A Rose 438
“If you darepete with me, I’m going to have to beat you up.”
Adam, tall and imposing, naturally exuded an authoritative presence.
Ashton and Sean immediately backed down. As much as they wanted to be by their beloved sister’s
side, they couldn’t handle Adam’s fists!
After all, Adam was a former special forces soldier. How could they possibly be a match for him?
“We get it, we get it, Adam. We won’tpete with you for Yvie!” Ashton and Sean muttered
begrudgingly.
Good, those two brats knew their ce!
Seeing this, Adam raised his eyebrows triumphantly, but as soon as he turned, he saw Yvette
standing
behind him.
The smug expression on his face instantly vanished.
Oh, no! He’d just acted like a thug–what if Yvette got a bad impression of him and stopped liking
him?
“Yvie!”
Adam immediately squeezed out a gentle smile from his rugged, chiseled face. “I’m actually very
gentle, so don’t be afraid of me!”
Gentle?
Ashton and Sean rolled their eyes so hard they literally saw the back of their skull. Did Adam even
know the meaning of the word gentle?
Seeing the tough man act so cautiously in front of her, Yvette didn’t have the heart to make things
difficult for him. She nodded obediently. “I’m not afraid.”
Only then did Adam’s face light up with a smile again, his eyes full of hope as he asked, “Yvie, how
about I take you to school?”
“Okay.” Yvette nodded in agreement. After all, she had something she needed to talk to him about.
Seeing her agree, Adam was overjoyed, almost like arge, excited dog..
Jacob sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead. He clearly hadn’t expected that Adam would
disy such innocent foolishness one day. He immediately gave up onpeting with him.
Forget it, it was rare to see him this happy. He would give him this one!
Jacob’s assistant, Jack, walked in briskly. “Mr. Murray, Chanel has released theirtest collection,”
he reported respectfully. “Shall we ce an order for everything as usual and send it to Ms. Yvette’s
room?”
“Yes.” Jacob nodded, then added, “And make sure to send thetest collection to the Smith
Residence as well.
“Yes, Mr. Murray,” Zack responded respectfully but couldn’t help but chuckle as he spoke again,
“Mr. Murray, everything you buy for Ms. Yvette, Ms. Nancy gets a share too. People who don’t know
might think you have another little sister!”
He’d never seen Jacob care so much about any other woman besides Yvette. Could it be that
Nancy was the futuredy of the Murray family?
At that, Jacob fell into deep thought, his long, slender fingers tapping gently on the table.
2/3
It was true that his concern for Nancy far exceeded that for others. However, Jacob quickly came up
with an exnation in his mind.
Nancy was as well–behaved and as understanding as Yvette. It was only natural that he treated her
a bit more special!
With this thought, Jacob no longer dwelled on it and regained hisposure, sneering inwardly. He
would never be like Wilson, that old beast, who preyed on younger women!
In the car, Yvette said, “Adam, I’ve already made arrangements with the Elixirs Apothecary. Just
mention my name, and they’ll give you the medicine.”
Adam was incredibly touched. He had mentioned the issue to her yesterday, and Yvette had not
only remembered but had already taken care of it today.
His precious little sister was truly an angel!
“Thank you so much, Yvie, I really appreciate it!”
With this medicine, even if they got injured during missions, they’d recover quickly. It was a huge
boon for
them!
Yvette shook her head. “No need to thank me.”
They were family, after all. Helping him was a matter of course. Besides, it wasn’t a difficult task for
her.
Adam’s affection for Yvette grew. Not only had she saved his life in a critical moment, but now she’d
helped him solve such a major problem. His little sister was truly his lucky star!
“Yvie, how much does the medicine cost?”
Without even looking up, Yvette replied, “It’s free.”
She might like money, but she would never overcharge her own family.
“No way, Yvie!” Adam frowned, adamantly insisting, “I must pay for it. I can’t take advantage of
you.”
Seeing how stubborn he was, Yvette rubbed her temples with her delicate fingers and casually gave
a price. “Fine, Adam. The medicine is 100 dors per bottle.”
“What?” Adam was so shocked that his eyes widened. “It’s that cheap?”
How could such an effective medicine be sold at such a low price? That’s absurd!
Yvette nodded without batting an eye. “Yes, it’s really that cheap.”
If the people from the Elixirs Apothecary knew that Yvette was selling the medicine for 100 dors a
bottle, they’d probably be so heartbroken they’d practically spit blood.

On the ck market, just one small bottle was being sold for a million, and even at that price, there
wasn’t enough supply to meet demand.
Everyone was scrambling to get their hands on it.
But for Yvette, making this medicine was simple. She had developed the form when she was
only 10 years old, originally as a fun experiment. However, since the medicine was so effective, she
kept the recipe
“Alright then!”
Adam had prepared himself to spend a fortune, but he hadn’t expected the medicine to be this
affordable!
3/3
His precious little sister was truly his lucky star!
Seeing Adam so happy, Yvette smiled faintly.
“Yvie, do you know the people at the Elixirs Apothecary?”
Only now did Adam realize that the Elixirs Apothecary, backed by the Dark Organisation, was
notorious for its high–profile and arrogant conduct. How had Yvie, who had just returned to Jubilife,
be connected with them?
“Not very well,” Yvette lied with a straight face.
She wasn’t lying–it was just that they were only a little bit familiar!
Adam didn’t say anything. He couldn’t seem to believe her words.
“Mr. Murray, we’ve arrived at Jubilife University,” the driver said, interrupting Adam’s thoughts.
Adam gently patted Yvette’s head, his tone unusually soft. “Yvie, I’lle pick you up after school!”
If his teammates could hear the gentleness in his voice, their eyes would surely pop out of their
heads in
shock.
