Chapter 87
At the word “invitation,” Solo’s eyes shot over!
Adrian replied calmly, “You could say that.”
Annelise’s eyes were stunning. “Trying to do a good deed without taking credit?”
Adrian coughed lightly, his voice still a bit hoarse. “My health is poor. The invitation would be wasted on me since I can’t go. It’s better to give it to you, the doctor.”
Annelise raised an eyebrow. “You never thought about trying your luck? The Winthrop family invited so many fa- mous doctors, one of them has to be able to cure you.”
Adrian lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes casting a shadow. “I thought about it before. But after meeting you, I don’t think it’s necessary anymore.”
As soon as he said that, everyone froze.
Solo dropped the wooden soaking tub.
Annelise’s hand, which was pouring tea, paused.
Over there, Qi, who was still in the Horse Stance, snapped upright, his round, fierce predator’s eyes staring intently at the handsome man!
Adrian also realized his words were too ambiguous. He frowned and explained, “I was talking about skills.”
“I know.”
Annelise smiled nonchalantly. “Have a seat. I’m going inside to get something.”
Adrian did as she said, picking up the tea from the stone table.
your medical
Solo realized this clinic must be magical. The moment his young master entered the courtyard, all his usual fastidi- ousness vanished. He didn’t care if the tea was good or even drinkable; it was as if his germaphobia was cured!
When Annelise went inside, the old lady was still on the phone, repeating herself for who knows how many times.
“Don’t you worry, our Annelise is very good-tempered and teachable. She won’t take up too much of your time.”
“What did you say?
You’re afraid of her?”
“Oh my, Leo, you can’t just lie to your Madam Whitman because you don’t want to teach her.”

On the other end of the line, Leo was just about to say, “I’m not! You have no idea how your granddaughter is…”
A cool voice drifted over. “Grandma, if Leo really doesn’t want to, then let it be. We can’t force people.”
Leo immediately said, “Madam Whitman, don’t worry! What you asked for isn’t a problem at all. I’ll definitely do it!”
Only then did Madam Whitman hang up, satisfied. She then looked up at Annelise. “You… how many times have I told you? You should treat Leo like an older brother.”
“Him? An ‘older brother”?”
Annelise gave a faint smile. “I’m afraid if I actually did, he’d drop to his knees.”
The old lady was getting on in years and hard of hearing. “What did you say?”
“Nothing. I’m just getting something for my friend who isn’t well.”
As she spoke, Annelise packed the Wild Ginseng Root and Reishi Mushroom she had gathered on the mountain yes- terday into a box, adding an Herbal Sachet as well.
She moved quickly. By the time she came back out, Adrian hadn’t even finished a pot of tea.
“Here.”
Annelise placed the box on his lap. “Use this as an herbal remedy according to the proportions inside. Add it to your daily soup. I’ve also written down the other dietary restrictions for you on a piece of paper.”
Adrian looked up at her.
One was sitting, the other standing.
Both were strikingly attractive, creating an indescribable sense of beauty.
Annelise’s left hand rested on the Herbal Sachet. “When you get home, place this by your bedside. It will calm your nerves and help you sleep.”
The light scent of medicinal herbs was comforting, not pungent at all.
Adrian’s fingertips brushed over it. “Did you make this yourself too?”
“Yes. A thank-you gift.”
Annelise laughed freely, and when she leaned forward in her white T-shirt, a hint of her collarbone showed. Her face was beautiful enough to start a war, leaving you parched.
Adrian’s eyes darkened, his fingertips unconsciously turning the teacup, as if trying to suppress a strange itch in his throat…
