Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 413

“Mrs. Schwartz, Mr. Schwartz,” the butler announced as he approached. “Dr. Zigmund’s student, Dr. Houston, has arrived.”

“Please, show him in,” Hannah said eagerly.

She had heard Dr. Zigmund mention this Dr. Houston before, a young man with exceptional medical skills. He was apparently a candidate for the Global Medical Alliance Association, an organization long dominated by other countries. No one from Orient Country had managed to join in nearly half a century. To even qualify for consideration was a testament to Dr. Houston’s incredible talent.

“Yes, ma’am.” The butler bowed slightly and, a moment later, returned with Harold, who was impeccably dressed and carrying several gifts.

“My!” Hannah’s eyes lit up as she saw Harold, her gaze sweeping over him with approval. “What a fine, sharp-looking young man! Such remarkable presence!”

He was just as exceptional as Dr. Zigmund had described.

“Thank you for having me. I apologize for the intrusion,” Harold said, handing the gifts to a servant before greeting the elderly couple with perfect decorum.

“Sit, please!” Kent said with a warm, friendly smile. “You are Zigmund’s student, which makes you like a nephew to us.”

“That’s right,” Hannah added, beaming at Harold. “Make yourself at home. No need to be so formal.”

“Thank you,” Harold replied with a graceful nod.

“By the way,” Hannah spoke up again after a moment. “Are you married, Dr. Houston?”

Instantly, Kent and Shanley both shot her a look. They knew exactly what the old matriarch was up to. She couldn’t resist playing matchmaker for every promising young person she met. She was probably already mentally scrolling through the eligible young women in the Schwartz family.

“Grandma—” Shanley began, frowning as he tried to intervene.
