"What are you…saying?" Vireo asked.The girl raised her eyebrows. "Doctor Payne, do you still remember that I had spent a week receiving infusion therapy here a month ago?"Vireo gave it a thought and he recalled who she was. That was a girl with a stylish appearance and was dressed in a style like someone from the big city. She had been here in the small county on a trip, but in the end, she was injured when she fell down on a hike. She was originally sent to the hospital in the county, but it turned out the county hospital suddenly received many patients from a certain village, so they were overcrowded. Without a choice, the girl came to his small clinic for treatment.Originally, she had a few scrapes on her leg that needed stitches. The girl was worried to death as she thought that the doctor in a small clinic was not able to handle it well. She was so scared that she cried. In the end, it was after the stitches were completed that the girl learned how professional this doctor w
However, Vireo, who had just been released from prison, was in such despair that the sky above him was gray. He was thinking that in the next moment, he may be going to live under the bridge, and from then on, he would join the band of homeless vagrants for the rest of his life. Because what was home? Did he have a home? Who should he blame? Should he blame his biological father who made him? Since he did not want him, why did he have him? Should he blame his biological mother? Since she did not want him, why did she give birth to him? He did not willingly come into this world. Why did she give birth to him, but so heartlessly sold him off? What had he done wrong? He just needed a home. A home with family. Was that too much? But, why?His adoptive parents had never been willing to give him affection. What they had given him was either them guarding against him or exploiting him. They had also given him deception. However, who else could he, Vireo Payne, look for? Could he look for his
"You! How could you say such words, young man!" Phil said.Vireo already had nothing to lose. At that point, who on this earth was he still afraid of? What son-in-law? What father-in-law? Has the world been drunk? How amusing! He turned his head around an unruly, and heartless manner. "I'm sorry, sir and miss, do we know each other?"Both Phil and Mira were speechless."I know that you were a patient whom I've treated. However, do you know how many ordinary patients I've accepted in the past two years? It's no less than a few dozen every day, alright? Who do you think you are? To put it bluntly, I don't have the slightest bit of impression of you at all, alright! That's right, you remembered me and you valued my skills as a doctor, but you want to marry me just because I've treated you once. Tell me, if you're not boy-crazy, then what are you? Huh? If you're not boy-crazy, then what are you?"Vireo's interrogative voice gave Mira such a fright that she suddenly shuddered.Vireo sn
However, such a family had never given him any opportunities as well. Vireo had to pour his own blood, sweat, and tears into obtaining everything he wanted. If that was not a man from a lowly background who had to earn his place with his might and main, then what was it? If he was labeled as that, then so be it. Vireo was originally an illegitimate child who did not even know his own name, to begin with, so being given the title of a diligent man from a lowly background was already a compliment to him.Within a blink of an eye, Vireo had already accepted being called a man from a lowly background by Mira, and he had also already accepted the fact that Mira was here looking for him to give him an opportunity because he had no other way out anymore. When he turned his head back, the hostility on him had vanished. What was left in him was a dispirited sense and also helplessness.He looked at his future father-in-law, Phil, with a helpless smile. "I am so sorry, Mister Turner. I was rud
Not only did such a miserable cry shock Phil and his daughter, but it even attracted the neighbors.Vireo's mother cried incomparably miserably as she sat on the ground and slapped her legs. "Has it been easy for me to bring you up since you were a baby? I did not even have any breast milk, but I still let you chew on it, so much so that I was trembling in pain from being bitten by you. You're one without a conscience."I had raised you with such difficulty since you were a baby. When you had a fever at night, I was unable to sleep the whole night. I originally was a person without bags under my eyes. However, for the sake of raising you, the bags under my eyes had formed. Now that you've become a fully independent and capable adult, you want to cut connections with me?"His mother was weeping. Vireo also did not feel good either. Which part of the kindness shown to him by the Payne family for raising him had he forgotten? How desperate was he for affection? If the Payne family was
"You will never be lonely again in the future. You'll also never be so passive anymore. I know that everyone has misunderstood you and they don't know you, right? I know and I understand everything. Don't worry. If you follow me to the provincial capital, there'll certainly be room for you to shine. You won't be relying on anybody because you are a capable person yourself, and you will be the best surgeon!"Mira said it so beautifully and emotionally. She had given him so much warmth. Perhaps Vireo had no idea who Mira was before that, even though he had bandaged her wounds for her, but at that moment, Vireo had committed Mira to his memory. Mira, on the other hand, had also opened up Vireo's heart.Not only that, but Mira even turned around and looked at Vireo's parents and said very gently and sensibly, "You're Doctor Payne's parents. In the future, after I've married Doctor Payne, you'll be my parents-in-law, so I will care for both of you like the best daughter-in-law in the whol
The eldest daughter of the Payne family, Chloe, had a very sonorous voice, and it also had a prideful tone. Chloe was dressed in bejeweled and luxurious clothing. In a general sense, she was considered a woman from the high society of the small county. Her husband's family owned a bathhouse and it was able to fetch them around two thousand dollars in income every day. In a month, the bathhouse was able to generate an income of sixty thousand dollars. Chloe was working in a cotton mill herself, so she was considered to be a worker with a stable income.Not only that, but Chloe also had two stores that her own family had given her when she got married. Those two stores were also able to fetch Chloe a few thousand dollars of income every month. Therefore, Chloe had always been living comfortably like a wealthy woman in the small county.When fur coats were fashionable in the county, she was willing to spend a few thousand dollars to buy fur coats to wear. When it was trendy among the wo
"It's already putting it very nicely to say that they are getting married. They are letting our brother go to the provincial capital to develop his career in their family and also to keep up appearances for their family! He is a child raised by the Payne family, so why should we let the Turner family have the bargain!"What Chloe had said instantly struck a chord with Ashnah and Abigail. All three of them had the same thought. Although their brother was adopted and the Payne family would never give the stores to their adopted brother, they had raised him. It was all the Payne family's credit for raising him into such an outstanding person. They could not just simply give his credit to the Turner family for nothing, so the Turner family had to give them gifts, and it must be a hefty price. That was because a talented person, the top talent in the country, was priceless!When the three sisters were passionately discussing it in private, they even raised the net worth of their brother t
