Stella was very worried about Old Madam Stanton’s condition. The old lady’s prejudice against Sumr ca from Luna, and this bias was unlikely to disappear. With the old lady there, it would be even easier for her to drive Sumr away.
However, when she suggested going to the hospital together, she was refused by Henry Stanton.
"The Master has already said such things, so you should be more cautious. Just stay ho and rest. I’ll keep an eye on Mom."
Stella bit her lip and said, "Then you should go to First Ross Hospital. Dr. Claire Woodward there is very famous. If the situation worsens, make sure to find her to treat Mom."
Henry agreed and reminded Sumr, "Sadie, you stay ho as well. You have class tomorrow, so get a good rest today."
"Okay, Dad." Sumr smiled slightly and watched Henry get into the car and leave.
As soon as Henry left, Stella’s expression turned grim. She glared coldly at Master Jonah and said, "Don’t think that just because they call you a master, you are one. You’re just a conman. I won’t give you a cent, so leave my house at once!"
Two apprentices behind Master Jonah imdiately stepped forward in anger, but Master Jonah stopped them with a gesture and said calmly, "There’s no need to get angry if Madam doesn’t trust . I’ve lived to this age by valuing tranquility, and I give these four words to you for free. As for the fee for this ritual, consider it a gift to this young lady."
Master Jonah was referring to Sumr. Stella turned even darker and, not bothering to engage with him further, walked directly into the villa.
"Master," Sumr took a step forward and said with respect, "Thank you for not helping Stella to harm today, and for lying to my father so he didn’t kick out. If you ever need my help, just ask. I’m quite skilled in dicine, so if you feel unwell, you can co to . Since Stella won’t pay you for this, I will. How much do you want?"
The two apprentices behind could not help but laugh.
"Miss, our master never lies, and the reading he gave you is real."
Master Jonah said lightly, "Indeed, I never lie. Miss, your fate is extraordinary. You don’t need to pay for this; consider it a bond of goodwill."
Master Jonah spoke seriously, but Sumr didn’t believe him. She still said, "Thank you for your kind words, though I don’t believe in these things. Thank you anyway."
Master Jonah smiled and shook his head, "It’s normal not to believe at your age, but let say one more thing. Although your fate is noble, you’ll face many life-and-death trials ahead. You’ll need to be careful and diligent to live smoothly."
"Thank you."
Sumr bowed and eventually slipped a check to the two apprentices, watching Master Jonah leave.
Just as she was about to turn back to the manor, a deep voice sounded, "Sumr."
Sumr’s spine stiffened, and she looked with delight in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, she saw Damian Knight standing in a shadowy corner.
"Damian!" There was an unsuspecting joy in her voice.
Damian stepped out of the shadows. Under the sunlight, he seed to glow, his tall figure moving step by step towards her.
"The matter with the daoist is settled?"
Sumr approached him and, hearing this, hesitated to speak, "Was it you who bribed Master Jonah in advance so he didn’t help Stella?"
