Chapter 8

Penn's POV

Holding the resume tightly, I glanced at Aimee's face and said meaningfully, "now many people will make up the resume and go out to cheat. Mr. Sharp's physical condition is not optimistic. Don't be deceived by these people."

Then I opened her resume.

The school where Aimee had studied and the place where she worked were all caught my attention.

Over the years, Aimee's life gradually appeared in my mind.

Indeed, as she said, she had a good time abroad in the past few years. Every item in her resume was extremely beautiful and excellent, which was eye-catching.

I slowly closed the cover of her resume. "It looks like... It's true."

I glanced at Aimee coldly and suggested to Clayton, "but you'd better go to the Internet and check if there is really this person. After all, you can buy these certificates in your resume."

"I can buy the certificate, but I can't buy the incense making skill. When I check for old master, Mr. Carter will know whether I have the ability or not."

I didn't say anything. I just glanced at the angry Aimee.

"You know each other?" Erica asked with a frown.

Aimee answered without hesitation, "no, I don't know him. How could I know the superior Mr. Carter?"

Then she turned to look at Clayton and said, "Mr. Clayton, I'm here to make incense for Mr. Sharp. Can I go upstairs to have a look at him? I just know his situation today. Even if I can't make a suitable incense for him, I won't hurt him. Please let me go upstairs to have a look. If I can't cure him, I will have a clear estimation of myself and leave immediately. I won't disturb him again!"

I looked coldly at the serious woman, without saying a word.

Clayton nodded at Aimee and said, "thank you, Aimee. Please follow me."

I stood still and watched the three people disappear at the corner of the stairs.

Lundy tugged at my collar and wanted me to follow her.

I withdrew my sight from the corner of the stairs and looked down at the little guy in my arms. Then I pulled my lips and walked upstairs.

Aimee's POV

When I walked to the door of the room, I caught a glimpse of the man who suddenly appeared. My heart skipped a beat.

"Here we are." Clayton said in a low voice.

I quickly collected myself, forced myself to calm down and followed him into the room.

As soon as I entered, i smelled a strong smell of medicine.

I looked around the room and saw a big bed in the center of the room. Several people in white stood beside the bed. It seemed that the medical team was specially prepared for old master.

This room should be specially set up for Felton.

Just as the outsiders said, the Sharp family attached great importance to the condition of Felton.

Clayton took me to old master's bed and said, "Aimee, this way please."

I nodded and looked down at the person on the bed.

Felton lay weakly on the bed, with only bones left and sunken cheeks. He looked as if he is dying!

Seeing the scene in front of me, my face suddenly became serious and my eyebrows tightly twisted.

As Dexter had said, the situation of Felton was very serious.

I didn't dare to delay. After the observation, I immediately dignose him.

I thought the symptoms described by Dexter were serious enough.

But he didn't expect that the actual situation of Felton was even worse than he had described!

During the course of the diagnosis, I also noticed that old master's breath was very weak. It could be said that he was the last breath left!

After a while, with a serious look on my face, I let go of old master's hand, stood up and walked to Clayton and the others.

"Aimee, is there any result? How's my grandfather? Are you sure you can make the sleeping fragrance?"

I frowned and asked in a questioning tone, "why don't you send old master to the hospital since he is in such a serious condition? Why don't you make him a sleeping fragrance? He is dying, but you still keep him at home?"

Hearing what I said, the faces of Clayton and Erica and two changed instantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Erica glared at her angrily. "My grandfather just doesn't have a good rest. You are just a incense maker. You know some medical science at most. You can't compare with a professional doctor. Don't talk nonsense here. I told you to make the incense. If you don't have the ability, just say it. Don't curse my grandfather here!"

I looked at her with a cold face, " All the functions of your grandfather's body have begun to degenerate, and his resistance is also decreasing rapidly. Normally, in this kind of situation, the patient should be recuperating in time, but the medical team you hired is wantonly applying medicine to the patient regardless of the patient's physical condition. This is not a treatment, but burning his life!"

In the medical team, the leading doctor stepped forward and looked at me seriously. "Miss, you don't know the situation. Please don't make a rash judgment. Mr. Sharp's previous situation was very serious. If we hadn't given him the medicine in time, he wouldn't have been able to hold on till now. Please don't question our profession. Besides, we are invited by Miss Hunter. How could we hurt Mr. Sharp?"

I keenly captured the employer he mentioned.

Miss Hunter,Bonnie?

Miss Hunter, Bonnie?

This medical team was actually invited by Bonnie. Do you think I will be afraid of them with the support of Bonnie?

With a cold face, I retorted, "major? With all due respect, I didn't find out the specialty of your team. If you were a little professional, you wouldn't treat the patient like this!"

Erica's face changed slightly. She walked up to him and said, "you are so arrogant. So you are sure that you can cure my grandfather? If not, please don't talk nonsense here. Can you? Bonnie has introduced many good doctors to my grandfather over the years, and Penn has put a lot of effort into it. In the end, their efforts are all in vain here?"

With a slight frown between my eyebrows, I subconsciously glanced at the man next to me. When I saw his expressionless face, I immediately withdrew my sight and said calmly, "I'm just telling the truth. The truth is in front of us, and we should know it clearly."

"You!" Erica glared.

"Aimee, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. But I don't care about the previous treatment. I just want to know if you are sure to cure my grandfather. If you are, please start as soon as possible. After all, you have said that my grandfather's condition can't be delayed any longer."

Clayton looked at me sincerely.

"

Erica said with sarcasm, "yes. Aren't you very capable? Please start the treatment as soon as possible. I'm curious about your ability."

Ignoring her provocative words, I turned around and went back to the bed. "Now I'm going to start the treatment. Please prepare some medicinal materials for me, and then take off old master's clothes."

Clayton asked cautiously, "does it have to be done?"

I looked at him inexplicably. "I want to treat old master, and I need to make a kind of incense. Clothes are very inconvenient. Who can help me? Please hurry up."

Clayton hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth and strode over

Erica got anxious. "What kind of treatment is this? Why..."

I ignored her. Instead, I opened my bag and took out an ancient wooden box with some processed incense materials.

Soon, the medicinal materials I asked for were sent here. I thought for a while and began to mix the incense carefully.

In front of me, Clayton tried her best to lean Felton against him, one hand holding Felton's body, and the other hand taking off Felton's clothes with difficulty.

Soon, all old master's clothes were removed, and his skin, bones and body were exposed in front of everyone.

As I had expected, I ordered the two men in a low voice, "help Mr. Sharp steady."

Clayton nodded seriously.

I glanced at Penn, but he didn't respond or say anything. I took a deep breath and began to carefully light the incense.

A few minutes later, someone shouted in the room, "what are you doing? The grass crows and rhinoceros horns in the incense are against each other. Do you want to kill my grandfather?"

Erica said.
