The old lady immediately smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt as if she had met an angel. "That's
wonderful! My grandson finally has hope," she thought.
"Miss, my grandson is so good to me, but I'm just an old lady with no skills, and he's had to endure so much
hardship withfrom such a young age. He almost couldn't go to college.
"I don't have any other wishes. | just hope he can finish college and find a good job. Then | could die without any
regrets.
"Don't worry, once Jacob gets a job, he'll definitely pay you back for his schooling," the old lady said.
Natalie knew this was what every parent hoped for. "As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you'll
definitely see Jacob's brilliant future. As for his schooling, leave that to me," Natalie assured. The old lady,
overwhelmed with gratitude, kept holding Natalie's hand and thanking her repeatedly.
That very night, Natalie arranged for the old lady to be transferred to another hospital.
After the examination, Luna was found to have only strained her arm. It wasn't a serious issue, and she just
needed to rest at
hto recover.

Natalie and Luna followed to the new hospital, where Chris happened to be on duty. After arranging a room for
Jacob's grandmother, Natalie brought Jacob to meet Chris.
Chris, this is Jacob's grandmother's medical record. Since you are back, you can help with the surgery. It's a
minimally invasive procedure, and it's your area of expertise from your tabroad," Natalie said.
Chris picked up the scans and examined them carefully, his brows furrowing. "The shadowed area is quite
significant, but a minimally invasive surgery should work.
"I'll conduct a full-body check-up for the elderly lady tomorrow. However, you'll need to arrange a position for me
at your hospital."

Natalie had been waiting for this moment. "How about appointing you as the hospital director? The reason |
wanted you back in the first place was to have you take on this role."
"I'll immediately notify the HR department to issue the appointment. I'll be busy over the next two years and
won't have tto manage the hospital. With you here, | can rest assured," Natalie said.
Natalie knew Chris was an exceptionally skilled doctor and a trusted family member, so she naturally wanted to
keep the talent in their own hospital.
Chris beamed with joy. 'It seems like God really favors me! In the blink of an eye, I've beca director; without
having to wait until my hair turned gray to get promoted,’ he thought.
"This is amazing, Natalie. You're too good to me. Chere, givea hug," Chris exclaimed, spinning Natalie
around in
excitement.
Jacob, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy rise in his chest. Watching Chris's hands on
Natalie, his gaze darkened.
"Chris, putdown quickly, I'm getting dizzy," Natalie protested.
Chris immediately set her down, offering an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Natalie, | just got too excited."
Natalie smiled back and said, "Chris, this is Jacob. You two should exchange contacts so you can stay in touch
about his grandmother's situation."

Chris replied, "Sure!"

Then, the moment he glanced at Jacob, he froze for a moment. Wow, what a strikingly handsyoung man! No
wonder Natalie wants to help him. He's totally her type. But why does he look atlike I'm his enemy?’ Chris
wondered. Chris gave Natalie a knowing look.
Natalie rubbed her forehead. 'Could it be that Chris misunderstood something?’ she wondered.
Natalie watched as the two exchanged contacts, then turned to Jacob and said, "Jacob, you can go back to the
ward now. Chris and | will discuss your grandmother's condition.
"There are two rooms available there, and you can cook and take care of her. Just remember, open flames are
not allowed."
Jacob gave a grateful smile and said, "Thanks!" Then, nervously, he asked, "Could | have your number as well?"
After Jacob said that, he blushed. He was handsome, but under Natalie's pure gaze, he still felt a sense of
inadequacy. "Of course. Once your grandmother's surgery is over and she has recovered, I'll arrange for your
studies." Natalie gave him her number.
Jacob started to head back to take care of his grandma, but as he reached the corner, he suddenly realized he
hadn't asked for her name. Just as he turned around, he heard Chris's voice.
"Natalie, it seems like this is your first tmeeting him. Why are you helping a stranger?" Chris asked, though
he knew she had already helped countless people. However, this time, the boy she helped was really handsome.
Natalie chuckled. "Chris, aren't we supposed to help strangers? I've helped lots of people, and Jacob is just one of
them. N happened to see that kid kneeling in front of a doctor..."
Chris interrupted with a laugh. "Don't call himia kid. He's 18. You're 23. To me, you're still a kid too."
"You really know how to cash in on my favors," Chris teased. "Do you have any idea how much that technique
costs overseas? At least 400 thousand dollars, but the results are truly impressive."
. He added, "His grandmother's overall health isn't bad. After this treatment, as long as there's no recurrence,
she'll likely live
to an old age."
Natalie smiled gently, her expression full of trust. "Chris, our hospital has all the equipment, so it'll just take a
little of your time. With you performing the surgery, | have nothing to worry about." "Thanks! I'll take that as a
compliment on my ability. I'll do my best to live up to the role of director. By the way, that kid is pretty
handsome.
"You're always joking about needing more handsmen in your life, but now you don't have a single guy
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaround. Are you interested in him?" Chris teased.
"Chris, con, it was just a joke. Are you going to teaseabout it forever?" Natalie said, feeling speechless.
Chris couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Didn't your grandpa keep saying something about finding you
handsmen? | read somewhere recently that he had picked out ten male models for you."
"Yeah! Those ten male models are now working for my company" Natalie grumbled. "Speople saw them and
started spreading rumors that I'm promiscuous. Ugh, I just want to smash their disgusting heads!"
Then Vance jumped into Natalie's mind, and she thought, 'He won't be cocky for long."
"You're just too kind, and that's why they keep picking on you," Chris said. He knew her situation well and felt
sorry for her. But Chris also understood that Natalie had recently cto terms with everything, and he no
longer needed to feel sorry

Natalie was stunned. "These are the exact swords the Simpsons would say to Jennifer every tshe
pretended to say she would letgo. It turns out only those who truly love you will forgive and tolerate you
unconditionally, she thought. She took a deep breath. "Chris, I'm heading back to rest now. I'll leave the surgery
to you. Jacob is such a filial young man."
"Got it. Go take care of yourself. You're as pale as a ghost," Chris said, about to leave but suddenly stopping.
"Oh, by the way, | got the seafood you sent me. It was delicious!"
"I caught it myself. Of course, it's good," Natalie replied.
Chris looked at her as if he had something to say but hesitated. Natalie immediately guessed his thoughts and
laughed. "Chris, don't even think about it. I'm not taking you diving. You're a complete landlubber, and you'll just
dragdown." Chris looked displeased. He really wanted to try freediving, but every the got in the water,
he panicked and swam straight back up. He just couldn't bring himself to dive deeper.
"You little rascal! I'm just scared, okay? My vacation happens to be in summer. Takewith you, please. I've
