At Harper’s villa, after Stella was done checking Taya’s pulse, she finally understood why Alpha Knight was unhappy.
She glanced at the calm Taya, then at her pulse, and finally forced a smile.
“There would indeed be more difficulty conceiving after taking medication for an extensive period of time, but please trust my skills.”
Stella was a doctor proficient in both modern and traditional medicine, and she had helped many women with infertility issues too.
Taya’s case was indeed a tricky one. Her body was weak, and she just had a major operation. Plus, the medication she was on now didn’t help her situation.
But Stella believed that with her proficiency in traditional medicine, there should be a way to recuperate Taya’s body… When Taya heard this, she withdrew her hand and smiled at Stella.
“Thank you for your hard work, and for making a special trip for this.”
As soon as Taya returned to the villa, Stella had already arrived with a medical bag.
Seeing how Taya reacted to her comments, Stella realized that the decision to treat her body had been made by Griffon alone.
Taya felt that no matter what she did, someone who was on long term medications like her would always have difficulty conceiving.
But seeing how enthusiastic Stella was, rushing in to see her without even properly removing her white coat, Taya didn’t have the heart to refuse her.
After Stella wrote a string of incomprehensible medicinal materials on the prescription list, she raised her head and said to Taya, “I’ve prescribed some herbs for you, then you can go try out with Alpha Knight and see if it works..”
Taya’s face turned red when she heard this. She had to finish the herbs, and tried it out with him to see if it worked…
Seeing that the tips of her ears were turning red, Stella purposely made a joke. “We won’t know if it works unless we try.”
Taya always thought that Stella was a serious, cold, and resolute person, so she didn’t expect her to speak so boldly.
She picked up the coffee on the table, pretended to be nonchalant, and took a sip. Before she could swallow it, Stella’s
Voice was heard once again.
”
I’m not trying to be rude but may I ask if you and Alpha Knight had intercourse in Washington? How many times did you guys do it…”
The sip of coffee slipped halfway down her throat, and the other half was still in her mouth. She tried her best to swallow the rest down, but ended up choking.
Taya could only pull out a tissue while coughing, spit all the coffee on the tissue, and finally recover her composure…
However, Stella was still looking at her with a half-smile.
“Don’t be shy, I’m just a doctor, I will need to record it to help regulate your body.”
What kind of doctor would record something like this? Taya suspected that Stella was tricking her, but when she saw
Stella’s sincere and innocent eyes, she couldn’t help but believe her “Yes, we did…”
“But I don’t remember how many times…”
After she finished speaking, her face burned so hot she wanted to bury it into the cup of coffee.
and fair face showed a bright smile.
Taya, who glanced secretly at Stella, saw her malicious smile, and realized that she had been fooled. Stella!!!”
Stella got up immediately, picked up her stuff, and left.
While walking, she turned around and explained, “I just want to know how far you and Alpha Knight have taken it. Excuse me, goodbye…”
Taya looked at her figure disappearing into the garden, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed and amused…
She looked at Stella’s little red car through the white fence, and reminded her, “Drive slowly and be careful.”
Stella lowered the car window and waved at her, “I’ll deliver the herbs to you tomorrow.”
Taya smiled and nodded, then Stella started the car and drove back to the hospital.
After watching Stella leave, Taya picked up her phone, intending to call Harper…
When she returned, the nanny informed her that Harper had been Busy With the matters at the nightclub and she hadn’t been back since the night before.
She wanted to ask Harper if the club was going well, but before she dialed anything, a phone call from Neil flashed across the
screen. s
She picked up the call to hear Neil’s sorrowful voice from over the speaker. “Taya, you’re still alive…”
After Taya left the presidential suite in Nightshade, she didn’t see any signs of Neil. All the calls she made to him were left with no reply.
She thought that nothing would happen to Neil since he knew so many mobs, so she just sent him a message and went home.
Listening to Neil’s tone right then, her heart ski pped a beat, and she asked nervously, “Mr. Sherwood, is everything alright?”
