“What is this?” Ethan took therge bag from Isabelle and immediately smelled the strong scent of medicinal herbs.
He quickly opened it and confirmed that it was indeed medicine. Then, the <b>words </b>Maven Apothecary on the bag filled Ethan with even more hope.
He could not hide his excitement as he looked at Isabelle.
Isabelle then exined to Ethan how to decoct the medicine, which ones were for drinking, and which ones were for soaking his feet.
Ethan listened carefully, making sure to remember all the instructions.
“Remember, the water should cover your knees when you’re soaking your foot. Only soak your left foot, and make sure the water temperature is as high as you can tolerate. You should cover the bucket with a towel during the soak to keep the steam in, and soak for half an hour each time.”
“Isabelle, these medicines must be expensive, right?”
“It’s not that expensive. Only the two ginsengs were a bit expensive, but she did <b>not </b>spend any money on them.
“The muscles in the injured part of your left foot haven’t necrotized yet. So you should soak it for a while and then I’ll give you acupuncture.”
“Acupuncture?”
“You’ll know when the timees.” After saying this, Isabelle took her acupuncture kit and went <b>back </b>to her room.
Ethan set aside his homework and carefully took out two sets of medicine from the bag before going to the kitchen.
As he smelled the fragrance of the herbs, Ethan’s face turned slightly red with excitement.
He eagerly anticipated the day when he could walk normally. Just the thought of it made his heart beat irregrly.
Perhaps no one could understand the emotions he was experiencing at this moment.
Ethan had undergone a transformation after he had seen a <b>glimmer </b>of hope. He used to be silent<b>, </b>gloomy. and would keep himself. Moreover, he hardly spoke to anyone at school and would sit at his desk all day.
Despite being as handsome as the <b>school </b>heartthrob Mike, he was always ignored by his ssmates. To them, Ethan was that cripple in ss 1. A more polite way to describe him was the top student with a limp in ss 1.
It was not until a few days ago, when he fought with the son of the chairman of the Starspring Group<b>, </b>that <b>the </b>unknown Ethan became the second most well–known person in the entire school, after Isabelle.

“Did you hear? Harry has been transferred!”
“Transferred? Why? The other students who started the trouble only had to write self–criticisms, and besides, his family is very rich. Why would he transfer? Did he go to a better school?”
“I heard that Harry’s parents <b>brought </b>several bodyguards to the school and went straight to the principal’s office, while <b>Ethan </b>was all alone.
“Everyone thought Ethan was doomed, but guess what? Harry was carried out on a stretcher to an ambnce in the end!”
“Wasn’t his injury minor? Or did something else happen in the principal’s office?”
“I heard that Isabelle went to the principal’s officeter. She’s the one who got us the new principal.”
“Who would have thought that Ethan is Isabelle’s younger brother?”
“That cripple is Isabelle’s brother?”
“How dare you still call him a cripple!”
If Isabelle’s transformation from a poor student to a top student, surpassing even Mike, and making the principal and teachers apologise in front of the whole <b>school</b>, leading to their dismissal, was not enough to prove that she was extraordinary, then Ethan, Isabelle’s younger brother, getting into a fight with the son of the chairman of the Starspring Group certainly did. In the end, Ethan did not receive any punishment or have to write a self–criticism, while the wealthy and influential Harry was forced to transfer schools. This made people believe that Isabelle truly had a powerful background!
Today, as Ethan walked around the school, he attracted more attention from the girls. Many people also noticed that he was in a good mood.
Although he did not smile or initiate conversations with anyone, it was clear that even his eyes were
different.
“I just realised that <b>Ethan </b>is just as handsome as the school heartthrob Mike!”
“I noticed that a long time ago. It’s a shame about his foot. Otherwise, Mike might not be the school heartthrob.”
“So what? He’s smart, good–looking, and has such a powerful sister. So, he’s definitely going to have a bright future.”
The college entrance examination was approaching-
So, La returned to Norward City a few days before the exam.
Both mother and daughter were beaming. They did not look like they had attended a rtive’s wedding, but rather like they had won some kind of prize.
They had changed their clothes and were dressed to the nines, especially Eleanor, who looked like <b>a </b>woman from a big city. Despite the <b>hot </b>weather, she was wearing a scarf and her eyes were almost closed fromughing.

