Chapter 468: The Free Clinic Begins
Hearing Harold’s voice, Dennis’s arrogance completely dissipated, and he shut his mouth awkwardly, though he still looked down on Olivia in his heart.
In the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the country, his status was unparalleled. Apart from a few major families, which traditional Chinese medicine practitioner did not treat him with utmost respect?
He had heard of most of the well-known traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the country.
But this woman, he had never heard of her before. One look and he could tell she was a nobody.
If it weren’t for Mr. Ramos and Young Master Hargraves backing her up, she wouldn’t dare to speak to him like that!
Seeing Dennis back down, Harold turned to Olivia and nodded reassuringly.
Olivia gratefully thanked him, “Thank you, senior. Don’t worry, I’m in great shape now.”
Initially, she was indeed a bit nervous, but Dennis’s provocation had replaced her nervousness with anger. Now, she just wanted to prove herself to Dennis and make him retract his prejudice against her.
Seeing that she was unaffected, Harold breathed a sigh of relief.
Cameron, standing nearby, watched the two of them with a meaningful look.
He had already known they were acquainted when he met Harold in the office earlier.
But he hadn’t expected their relationship to be this good.
A brief silence fell over the room.
There was a faint commotion at the door, followed by a staff member’s reminder, “Young Master Hargraves, the free clinic is starting, the children are here.”
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly got into position, adjusted their expressions, and smiled warmly at the door.
Four adorable little kids lined up and walked in.
Seeing the four people inside, the little ones couldn’t help but blush.
Except for Dennis, who was middle-aged and had a bit of a beer belly, the other three were quite attractive. Even though they smiled kindly, the kids couldn’t help but feel shy and hesitated to step inside.
In such situations, Cameron had some experience. He was about to step forward to bring them in when he saw Olivia already walking over.
“Hello there!” Olivia squatted down in front of the kids with a smile and affectionately patted their heads.
As she approached, the kids became even shyer and tried to shrink back with flushed faces.
But Olivia magically produced a handful of candies from somewhere and showed them to the kids in her palm, speaking softly, “These candies are delicious. Do you want some?”
The kids couldn’t resist the candies and stared eagerly at Olivia’s hand.
Olivia smiled and withdrew her hand, then extended her other empty hand towards a little girl, “Come on, let me check your body first, and then I’ll give you some candy.”
The little girl looked at her timidly, thinking that the woman in front of her was not only beautiful but also smelled nice. She smiled at her as if she were glowing.
Seeing the little girl’s expression reminded Olivia of the first time she saw Sophia. Sophia had been just as scared.
Thinking of this, Olivia’s expression softened even more. She patiently looked at the little girl.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
After a while, the little girl finally cautiously extended her hand and held one of Olivia’s fingers.
Olivia sighed in relief and led the little girl to lie down on a small bed.
The remaining three kids instinctively wanted to follow her but were blocked by three big men. They nervously shrank back.
Olivia glanced back and shook her head helplessly. She said to the kids, “You don’t necessarily have to let me check your body. If you let Uncles check you, I’ll still give you candies.”
Hearing this, the kids hesitated for a moment before timidly lying down on the other three small beds.
