Of course Gordon could sense their guarded expressions, but he remained open and direct.
“Actually, we ctoday to ask you and your wife about a certain doctor. On the 18th, my father was in critical
condition here at the hospital. He was barely hanging on, and if it hadn't been for that doctor, he wouldn't have
made it. We only want to express our gratitude for saving his life-nothing more, | assure you.”
Appliepie’s parents immediately realized who he was referring to, but after exchanging a quick glance, they
chose to remain silent.
Appliepie’s mother forced a faint smile. “Mr. Gordon, we understand how you feel, but we really don’t know the
doctor you're talking about.”
The teenage boy next to Gordon lost his patience and spoke up. “We checked the surveillance footage. That
person chere specifically to see you two. Who are you trying to fool?”
Appliepie’s father’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. He stiffened his tone. “Young man,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwatch your words. Lots of kind people visit us every day. We don’t even know many of their names. We honestly
can’t help you.”
Gordon shot the boy a sharp glare. “Keep your mouth shut!”
After scolding him, Gordon turned back to the couple with a sincere expression.
“I know it’s abrupt to casking like this, and it may seem rude, but my father still needs that doctor's help.
The Kent family always repays kindness-especially one that saves a life. We just want to thank her in person,
and also ask if she might be willing to help him again.”
As he spoke, Gordon pulled a check from his pocket and placed it gently on the table.
“This is just a small token of appreciation. If we can find the doctor, the Kent family will make sure she’s properly
rewarded.”
Appliepie’s mother didn’t even glance at the check. She pointed toward the door.
“We don’t want your money. Rather than waste there, you'd better look elsewhere.”
Seeing their firm stance, Cordon could only give up-for now. But he didn’t take the check
back.
Appliepie’s mother chased after him with the check in hand. “We're not taking this. Take it
back.”

Gordon refused, so she threw the check on the ground and quickly shut the door.
Only after she heard their footsteps fade did she finally let out a long, heavy breath.
The couple looked miserably at the gift boxes on the table.
“What do we do with all this stuff?”
Appliepie’s mother looked uneasy. “Did we just cause trouble for Dr. Gray?”
They completed the discharge paperwork that sday and left the hospital.

By the tthe hospital director got word and rushed back, it was already too late. He assumed the Kent family
had driven the doctor away and immediately called Gordon to scold him.
The next day, the director personally visited the couple’s hto apologize.
When Appliepie’s parents saw him show up at their house, they nearly decided to move altogether.
Thankfully, the director had only cto tell them that the Kent family wouldn't be bothering them again.
That was the only reason they temporarily gave up on relocating.
“Professor, are you acquainted with that girl's mentor?” Benjamin asked as he walked the hospital director out of
the neighborhood.
Ever since that incident at the hospital, he had sensed something unusual about the way the old man viewed the
young woman with such exceptional skill.
Given her age, there was no way she had learned all that without a highly skilled elder behind her.
The hospital director was silent for a long tbefore he finally said, “The technique she used that day-those
needles-belong to a long-lost method. | knew the person who created it. But she disappeared more than thirty
years ago.”
His tone grew wistful as he spoke.
From those few words, Benjamin could tell that the director had once shared a deep bond with that woman.
