"Who was that girl yesterday?"
Once Phillip and the others left, and he cald down a bit, he turned around and asked, "Did we thank her properly?"
"We gave her a check already" Carl said, full of admiration when he ntioned the girl. "Who would've thought a girl in her teens would be such a miracle worker!"
Truly, it was so unexpected!
"That young girl just happened to pass by and fortuitously discovered your condition, going against the crowd's opinions to save you!" If not for her "interference, Phillip would have probably passed away..."
"She is such a kind and capable young girl..." In Phillip's mind, a faint image of an innocent face appeared. Although sowhat blurry, he could vaguely sense that she was a beautiful girl with a
pleasant voice.
Unfortunately, she was too young, and with Roo and Serena already engaged... Otherwise, having her as his granddaughter-in-law wouldn't be a bad idea!
"Did you note down the young girl's contact information?" Phillip suddenly asked, "I want to thank her in person."
Carl was taken aback and quickly looked at Roo. After all, he had asked for her phone number yesterday!
"You better not bother her," Roo coolly refused.
"What's the matter? Can't I et my lifesaving benefactor and express my gratitude in person?"
What Phillip was thinking was that so many experts and renowned doctors couldn't cure his ailnt,yet this young girl managed to save him at a critical mont. What did that signify?
It ant that her dical skills far surpassed theirs!
If he rembered correctly, the young girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he happened to have another grandson around her age...
If he could successfully match them, it would be a splendid match.
"Do you happen to have her contact information?"
Phillip rembered the look Carl gave Roo just now, this kid definitely has her phone number or WhatsApp account.
"I don't care, you must bring that girl here." Phillip tried his best.
In the end, Roo relented, "Whether she cos or not, depends on her."
Phillip's "plot" was half successful and he quickly said, "Of course!"
If she doesn't co, it must be because she's scared of his cold deanor!
Seeing Roo ready to leave...
"Wait!" Phillip looked as if he thought of sothing and added, "When you talk to the girl, be nice! Be gentle! If you don't know how, let Carl teach you! Don't scare her away, got it?"
She might be his future granddaughter-in-law...
Roo thought to himself: Isn't he gentle? Isn't he polite? Does he need soone else to teach him?
Carl also complained: My lord, don't hurt , Mr. McMillian finally forgot about the Antarctica project...
"No matter what, she's the one who saved my life, you can't be rude to her!" Phillip was afraid that the young girl would be scared of his cold attitude.
anwhile.
Kenneth and Louisa approached the dining table, placing a variety of breakfast items in front of their two daughters.
"This is the chef's freshly made pastries. Here, Rose, this is yours. Be careful, it's hot."
"Serena, you've been staying at school for a month, and you look like you've lost weight. Co on, eat more."
Serena sweetly smiled, "Dad, Mom, don't worry about taking care of . Give more to sister instead.
Have I ever lacked good food since childhood?" Louisa chuckled, thinking that this child was indeed sensible. She hadn't tried to exclude Rosemary despite her sudden arrival, but instead, she considered her stepsister in everything.
The scene was much warr than they had imagined.
"Dad, this is the black tea you like to drink with pastries. Shall I get you so tea?" Serena stood up and served tea for Kenneth, then promptly served Louisa as well
"Mom, enjoy it."
They hadn't expected Serena to be so considerate. Smiling affectionately, they lifted their teacups and took a sip.
Serena seed like the triumphant victor after a successful battle, deliberately glancing at Rosemary beside her.
What if she was the biological daughter? After so many years of living together, no one understood their parents' eating habits better than she did.
How could Rosemary not notice Serena's little scheming? Her gaze remained tranquil as water as she calmly enjoyed the delicate pastries on her plate, seemingly indifferent
"Dear sister, I don't know what you like to drink..." Serena intended to let Rosemary prepare it herself.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Rosemary casually said, "Coffee, please"
Serena was taken aback. Did Rosemary an for her to make coffee for her?
"You really dote on your sister..." Kenneth misunderstood, thinking that Serena wanted to voluntarily prepare coffee for Rosemary. He happily chid in, "Rose, that's just how Serena is. She cares about
her own family a lot. If you refuse her offer, she won't be pleased."
Rosemary looked up at her and said, "Then, I'll trouble you for that."
Upon hearing Kenneth's words, Serena found herself in a difficult position. But since things had co to this point, she could only stand up with a smile and graciously fetch the coffee pot.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed Rosemary was wearing a white chiffon dress today.
The fabric of the dress was thin, and brewing hot coffee required high water temperature...
If Rosemary were accidentally scalded...
With just a glance, Rosemary saw through Serena's little sche hidden within her heart.
After brewing the coffee, Serena was about to pour it into Rosemary's cup when she heard Rosemary say,
"Don't pour too much."
Serena didn't expect her to see through her plot so quickly, she gritted her teeth secretly, she wanted to pretend she didn't hear it, but Rosemary added, "That's enough, thank you."
Serena could only stop awkwardly, smiling and saying, "Sister, you're really careful, I've been pouring tea for my parents for so many years and I've never spilled it, are you afraid I'll scald you?"
Rosemary looked at her with clear eyes, a light smile on her lips, "I saw you almost fill the glasses for Mom and Dad, so I wanted less."
This behavior is also a kind of respect.
"Rose, you don't have to be so formal at ho..." Louisa didn't expect this kid to be so sensible,learning table manners so well.
On the other hand, Serena's words just now seed a bit petty.
But, Serena probably didn't an any harm.
Kenneth lightened the mood with a laugh, "Rose, Serena, exam results should be out soon, have you guys thought about which university you want to go to?"
He put down his tea cup, looking at them with kind expectancy.
After Serena sat down, she felt the need to put Rosemary in her place. So she jumped the gun, saying with a hint of pride, "I'll probably choose Sumrfield College."
Upon hearing "Sumrfield College", Rosemary lifted her eyes, twinkling with an indiscernible emotion.
Serena naturally noticed this gaze and said with a smile, "Although many classmates say this exam was hard, I found it easier than the practice problems we usually do. I'm not feeling any pressure, I'm confident I'll get into Sumrfield College."
"Sumrfield College is the best university in our country, but... I rember you were planning to study abroad, weren't you?" Kenneth looked at her, a bit puzzled in his eyes.
