Chapter 296
Yana’s father, Jason Weiss, was a little over fifty years old. His hair was greying, but he still looked dignified.
When he saw Natalie, he held her hand excitedly. “You’re a miracle doctor! Although we weren’t able to meet, I’ve always heard Yana mention you. You’re the benefactor of the entire Weiss family! Yana’s my only daughter. Were it not for you, I would have had to watch her die before me…”
Natalie said humbly, “Mr. Weiss, I’m only applying the knowledge I’ve learned. I’m not as impressive as you make me out to be.”
The more Jason looked at Natalie, who was average-looking yet so composed, the more he grew fond of her.
There were many youngsters out there who were very impetuous. They spent their time frivolously, lusting over fame and power. After achieving something small, they would brag about it excessively to others.
However, even though Natalie had cured an illness that had stumped countless doctors, she was still so humble. It was unimaginable to not like her.
“Who did you learn those skills from?” Jason asked curiously.
“My grandfather and my mother.”
“Where are they?”
Natalie remembered how they had already passed away, leaving her alone.
“They’ve… They’ve passed away,” she responded softly.
Jason realized he had just touched Natalie’s sore spot. At the same time, an idea popped into his head.
“Natalie, my wife and I only have one daughter, and that is Yana. We’re very grateful to you and we really like you. Hence, we’d like to ask you to become our goddaughter. I wonder if you’re interested. Although the Weiss family isn’t a powerful family in Dellmoor or Chanaea, we can promise that we’ll treat you and Yana equally.”
Smiling, Hans chimed in, “Natalie, if anything bad had happened to Yana, my life
would have been pointless. To be honest, my father wanted you to become his goddaughter too, but my father-in-law was a step faster. You can consider whether you’d like to be the goddaughter of the Weiss family or the Becker family. Yet, regardless of your choice, I’ll still treat you like my dear sister!”
Clenching her fists, Yana punched Hans’ chest.
