Bruce was motentarily taken aback, but then he remembered that Angela was also a doctor who had successfully treated his grandson. He had been so focused on finding a wife for Jonathan that he had forgotten about this.
Angela had been a benefactor to their family. Witnessing Jonathan’s fragile health, Bruce had sought help from renowned doctors, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, fate had brought Angela here.
Returning to his senses, he smiled and nodded repeatedly. “Sure, but I didn’t bring any consultation fee today, little doctor.”
Angela smiled, revealing her sweet dimples. “It’s okay. I’m just checking on my own family. No need for a consultation fee.”
Touched by her sweet smile, Bruce couldn’t help but think of his daughter. When she smiled, she also had a deep dimple…
“Angela, do you sense anything wrong?” Sebastian, who had spent a long time with Jonathan, was particularly sensitive to health matters and immediately noticed that Angela might have discovered something.
Angela hesitated before answering. “Without checking the pulse, I can’t make a hasty judgment.”
After she spoke, the room fell silent for a few seconds, then Jonathan spoke up. “Then, let’s check.”
Bruce didn’t mind because he knew his own body, and there was no problem with it. Still, he sat down and waited for Angela to take his pulse. He was curious about the medical skills of this young doctor and whether they were as good as Sebastian had said.
When Angela placed her hand on his pulse, the room became exceptionally quiet, and after a while, she raised her clear eyes and asked seriously, “Grandpa, do you experience any pain in your ribs?”
This… A hint of surprise flashed in Bruce’s eyes. “There is some, but it’s not serious, so it doesn’t matter.”
How could it not matter? Many minor illnesses were ignored, and they became more and more serious: until they were incurable.
Angela shook her head, her little face serious. If you’re sick, you should seek medical treatment promptly. Ignoring it can easily lead to a serious illness. The human body’s organs and meridians are closely
interconnected, and it’s easy for one problem to affect the whole body. This, Tidians are closely
in the ribs may seem like
a minor discomfort, but it is caused by a blockage in the liver and gallbladder meridians.”
Hearing her speak so professionally, Bruce wore a serious look, his tone solemn as he said, “You’re right. I’ve learned my lesson. What do you suggest I do?”
Everyone in the room looked at Angela, who didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Her professionalism gave her the confidence to handle the situation. “It’s not a serious illness, but it shouldn’t be ignored either. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to regulate, and after I finish my exams in twenty days, I’ll give you an acupuncture treatment.”

Acupuncture treatment was the fastest, but she really couldn’t spare the time.
“Exams?” Bruce was stunned. “How old are you?”
Blinking. Angela honestly replied, “Nineteen. I’m still in school, Grandpa

After hearing this, he was stunned for a while, then he turned his head and stared at Jonathan, who returned his gaze with a questioning look.
Bruce’s eyes seemed to be asking. “This girl is so young. How could you have the heart to lay your hands on
her?”
To that. Jonathan was speechless, even though he understood what Bruce was trying to say.
If Angela had noticed the exchange of glances between the two, she would have delved deeper into why the old man was acting so strangely. Lowering her head, she took out a pen and paper from her small bag and quickly wrote a prescription.
Just as Sebastian was about to take it. Bruce grabbed it first, then held it and muttered, “Not bad, your handwriting is really good. Have you been practicing, young lady?”
In her previous life, Angela used to practice calligraphy in her free time. After all, she had devoted most of her time to the Kins Family, leaving very little time for herself, let alone going out for entertainment. However, practicing calligraphy at home was a relatively indoor activity.
“I only know a little.”
“You’re already fluent. If you were my granddaughter, I would be so happy that I would eat three times. more every day!”
Angela giggled. “I’ll call you Grandpa a few more times, then.”
The two of them were having a great time, and the old man had completely forgotten about his plan to make Angela his granddaughter–in–law. When he came back to his senses, he saw his grandson silently staring at him.
“Ahem… Angela, you should check on Jon first.” He still needed to create opportunities for his grandson. and future granddaughter–in–law.
Angela turned to look at Jonathan. Seeing that his complexion was better than yesterday, she shook her head. “No need to check on him today, but I’ll come and check in a few days.” She had just taken his pulse yesterday. It wouldn’t be much different today.
As she had to rush back to school for class, she bid cheerful goodbyes to everyone before Jonathan even had a chance to exchange a few words with her.
Seeing that Angela was about to leave, Bruce suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, young lady, when is your birthday?”
Although a bit puzzled. Angela answered honestly, saying that her birthday was at the beginning of next month, which would be soon, right after her exams.
No one else had ever celebrated her birthday, so she would have to celebrate it alone again. Nevertheless, she was both excited and relieved because she could enjoy her birthday cake all by herself next month.

She had just left the building when Jonathan glanced out the window and saw her happily skipping away like a naive little animal. Before she left, she even asked a gardener to trim the bushes for a flower. Then, she skipped away.
Yes, like a happy rabbit. Jonathan’s gaze lingered until he could no longer see her, and then he turned his head, only to be caught off guard by Bruce’s excited, gossiping eyes.
Jon, nineteen is not that young. In less than a month, Angela will be twenty! She can get married, then!”
Filled with enthusiasm, Bruce thought this was a reliable plan and imagined his grandson and Angela getting registered as husband and wife next month.
“Grandpa.” Jonathan frowned. “Miss Kins and I only have a doctor–patient relationship.”
Hearing him change Angela’s title, Bruce knew that he was unhappy, so he couldn’t help but slap the table and stand up. “Alright, I understand the doctor–patient relationship, but if you don’t approve of Angela, there must be someone else. Terence’s grandson is also twenty–five, and his great–grandson is already in kindergarten. That old man is proudly showing off his chubby great–grandson in front of me every day!”
Jonathan’s brows furrowed. No matter how stern he usually was, he felt somewhat helpless in the face of this lively elder relative. However, his demeanor gradually cooled down, no longer exuding the calm warmth as before. “Grandpa, I have no intention of getting married, and I won’t pursue any relationship with Miss Kins.”
Am I going to make her wait until I pass away and then mourn for me? he added silently.
For someone like him, it would be better to face his demons alone. Why should he harm Angela?
She should find a healthy man from a harmonious family, have children, and live a life filled with joy and
peace.