Of course<b>, </b>Isabelle did not ept it.
“Fine.” La decided to keep it for herself.
Ethan took the gift from his second sister to Isabelle’s room.
“Isabelle, I don’t think Mom and La went to a wedding.”
Isabelle responded, “What they do has nothing to do with me?
Ethan felt <b>that </b>something was off, but he could not quite put his finger on it,
In the evening, as Ethan was preparing the medicine, Eleanor smelled it and made her way to the kitchen. Upon learning that Isabelle bought the medicine for <b>Ethan’s </b>foot treatment, Eleanor became furious and wanted to pour <b>it </b><b>away</b>.
“You can’t just take any medicine! It could be fatal if something goes wrong. Are you trying to kill yourself?
“That girl is trying to poison you! Gosh!”
William came out of the room to restrain Eleanor, exining. This medicine <b>was </b>specially prescribed by Mr. <b>Garth </b>from the Maven Apothecary in Taragon City”
He pointed at the paper wrapping the medicine with the words Maven Apothecary. “Mr. Garth prescribed it for her? Have you lost your mind?” Eleanor, who was not very educated, knew about Mr. <b>Garth’s </b>fame. She did not believe that Isabelle could obtain medicine prescribed by Mr. Garth, and was convinced <b>that </b>it was a counterfeit from Maven Apothecary.
“Did Isabelle go to Taragon City? When?” La noticed this detail.
“Yeah, when did she go to Taragon City? Howe I didn’t know?” Eleanor chimed in.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“The day after you guys left,” William rified.
Eleanor remained sceptical and persistent. She argued that Ethan’s foot had been in bad condition for so many years, so it could not be cured by simply taking some medicine. She insisted on preventing Ethan from taking it and attempted to grab another packet of medicine that had not been prepared yet to <b>throw</b>
it away.
“Ethan <b>has </b>been taking it for several days now. Isn’t he doing well?” William initially shared the same doubts, but upon seeing Ethan’s improved spirits in recent days, he allowed him to continue taking the
medicine.
Although he knew <b>that </b>his son’s foot was unlikely to improve, he still wanted to give it a try even if it could only provide <b>a </b>slight improvement.
During the struggle, the medicine/was scattered all over the floor.
Ethan looked at the medicine scattered on the ground, slowly squatted, and picked up the medicine in his
hand.
“Ethan.” William felt heartbroken and quickly squatted down to help pick them up.

The college entrance examination arrived <b>as </b>scheduled.
Isabelle, keeping track of the time, gathered her exam supplies and left the house. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Ethan waiting for her at their usual meeting spot before going to school.
Ethan was on break during the exam. Right now, he was wearing the clothes Isabelle had bought for him. Compared to his gloomy appearance when they first met, he finally looked a bit more lively.
“I’ll take you to school,” Ethan said.
There’s no need, Isabelle thought.
I’m free anyway.” Ethan said and walked ahead.
To Ethan, the college entrance examination was a significant event in one’s life. Other students had their parents and family members drop them off. Although he knew that the exam was not stressful for Isabelle, he did not want her to face it alone when he could apany her.
Isabelle was assigned to take the exam at her own school, so Ethan escorted her to the school gate.
Isabelle arrived quitete, and Ethan urged her to enter the examination room.
Then, Isabelle waved at him and leisurely strolled into the school gate.
The parents at the gate shook their heads as they observed Isabelle’s rxed attitude, convinced that she must be a poor student who was bad at her studies.
“Is the college entrance examination today?” George, who was preparing to go to thepany early in the morning, suddenly remembered.
Dn quickly replied, “Yes, Mr. George, it’s today.”
He thought to himself, <i>Is </i>he asking about Miss Jenkins?
