Chapter 12 Who on Earth Is This Woman
Ss called out abruptly. Although he had not moved a single step from where
he stood, his aura pressed down
against Gianna. “Miss Aubrey, allow me to apologize on my family‘s behalf. My grandpa has been unco
nscious for a week now. If you can cure him, please do.” His attitude was rather polite.
Thus, Gianna stopped in her tracks and looked at him. “Didn‘t you say there are issues with my moral c
haracter, Mr. Nn? Why? Aren‘t you afraid that my moral character is so poor that I might harm the ol
d man during the treatment process?
He looked at her with those long and narrow eyes of his. “I believe in the benevolence of a doctor. I‘m s
ure you won‘t toy with a person‘s life, Miss Aubrey.” On the other hand, she rolled
her eyes at him, secretly snorting in her heart, Why isn‘t he being arrogant anymore? “I can help, but w
e‘ll need to discuss the dirty details upfront.” South‘s eyes sparkled, carrying an inexplicable sense of e
xcitement. Mommy is out to get her revenge. At the same time, Ss‘s brows furrowed together unnatur
ally. She looked him straight in the eye and said, “Mr. Nn, I‘ve agreed to treat him, but I don‘t dare to
guarantee that I canpletely cure him immediately. However, I do have confidence in being able to
cure him. At first, I wasn‘t going to take any consultation fees for my services due to my rtionship wit
h Landon. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit–
I‘m petty and I hold grudges. President Nn, my consultation fee is very high!”
He understood what she was saying. This woman isn‘t just referring
to her grudge against Penny; she‘s also
referring to her grudge against me. Fortunately, I have never cared much for money anyway. “Sure. Yo
u can name any price for your consultation fee as long as you can cure my grandpa.” Gianna nced a
t the man again. Then, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile slowly. That smile
of hers was very arrogant. “Rest assured. I‘ve taken a look at Old Man Nn‘s illness just now. He will
need a month to recoverpletely, but I can wake him up within the hour.” When Penny heard those
words, she flew into a rage. “Wow; there’s no need to pay taxes for bragging, is there? You haven’t
even examined him; do
you even know what kind of illness my grandpa is suffering from? Wake him up within the hour? Stop ta
lking out of your a*s!”
Gianna scowled fiercely. This woman‘s buzzing is more annoying than a fly. Just as
she was about to say something, she heard two voices ringing out in unison.
“Shut up!” “That‘s the difference between you and Mommy!” Both father and son defended her at the sa
me time as if they had agreed on it beforehand When Ss heard the voice, he paused slightly, Turning
around, his gaze collided with South‘s
That child‘s gaze was very self–
composed, Outwardly, it seemed like he had a calmness beyond his peers, and his eyes sparkled brigh
tly. Even Ss, who had a dislike for children, found this child extremely adorable It‘s unbelievable. I do
n‘t believe this hateful woman, Gianna Aubrey could have such an adorable son!
Simrly, it was also the first time South met his biological dad‘s gaze straight on For a moment, he wa
spletely captivated by that pair
of eyes, Compared to all the men he had met before, Ss was different. Just by standing there, his aur
a overflowed from his entire body, and it was enough to make people surrender to him.
This is the kind of daddy I want.
Afterward, South slowly withdrew his gaze and quietly leaned against Gianna, Ss nced at South, t
hen said to Gianna, “Miss Aubrey, please don‘t mind her, Please treat my grandpa!” Gianna gave Penn
y a dirty look, turned around, and walked over to the bed, Facing the patient, her expression changed d

Once she confirmed her preliminary diagnosis, she took out a rolled–

amazed. Her skill in inserting the needles was smooth from years of practice, and she was

extremely urate when locating the acupuncture points. One nce was enough to tell that she
wasn’t ordinary–her level of skill wasn‘t something that could have been achieved without
constant practice and lots of experience. At that moment, the room was
silent. Everybody stared at Gianna as she worked, including Penny, who remained unconvinced. On
the other hand, Gianna’s gaze was steady. She was utterly focused as she continued to insert the
needles into various other acupuncture points on the old man’s body.
Ss stared at the woman in front of him, from the start to the end, as she put the needles
in his grandfather‘s body, one by one. The worry and suspicions he had at the start had turned into
amazement and admiration by this point. He was beginning to develop a deep-seated
desire to understand this woman.
Just who on earth is this woman?
