‘Nerissa’s in Minttown? Yvonne was stunned, unable to believe her ears.

‘Seriously? What are the odds?’ she thought, still trying to process it.

When Hunter answered, Yvonne almost wondered if she was imagining things.

She hesitated, and then asked, “So Ms. Jamison is actually in Minttown right now?”

“Yeah,” Hunter replied.

Hearing the confirmation from Hunter, Yvonne finally let out a sigh of relief.

The essence of traditional medicine lied in the unique bond between healer and patient.

‘Seems like Mrs. Berenson and Nerissa really do share a special connection, Yvonne thought.

Yvonne quickly added, “Mr. Jamison, I came to talk to Ms. Jamison about something. But since she’s not home, I won’t trouble you any further. I’ll just give her a call when I get back.”

“Alright,” Hunter said, standing up as well. “Oh, may I ask your name? When Nerissa gets back, I’ll let her know you stopped by.”

After all the things Yvonne had brought over, Hunter realized he still didn’t even know her name. He figured he should at least ask.

Hunter could tell from her glasses and scholarly aura that she was someone distinguished, so he sounded very respectful.

“I’m Yvonne Jenkins,” Yvonne replied with a smile. “Mr. Jamison, you’ve really got an incredible granddaughter. Ms. Jamison actually saved my life once.”

For Yvonne, Nerissa was someone truly special.

Nerissa hadn’t just saved her, she’d also given her a huge break. With Splendor Peak blowing up online, tons of young people were suddenly obsessed with classical culture.

Her studio’s followers had shot up from a million to over thirty million.

Yvonne had started studying classical culture just to get more people to know about it, and maybe even fall in love with it.

Her wish had come true.

And it happened in a totally unexpected way.

Yvonne was really glad she’d made that choice back then.

If she hadn’t chosen the Kinsbeat Game, she might never have lived to see the day when so many young people fell in love with classical culture.

Hearing Yvonne’s words, Hunter chuckled. “Nerissa’s always had a big heart, ever since she was little.”

Her marriage to Owen had actually happened because she once saved Griffin when he fell into the water while fishing.

Hunter personally walked Yvonne out to her car parked outside the villa.

As soon as she got into her car, Yvonne immediately called Nerissa.

Chapter 106

Nerissa hadn’t slept well at all last night.

She spent the whole night lost in bizarre, fantastical dreams.

In those dreams, a crowd of people were crying in front of her.

They were crying their hearts out.

They were sobbing miserably.

It was like they were looking for her, but she was right there, and they just couldn’t see her.

It was as if

she didn’t exist at all.

Besides,

no matter how hard she tried in the dream, she just couldn’t see their faces.

Between her and them, there was a distance she just couldn’t cross.

Even though she was right there with them.

It felt like an invisible wall kept them apart.

They were worlds apart.

Ding!

Just then,

the phone rang.

Nerissa fumbled under her pillow for her phone, swiped to answer, and groggily said, “Hello?”

“Is this Ms. Jamison?” Yvonne said. “Hi, this is Yvonne Jenkins.”

“Ms. Jenkins,” Nerissa said, instantly snapping awake. “Why are you calling so early?”

“Sorry to bother you so early, Ms. Jamison,” Yvonne said. “I just stopped by your place, but your grandpa told me you’re in Minttown. Are you still there?”

“Yeah, I’m still here. I arrived the afternoon before yesterday,” Nerissa replied.

Yesterday, Nerissa and Faye had spent the whole day checking out a bunch of sights together.

“That’s perfect, Ms. Jamison. There’s something really important I need your help with,” Yvonne said.

“Sure, what is it?” Nerissa replied.

“Well, I have an old friend…” Yvonne briefly explained Mrs. Berenson’s situation, and then added, “Ms. Jamison, you’re amazing with traditional medicine. Since you’re in Minttown right now, could you take a look at her for me?”

Nerissa paused. ‘An old friend?’ she wondered, her mind spinning.

Wait, Mrs. Berenson?’ Nerissa thought, a jolt of surprise running through her.

‘No way… she muttered to herself, heart pounding.

Chapter 106

Is it that Mrs. Berenson, the one who lost both her daughter and granddaughter? Nerissa thought, the realization hitting

her.

Nerissa couldn’t believe it. She’d only heard about Mrs. Berenson yesterday, and now she was being told Mrs. Berenson was in critical condition.

Right away. Nerissa said, “I’m free, Mrs. Jenkins. Just send me the address and I’ll head over as soon as I’m up

She didn’t hesitate to say yes.

Part of it was her compassion as a healer.

And part of it was genuine sympathy for Mrs. Berenson.

Even though Nerissa had never met Mrs. Berenson in person, she truly felt for everything the woman had gone through

Mrs. Berenson still hadn’t gotten to see her daughter and granddaughter one last time.

Nerissa couldn’t bear to think how devastated and heartbroken Mrs. Berenson would be if she passed away without ever seeing them again.

