Chapter 18
Who was that girl yesterday?”
Once Phillip and the others left, and he calmed 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 mentioned 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 somewhat blurry, he could vaguely sense that she was a beautiful girl with a
pleasant voice.
Unfortunately, she was too young, and with Romeo and Serena already engaged… Otherwise, having
her as his granddaughter-inw 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 Romeo. After all, he had asked for her phone number
yesterday!
You better not bother her,” Romeo coolly refused.
“What’s the matter? Can’t I meet 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 ailment,
yet this young girl managed to save him at a critical moment. What did that signify?
It meant that her medical skills far surpassed theirs!
If he remembered correctly, the young girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he happened
to have another grandson around her age…
If he could sessfully match them, it would be a splendid match.
“Do you happen to have her contact information?”
Phillip remembered the look Carl gave Romeo just now, this kid definitely has her phone number or
WhatsApp ount.
“I don’t care, you must bring that girl here.” Phillip tried his best.
In the end, Romeo relented, “Whether shees or not, depends on her.”
Phillip’s “plot” was half sessful and he quickly said, “Of course!”
If she doesn’te, it must be because she’s scared of his cold demeanor!
Seeing Romeo ready to leave…
“Wait!” Phillip looked as if he thought of something 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-inw…
Romeo thought to himself: Isn’t he gentle? Isn’t he polite? Does he need someone else to teach him?
Carl alsoined: My lord, don’t hurt me, 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.
Meanwhile.
Keh and Louisa approached the dining table, cing a variety of breakfast items in front of their
two daughters.
This is the chef’s freshly made pastries. Here, Be, 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. Come on, eat
more.”
Serena sweetly smiled, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry about taking care of me. Give more to sister instead.
Have I evercked good food since childhood?” Louisa chuckled, thinking that this child was indeed
sensible. She hadn’t tried to exclude Arabe despite her sudden arrival, but instead, she considered
her stepsister in everything.
The scene was much warmer than they had imagined.
“Dad, this is the ck tea you like to drink with pastries. Shall I get you some tea?” Serena stood up
and served tea for Keh, 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 seemed like the triumphant victor after a sessful battle, deliberately ncing at Arabe
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 Arabe not notice Serena’s little scheming? Her gaze remained tranquil as water as she
calmly enjoyed the delicate pastries on her te, seemingly indifferent
“Dear sister, I don’t know what you like to drink…” Serena intended to let Arabe prepare it herself.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Arabe casually said, “Coffee, please”
Serena was taken aback. Did Arabe mean for her to make coffee for her?
“You really dote on your sister…” Keh misunderstood, thinking that Serena wanted to voluntarily
prepare coffee for Arabe. He happily chimed in, “Be, that’s just how Serena is. She cares about
her own family a lot. If you refuse her offer, she won’t be pleased.”
Arabe looked up at her and said, “Then, I’ll trouble you for that.”
Upon hearing Keh’s words, Serena found herself in a difficult position. But since things hade
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 Arabe was wearing a white chiffon dress today.
The fabric of the dress was thin, and brewing hot coffee required high water temperature…
If Arabe were identally scalded…
With just a nce, Arabe saw through Serena’s little scheme hidden within her heart.
After brewing the coffee, Serena was about to pour it into Arabe’s cup when she heard Arabe 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 Arabe 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?”
Arabe looked at her with clear eyes, a light smile on her lips, “I saw you almost fill the sses for
Mom and Dad, so I wanted less.”
This behavior is also a kind of respect.
“Be, you don’t have to be so formal at home…” Louisa didn’t expect this kid to be so sensible,
learning table manners so well.
On the other hand, Serena’s words just now seemed a bit petty.
But, Serena probably didn’t mean any harm.
Keh lightened the mood with augh, “Be, 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 Arabe in her ce. So she jumped the gun, saying
with a hint of pride, “I’ll probably choose Summerfield College.”
Upon hearing “Summerfield College”, Arabe lifted her eyes, twinkling with an indiscernible emotion.
Serena naturally noticed this gaze and said with a smile, “Although many ssmates 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 Summerfield College.”
“Summerfield College is the best university in our country, but… I remember you were nning to
study abroad, weren’t you?” Keh looked at her, a bit puzzled in his eyes.
