“Oh? Alright, mom! Let’s head there together then!” said both of the girls.
Seeing the two people who had just arrived, Naomi respectfully greeted, “Uncle, aunt…”
“Humph! So you’re here too?” said the woman in a contemptuous manner while crossing her arms.
At that, Naomi nodded before saying, “Is grandma meeting Master Jenkinson to have her illness diagnosed? Is she feeling alright?”
“Hold it right there!” said her aunt in shock when she heard her question.
“Ignoring grandma for the moment, I’m telling you now that Master Jenkinson charges patients individually! You better not be getting any ideas!”
From what she had said, it was clear that she was afraid that Naomi wanted to bring her mother along.
On the contrary, however, the thought hadn’t even crossed Naomi’s mind!
“Look, Naomi. Since you won’t be able to afford the medical expenses anyway, just bring your mom home. Don’t worry, we’ll cover the hotel expenses for the previous nights,” added the woman, her arms still crossed.
“That’s quite enough of that. As for you, Naomi, it’s better that you just head up and take care of your mom,” said her uncle in a casual tone.
Just as he was about to leave with his children, an extended luxury car slowly came to a halt right in front of the hotel. When the car’s door opened, a distinguished and polite-looking middle-aged man stepped out before looking at Jorge and asking, “Good day, sir. Is it right to assume that this is Yorknorth Mountain? The area where Master Jenkinson lives?”
Since Jorge was the president of several furniture factories in the Salford Province, he had seen enough of the world to know that the middle-aged man standing before him was an extraordinary person.
Knowing that, he then respectfully replied, “You would be correct.”
“I see. Thank you for your time,” said the man as he nodded slightly.
“Well, Mr. Duncan? Is this the place? Why isn’t there any parking space here?” asked a young man wearing a blazer as he got out of the car together with a young woman.
