Chapter 29


    Chapter 29 It Should Be Settled


    The corners of William’s mouth curled up into a smile. He spoke unhurriedly, “Your mother is dead. Her


    ne is still with me. It was her dowry back then.” Emily was suspicious. There must be something


    wrong with him suddenly asking her to go back. Was this ne a lie? “Why should I believe you?”


    She frowned and asked, clenching her phone. “If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask your


    grandmother. She will give you the answer. I will send you the wedding invitation.” William’s expression


    was sinister, and his eyes shed with victory.


    Emily hung up the phone and ran to Lucy’s bedroom.


    Lucy was humming a song and patching some clothes. “Grandmother, I want to ask you something.”


    Emily pushed open the door and got straight to the point. Lucy stopped what she was doing and looked


    at her. “Emily, ask away.” Emily’s expression was serious as if it were something very important.


    “William said that my mother’s dowry, a ne, is with him. He told me to go get it. Is there such a


    ne?” Lucy nodded. “There is indeed such a dowry. When I was young, your grandfather gave it


    to me. Later, when your mother got married, I gave it to her.” When she said this, she looked a little


    nostalgic. “When did he ask you to go get it?” Emily clenched her fists. “Next Wednesday, the day of


    Mia and Charles’ wedding.” Lucy thought for a moment and said cautiously, “I’m afraid this matter is not


    that simple. When Evelyn died, your father did not give you this ne, but he’s asking you to go get


    it now so you will go to the wedding. I’m afraid that it’s some kind of trap. You better not go.”


    At the wedding, Emily would probably be humiliated. Emily shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ll go get the


    ne and leave. I’ll be careful not to let others see me. I’ll be in and out quickly, they won’t have a


    chance to get me.” This ne was the only relic left by her mother.


    It was very important to her and her grandmother. She had to get it back. Lucy looked at her worriedly.


    “Why don’t we just forget about it?” The ne was important, but a living person was more


    important. She didn’t want Emily and the Armstrong family to have any further contact. Emily said


    firmly, “I have made up my mind. Grandmother, I’ll be okay.” Lucy had no choice but to give up and


    helplessly reminded her, “Then be careful.” Emily nodded with a calm expression. However, her heart


    was not as rxed as she thought. On the day of the wedding, she still had to watch Charles marry


    someone else. They had been childhood friends. She’d never imagined that he would betray her like


    this.


    Yet, he’d turned and abandoned her without a second word and gotten engaged to her step-sister.


    Emily couldn’t forget or forgive it. Alright, it had been six years. It was time to settle things once and for


    all! In the blink of an eye, a week passed. During this period of time, Emily had been spending all her


    time in the medicine garden, rxing her mood. She got a call, and the caller ID showed that it was Mr.


    Hawking. “Ms. Armstrong, for a stomach ache, what acupuncture points should I target?” She didn’t


    know whether tough or cry. During this period of time, Mr. Hawking called her many times and asked


    her about acupuncture points. “Three inches below the neck, two inches below the navel.” She replied


    helplessly. Mr. Hawking continued to dig deeper, “How can these acupuncture points cure stomach


    pain? What acupuncture points are they?” “I don’t know either. That’s what Master taught me.” She had


    given herself away and let Mr. Hawking know that she knew ancient medical skills.


    He kept asking questions. It seemed that he wanted to know more about ancient medical skills.


    She could only selectively answer a few here and there. Mr. Hawking changed the topic. “Ms.


    Armstrong, how did you cultivate those rare medicinal herbs?” She rolled her eyes. “ording to the


    cultivation method of ordinary medicinal herbs.”


    “What is the medicinal theory of their effects?” “I don’t know. I just simply know what medicine to use on


    what disease.” Hearing that Mr. Hawking was still curious, Emily simply ended the conversation, “Mr.


    Hawking, let’s talk about it in the future. I have an urgent matter here, so I’ll hang up first.”


    These days, Mr. Hawking repeatedly probed and asked her about the medicinal herbs. She couldn’t do


    anything to get out of it.


    Shaking her head, she continued to water the herbs.


    At the same time, in Country F, Lucas busied himself for a week to deal with all kinds of business


    matters.


    He rubbed his eyes and continued to study the documents in his hand. He used a pen to makeN?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    annotations. Mason asked with concern, “Young Master Greens, rest for a while. I’m afraid your health


    will suffer.”


    Lucas waved his hand. “I’m fine. This is thest document. We can return to China as soon as we


    finish.”


    The medicine given by Emily was very effective.


    After he finished taking them, his chest did not hurt again. Especially after taking the medicinal bath, he


    slept well every night, and his spirit was very good the next day. “Young Master Greens, it seems that


    Ms. Armstrong’s treatment is still effective. When we return to the country, we have to continue the


    treatment.” Mason smiled, he had observed all the changes in Lucas’ health.


    Lucas did notment and yawned.


    He did not rest much this week.


    In addition, there was still the injury on his shoulder. He was still stressing his body.
