Chapter 9

She pulled a long face, with panic and anger in her eyes

Then she gave me a hard push.

I also heard her doubts. I was thinking about what kind of fragrance I should make to force the congestion in Felton's body and the poison left in it, so I didn't take it seriously.

But I didn't expect that Erica would rush over.

Caught off guard, I was pushed by her and fell to the side unsteadily.

In the end, i almost bumped into Penn's arms.

Before I could react, someone held me on the waist and barely stabilized me.

As soon as I raised my head, I saw Penn's dim eyes.

When the four eyes met, my body stiffened imperceptibly. Then I quickly looked away and sat down with the help of the bed.

"How dare you say that you can point out the fragrance of curing many knotty diseases? Is this your research result? I think you bought those certificates!"

Erica glared at Clayton. "Brother, I think she is a liar. Get her out of here right now!"

Hearing this, I pulled myself out of the trance and replied sarcastically, "no wonder Felton has become like this. It turns out that someone has been deliberately stopping old master's treatment. Since Miss Erica insists, forget it. Just forget it.Pretend I haven't been here today."

Then I put away my incense making materials.

Clayton was in a daze for a few seconds before she came to her senses. She hurriedly said, "Aimee, I'm really sorry. To be honest with you, our family is a medical family and we don't know much about medicinal materials. The reason why my sister is so angry is that she is worried about grandpa when she sees some medicinal materials in your mixture are in danger. Please don't lower yourself to the same level as her."

Without raising my head, I continued, "I don't need to be bullied here because of an ignorant person. I came here to treat old master with sincerity today. Since Miss Erica doesn't trust me, then forget it!"

I took the medicine box and walked towards the door.

Clayton stood up and caught up with her. "Aimee, if you have anything to say, we can have a good talk. My sister has gone too far. I'll ask her to apologize to you in person. Please continue to treat my grandfather."

"No, thanks. I can't accept Miss Erica's apology." My tone is cold and hard.

Suddenly, Lundy walked over with her short legs. he picked up his notebook, wrote a few words on it angrily, and then raised it in front of Erica.

Everyone noticed the sudden appearance of the little guy, and their eyes were also attracted by the big words on his notebook.

"Apologize!"

Lundy looked at Erica eagerly.

Erica's eyes wandered for a while, pretending not to see Lundy. She turned to Clayton and said, "brother, we can find another incense maker. I really don't believe this person."

Seeing that she was still stubborn, I smiled sarcastically at Erica. "Then I wish Miss Erica can find a good doctor before the Felton passes out."

Then i turned around and left.

As soon as I took a step forward, my wrist was grabbed.

I frowned slightly and turned my head unhappily.

As a result, Penn's expressionless handsome face appeared in front of me.

My heart was filled with astonishment.

What did he mean?

But Penn just glanced at me, grabbed my wrist and turned around. He looked at Erica coldly and said, "apologize."

Erica was stunned. "Penn, what... What did you say?"

Penn looked at her condescendingly, full of pressure. "At present, Mr. Sharp is in a critical condition. You have invited all famous doctors at home and abroad, claiming that he is just physically weak because of poor rest. But the worse he is treated, the worse it means that those doctors have not found the cause of Mr. Sharp at all."

He glanced at me and continued, "Miss Miller and the Sharp family are neither relatives nor friends. She specially come to treat your grandfather. You can't trust her, but you have no reason to hurt her. Is this how The Sharp family taught you? Apologize to her immediately!"

Clayton also pulled a long face and said to Erica, "Erica, Penn is right. Apologize to Aimee right now! No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't have hit others! You are too impulsive!"

Erica gritted her teeth and hesitated for a long time. Then she lowered her head reluctantly and said, "I'm sorry, Aimee. I'm really impulsive. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have hit you."

She apologized in a stiff tone.

I don't want to talk to him at all. At the same time, I look at the man in front of me absentmindedly.

What on earth did he want to do?

Why did you help me again?

For Mr Before Sharp's treatment, it was this man who made things difficult for me; Help Mr When Sharp was receiving treatment, the man who helped was also him; Now I'm questioned and it's him who stands up for me.

I find that I really can't see through him

"Aimee, Erica has already realized her fault. I don't expect you to forgive her so soon. But as you said, my grandfather's situation is very urgent. Can you treat him first? After that, how do you want to apologize? We can talk in detail."

Clayton's voice came to my ears.

Although I was angry at his words, I suppressed my displeasure when I thought of the situation in the Research Institute.

Besides, Clayton was right. old master was innocent. He was just a patient in urgent need of treatment.

Thinking of this, I calmed down. I glanced at the people in the room and said coldly, "I don't want to be disturbed by irrelevant people, including Miss Erica."

Erica's face darkened.

Clayton agreed immediately and asked the others to leave.

There were only Clayton and Penn left in the room, and Lundy, who couldn't live without her father. Then I sat down by the bed and made the following incense.

This time, no one disturbed me. The process of making the incense is much smoother.

After a while, the incense was ready.

I slowly lit the incense.

After that, I focused on old master without blinking my eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Five or six minutes later, old master frowned in pain and vomited a pool of black blood.

After spitting out the blood, his pale face turned a little reddish and his breath became smooth.

Seeing this, I looked a little relaxed.

"That's enough. Just let old master smell there. Half an hour later, the incense will be finished."

I looked up at the two people beside the bed.

Clayton heaved a long sigh of relief. She carefully let Felton lean against the headboard and asked, "when will my grandfather wake up?"

"he will wake up when the incense is burnt finished."

I stood up and wanted to wipe my sweat with a tissue.

As soon as I reached out her hand to the paper box, the corner of my clothes was pulled carefully.

I stopped and lowered my head in confusion. I met Lundy's bright eyes.

Although I know it's Penn and other people's child, I still can't be cruel to look at this cute little face like an angel.

Seeing me looking at her, Lundy lowered his head and took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his pocket. he stood on tiptoe and raised it in front of me, his eyes full of expectation.

I hesitated for a few seconds and finally smiled at him. "Thank you."

Then I took the handkerchief from the little guy.

Lundy smiled happily and went to get me some water.

Clayton said in surprise, "Aimee, it seems that Lundy likes you very much. It's the first time I've seen Lundy so close to someone!"

I couldn't help but be a little stunned. A moment later, I looked at Penn with some misgivings.

I didn't tell you that Lundy got lost last time.

But it couldn't be hiden from this man.

Thinking of this, I hesitated and said, "maybe... It's because I helped him before. Last time he got lost and I picked him up."

Clayton looked at Lundy and then at me, sighing, "what a coincidence!"

Was it fate?

Thinking of Lundy's identity, I smiled with self mockery and looked up indifferently. "Maybe."

Clayton didn't notice that. She stood up and suggested, "since my grandfather still needs half an hour, why don't we wait downstairs and have some water by the way? Thank you, Aimee."

Seeing that he changed the topic, I was inexplicably relieved and agreed.

I turned around to take my phone from my bag and saw the caller ID. It was Daphne.

Tonight, because I'm going to the Sharp family to attend the appointment, I handed the two kids to my best friends

When I saw her call, I thought something happened to the two kids, so I answered the phone in a hurry.

When I touched the screen, I accidentally touched the speaker.

The next second, two soft and cute voices resounded through the air, "Mommy, when will you come back?"

I was startled. I quickly covered the speaker and turned it off.

The sound of the two disappeared.
