Chapter 29 Yvette curved her lips into a smile and smile and sent over a playful sticker . She put down her phone , tidied herself up a bit , and headed downstairs . Today , Aunt Lynn had also come by, directing the household staff as they moved things . " Yes , this one - put it over here . " ] " Careful , don't wake Miss . " ] Sophie spoke softly , then turned around - only to spot Yvette . " Yvette , you're up ? Yvette smiled back . " Aunt Lynn ' Sophie's face lit up like a blooming flower when she saw Yvette wearing the cute pajamas she'd bought her . As someone without children of her own , Sophie had been treating Yvette like her own daughter , as if she'd stumbled upon a whole new world . Especially since Yvette was so beautiful - everything looked good on her . ] Every time Sophie went out and saw a gorgeous dress or bag , she couldn't resist buying it for Yvette . The thought of dressing her up like a doll gave her more satisfaction than signing a hundred - million - dollar contract . [ ] " I specially brought over some little decorations girls like . I didn't wake you , did I ? " Yvette chuckled . " Of course not . " ] "I heard you've cleared out some space in the backyard for medicinal plants . Is it enough ? If not , we can buy another villa , " Sophie offered . Yvette coughed lightly . " No need - it's enough . " ] What she liked most about this villa was the large backyard . Behind it stretched an uninhabited area that connected to the mountain - perfect for cultivating medicinal herbs . " All right , but if it's not enough , just tell me . If you need assistants , I can hire a few top students from medical or agricultural universities for you . " Yvette politely declined Sophie's warmhearted offer . She already had someone else in mind for that role . Since Sophie had come early today , they ended up having breakfast together . [ ] " The old madam's health has been getting better and better , " Sophie said happily . " Just like you suggested , she does her rehab exercises every day , keeping active . Without her illness tormenting her , she's been sleeping soundly every night . Every time we talk , she asks about you and says she'll have to thank you properly next time she sees you . I still can't believe how fast she's recovered . " It hadn't even been that long , yet the old madam could already walk briskly again . [ ] Back then , Sophie wouldn't have dared imagine it . Now , word had spread through their social circle that the Lynn family had found a miracle doctor . Many people were trying to find out who it was . Some were even offering huge sums for a consultation . After all , the old madam's illness was one even the world's top specialists had failed to treat . [ ] Yvette nodded . " Even though she seems fine now , she was bedridden for a long time . The illness damaged her nervous system . and organs , so she still needs to take care . Once I'm free , I'll give her a follow - up check . " The old madam's condition was rare - so rare it had hardly been documented in history . Modern medicine couldn't cure it , only surgically remove affected tissue or try to improve the environment around it . ] But these rare diseases often invaded through the blood , meridians , and even the body's vital energies , spreading internally . Such illnesses could only be cured through traditional medical arts , and even then only by those truly skilled in the craft . ] That was one reason this branch of medicine had endured for centuries - treatments were rare and costly , but when they came , one case could sustain a healer for a year . " No need to wait , " Sophie said with a smile . " The old madam will be at the banquet in a few days . You can check her then . " ] Yvette nodded . " That works - saves me the trip . " ] Sophie's smile deepened . She looked at Yvette and let out a satisfied sigh . " This feels so nice . " Yvette tilted her head . " Hm ? " Sophie's voice softened with emotion . " I never knew having a daughter to talk to could feel this good . " [ ] Yvette froze for a moment , then gave a faint , gentle smile . [ ] -0 At the South Shore Café . The place wasn't crowded at this hour , but most customers ' eyes kept drifting toward the booth by the window . Their gazes lingered on the girl in casual clothes , baseball cap , and high ponytail . Her easygoing grace and striking side profile drew more than a few second glances - some even wondered if she was a celebrity . [ ] Across from her sat a young man . His features were refined - not the kind of handsome that immediately turned heads - but he carried the unmistakable air of a business elite , oddly mixed with a hint of geeky awkwardness . [ ] Strangely , on hum , that contradictory mix didn't clash at all " Cleaned yourself up pretty well , " Yvette said with a smirk . [ ]
