Chapter 324 Something Goes Wrong

On the following day, Jeremy arranged a car to send Amelia and Tiffany to Boris’ clinic right after they took their meals.

Surprisingly, the clinic was very well equipped and even more high-end than any other hospital. Every medical equipment there cost at least a few hundred thousand. The most important thing was commoners who had rare illnesses and could not afford to foot the medical bills were given priority to receive treatment there. As for the rich, Boris was only willing to treat certain ones by charging them a large sum of medical fees. In other words, he treated the wealthy ones in striking contrast to the commoners.

Initially, Amelia was suspicious of Boris for having something up his sleeve, but she had gradually believed in him. She even started to see a ray of hope, looking forward to the day she could see with her eyes again.

The moment they stepped into the clinic, they were greeted by Collin, Boris’ assistant, a young man in his mid-twenties. Having the passion of the typical millennials nowadays, he was exceptionally staid when carrying out his tasks.

“Ah! Amelia, Tiffany, you’re here! Mr. Jackman is attending to a patient in the room. He hopes you won’t mind waiting for a while here.” He served them tea with a cheerful smile.

Amelia flashed him a smile. “Let him take his time. It doesn’t matter if we have to wait longer.”

Collin looked intently at her and complimented, “Amelia, you’re looking greater with rosy cheeks! What’s more, you’re a lot prettier than when I first met you. Undoubtedly, you’re a beauty!”

Feeling amused, Amelia chuckled.

Tiffany teased him deliberately, “Collin, you’re obviously biased toward Amelia. I’m a beauty as well, yet you didn’t even give me any compliments? Hmph! How annoying!”

“Tiffany, you’re a beauty as well! Both of you look gorgeous in a different way,” Collin flattered, causing both women to burst into laughter.

Tiffany gave him a thumbs-up right away. “Collin, I bet any woman will easily fall for your sweet words!”

Shaking his head, Collin refuted exaggeratively, “Tiffany, if it’s that easy to win the women’s hearts, the property rates will not have shot up drastically. See how those demanding future mothers-in-law stand in benefit, requesting big houses and luxury cars as if they’re contributing desperately for the property market!”

Tiffany almost choked on her saliva, laughing her head off at his exaggerative body language.

“Collin, I’m sure you’re getting quite a good pay other than learning a lot from Mr. Jackman. How’s it possible that even someone like you have to rack your brain to please the mothers-in-law? You’re good-looking, making good money, and from a well-educated family, exactly the typical type of son-in-law that they are dying to have. I’m sure all of them will be huddling around you wherever you are. There’s no need for you to be humble,” Tiffany mocked.

Collin touched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly. “I’m just joking based on what I read from the internet. But mothers-in-law are undeniably the property developers’ diligent marketing assistants. They must have joined hands long ago.”

Tiffany smiled again without uttering any words.

After having small talks for a while, Amelia was called into the room for acupuncture. Suddenly, Collin glanced at Tiffany nervously with his hands intertwined outside the room.

Tiffany shot him a glance quizzically. “Collin, what’s the matter with you? Do you have anything to tell me?”

He nodded and asked hesitantly, “Tiffany, I’m actually thinking of asking you if Amelia has a boyfriend.”

At that very moment, Tiffany almost raised her palm to pat on her forehead. She could not help but sigh inwardly at Amelia’s captivating charm, which had been irresistible for men of her age or even a few years elder than her all this while. Good gracious! Even the millennials are falling heads over heels for her now! Should I be happy for her on that?

She sounded Collin out tactfully, “Collin, could it be you’ve special feeling toward Amelia?”

Collin’s face was flushed red instantly. His eloquence when Amelia was still around moments ago was gone. “I feel that Amelia is quite a nice person. Apart from looking gorgeous, she’s gentle and kind-hearted.”

Tiffany put on a solemn expression.

She asked earnestly, “Collin, how much do you know about Amelia? Are you still willing to pursue her even after knowing that she has lost her eyesight?”

Collin nodded and his eyes were gleaming with determination. “I know Amelia has a son. She lost her eyesight due to the blood clots pressing on the optic nerves in her brain after a car accident. Anyway, I don’t mind any of these, and I love everything about her. As long as she’s willing to accept me, I don’t mind being her son’s stepfather at any time and vow to take good care of them. No doubt, I’m a few years younger than her. But you can’t say that I’m immature and naive for being younger. If she’s willing to spend the rest of her life with me, I’ll learn to be more mature by all means so she can rely on me. I won’t let her go through any painful moments again. My major is medical, and I’ll put effort into gaining knowledge from Mr. Jackman. By hook or by crook, I’ll find the way to cure her eyes!”

In an instant, Tiffany was touched by his words. People like to comment that millennials tend to be playful and immature. But from what I see, this is just a generalization. Millennials nowadays seem to be picking things up pretty fast. Many of them are able to deal with things independently. Apart from coping with things maturely, they never lack the passion for life.

She stood up and patted on Collin’s shoulder admiringly. “Collin, well-said! But Amelia doesn’t like to be in a relationship with someone younger. Hence, I bet there’s a long way for you to pursue her. After all, you’re not the only one who falls for her. I presume it’ll be extremely challenging for you to win her heart. If you confess your love to her impulsively, you might scare her away!”

Collin nodded at once. “I know that. I’ll wait patiently for Amelia to know me better before the ideal time to confess my love to her. Regardless of whether she likes me or not, I’ll continue to work hard. Since she has a preference for mature men, I’ll work harder, so I’ll become more mature.”
