Chapter 247 Finding Miracle Physician
After Amelia figured this out, she wasn't surprised anymore.
"Did you see her? What did she say?"
"No. What I need to tell you isn't about what she said, but about why she came to Goldenvale."
Finn told her quietly that Evelyn had come to Goldenvale to find the former Miracle Physician from Thornfield.
Because Amelia had treated Anthony, Finn now knew that Amelia was that famous Miracle Physician from Thornfield.
"She's looking for me?"
"Yes, I haven't figured out exactly why she's looking for you, but I don't think you should tell her who you are. She really likes Samuel, so she might try to harm you. Be careful around her and don't let her find out."
Amelia nodded.
This was very important information.
"Thank you for telling me."
"No need to thank me. I told you I'd protect you."
Amelia was silent for two seconds, then said, "Finn, I've already found my own happiness. I really hope you can find yours too."
"I'm happy right now."
Amelia knew he couldn't let go of this yet, so she didn't push it.
She had also spent a lot of time and effort, and gone through a lot of pain before she could let go.
She believed Finn would eventually move on too.
He was already doing well.
When he saw Samuel holding her hand, though he was sad, he wasn't angry.
Finn also brought up Leo.
"From what I know, The Hays family has been pressuring him to return to Thornfield, but he hasn't gone back. Maybe he wants to get revenge for Francis."
"I know, I've been keeping an eye on him."
"If you need any help, just ask." He added, "I owe you, so don't feel bad about it."
Amelia didn't know what to say.
She had already forgiven Finn in her heart.
Since there was no love anymore, the hatred was gone too.
She just saw him as an ordinary friend.
She sincerely hoped he would get better and better.
Finn didn't stay sitting beside her. After discussing the two important matters, he quickly left.
After Finn left, Amelia stood up and went out to make a phone call.
She called Maeve.
"I need your help."
"Tell me!" Maeve was brief and to the point.
"If anyone asks who treated your grandfather, I hope you can help hide my identity."
"That might be a bit difficult. A lot of people saw you back then."
"I know, but I have some information I can use."
"What information?"
"Yasmin. She went around saying I was a con artist who came to scam people. You can play that up. Don't mention The Lewis Family situation either, so that person won't ask people from The Lewis Family."
Very few people knew about Anthony being poisoned.
Since it involved Scarlett poisoning Anthony, Anthony had strictly ordered the matter to be kept secret.
"Who's asking about you?" Maeve couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Evelyn, though she might also send someone to ask. Help me cover up my identity."
"Leave it to me."
Amelia nodded.
She didn't need to hide it for too long.
Just long enough to figure out what Evelyn wanted with the "Miracle Physician."
Maeve could stall for that amount of time.
She handles things very reliably now, and since Steven's death, her personality has become more steady, not like before when she still had some of that spoiled rich girl willfulness.
After finishing the call, Amelia returned to the presentation hall.
On stage, Samuel was introducing the Crawford Group's second-generation new energy vehicle.
After last time, he had taken Amelia's advice and didn't always wear black suits.
Of course, for today's occasion he hadn't worn that pink one either, but had chosen a dark blue pinstriped suit with a brooch Amelia had given him pinned to his chest.
The diamond on the brooch sparkled brilliantly under the spotlight, just as dazzling as Samuel himself.
Amelia looked at Samuel on stage and thought of a common saying: A man is most attractive when he's focused on his work.
She thought the saying was absolutely right.
This wasn't the first time Amelia had seen Samuel. She was even familiar with every inch of his face, but looking at him today still felt different.
He was so dazzling.
Fortunately, Amelia was no slouch herself.
She didn't feel inferior because of Samuel's brilliance.
And in the past, she hadn't acted superior because Finn came from humble origins.
She had always been this kind of person.
The two-hour launch event finally ended.
The new car practically exploded online.
Countless netizens said they wanted to pre-order, and the orders were indeed full.
Compared to the Crawford Group's first new energy vehicle, sales had quadrupled!
This was an incredible number.
What was even more surprising was that most of the orders came from female customers.
They had successfully captured the female car market.
This was an unprecedented situation.
Inside and outside the industry, everyone was discussing this car, and even Grant's name made it onto the trending searches several times.
So much so that the trending topic about the Crawford Group's second-generation new energy vehicle even overshadowed Francis's death and Philip's little scandals.
This was something The Hays family was happy to see.
"We need to find a way to win over Samuel quickly. The Crawford Group is completely under his control now," Leonard said to Alton.
After Francis's death, Alton had caught a seasonal flu, and his health had been getting worse lately.
He himself had a bad feeling about it.
He instructed Leonard, "Unless absolutely necessary, don't use force with Samuel. It's best to win him over, but if you can't, don't make him an enemy."
