The lotus seeds cost her more than twenty dollars per pound, which was not considered cheap.
After careful consideration, Angela decided not to make a fuss about it. Instead, she gathered. all the remaining ingredients and bought more from the market the next day. She brought everything to the Lawson Residence.
Upon her arrival, she noticed that there were several Rosebushes that had been newly transplanted in the small garden by the entrance. These plants bloomed in various colors- bright red, delicate pink, orange–yellow, and white. Each flower was exquisitely beautiful and emitted an ethereal aura, making it feel like springtime even though it was a cool autumn day.
Unable to resist the temptation, Angela leaned in to smell the flowers and was instantly greeted by a sweet, elegant fragrance.
It was a delightful scene.
When she entered the house, she noticed Jonathan reading a newspaper by the floor–to- ceiling window. Upon hearing her arrival, he didn’t look up and remained seated.
Nevertheless, she cheerfully greeted him, “Your flowers are beautiful, Jonathan.”
At her words, the man’s gaze shifted from the newspaper to her. Sitting in front of the window filled with roses, he smiled slightly.
That smile dazzled Angela. A handsome man’s smile could truly make one’s heart flutter.
Angela quickly nodded and hurried off to the kitchen.
Jonathan was a figure to be admired from afar and someone not to be trifled with. She dared not entertain any inappropriate thoughts and focused solely on çuring his illness!
Even so, while she was asking Sebastian where to put things, the image of what she had just seen couldn’t help but pop up in her mind.
Why did she fall for Christopher as if she was a moth to a flame in her previous life when there was a god–like figure like Jonathan?
Were people that masochistic by going after those who did not reciprocate their feelings?
It wasn’t until she started cooking the medicinal meals that she completely forgot about this

and focused on preparing the ingredients. Sebastian watched for a while and couldn’t help. but marvel.
This medicinal meal was not something an ordinary person could make as it seemed incredibly complicated.
He had initially wanted to learn a bit so that he could cook for himself when he was much older and retired, but he gave up after observing.
Ninety minutes later, Angela finally emerged from the kitchen while Sebastian was already out watering the flowers.
She relied on herself and moved the round table from the corner of the living room Jonathan’s front. Then, she went to the kitchen to bring out the lotus seed porridge, a few appetizers, and milk oatmeal cookies.
“Jonathan, let’s have the medicinal meal for lunch today.”
“Alright.” Jonathan put away his newspaper.
Angela brought over a stool to sit and rest for a while, but her eyes were on the newspaper. The first headline was about the bright prospects of real estate in the next decade.
She couldn’t help but lean over to see which author had such foresight. This person has a good eye.
The prospects of real estate in the next ten or so years are not just good. They’re incredibly good. The prices have only risen by a bit, but they’ll increase multiple folds in at few years‘ time. Jonathan, you should buy more properties now. Trust me, you won’t lose out in the future.”
Jonathan glanced at her. “Oh, you’re also interested in real estate?”
“I’m just guessing. Trust me, Jonathan. You won’t go wrong.” Angela was serious. “I’m planning to save my money, take the opportunity, and buy two or three properties. In the future, when. I want to rest and don’t want to work, I can live off the rent from these properties and be a landlady.”
“But no matter how much money you earn, it’s not as important as being healthy.” She looked straight into Jonathan’s eyes. “As long as you’re alive, there’s hope. If you’re dead, there’s nothing left.”
Angela thought of her ridiculous past life, stood up straight, and looked out the floor–to- ceiling window. “It’s not for anything else. Even if it’s just to watch the daily sunrise and sunset or see the flowers that I like, I want to live happily.”
The people of the Kins Family were not as important to her as the few flowers outside. At

least those flowers brought her joy when she saw them.
She turned back and looked directly at Jonathan. “Jonathan, I hope you live a good life, Stay safe and be happy forever.”
Although she was looking at him, it didn’t seem that way. It also didn’t seem like she was giving him orders; it was more like a wish.
No one would tell someone to live well without reason.
Jonathan didn’t ask. His gaze flickered, and he avoided her eyes. After a while, he answered in a slightly husky voice, “Yes, I will live well.”
Angela’s lips instantly curled up, and her mood became extremely good.
Then, he quickly added, “I’ll have to see how you do as a landlady.”
She burst into laughter.
She had never noticed before, but the man could be quite humorous.
Jonathan stared at her face, seemingly puzzled as to why she was laughing.
Angela continued to laugh as she served him food, then plopped herself down on a chair. Johan, I hope you don’t mind if I join you for lunch.”
“Not at all.” His voice seemed to regain its usual coldness, but she felt that he was not as distant as before.
After a while, Sebastian came in. Angela gestured for him to join them at the table. Sebastian tried to resist, but Jonathan told him to sit down, and he obediently complied.
At the table, she occasionally chatted with Sebastian, mostly receiving compliments on her cooking skills from him. With Jonathan listening from the side, it created a warm atmosphere.
Seeing the pleasant atmosphere, Angela took the opportunity to ask, “Sebastian, why can’t Jonathan walk?”
Sebastian hesitated, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. “Actually, Mr. Lawson used to be able to walk. However, his health deteriorated, and the medication he took gradually made him unable to walk. It was only in recent years that he became completely immobile.”
Angela felt a bit relieved. She had not brought up the idea of treating Jonathan’s legs before because he was too weak at the time. The priority was to nourish his body and ensure he got

enough sleep.
She could have asked recently, but she was afraid that he didn’t want to reveal his secret and delayed her question until now.
If his condition resulted from the side effects of medication and toxins, it would be much easier to treat compared to if it was caused by a car accident or something similar.
“After lunch, I will examine Jonathan’s legs.”
Sebastian was thrilled. How could I say no? “Angela, you even know how to treat paralysis?”
“My grandmother is well–known in our area for her acupuncture skills, including a technique. for treating leg paralysis. I can try it on Jonathan.”
Angela subtly glanced at Jonathan’s expression.
Sure enough, upon hearing that there was a possibility of treating his legs, his expression remained calm and composed.
She wondered what could possibly evoke any other emotion on his stoic face.
“Thank you in advance, Angela!” Sebastian was almost brought to tears. “I have heard about your grandmother’s exceptional acupuncture skills. She used to be a medical lecturer and taught numerous students. I searched everywhere for her, and although I couldn’t find her, I met you. It seems that everything in this world is destined!”
Mr. Lawson’s health had been deteriorating for several years, but fate had brought Angela, their savior, to his side!
