Before Harriet Bennett could speak, Linda Wilson immediately said, “Miss Thompson, we believe in you.”

Linda is an experienced and knowledgeable person.

At a glance, she could see that Viola Thompson was different from ordinary girls.

Calm, self-possessed, elegant in conversation, she exuded a temperament that children of her age lacked.

Experienced.

“Alright.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly, then asked, “Do you have paper and pen?”

“Yes.” Linda immediately asked the servant to bring paper and pen.

Viola took the paper, wrote a prescription, noted the contraindications and materials needed for dressing the wound, and then handed the paper to Linda, “Prepare the things written on the paper, and I’ll come back tomorrow afternoon.’

“Alright.” Linda took the prescription, and when she saw the writing on it, she was amazed for a moment.

The artistic charm was flowing, the thin strokes were elegant, and it was a very beautiful thin gold script. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe that such beautiful handwriting came from the hand of a young girl.

As expected, you can tell a person by their handwriting.

Viola Thompson’s handwriting, just like her whole person.

So beautiful that it could overthrow a city. “Then, I’ll leave first.” Viola Thompson continued.

“I’ll walk you out.”

Linda walked Viola to the door.

At the door, Viola Thompson looked back at Linda and said, “Mrs. Bennett, please stay.”

Linda chuckled, “I must be about the same age as Miss Thompson’s mother. If

Miss Thompson doesn’t mind, you can call me Aunt Linda.”

“Aunt Linda.”

Linda continued, “I’ll have the driver take you home.”contemporary romance

Viola pointed to the shared bicycle parked by the roadside, “I can ride a bike home, it’s very fast.”

“Miss Thompson, please let the driver take you.”

“No need, please stay.”

With that, Viola walked over to a shared bicycle by the roadside, took it, and rode away.

The breeze scattered her hair, drawing a perfect arc in the air, leaving a chaotic beauty.

Watching the figure gradually disappear, the heavy stone that had been weighing on Linda’s heart for days began to fade.

After a moment, Linda turned and went back into the house.

Harriet Bennett asked, “Has Miss Thompson left?”

Linda nodded.

Harriet continued, “Do you think Miss Thompson is trustworthy?”

“Yes.” Linda nodded again.

Angus Wilson walked in from the side, “Brother-in-law, don’t worry! Miss Thompson will definitely make Edith better!” Anyway, Angus was now thoroughly convinced.

Harriet frowned slightly, “But I always feel like she’s too young.”

Young, lacking experience, and seen little.

Harriet was very worried.

“Age is just a number, and it doesn’t define someone’s abilities.” Angus continued, “Gunther’s grandson was only twelve years old when he became an official, brother-in-law, don’t judge a person by their appearance.”

At that moment, a servant approached, “Sir, Mrs., Old Doctor Bruce has arrived. ”

Hearing the words “Old Doctor Bruce,” Linda frowned slightly.

This Old Doctor Bruce had almost ruined her daughter!

Linda was about to say something, but Harriet held her hand, “Let Old Doctor

Bruce in quickly.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

After the servant left, Linda said unhappily, “Why are you letting him in again?”

Harriet said, “Let’s hear what Old Doctor Bruce has to say.”

Soon, the housekeeper led Old Doctor Bruce in.

After examining Edith Bennett’s condition, Old Doctor Bruce stroked his beard, “Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett, your daughter’s condition is very bad right now. Her face is rejecting the medication. I will do my best to make the wound heal, but as for restoring her appearance, I’m afraid…”

In the end, he shook his head, “I’m afraid there is no hope in this life, so you two need to be mentally prepared.”

“That’s not what you said before!” Linda was somewhat angry, her tone naturally not pleasant, “You said you could cure my daughter!”

Hearing that, Old Doctor Bruce looked up calmly, “Mrs. Bennett, no doctor and no surgery is a hundred percent certain. Unforeseen factors are unavoidable. Moreover, your daughter’s situation is too serious! In my entire medical career, I have never seen such a situation! I can understand your feelings, but please also understand the doctor’s heart. If there were any medicine for your daughter, I would not have come to this conclusion.”

The compassion of the doctor.

He wanted to cure Edith more than anyone else, but things didn’t go as planned.

“If your medical skills are not up to par, don’t deny everyone else!” Linda’s voice held some anger, “There’s always someone better! There’s always a higher mountain!”

Old Doctor Bruce looked up, “Is Mrs. Bennett implying that someone can heal your daughter’s face?”

It’s really strange!

He had never heard of someone like this in River City!

Medical skills surpassing his?

He had never heard of it!

Old Doctor Bruce had been arrogant all his life, receiving people’s respect, but he couldn’t stand to hear such words.

“Yes!” Mrs. Bennett said.

“Absolutely impossible!” Old Doctor Bruce stood up and continued, “It’s not that I’m arrogant, but your daughter’s face has reached a dead end. How can there be a turning point when it’s a dead end?”

At this point, Angus stepped forward:

“Old Doctor Bruce, let me tell you the truth. When I went to pick up the medicine, a young lady who studied medicine spotted the problem with your prescription just by looking at it, and accurately stated that my niece’s wound would definitely become ulcerated if she took your medicine. If only we had taken her words to heart at the beginning.”

Angus Wilson continued, “But luckily, we have contacted her in time. We believe that she has the ability.”

Old Doctor Bruce squinted, somewhat curious about who this person was. How could she deduce from the prescription alone that Edith Bennett’s face would ulcerate?

It must be a random guess.

He had dedicated his life to studying medicine and couldn’t cure Edith. How could a young girl studying medicine do it?

Absurd!

“Mr. Wilson, don’t be deceived by others!” Old Doctor Bruce continued, “There’s poison in every medicine, and Miss Bennett’s face is already at a dead end.

Timely stopping the loss is the best plan. If you force treatment, it will endanger her life! ”

With Edith Bennett’s current situation, apart from him, anyone else taking over the treatment would arrive at the same outcome.

Death.

At this point, Old Doctor Bruce paused, turned his head to look at Harriet Bennett, “Mr. Bennett, as a husband, as a father, I hope you think carefully, don’t let the thoughts of some women ruin Miss Bennett!”

Women mostly had long hair and short knowledge!

Linda’s case in point, she would actually believe that a young girl from who-knows-where could cure Edith.

“Stop frightening us!” Linda raised her voice angrily, “Housekeeper! Show the guest out!”

The housekeeper hesitated and bowed, “Please.”

Old Doctor Bruce was extremely angry and just before he left, he took one last glance at Harriet, “Mr. Bennett, you are the head of the household, and Miss Bennett has only one life, don’t do anything you’ll regret!”

With that, he left without looking back.

Linda frowned tightly.

Harriet was about to say something, but Linda interrupted, “Nothing more to say, I believe in Miss Thompson!”

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Edith, “What about you, Edith?”

Edith was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, “I also believe in Miss Thompson.”

She was more afraid of living a half-human, half-ghost life for the rest of her days than she was of dying.

With both his wife and daughter trusting Viola, Harriet couldn’t say anything more. He only looked at Edith and said, “As long as you don’t regret it, I respect your and your mother’s decision..”
