Without any preparation, how could she dare to come alone and negotiate terms with him? Stella stopped in her tracks and looked expressionlessly at the man’s tall and upright figure, speaking in a cold tone.
“If you are willing to release Carina, I can give you the medicine Madam Dodson needs.”
Ethan’s footsteps came to a sudden halt.
He suddenly turned his head, his icy eyes as piercing as cold ice.
“Mother’s medicine, you really could bring it out.”
Stella didn’t care about Ethan’s attitude.“Mr. Dodson has always been a filial son, so he wouldn’t. just stand by and watch Madam Dodson suffer from a headache, would he?”
“Stella, you have become more and more skilled at negotiating.”
Stella smiled faintly and said, “Speaking of emotions, there are rules for speaking of emotions. Speaking of conditions, there are rules for speaking of conditions. Mr. Dodson didn’t choose to let Carina go just because she was my friend, did he?”
“Now, I am just learning Mr. Dodson’s principle of destroying one’s own family. What’s wrong with that?”
The essence of human beings is hypocrisy.
The fist never hit oneself, so one would never feel the pain.
Didn’t he ever consider what kind of feelings she had when he put her in various embarrassing situations for Kaylyn?
Now it’s his turn, but he couldn’t handle it?
Didn’t Kaylyn used to prefer making Ethan choose between two options?
Sure, then let Ethan make a choice.
Is it his mother who is important, or is it more important to vent his anger for his unforgettable crush in his heart?
Ethan stared at her for a long time.
Stella looked at him openly, without any hint of avoidance in her
After a moment, Ethan’s eyes revealed a strong disappointment.

She had long stopped having any expectations for Ethan as a person. He could think of her
however he wanted.
She was also too lazy to explain anything more
to him.
“Okay,” Ethan finally spoke, “Bring the medicine, I released Carina.”
Stella nodded, “Okay.

The next day, Stella arrived at a hospital early in the morning.
The shop of this hospital was not big, located in a remote and hard–to–find alley, even the signboard had lost its color, appearing exceptionally old and worn–out.
As soon as I entered the clinic, a strong smell of traditional medicine hit me.
An old man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses, was smelling the medicine in his hand. He then lowered his head and started jotting down something in a notebook.
Stella walked up to him and whispered,‘Sir Oconnell.”
Sir O’Connell didn’t even lift his head.“Are you here to get medicine again? Didn’t I tell time that this is the last time I’ll give you
medicine?”
Stella whispered, “I wanted to ask Sir Oconnell for a favor…”
No sooner had the words been spoken than Darien rudely interrupted.
“No help, no help, hurry up, hurry up.”
Darien, who is now seventy years old, was an experienced doctor with a very peculiar temperament.

But he was highly skilled in medicine. When Stella learned that Jaida had a chronic headache, she went to great lengths to find him in order to win Jaida’s favor.
However, on the first day, Darien gave her a warning.
Without waiting for her to express her intentions, Darien immediately kicked her out of the door.
The reason was… I found her unpleasant.
Stella had encountered all sorts of strange people, but she had never seen a doctor like this before. She didn’t know if it was because he was in a bad mood that day, so he kicked her out.
So the second day passed.
She was driven away again.
Stella went for a week in a row, and finally Darien glanced at her.
“I only sell medicine to the poor. Judging by your decent attire, you must be a young lady from at wealthy family. With your background, what kind of renowned doctor can’t you find? Why bother being fixated on an old man like me?”
Stella said, “I heard that Sir Oconnell was highly skilled in medicine and could treat all kinds of stubborn diseases. Your medical skills are unmatched by ordinary famous doctors.”

After hearing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Darien’s face, but he said, “Don’t think that flattering me will make me agree to treat you.”
Stella earnestly asked, “I wonder how Sir Oconnell would be willing to treat?”
Darien glanced at her and said, “If you insist so much, then start working for me first. I will show you when I am satisfied, and you can see how it goes.”
Stella readily agreed.
Darien glanced at Stella with some surprise.
At first, he thought that Stella was the one seeking medical treatment, but when he saw Stella’s rosy complexion and lack of any ailments, he thought she was a wealthy girl with nothing to do, pretending to be sick.
When he was young, he often encountered wealthy young ladies who would invent illnesses even when they were not sick.
He was pondering and considering her thoughts, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work for her. When she picked the wrong herbs, she was scolded harshly, even to the point of making her cry a few times.
But the next day, she would still show up at his clinic on time.
About half a year later, Darien felt that although this little girl didn’t have any serious illness, but considering her sincerity and persistence, he decided to take a look.
At that moment, he realized that Stella had been seeking medicine for her mother–in–law. Now, it is rare to see a filial girl like Stella.
Darien’s impression of Stella instantly improved a lot.
After the conversation, he finally found out that Stella was the president of the Dodson Group and Ethan’s wife.
So, for the past two years, he had been prescribing medication for Stella’s mother–in–law, Jaida. After all, it was an old stubborn disease that had been going on for decades, so it couldn’t be cured so quickly.
However, after another year or so of eating, Jaida’s headache would completely heal.
However, in the past six months, Ethan and Kaylyn have been so high–profile that even Darien, who usually doesn’t pay much attention to the news, has heard about them.

And in the past two years, only Stella has come, never seeing Ethan. Darien is even more furious, bluntly telling Stella that he will not give her medicine anymore.
“Considering how diligently and earnestly you have helped me for so long, I can assist you once again.”
Darien took off his reading glasses and sneered, “But you have to make your husband come with you. This is for his own mother’s treatment, yet he never comes even once. What’s wrong, has he outsourced filial piety?”
Stella had been helping Darien for so long and knew that he extremely disliked wealthy people.
Especially, he was always talking about money and trying to impress wealthy people by spending
- it.
Darien scorned families like the Dodson family.
Stella remained silent for a few seconds before saying, “Sir Oconnell, this was the last time, please help me, I needed it… to save my friend.”
Sir Oconnell looked at her skeptically, “Save friend?”
your
“Yes, my friend offended someone he shouldn’t have, so…”
Darien had lived for so many years and had seen everything.
Upon hearing Stella’s words, I instantly understood.
He couldn’t help but curse loudly, “Was it your damn husband who threatened you? How despicable! You want the medicine, but you won’t even come yourself. What’s the point of arresting your friends?!”
Stella knew that Sir Oconnell had misunderstood and explained, “Sir Oconnell, you misunderstood. It was indeed my friend who offended first.”

Although Stella disliked Ethan, she was not a person who twisted the truth.
She recounted the matter exactly as it happened.
She knew that people like Darien, who didn’t care about money, valued sincerity the most.
Deceiving him was simply not possible.
Darien pondered for a while upon hearing the words, before finally looking up at her.
“Do you want me to help you? Okay, but you have to promise me one condition.”