Neil smiled wryly and nodded. “I’m fine, I just want to tell you that besides the golden slippers, you still owe me a golden right hand.”
Hearing that he was fine, Taya breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned as she asked, “What golden right hand, I have no idea what you’re…”
Neil smiled cun ningly. “You don’t need to understand anything, you just have to pay me back…”
She was getting tired of hearing the word ‘gold’, so she just went along with it. “Okay, I’ll talk to the gold shop owner once I finish the NASA project.”
Seeing that she had agreed to the deal, Neil was at ease. He
replied, “Remember to add in a left hand as well. It will look better if it’s balanced…”
Taya nodded continuously. “Yes, yes. I’ll do anything you want since you’re my teacher.”
Neil put down the phone on his desk, and pressed the loudspeaker button before leaning backwards against the chair. Feeling relieved, he folded his arms over his chest.
“Well, having an apprentice isn’t too bad after all,” he thought to himself. “However..” his thoughts trailed off as he stared at Joe, who was dressed smartly in a tuxedo, standing outside his office.
The wide smile on Neil’s face immediately collapsed. “There are two good news and two bad news, which do you want to hear first?”
Taya replied without thinking, “The bad news.”
Neil hesitated for a moment, obviously he had brought up the good news first, so why didn’t she go in that order?
Neil was forced to reply. “Okay, the good news is that Knight pack is planning to rebuild their headquarters, and they want us for that job!”
“Wasn’t the Knight pack’s headquarters in good condition? Why
ebulla it now?” laya wondered.
She frowned slightly. She was about to voice her thoughts to Neil, but before she could say anything, another piece of good news
came.
”
It has always been my dream to gain the rights to the Knight pack building designs, then use these designs to enter the international architectural competition. By doing this, I can kill two birds with one stone and defeat my master, Amon Yardley. Who knew my dream would be fulfilled so early in life!”
Hearing this, Taya threw away the doubts in her mind, and said happily for him. “Then congratulations, your dream is about to come true.”
The corner of Neil’s mouth twitched. “You are saying that too early, I still have two pieces of bad news…”
Seeing that he helped her many times in the past, Taya held the phone and asked patiently, “Please tell me what they are.”
While staring at Joe outside the door, Neil took a deep breath. “The first bad news is that the Knight pack is asking you to lead the design, not me!”
He had been praying for the main building of the Knight pack, or perhaps a subsidiary building, even a small branch to crumble…
Now that the opportunity presented itself, they were requesting
his apprentice to design it, not him!
How could he not be furious? Me?” Taya’s eyes grew wide with shock.
Taya was a little dazed, not understanding what Griffon intentions were.
Hearing only silence, Neil thought that Taya was silently rejoicing. His face was distorted with anger. “You must be overjoyed.”
Taya came to her senses and shook her head. “I still have more than 50 projects on hand, and I don’t have time to take on other projects, so you can have it.”
Neil had been yearning to hear these words from her. “My great Taya, I’m really pleased to have such a great apprentice, but unfortunately, I can’t accept it…”
Taya frowned slightly. “And why is that?”
Neil looked at his right hand, gritted his teeth and said, “This is the second bad news, I’ve dislocated my golden right hand!”
The thought of the threat of Griffon chopping off his foot still lingered in Neil’s mind.
“What happened?” Taya asked, clueless.
“Never mind what happened, just report to work as usual tomorrow and we’ll pick up the project together!”
After Neil finished speaking, he hung up and stared at Joe standing outside.
He said to Joe, “My boss and I will head over to your headquarters to sign the contract tomorrow!”
Neil had wanted to refuse the deal, but not everyone would get the opportunity to work on a project by the Knight pack, plus they still had to uphold the reputation of the Sumasa Construction Co., LTD.
Joe raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. “Mr. Sherwood, my boss will pay you a visit to sign the contract tomorrow. You and Ms. Carmine just have to wait for him