So Nerissa didn’t hesitate.

She was determined to do everything she could to help this poor woman, even though they’d never met.

Yvonne was thrilled when Nerissa agreed.” Ms. Jamison, I’m so glad you said yes! Just send me your address, and I’ll have the Berenson family come pick you up.”

“Sounds good,” Nerissa replied. “I’ll send you my address once we hang up.”

“Perfect, let’s coordinate on WhatsApp, Yvonne said.

“Sure,” Nerissa grinned.

As soon as she hung up, Nerissa sent her address to Yvonne on WhatsApp.

Faye, who was lying next to her, got woken up by the call.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, “Nerissa, what’s going on?”

“Fifi, I might have to head out for a bit,” Nerissa said. “If you don’t want to go out by yourself, just wait for me at the hotel, or you can take a walk around the neighborhood.”

“Out?” Faye’s sleepiness vanished in an instant. She sat up quickly and asked, “Nerissa, where are you going?

As she got dressed, Nerissa quickly filled Faye in on Mrs. Berenson’s situation.

Faye’s eyes widened. “Wait, you mean the Berenson family, the ones who basically run Minttown

No way! Faye thought, totally floored.

“What are the odds? she couldn’t help but think.

They’d just arrived in Minttown, and now the Berenson family was already in trouble.

“I can’t say for sure, but from the way Ms. Jenkins was talking. I think it’s that famous Berenson family,” Nerissa said

Faye nodded. “Don’t worry about me, Just go. I’ll wait for you at the hotel

“Okay.”

Meanwhile,

After getting Yvonne’s call, Verena could barely contain her excitement. She rushed to tell her family the good news.

“Victor, you won’t believe this! This is huge! Aunt Yvonne just called and said that miracle doctor Ms. Jamison, the one who saved her, is actually here in Minttown on vacation. Come on, let’s go pick her up right now!”

Victor’s eyes widened, just as thrilled. “Seriously?”

“No doubt about it!” Verena said, nodding emphatically.

When the other Berenson brothers heard the news, they were just as excited.

Victor’s younger brothers, Harvey, Boaz, and Frederick, all rushed back to the hospital that afternoon.

“Victor, Verena, I’m coming with you to pick up Ms. Jamison!” Harvey said, his voice full of excitement.

“Count us in too!” Boaz and Frederick chimed in together.

“No need, Just stay here at the hospital,” Victor said, glancing at his brothers. “Verena and I will be back soon. If anything unexpected happens, make sure to call me.”

“Alright, Victor, Verena. We’ll wait for you here at the hospital,” Harvey said.

When Anna came to visit Mrs. Berenson at the hospital, she saw Victor and Verena rushing out in a hurry.

They were in such a rush.

They didn’t even hear Anna call out to them.

Ann frowned slightly. ‘What’s going on?’ she wondered.

Could it be that Mrs. Berenson’s condition just took a turn for the worse?’ Anna,thought, a wave of worry washing over her.

Anna hurried up and made her way into the hospital.

She’d barely walked a few steps when she caught people nearby talking in hushed voices about the Berenson family.

“Hey, you hear? The Berenson family’s found a genius doctor who knows the Needle Crossing technique. Looks like Mrs. Berenson might actually be saved,” someone whispered.

“Needle Crossing technique? I thought only the Divine Doctor could pull that off,” another person replied, sounding amazed.

“Who knows,” the first person replied.

“Honestly, that so-called miracle doctor who claims to know the Needle Crossing technique is most likely a scam artist. The Berenson family is just so desperate to save Mrs. Berenson. They’ll cling to any hope, no matter how ridiculous, someone snorted.

Hearing the gossip, Ann couldn’t help but smirk.

‘A scam artist?’ Ann mused to herself.

‘Nice!’ she thought, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

‘Even God is helping me now, Ann thought, her confidence soaring,

Chapter 106

To win the Berenson family’s favor, Ann had gone out of her way to invite a renowned medical master to treat Mrs. Berenson.

After all, one could only tell who was truly skilled when he’d got another one to compare to.

If the so-called miracle doctor the Berenson family worked so hard to bring in turned out to be a fraud. Mrs. Berenson would probably end up barely hanging on. That would make Anna look like a hero for bringing in a true master to treat her.

Even if the master couldn’t cure Mrs. Berenson in the end, Anna could just pin all the blame on that fake doctor.

That way, she’d not only earn herself a stellar reputation in the Berenson family’s eyes, but they’d also be grateful to her.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

Anna was practically buzzing with excitement the more she thought about it.

She made her way straight to the VIP floor.

Before she walked in the ward, she adjusted her expression and pretended to very worried. She took out her phone and put

it on selfie mode. After making sure there was nothing wrong with her expression, she finally walked in.

Mrs. Berenson’s condition was pretty bad, so the atmosphere in the ward was heavy and somber.

Her thirteen grandsons had all hurried back.

They were all there now.

The Berenson family was seriously good-looking.

