Chapter 11

“I suppose I had found the silver lining.” After Jason had performed acupuncture on the elderly healer, he could not help but let out a gleeful cheer. “Not exactly, you paid for it with the medical center.” Jason laughed. “Grandpa, you’ve gotten better?” The young lady asked enthusiastically. “Not yet, but it's almost there.” The elderly healer smiled. He then bowed towards Jason as a sign of respect. “Thank you, good sir, for saving me.” “Don’t worry about it. I saved your life in exchange for the Prosperity Hall. It should be a fair exchange.” Jason lightly smirked. Jason believed that the old man was a kind person at heart. At the very least, he would not abuse his position as a medical healer, nor did he deflect his responsibility. This is the reason why Jason saved his life. Although the Prosperity Hall was taken as the price of treatment, it was better for them not to owe anything to each other. “You’re not afraid that we will renege our promise?” The young lady spoke coyly. Jason and the elderly healer both made eye contact and then laughed simultaneously. “What are you all laughing at?” The young lady was confused. “That you’re silly!” Jason could not help but jest. He had been in high spirits as he had resolved the issue in finding a medical center. He then looked at the old man and said, “I’ll be here tomorrow.” “Alright, I will be waiting here tomorrow.” The elderly healer smiled. “Grandpa.” After Jason left, the young lady looked at the old man. He turned to look at her and lightly smiled. “Silly girl, unless I no longer valued my life, I wouldn’t dare to mess with such a person and not fulfill the end of my bargain. Moreover, the Prosperity Hall would be out of business if I did that. I had fulfilled my life goal after being able to see such a person within my lifetime! His healing art has reached divine levels at such a young age. I could not imagine how excellent the person who taught him would be!” He spoke with reverence. Yet, he did not know that these were the medical skills that the entirety of Solis had to offer carried on Jason’s back. Jason returned home around the evening. The family had dinner and Madison summoned Jason. Her long, smooth hair scattered casually, her face was filled with an indescribable sense of feminine beauty. No matter how a beautiful woman had dressed up, they had always carried an aura. He looked at her beautiful face and quietly asked, “what’s the matter?’ “Take this, it will be my last time trusting you.” Madison took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Jason. He looked at her as his eyes glowed in amusement. This was obviously meant for him to open a medical center. This is what a stubborn, soft-hearted woman looked like; she still believed him no matter what she said prior. Jason could not help but feel a warmth in his heart. “Just take it!” Seeing that Jason was only smiling, she felt a little frustrated. Meanwhile, Miranda stood not far away and grinned at the sight. “Useless being who only knows how to take money from my sister.” She grunted lightly, then turned around and left. Jason naturally felt Miranda’s existence and could hear what she said clearly as well. He only reacted by smirking lightly, as he knew that he would not need to rely on anyone from now on. Gently holding onto Madison’s hands, he closed them. “No need, I handled it on my own.” Jason looked at her and gently spoke. “Handled? How did you do that?” Madison’s face was filled with disbelief upon hearing his words. She figured he would not be able to do anything without a few million dollars. As she was familiar with Jason’s antics, she thought that he might just be acting tough. “I’ll tell you soon.” Jason was unwilling to let go of Madison’s soft fingers as he held them. It was the second time he had ever held her hands after being married for three years, as ridiculous as it sounds. “I’ll reserve it for you for three days. Come find me if you need it.” Madison retracted her hands. She turned around and returned to her room after seeing him shrugging his shoulders calmly. Jason looked at her as she left and rubbed his fingertips. He felt a little unsatisfied about it. He could somewhat tell that she was still not entirely trusting of him. He believed that she purposely gave him three days to reconsider was to give him a chance to change his mind.
