'However, Mom is already making such an absolute statement now. Based on my knowledge and understanding of her, although Mom is usually a very gentle and easy-going person, as soon as she makes u p her mind and decides on something, there is basically no room for mediation at all...'
‘So, if I were to insist on looking for my benefactor at this time, my mother will certainly send me to the United States just as she said she would...'
'At that time, if I am in the United States, I will be thousands of miles away from Oskia. It will be even more impossible for me to find my benefactor, then...' 2
'So, I can only lie to my mother first so that she will feel comforted... before I secretly continue looking for him...'
Helen did not know the thoughts that were going on i n her daughter's mind at this time. Therefore, she felt relieved as soon as she heard that Sophie was willing t 0 give up searching for her benefactor.
So, Helen looked at Jaime before she said in a serious tone, "Jaime, your middle name is Adel because it means that you are a righteous person who can differentiate between right and wrong. Your sister’s life is at stake in this matter. As I have already
explained clearly just now, for the sake of Sophie's life, you have to keep in mind that you should not be helping her to continue looking for this person in secret anymore. Do you understand me?"
As soon as Jaime heard this, he immediately said," Mom, don't worry. I am the kind of person who has always been in awe of our Oskian traditional cultures. Since Old Master Dennard has already said so, I will not help Sophie anymore!”
Jaime was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Amongst them, the younger generation would attack and criticize traditional medication the most.
When Jaime had been an angry youth with nationalistic tendencies, he had also been somewhat biased toward traditional medication. This was because he felt that traditional medication lacked a scientific basis and clinical experimentations.
However, when he was nineteen years old, he had suffered from a low-grade fever that had lasted for more than a month. He had done all the tests that he could possibly do in the hospital, and he had basically tried every type of antibiotic, but there was no effect a tall. 5
