed to do now was to stabilize these lesserâknown families.
âYouâre correct.â Hilda agreed. âThe Gibson familyâs reputation in the medical field has been evident foryears. However, on such a celebratory occasion, it seems unfortunate.â
Ewan, being in business, found such matters somewhat mysterious.
However, Wanda feared Yvetteâs apprenticeship might fall through and kept praising Hilda. â Absolutely!Madam Gibson has won awards even abroad. Back in the country and treat everyone!â
Hilda didnât mention that the targeted drug analysis she won abroad was provided by Heavenly MedicalGuild.
Instead, she sighed. âWanda, be discreet. The Gibson family also has its shortcomings. For example,when treating Mr. Yarwood, we lacked a medicinal herb, the Zenith herb. Otherwise, we wouldnât havehad to resort to other families.â
âZenith herb?â Yvette casually mentioned, âDad, I remember Grandma has a lot of
medicinal herbs, and thereâs also a medical book.â
Upon seeing Yvette so knowledgeable, Hilda was surprised and asked, âEwan, does the Yates familyhave those?â
Ewan looked embarrassed. âThose are just old junk. Nothing valuable.â
âNot valuable? Does a poor old lady cherish worthless things so much?â Wanda sneered.
Ewan pulled her, indicating that she should be mindful of the occasion.
However, Hildaâs eyes lit up. âForget it. The Gibson family wonât covet othersâ treasures. Itâs just thatthis invitation to treat the Yarwood family may be lackingâ¦â
As Wanda heard about the Yarwood familyâs invitation, she immediately interjected, â Madam Gibson,now that youâre Yvetteâs master, weâre family. Weâll definitely send Zenith herb and medical book. Right,Ewan?â@@novelbin@@
you the
Ewan, at this point, made up his mind. âExactly. Iâll send someone to my momâs place tonight.â
âThat would be perfect.â Hilda smiled broadly. âIn a week, when I visit the Yarwood family
for medical consultation, Yvette will accompany me. Sheâs so pretty. Who knows, she might catch Mr.Yarwoodâs attentionâ¦â
Caught Mr. Yarwoodâs attention?
Upon hearing this, Ewan lost all rationality. He just wanted to get Margaretâs Zenith herb as soon aspossible, regardless of whether she was his biological mother.
Wanda was even more excited and patted Yvetteâs hand. âIf what Madam Gibson says comes true,youâll be blessed for the rest of your life. Thatâs Mr. Yarwood!â
âMomâ¦â Yvette blushed shyly. âWhen Iâm with Madam Gibson for medical consultation, Iâll behavewell.â
Mr. Yarwood, the head of one of Sorzada Cityâs aristocratic families, was incredibly wealthy. Whowouldnât want to marry into such a family? The Yates family was indeed daydreaming.
Hilda, always eager for benefit, was clearly just playing with their words. It was all for the Yates familyâsZenith herbâ¦
The Yates family lacked judgment by flattering the wrong target.
At sunset, in the community square, Wynter was fully engrossed with the medical consultations. Shehad no idea that someone was eying Margaretâs traditional herb.
She
gave
Gavin a few more instructions before he left.
âMake sure to watch your salt intake. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables when you get home. If anyonetries to persuade you to undergo surgery again, donât listen.â 1
âCan I go home now?â Gavin asked uncertainly. âDo I need to take several courses of medication?â
Wynter replied professionally, âNo need. The air in the countryside is good for recovery.â
After all the hustle and bustle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling in his eyes as he left.
She was about to keep her acupuncture needle when she was done with this last patient. Ryan, whohad been observing nearby, hurriedly stopped her!
