Being a good person was costly, but in comparison to her father’s life, what did it matter?
Sarah lowered her gaze, observing her father’s pale and frail visage. Her eyes welled up with
teats
Angela glanced at her, then averted her gaze. Retrieving a notebook from her canvas bag, she passed it to Sarah. Tve detailed the instructions and dosages here. The process is a bit intricate, so please review it first. If you have any questions. I’ll be happy to explain.”
Sarah’s eyes scanned the elegantly written text in the notebook, and after a moment, she
closed it.
Angela blinked, slightly taken aback. “You finished reading it so quickly?”
“Yes, I’m a fast reader.” Sarah smiled with gratitude. “You’ve written it very comprehensively. and the handwriting is lovely, unlike our school leader’s scribbles.”
Recalling the messy handwriting, Angela couldn’t help but chuckle, then inquired. “Shall I test you about it?”
“Of course.
Angela’s gaze shifted as she questioned, “Tell me the weight of lily bulbs and platycodon roots needed for the medicine to be decocted at noon.”
“10 grams of lily bulbs and 7 pieces of platycodon roots ground into powder and boiled in hot water for 40 minutes.”
Angela posed a few more queries.
Without exception, Sarah promptly answered each one.
Angela’s eyes shimmered with curiosity. Whenever Sarah’s name came up at school, the term “beautiful” was consistently used. Hearing it repeatedly, Angela had unwittingly formed the impression that Sarah was merely a “pretty face.” However, observing Sarah now, she saw the beautiful facade seemed to possess some substance.
Angela blinked. “Do you have a photographic memory? That would certainly be advantageous for studying medicine.”
For others, memorizing the names of those herbs and their precise weights to decimal poin
would be overwhelming. However, for a medical student, this skill was a godsend.

Sarah souded. “I just have a good memory. You, on the cather hand, are truly remarkable”
After all, Angela was the key to whether her father could weaken and recuperate
Angela rechecked Zayn’s juler Though stable, it was slightly weaker compared to before Samuel, that fool, had arrived.
She glanced at Sarah. “The patient requires rest, so let’s not disturb him with external
matters”

Sarah was momentarily puzzled, then grasped the implied message and nodded.
Tll take my leave now. Make sure your father receives his medication on time
Administering medicine and sustenance to an unconscious patient was challenging, so Angela imparted a few pointers to Sarah before departing the ward.
Oliver hurried over, looking as if he were seeking approval. “Mrs. Lawson, I held back while dealing with Samuel just now. I made sure nothing untoward happened to him, hehe.
“Excellent.”
Angela smiled, then casually remarked, “We should refrain from resorting to violence when dealing with such individuals. We are people of culture, so we shouldn’t stoop to their level.”
Oliver scratched his head, contemplating her words. “But Daniel mentioned that if we need to take action, we should do so decisively.”
Daniel often said something like “you’ve got to nip it in the bud, otherwise it just grows back stronger.” So, who should we really listen to?
Angela glanced at him. “I’m the missus, so you must obey me.”
If Oliver got imprisoned, she wouldn’t have the capacity to extricate him.
Oliver nodded obediently and followed her instructions.
“Mrs. Lawson, please wait here. I’ll go start the car.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The car was a short distance away, and Angela stayed put, waiting for him.
Fanny’s voice suddenly echoed from the opposite side of the parking lot.
“Angela?”

Angela rolled her eyes, feeling repulsed by the voNET
Fanny approached, questioning. Did your dog injure Samuel again?”
She had arranged to meet a few classmates for lunch at the new restaurant near the foot
Just as they were seated at the restaurant, the received a call from Samma
He complained to her, saying that Joseph and Zacharias were acting irrationally, forcing him to apologize to Sarah and Angela.
After listening to him. Fanny wanted to curse at him and thought about finding an excuse not to go, but then she heard that Zacharias was also presen
If she didn’t go, she was unsure of what Zacharias might say
Reluctantly, Fanny left the restaurant. There were two of her classmates who truly disliked
her
She had hoped that the support of her classmates would help teach them a lesson during the meal, so they wouldn’t dare to speak out of turn at school again.
Now that she had left, she was uncertain about what they might say

Angela’s gaze turned cold as she stared directly at Fanny. Since there was no one else around. she dropped all pretense.
Her beautiful and innocent face now exuded a strong sense of malice.
Angela suddenly smiled in amusement. She raised an eyebrow and said, “When your mentioned ‘dog, it reminded me of something.
“What?”
“Your friend Stella. I told her that you intentionally drugged her to make her miss your engagement ceremony.”
Angela continued with a wider smile, “She believed it at the time, and after checking, she mentioned that you were deceiving her.”
“Didn’t Angela taunted.

At those words, emotions flickered in Fanny’s eyes. Her pink lips parted, but she remained
silent.

Angela’s voice chimed in again. “Oh.. it’s also possible that I remembered it wrong. You better go see your dear Samuel now, before it’s too late and you have to put in extra effort. Your kind and considerate little sister image is starting to show cracks
Oliver conveniently pulled up the car, and Angela quickly got into the passenger seat
Remembering Fanny, Oliver said to Angela, “Mrs. Lawson, buckle up, then stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.
The exhaust from the car sprayed onto Fanny, who was now pondering Angela’s words about Stella….
Angela caught a glimpse of Fanny through the side mirror and chuckled
People always seem to harbor doubts about others, no matter if they were being instigated.
After pondering for a moment. Fanny felt she needed to find an opportunity to probe Stella.
Even if Stella discovered something, she wouldn’t dare speak up.
Fanny collected her thoughts with a sly smile playing on her lips. She had quietly been training Stella to be an obedient and loyal little dog all this time.
When Fanny entered the ward, Zacharias had already left, leaving only Samuel.
Tears welled up in Fanny’s eyes as she said, “Samuel…”
“Fanny, I’m fine. Please don’t cry.”
“I just saw Angela downstairs. I was just asking about how she is doing, and she…”
Samuel sat up abruptly, his voice filled with anger. “What did she do?”
“She said it’s all your fault, and if you provoke her again, Oliver will…” Fanny hesitated, biting her lip. Under Samuel’s gaze, sh
reluctantly continued, “ruin you.”
“Angela’s really feeling high and mighty now, strutting around because she’s got a bodyguard!”
“We should let Zacharias hear these words. Let’s see if he still sticks up for that snake!”
Fanny’s pupils narrowed, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes. Just as expected. With Samuel sick like that, will he still be so stubborn?
