They didn’t even know who Ms. Gardener was, had never seen her, never heard her voice. How were they supposed to talk to

her?

William’s eyes flickered, thinking Larkin meant they should talk to Ms. Gardener face–to–face.

Okay, how about you give us Ms. Gardener’s contact info, or maybe help us Invite her out so we can grab a meal together“” William suggested.

Charlotte chimed in, “Totally, thanking her in person is definitely better.”

Larkin kept a straight face. When he heard the door open, he said, “No need to go through all that trouble.”

Before anyone could react, Larkin nodded toward Natalie as she walked in and said, “Ms. Gardener.”

Natalie froze, her hand still on her phone, her gaze lingering on Larkin for a moment before she looked over at everyone on he couch.

They were all staring at her with wide eyes and their mouths slightly open.

ason couldn’t help but swallow hard. ‘No way… Could it really be her?‘ he thought.

After a split second, Natalie realized she should respond. She gave a calm “Mm” and sat down in a chair like it was no big deal.

With a clatter, the fork Ethan was holding dropped to the floor.

Everyone froze, and the whole room seemed frozen in place.

Their minds went completely blank. ‘Did Larkin just call Natalie… Ms. Gardener?

And Natalie actually responded…

Natalie took a sip of water and nodded

Another round of sharp intakes of breath echoed through the room.

William tried to wrap his head around it, but he just couldn’t accept it. He glanced at Larkin, then at Natalie’s calm face. desperately searching for any hint that this was all just a joke.

William stammered, “Larkin… Larkin, you can’t be serious about this!

“Every Ms. Gardener of Evergarden is a big deal in alternative medicine! Natalie’s still so young….

Larkin shrugged. “Why would I mess around about this? Ms. Gardener is the fifth–generation successor of Evergarden. The previous head passed away three years ago, and Natalie just took over.

‘Medicine doesn’t care about age. Every Ms. Gardener started out young and grew into the job.”

Natalie licked her lips, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.

‘Mom, Dad, Jason, here’s the thing. I started learning medicine from my master when I was three. It’s been more than fifteen years now,” she said.

Her voice was calm and steady, but every word made their hearts race.

They knew that if Natalie said it, it had to be true.

She really was the current Ms. Gardener of Evergarden!

Charlotte’s lashes trembled as she remembered the vegetable soup Natalie had brewed for her before.

No wonder that headache soup you made for me worked like magic! After I drank it, the pain was almost gone. So this is the reason!” she blurted out, realization dawning on her.

Evelyn and Nora exchanged a nervous glance. Nora stammered, “Natalie… if you really are Ms. Gardener, you won 1 let anything happen to my uncle, right?”

Natalie met her gaze with a gentle, steady look. “As long as I’m here, he’ll be just fine.”

As soon as Nora heard that, her tears started streaming down her face.

She’d known it all along. Her trust in her cousin wasn’t for nothing. Natalie really could save her dadĺ

She set down her fork and threw herself into Natalie’s arms, sobbing, “Waaah.. thank you, cousin!”

Natalie gently patted her back. “There, there, it’s alright. Don’t cry. Let’s eat, okay?”

Nora’s lips quivered as she lifted her head from Natalie’s embrace ‘Okay. thank you, cousin!”

Lucas’s eyes turned red. Me didn’t know what to say. Thank you Natalie

The others were only just starting to snap out of it, but everything still telt umeal, like they were caught in some wild dream

The door swung open again, and this time. Ryan walked in.

He’d just been on the phone in the stairwell, hoping his friends could pui! some strings and help out.

He’d reached out to everyone he trusted, but came up empty.

Ryan walked in and blinked at the shell–shocked group.

“W–What’s going on? Did you guys find Dr. Ross?” he asked.

Jason took a deep breath and shook his head. “No…”

Ryan’s frown deepened. “Then what’s wrong?”

Everyone opened their mouths, but couldn’t find the words.

Ryan glanced at their stunned faces, then at Nora, who was still sniffling. Whatever he was imagining, he quickly looked over at the ICU.

Andrew could tell Ryan was getting the wrong idea, so he spoke up. “It’s not about Uncle. He’s actually stable right now

‘In fact, we’ve got even better news.”

‘What? Just spit it out already!”
