Anne nodded. “Think about it. You have studied from experienced practitioners for years. You wouldn’t make such a basic mistake. And Lydia was right there at the time. If it wasn’t her, who else could it have been?” 

Meryl remained silent. All these years, she had resisted thinking the worst of people. 

First, she had just been reunited with the Stone family. She had no prior conflicts with Lydia. That was their first meeting. 

Second, Lydia was only fourteen or fifteen at the time. To harm her by taking an innocent life? It was too far–fetched to believe. 

Meryl had always thought that her issues with Lydia were just between them. She couldn’t believe Lydia could be so malicious. 

“She managed to frame you and send you to prison for three years. What else is she not capable of?” said Anne. 

Anne’s lips pressed into a tight line. “Meryl, you’re too kind to even begin to understand how twisted her mind is. 

“But for someone like her, there’s nothing she won’t do. It’s just a matter of you not imagining it,” Anne added. 

Meryl remained silent.

Anne gently took Meryl’s hand. “So, since you’re so skilled in acupuncture, you shouldn’t let that talent go to waste,” she said encouragingly. 

Meryl smiled and placed her fingers back on Anne’s pulse. Then she looked at her in surprise. 

“Anne, you…” said Meryl.

Neither of the two friends spoke another word. 

After a long silence, the door suddenly made a sound. 

It was Yancey who had returned. 

Yancey was given the guest room to sleep in that night. 

When Meryl woke up in the morning, she was surprised to find breakfast already set on the table. 

Yancey wore an apron. He walked out of the kitchen at that moment. 

His long fingers gently gripped the edge of the plate. 

Seeing Meryl come out, Yancey instinctively turned his head to

“Yes, Anne doesn’t usually wake up early. You don’t need to prepare so much breakfast in the future,” said Meryl.

“Okay,” Yancey replied, turning to the kitchen to fetch two sets of utensils. 

Last night, when Anne suggested keeping Yancey, everyone knew it was just to irritate Dante. Meryl hadn’t given it much. thought. 

But now, she suddenly thought it might be good for Anne to have someone around. 

Today was a workday. Meryl remembered Yancey mentioning that he was a college student. 

She asked curiously, “Don’t you have classes to attend?” 

Yancey lowered his head. “I… took a break from school,” he said quietly. 

Meryl thought for a moment, then understood. 

Because he couldn’t afford tuition and was in a rush to earn 

money to pay off his father’s gambling debts, Yancey had to take a break from school. 

“What’s your major?” Meryl asked. 

“Medicine,” said Yancey. His voice was steady.
