She was afraid to tell the others that Demi had treated her because she worried that other patients would ask the latter for help
It wasn’t that she was unwilling to let Demi help everyone. Instead, she knew that the latter wasn’t experienced enough since she only learned medicine for one year. If she harmed someone in the process, she would suffer the consequences
Whea Demi tumed into an experienced, real doctor in the future, she could help the neighbors then
“It’s great that you woke up.” Andery nodded happily.
“Mrs. Moone, did you know that josh had a brain aneurysm recently? He also fainted like you. Though he spent a lot of money in the hospital, his illness wasn’t cured. He remained unconscious and was sent home a few days later. He’s only 50 years old.”
“Is that so?” Margaret was stunned. After thinking about it, she suggested, “Perhaps, he could see a traditional medicine doctor
“He saw many doctors and even spent a bomb in Jargonia. However, his illness couldn’t be treated.” Audrey shook her head.

She wondered, “Should Tet Demiterat
Though Margaret was kind, she loved Demi a lot.
Before she fainted, she kept telling the others not to inform Demi if she died. Besides, she immediately refused when people advised her to let Demi take care of

- Margaret didn’t know what to do.
Just then, Demi walked over brisky with a huge luggage.
“Demi!” Even though Margaret was short–sighted, she recognized her granddaughter at first glance.
“Grandma!” Meanwhile, Demi waved and walked faster.
Once Audrey looked back, she immediately recognized Demi.
“Oh, are you back, Demi?” Audrey exclaimed in surprise. Glancing at Margaret, she asked, “Did someone tell her about your situation?
“No. She came back to attend a show,” Margaret replied proudly.
To the older generation, being on television was an accomplishment
“A show? Is it on television?” Audrey Inquired curiously,
“Yes. Dem told me that it’s on television.” Margaret nodded.
Hearing that, Audrey said, “You’ve become successful, Demi! You’re on television
“You have such good parents.”
“Yes. Demi is a good child. Thank goodness, she wasn’t burdened by me.” in the meantime, Margaret teared up
When Demi was in middle school, her grades were very bad. Yer, Margaret knew that Demi flunked her examinations on purpose because she wanted to lessen the burden on the family.
Back then, Deshid her books and camed money by picking up rubbish. She also worked in many places.
No mutter what Margaret said, she refused to petum to school.
Thankfully, Demi didn’t have to suffer anymore.
“Hello, Grandma and Mrs. Blanton.” Demi strode forward and geted them.
“I heard you appeared on television, Demi. What show is it? Tell me everything I’ll watch it Audrey declared cheerfully.
So, Demi explained the program to her and taught her how to watch it
* i got it. If I have any questions, I’ll ask my son about it. He’s young, so he probably knows how to watch it,” Audery replied happily.
She added curiously, “Oh, yes, Demi, I heard that your parents are really rich! Do they live in a mansion like in the dramas? Are their cars very expensive? Are they followed by a bunch of bodyguards?”

Timothstood lently, Look Demi’s suitcase, and carried it toward her room
Despite small, screway brame, Timothy was surprisingly strong
“Our Timary is already such a little gentleman,” Demi said with a smile, her eyes war with pride.
During dinner, Demi noticed that Margaret seemed distracted.
“Grandmu, in something wrong?” Demi asked as she reached for anothe
Before coming home, she had bought two pounds of meat and several types of vegetables. Now, the table was covered with freshly cooked dishes.
“Uh, no, no,” Margaret instinctively shook her heal

Derti calmly picked up some food. As she chewed, she thought carefully about explaining it to Margaret in a way she’d understand.
“Grandma, the Pitt day they’re not my real parents,” Demi said evenly.
“They or not? What do you mean, they’re suddenly not? Margaret’s eyes widened in shock.
o, they’re not. From now on, let’s just act like we don’t know them,” Demi said, her tone steady.
“what do you mean they’re not?” Margaret murmured, looking visibly unsented.

“Demi, you’ll stay with Candma from now on, okay?” Margaret wid softly, her voice fall of tendemess
But in the next breath, she couldn’t help herself and sternly added, “But you need to go to school! Look at you, you were away from Grandma for just one year, and you’ve already leamed medical skills!
“That proves you’ve got a knack for studying. If you don’t go to school, I won’t recognize you as my granddaughter anymore!”
Margaret braced herself, expecting Demi to push back. But to her surprise, after only a few seconds of thought, Demi nodded calmly.
It was summer break, late August, and the new school term was about to begin
Demi figured it was time to find herself a school.
First, to put Margaret’s mind at ease. And second, because in this weald, having a diploma is the best way to survive.
Of course, more importantly, she needed to find a good school for Timothy
Even though Timothy was introverted, he excelled in certain subjects. Demi hoped he could get into a gifted program at one of the betterschools.
Gifted programs tailored their teaching to students‘ abilities and often partnered with universities. If Timothy got into one of these programs, getting into college wouldn’t be a problem in the future.
Meanwhile, at Lindon’s largest hotel–the Lindtondrand Hotel–Stephen, Michelle, Daniel, and Harold rushed in
Thomas was waiting outside. When he saw his parents arrive, he quickly walked up to them.
The four of them were eager to hear about Thomas’s progress, but they knew it wasn’t appropriate to discuss such matters out in the open.
“Let’s talkindde, Stephen said.
In Thomas’s hotel room, the four of them sat down

He had brought his own mug and coffee, preferring not to use the hotel’s.
“Forget about that for now. Just sit down,” Stephen said, pulling Thomas back to his seat.
“So? How did it go, Thomas? What did Demi say?” Michelle asked, her tone sharp with curiosity.
At the mention of Demi’s name, Thomas’s expression immediately darkened.
“She refused to talk to me at all, and she’s staying with an older mentor. I didn’t feel it was appropriate to disturb them,” he said flatly.
The room fell silent.
“Forget it. This whole thing is the fault of you three. If she’s angry and hurt, it’s completely understandable,” Stephen finally said, breaking the tension. “Tomorrow, we’ll go to her grandma’s place and properly apologize to her.”