Just glancing around,

almost every single one of them was a total heartthrob.

Except for Oliver, who’ was already married, the other twelve were all single.

Anna’s heart was pounding.

“Thank goodness!”

Thank goodness Ariel was dead. If she were still alive, she couldn’t even imagine how jealous she’d be of Ariel.

Thirteen older cousins!

Eight uncles!

And the best part? The Berenson family absolutely spoiled Ariel.

Anna walked over to Jessica and Joanna, putting on her most thoughtful face. “Aunt Jessica, Aunt Joanna, please don’t stress too much. I really believe Mrs. Berenson is blessed, and she’ll get through this. Oh, back when I was in school, I met a top medical expert from overseas. She’s incredible, even more famous internationally than Professor Sloan. I contacted her last night, and she said she’ll be arriving in Minttown tomorrow.”

Anna continued, “She told me she knows how to get rid of the blood clots in Mrs. Berenson’s brain”

Joanna glanced at Anna. “Anna, it’s sweet of you to worry about us, but your Uncle Victor and Aunt Verena have already gone to pick up Ms. Jamison. She’s a real expert with the Needle Crossing technique, and we’re sure she can cure Mom

Anna nodded, putting on a sincere face. I hope Ms. Jamison can help Mrs. Berenson too.”

‘Some things are better left unsaid, Anna thought to herself.

‘Once that so-called miracle doctor makes things worse, the Berenson family will have no choice but to come begging for my help. Then they’ll owe me big time, Anna schemed.

At that thought, Anna smirked secretly.

Meanwhile,

Nerissa was waiting downstairs in front of the hotel for the Berenson family’s car.

Soon,

the Berenson family’s car rolled up.

The driver was behind the wheel, while Victor and Verena sat in the back.

Verena kept glancing out the window. “Didn’t Aunt Yvonne say Ms. Jamison would be waiting by the curb? How come I don’t see her?”

There were plenty of people on the sidewalk,

but they were all just young tourists.

In Verena’s mind, even if Ms. Jamison was considered young for a miracle doctor, she had to be at least in her forties or fifties.

Victor pulled out his phone. “Let me give her a call.”

Yvonne had already sent them Nerissa’s number.

“Yeah, hurry up and call her,” Verena urged.

Harvey dialed the number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

“Hello?” she said.

It was pleasant to listen to.

Her voice sounded young.

And there was a certain innocence to it.

Victor had the call on speaker, so both he and Verena could hear it clearly.

When they heard Nerissa’s voice, Verena’s eyes widened in shock,

Even Victor was caught off guard for a second.

Yvonne had said Ms. Jamison was young, but they’d never imagined she’d sound this young.

From her voice alone, she sounded barely out of high school, maybe eighteen or nineteen, tops.

Of course, some people just had those eternally youthful voices, even in their seventies or eighties. Maybe Ms. Jamison was

one of those with a childlike voice

Victor took a moment to steady himself. “Hello, is this Ms. Jamison? I’m Victor Berenson. I’m here to pick you up and take you to the hospital for my mom.”

“Yeah, that’s me,” Nerissa replied.

“I’m at the address you sent. Where exactly are you?” Victor asked.

Nerissa said, “I’m waiting downstairs at the hotel. I’ve got on a black trench coat and I’m carrying my medical kit. I’m standing by the big tree on the east side of the hotel.”

That tree was actually a pretty famous landmark here in Minttown.

Hearing that, Victor and Verena whipped their heads around toward the big tree.

Sure enough, their eyes landed on her.

There, beneath the famous tree, stood a slim, elegant girl.

Both of them were left even more speechless.

Verena’s jaw nearly hit the floor. ‘No way!’ she thought, totally floored.

‘No way, Ms. Jamison is actually this young?’ Verena thought, totally stunned.

They couldn’t see her face clearly from this far away, but she looked so composed and elegant, and her whole vibe just screamed confidence.

“Alright, I see you. I’ll be right over,” Vicctor said, barely keeping his cool as he hung up.

After he hung up, Verena couldn’t hide her worry. “Victor, Ms. Jamison looks so young. Are you sure she really knows the Needle Crossing technique?”

Victor shrugged, “She’s Aunt Yvonne’s pick, and I trust Aunt Yvonne’s judgment. Besides, Mom’s so ill. What else can we do? Might as well give it a try.”

Verena nodded.

Victor told the driver to pull over. He and Verena got out and headed toward the big tree.

Nerissa saw Victor and Verena coming her way. Judging by their outfits and demeanor, she figured out who they were. She walked up to them and said, “Are you Mr. and Mrs. Berenson?”

“Are you the miracle doctor Aunt Yvonne told us about?” Verena asked.

“Yeah, I’m Nerissa Jamison,” Nerissa replied with a slight nod.

When Victor finally saw Nerissa’s face up close, he froze in place, his eyes widened in shock. He just stood there, totally floored, unable to process what he was seeing.
