Chapter 201


    Kendrick felt an unfamiliar lightness in his body, something he hadn’t experienced since his illness took


    hold.


    Doc, am I… am I really getting better?” Kendrick asked, his voice tinged with disbelief as he looked up


    at Anthea.


    With a gentle smile. Anthea nodded. “You’re halfway there. To make a full recovery, you’ll need to keep


    up with a special treatment nt Ive designed for you,” she said, handing him a neatly written


    prescription.


    As Kendrick took the paper from her, he couldn’t help but admire the elegance of her handwriting. Even


    with years of practice, his own. writing couldn’tpare.


    Comin was waiting anxiously outside the room. Anthea opened the door to find him practically


    bouncing on the balls of his feet.


    “Dr. Yeager! How’s Mr. Wright?”


    “He’s doing much better, Anthea reassured with a smile.


    Comin rushed in, eximing. “Sir!”


    Tears welled in Kendrick’s eyes as he murmured, “Comin, I know my own body, and I can tell you, I feel


    a world of difference. Miss Yeager says with more of her treatment, I’ll be as good as new.”

    “Thank goodness!” The two septuagenarians embraced, sobbing with relief.


    Meanwhile, the butler had arranged avish lunch spread. After five hours without a bite, Anthea was


    ravenous and graciously epted the invitation to dine. “And my friend?” she inquired.


    “Ms. Allen has been informed, Miss Yeager. Please, enjoy your meal while we fetch her,” the butler


    replied.


    It wasn’t long before Sarah joined them.


    “How did it go, Ann?” she asked.


    “Like a charm,” Anthea beamed.


    Sarah hugged her friend tightly. “You’re amazing. Ann!”


    Soon after, Kendrick and Corrin joined them, offering a generous reward. Even Sarah received a gift.


    Anthea epted graciously. “Remember, Kendrick, take your medicine on schedule. You’re not out of


    the woods yet, so don’t let your guard down.”


    Kendrick nodded solemnly. “I will.”


    Back at the hotel, Sarah ripped open the gift from Kendrick and gasped, “Holy smokes, it’s a BL


    Moonbeam limited edition bracelet!” BL Moonbeam was a name that spoke of luxury and exclusivity.


    The price tag of that bracelet alone was a small fortune.


    Anthea nced over. “Seems like it. I’ve got a watch and ne here, too.”


    “I can’t, this is way too much!” Sarah attempted to return the bracelet to Anthea.

    However, Anthea wouldn’t have it, “It’s from Kendrick, meant for you, Sarah. Why are you handing it


    back to me?”


    Sarah was adamant. “But it’s a thank you for curing him, not for anything I did! I saw this bracelet online


    once; it’s worth over twenty grand! If I’d known the Wrights were giving out gifts like this, I would’ve


    never epted.”


    Anthea thenforted her. “Sarah, you were there for me, and that means everything. Without you, I


    wouldn’t have set foot in the Wrights‘ estate.”


    After much reassurance, Sarah finally epted the bracelet, and they decided to explore a nearby


    night market. Despite the snow that had fallen earlier, there was a certain charm to wandering the


    market under a nket of white.


    Elsewhere, at the Lindsay household, Edna continued her routine, delivering nourishing broth to J


    After J had her soup and settled into sleep, Edna stepped outside and instructed the servants to


    keep the noise down.


    To them, Edna wasn’t just a visitor, she was the futuredy of the house, the soon–to–be matriarch of


    the Lindsay family.
