Chapter 88
Annelise didn’t notice this, her long, thick cyclashes hiding her eyes.
But Adrian looked away, his voice growing raspier. “What are your plans for the clinic?”
“Still planning.”
Annelise chuckled, looking up, her beauty mark under the eye very noticeable. “My grandmother’s dream was for ev- eryone to afford medical care, so yesterday’s kind of fame isn’t suitable.”
Adrian grunted in agreement. He had originally planned to have his man arrange for medical resources to be consoli- dated for her.
It seemed now that the little Miracle Doctor had her own ideas and probably wouldn’t want him to interfere too much.
Annelise appreciated his subtle approach, raising her teacup to clink with his. “You can pay more attention to me then.”
Solo thought to himself, Isn’t my young master paying enough attention to you? He’s practically living at your little traditional apothecary!
He couldn’t say that out loud.
The young master wouldn’t even let them drive the Maybach into the narrow alleyway. It was obvious how much he cherished this “casual acquaintance” with the little Miracle Doctor.
Adrian put down his teacup and slowly stated his reason for coming today. “I heard the little Miracle Doctor doesn’t plan on treating the young master of the Winthrop family?”
“Him…” Annelise suddenly raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to him. “Where did you hear that?
I thought I was the only one who knew.”
She had rejected the Winthrop family over the phone this morning, half-asleep.
How did this man know?
Adrian cupped his hand to his mouth, coughing lightly as he said, “If you want to find something out, there’s always a way.”
Annelise thought about it and agreed. “After all, you’re a Caldwell from Brookford.”
Adrian didn’t answer, asking instead, “Why don’t you want to treat him?”
Solo wanted to know too!

Chapter 88
The old chairman had originally chosen the little Miracle Doctor to return to Brookford with them for treatment. The young master was in a rare good mood, and even though he hadn’t slept all night, he finished his work ahead of schedule just to make time to personally receive her, even instructing the kitchen to prepare traditional cuisine.
But by noon, news came from the manor that the “Silverleaf” team had rejected the Winthrop family’s offer!
At that moment, the young master’s eyes darkened.
His cough worsened, but he didn’t show anything, continuing with his international conference call and finalizing his trip to England.
When the meeting ended, Solo couldn’t hold back anymore and suggested, “Why don’t we go see the little Miracle Doctor? You haven’t been there in a while, young master. Maybe she’s been thinking about you.”
And so, they came to Clearwater Lane.
Solo had originally planned to ask right away, but his young master was too composed, acting as if whether the little Miracle Doctor treated him or not had nothing to do with him.
Annelise looked at the handsome face so close to hers. “Are you close with that young master of the Winthrop fami- ly?”
Hearing her tone, Adrian’s fingertips paused. “It’s average.”
