Annalise’s first reaction was to refuse him, but Jonathan accepted the gift before she could do it. Jonathan was all smiles as he thanked Alan. “Then, on behalf of our traditional medicine team, I thank Mr. Jones. Thank you so much. I am indeed a little hungry. Guys, please distribute this.”
The traditional medicine team had ten members. Alan had prepared ten gifts for everyone. He made special arrangements for both men and women. The male doctors were given three-piece suits, leather belts, money clips, and watches. The female doctors were given a branded bag and a set of cosmetics.
Alan was not stingy. Each set of gifts was worth tens of thousands of dollars. you, Gwen saw what happened and felt that Jonathan was cheap. Look at how happy he was with such a paltry amount of gifts. How could she have known that Jonathan accepted the gift purely because he wanted to befriend someone like Alan? Why? Jonathan had heard from Ms. Tuffin that Alan’s grandfather had a condition. Annalise had cured him.
Back then, Ms. Tuffin had arranged for Annalise to treat him. Firstly, her Murray’s 49 Needles technique had already surpassed her. Secondly, Ms. Tuffin also wanted the Jones family to owe Annalise a favor. Later on, Jonathan heard that during Old Mr. Parks’s birthday banquet, Alan stood up for Annalise. And now, Alan was providing support for the traditional medicine team. Jonathan could tell that Alan was a grateful person. Of course, he had to befriend such a person.
In addition to these factors, there was another reason. Alan looked handsome and talented. Annalise needed to have a few male friends like Alan. He wanted to make Julian feel threatened at all times.
He wanted to let Julian know that Annalise was very popular, and if Julian let go of her, he would never get her back. Julian must pamper Annalise at all times. Otherwise, she would be snatched away in minutes.
When Gwen saw Alan expressing his goodwill to the traditional medicine team, she narrowed her eyes slightly. Alan must not have seen the power of modern medicine. In the next few days, she would show
Alan how her team would crush the traditional medicine team. Gwen walked past Alan and nodded at him with a smile before leaving. She believed that such a first impression was perfect.
Seeing that John had accepted the gift, Annalise could not say anything else. When her team member passed her the bag and cosmetics, she could only receive them and thanked Alan. “Thank you, Mr. Jones.”
“You’re welcome. Go and rest. Rest well.” Alan smiled and said gently. Then, he nodded at Julian. Julian nodded slightly. Although Alan greeted him, he was not very happy. He looked at the bag in Annalise’s hand and thought that it looked extremely ugly. After they left the hospital, they returned to the villa. The housekeepers were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Julian let Annalise lie down and put her leg on his lap. He massaged her calf to relax her muscles. As he gave her a massage, he said, “This bag doesn’t look good. Why don’t we sell it?” Annalise could not help but laugh. “This won’t sell for much. Besides, we don’t need this little bit of money.” Julian added, “Why don’t we give it to the housekeepers to buy groceries?”
Annalise was reluctant. She said, “No. No matter how good or bad the bag looks, it’s a token of others’ appreciation. If you like it, I’ll wear it often. If you don’t, I’ll take good care of it and keep it.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
When Julian heard that Annalise still wanted to keep it, he felt jealous. He felt that Alan’s motive was not pure. Let’s wait and see, he thought. If Alan had an ulterior motive and wanted to deceive Annalise, Julian would not make life easy for him. After lunch… Julian dragged Annalise to the mall. “What are you doing?” Annalise was surprised.
She had wanted to rest in the afternoon because she had to treat the rheumatism patient tomorrow. She also had to give acupuncture to the liver cancer and kidney stone patients. It would be even more tiring than today. However, Julian was very insistent, so she accompanied him there. “I’ll buy you a bag,” Julian said.
Annalise did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I don’t need it. Didn’t you buy me two bags a week ago?” “I’m going to buy you all the new bags,” said Julian. He would never admit that he was jealous. He wanted to buy her all the new bags so that she would only carry the bags he had bought for her.
“That’s too extravagant. There are so many new designs released every month.” Annalise could not help but laugh. “It’s not. I want only the best for you.” Julian dragged Annalise to the counter and asked the salesperson to bring out all the new designs. Julian looked at the row of bags on the counter and was extremely satisfied. “Wrap them all up.”
He felt any one of these bags would look better than the one Alan had given her. “I don’t need so many bags. There’s nowhere to put them,” Annalise said. “Don’t worry. It’ll fit in our house.” If there was nowhere to put them, he would buy a few more houses and especially put her bags there.
After buying the bags, Julian felt pleased. He asked Annalise if she was tired and wanted to go home for an afternoon nap. Otherwise, he would take her out. “Where are we going?” Annalise was a little excited when she heard him. *Skiing, or a quiet stroll along the park. Let’s go to the park. You still have to treat patients tomorrow. It’ll be tiring,” Julian said. “Skiing. Let’s go skiing! But is the ski resort open now?” Annalise asked.
After all, it was not snowing yet. “Yes, it’s open. They have artificial snow. The experience is not as good, but the difference is not big.” Julian said, “Then let’s go,” Annalise’s eyes lit up. “Okay.” Julian smiled. As soon as he saw her smile, he felt happy even without having to ski.
When the event ended, he would bring her to the park. At that time, the ginkgo leaves would look even more vivid and beautiful. The ground would be golden, and everywhere would be shining brightly. She would put on her dress and walk on the ginkgo leaves. He would take photos and videos of her and record everything beautifully while they were young. When they would grow old, he would put two deck chairs in the courtyard. They would flip through the old photos and slowly enjoy their sunset years.
“Let’s bring a photographer and let him follow us.” Even when Annalise was having fun, she did not forget to create new content for the business. Julian’s lips curled up even more. He reached out to touch Annalise’s head and looked at her passionately. Looking at her alluring lips, his gaze deepened with passion. He reached out and gently lifted her chin, leaning down to kiss her lips gently.”
He had wanted to kiss her gently, but in the end, he could not stop himself. He only let go when Annalise nudged him to remind him they were at the mall entrance. Annalise was too embarrassed. “A lot of people are looking at us.” Instead, Julian said frankly, “We’re husband and wife.” It was as if he was announcing it.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He pulled Annalise into his arms and hugged her tightly. He whispered, “I want us to be this sweet forever. I want to fall in love with you forever. Annie, I love you!”
