Ethan, who seemed to be into this game, asked intriguingly,” You’re young and capable. May I ask if you’re married?”
Olivia spared him a glance. “A wise man never falls in love.”
Marina was stunned, doubting if he was here to see her. She couldn’t understand why he was curious about a stranger’s marital status.
Still, she didn’t dare to do anything that might make him hate her. He ignored her for so long, and it was a rare chance for him to come.
She said carefully, “Ethan ..”
Only then did Ethan recall that he cover in the nof visiting Marina.
He shifted his gaze onto her. Marina appeared skinnier than years ago. Pale faced, she sat in the wheelchair while staring at him pitifully.

He inquired, “It’s been a long time. How have you been?” She answered with teary eyes, “l-l’m fine.”

You must stay for the night to keepcompany for tea.”

She definitely wasn’t here to play the good guy; she had her motives.
“Yes,” she answered briefly.
He began showering her with compliments again.
Before he could butter her up, she announced, “I can perform the acupuncture on Ms. Carlton starting today.”
“Great! That’s for the best! I’ll be entrusting my granddaughter to you.”
“This is my job. Let’s not waste any more time. We should start now.”
“I’ve been admiring you for a long time, Vanessa. Do you mind if I watch by the side?”
“Do as you wish.”

“That long?”
“You have to do this for three hours every day from now. Today’s just the start.
Please be mentally prepared, Ms.
Carlton.”