After saying this, he was actually gasping for breath.
Soon a nurse brought over an oxygen mask.
After breathing oxygen, Alton's blood oxygen levels slowly returned to normal.
The doctor called Leonard into the hallway to talk.
"Alton's condition isn't good. His lungs have turned white. You need to prepare yourself."
"What about a lung transplant? Lung transplant surgery is very advanced now."
"Alton is too old, he probably can't handle that kind of ordeal. Setting aside the shortage of lung donors, even if we overcome all obstacles and successfully transplant, the anti-rejection treatment afterward would be another major hurdle. I don't recommend going that route—it would only make Alton suffer more."
Leonard was very worried.
Before, he had Francis by his side to strategize, and Alton to oversee things, so he hardly needed to think much.
Now Francis was dead and Alton was sick, and he suddenly felt a huge sense of helplessness.
But it was too late to say anything now—the person was already dead.
The ashes were still stored at the funeral home.
They hadn't held a funeral yet, so Leonard would often forget that Francis was already dead.
It was only now that he realized how important Francis had been to him.
But this thought was only momentary. Leonard was a very arrogant person, and he quickly pushed the thought aside and consulted with his other trusted advisors about what to do next.
First, they needed to win over all the neutral parties they could.
Most importantly, Samuel.
But Samuel's side remained ambiguous.
Leonard remembered Alton's words and didn't dare push too hard.
But the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was December, and the weather suddenly turned cold.
The southern air was humid, and both indoors and outdoors were cold. Evelyn couldn't stand it.
She found it strange—she could handle even colder temperatures in the north, but here in the south when the temperature had only dropped to 23 degrees Fahrenheit, she felt unbearably cold.
"Find a place with floor heating. This air conditioning is useless," Evelyn ordered her subordinates.
She didn't want to stay in a hotel anymore.
She hadn't found the Miracle Physician yet and needed to extend her stay.
Her subordinate said "yes" and quickly found her a small apartment with floor heating.
Evelyn was very satisfied with the location of this apartment—it was less than five minutes from Rosevale Manor.
But even though it was close to Rosevale Manor, she couldn't get to Samuel.
Because everyone at Rosevale Manor wouldn't let her in.
Evelyn was angry and frustrated.
Over the past month, she had investigated many things about Samuel and Amelia, and finally learned that Samuel had truly fallen for Amelia.
She was furious.
She resented the fact that Amelia had come from behind to win, and resented that Samuel couldn't recognize quality.
He wouldn't take her, a perfect pearl, but went for Amelia, that broken tile.
That day, Evelyn was wandering around Rosevale Manor again, hoping to run into Samuel by chance.
In front of Rosevale Manor was a forest park, with a green path running past the manor.
But because the park charged admission, except for holidays, not many people came here.
On the road were only Evelyn and her two bodyguards.
She walked slowly, thinking about what to do next.
The Sullivan family people only said that the Miracle Physician was from Shadow Operations Division, and they had gone to great lengths to find her. As for where she was now, they didn't know.
When asked about her appearance, they all said she wore a mask and they didn't know what she looked like, only that her eyes were very beautiful.
But what her name was, where she lived—they knew nothing.
However, yesterday she had also received some news—there was a rumor that Amelia was the Miracle Physician she was looking for.
She got goosebumps for a moment.
Fortunately, this misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.
Amelia had indeed come to the Sullivan family to treat someone, but she had been impersonating the Miracle Physician and was kicked out by the Sullivan family.
Because of this, Maeve and Amelia had a terrible falling out.
The two supposedly got into fights whenever they met.
She breathed a sigh of relief while working even harder to find the Miracle Physician.
She had asked around Goldenvale's upper circles, and quite a few people had been fooled by Amelia, all thinking she was the Miracle Physician.
Evelyn thought the people in Goldenvale were all very stupid.
She had already investigated Amelia.
A country bumpkin who had been kidnapped and sold to the countryside as a child—how could she possibly be Shadow Operations Division's Miracle Physician?
She had no connection to Shadow Operations Division whatsoever.
Evelyn told herself her attention should be on finding the Miracle Physician.
Once she found the Miracle Physician and cured Stanley's illness, would she still worry about not being able to marry into the Crawford family?
She was someone with great ambitions.
She not only wanted to become Mrs. Crawford, but also wanted to place people from the Russell family into the Crawford Group, letting her own people gradually take over the Crawford Group bit by bit.
Marrying into the Crawford family was just the first step.
And just then, a high-end business car came from that direction, heading straight for Rosevale Manor.
Evelyn had already had someone look up the license plates of several cars Samuel commonly used, and the license plate appearing before her was the one he often drove himself.
