“Miss Thompson’s full name is Viola Thompson.” Linda Wilson said.

Viola Thompson?

Upon hearing this, Madam Knight was completely stunned.

Aurora too was struck dumbfounded.

How, H-how could it be Viola Thompson!

Seeing the surprise on their faces, Linda guessed something and then asked, “What’s the full name of the Miss Thompson you were looking for?”

“Elizabeth Thompson,” Aurora replied.

“Elizabeth Thompson?” Linda frowned slightly.

Aurora nodded.

Linda continued, “No wonder Fiona hasn’t been getting better, it turns out you were looking for the wrong person.”

Who would have thought that the Miss Thompson the Knight Family was looking for, wasn’t the Miss Thompson she was referring to at all?

At this point, with a face full of regret Linda lamented, “It’s my fault, all my fault! I should have explained it clearly to you.”

If they had made everything clear then, none of this would have happened.

Madam Knight grabbed Linda’s hand anxiously, “Mrs. Wilson, please help us contact the real Miss Thompson!”

Pulling out her phone, Linda assured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll contact her right away.”

“Good,” Madam Knight nodded.

When Linda called Viola, she was on her way home from school, “Send me your address.”

After ending the call, Linda immediately sent the address of the Knight’s residence to Viola.

Madam Knight asked anxiously, “What did she say? Is Miss Thompson coming?”

Linda responded, “Miss Thompson said she’ll be here soon.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Knight heaved a sigh of relief and clasped her hands together, “May the Bodhisattva bless us.”

Aurora, standing at the side, tried hard to hold back her tears.

It was all her fault as a mother, causing Fiona to suffer unnecessarily.

She regretted not communicating with Linda on time when Elizabeth Thompson was acting improperly.

If she had clarified things then, Fiona wouldn’t be in her current state.

“Mom, it’s all my fault. I failed in my duties as a mother,” Aurora blamed herself.

Madam Knight let out a sigh.

Linda walked over to Aurora, “Aurora, it’s not your fault. I share the responsibility for this… Don’t worry, Miss Thompson is a fantastic doctor, I’m certain she’ll find a way to make Fiona better.”

Madam Knight nodded, “Mrs. Wilson is right, Fiona will surely get better.”

Half an hour later.

Viola arrived at the given address and sent a message to Linda.

Upon receiving the message, Linda immediately announced, “Madam, Aurora, Miss Thompson has arrived.”

“Quick, let’s go greet Miss Thompson,” Madam Knight suggested.

They all walked to the entrance together.

Viola had just parked her car.

Linda waved at her, “Miss Thompson.”

“Aunty Linda,” Viola approached them.

Madam Knight and Aurora looked up to see,

A young lady about seventeen or eighteen years of age.

With her long hair cascading over her shoulders, an oval-shaped face, almond-shaped eyes, dimples visible with her faint smile, she was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. Yet, she exuded the aura of a top fashion brand model, elegant and charming.

Usually, it’s the clothes that make the person look good. But in her case, it was the other way round. She made the clothes look good.

Madam Knight had seen many beautiful women in her life, but after thinking back many decades, she found that none of them could compare to the girl before her eyes.

She was momentarily speechless.

“Miss Thompson, this is Madam Knight and Mrs. Knight,” Linda introduced

Viola.

Viola politely greeted, “Madam Knight, Mrs. Knight.”

Although it was their first meeting, Aurora could tell at a glance that this girl was different from Elizabeth Thompson.

Viola was truly a cultured and refined young lady.

Elizabeth Thompson could hardly compare to her.

“Miss Thompson,” Aurora nodded in acknowledgement.

“Miss Thompson,” Madam Knight looked at Viola, “I’m entrusting my granddaughter to your care!”

Viola suggested, “Shall we go see the patient first?”

“Yes.

They then went together to Fiona’s room.

Fiona was lying in bed, looking weak and listless.

When she saw Viola enter the room, she thought she was hallucinating. It was only until Aurora spoke, “Fiona, this is Miss Thompson, who is here to treat you,”

Fiona’s eyes widened in surprise, “Vio, Vio!”

Both parties were slightly taken aback. Viola too didn’t expect that Miss

Knight would turn out to be Fiona Knight.”Fiona?”

Seeing this, Aurora curiously asked, “Fiona, do you know Miss Thompson?” Fiona Knight nodded, “Mom, Vio is my classmate.”

Aurora immediately understood and said to Viola Thompson, “So Miss Thompson is Fiona’s best friend! Fiona often mentions you to me.”

Fiona didn’t have many friends at school.

Viola was her first friend. Ever since she made friends with Viola, she has been mentioning her name to Aurora all the time, and Aurora noticed that her daughter’s character had brightened up since knowing Viola.

Aurora had originally thought, if there’s time, she should invite ‘Viola’, whom she had never met before, to their home.

Unexpectedly, this Miss Thompson happened to be Fiona’s classmate.

Serendipity indeed.

Aurora continued, “Fiona, since you know Miss Thompson, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Fiona looked at Aurora, “Vio told me before that she knows medical arts, but at the time there was another Miss Thompson treating me, so I didn’t bother her.’

In a moment, Viola sat down to take Fiona’s pulse.

After a while, she let go of Fiona’s wrist.

Madam Knight immediately asked, “Miss Thompson, how is Fiona?” Viola slightly looked up, her expression somewhat heavy, “Fiona’s condition was quite severe, combined with the misdiagnoses these past days which aggravated her condition, she will need some time to fully recover.”

Hearing this, Aurora immediately asked, “Miss Thompson, do you mean that our Fiona can be completely cured?”

“Yes.” Viola nodded slightly.

“Then we’ll rely on you!’

Viola slightly smiled, “You’re too courteous. Firstly, I am a healer and secondly, Fiona and I are very close friends.”

Afterwards, Viola took out an acupuncture bag.

Madam Knight asked in surprise, “Miss Thompson, you know acupuncture?”

Viola nodded slightly.

Madam Knight was speechless with her mouth open.

How long has it been since she last saw a practitioner of acupuncture?

Unexpectedly, this young girl in front of her had mastered the art of acupuncture at such a young age.

While Viola was smearing medicine on the acupuncture needle, she said to

Fiona, “Fiona, it might hurt a little when I am performing the acupuncture. You’ll have to bear with it, but if it is really unbearable, inform me immediately.”

In a short while, Viola began to apply the needles.

One by one, each needle inserted into the acupuncture points precisely without any deviation.

Madam Knight looked at the young girl performing acupuncture, her face full of astonishment.

Indeed, acupuncture is painful. However, compared to the pain Fiona had experienced these past days, it was nothing.

After all twelve golden needles were inserted into Fiona’s body, she surprisingly couldn’t feel any pain anymore. Instead, she felt a very unique sensation.

After the acupuncture, Viola handed Fiona a bottle of medicinal ointment, “Apply this medicine three times a day – morning, noon and night.” “Okay.” Fiona took the ointment and asked, “Vio, when can I go to school?”

Viola said, “Rest at home for three days first.”

Fiona nodded.

Viola then gave a few more notes of caution before preparing to leave.

Madam Knight wanted to arrange a car to send Viola home.

Viola refused politely, “No need to trouble yourselves, I can ride my bike home.’

Watching Viola bike away, Madam Knight sighed and said, “l never thought that there are people who exist in this world who are so extremely noble and selfless.’

Back in Fiona’s room, Madam Knight asked, “Fiona, what are Miss

Thompson’s hobbies?”

Fiona thought for a moment, “Viola likes milk tea the most.” Madam Knight asked again, “Does she like jewelry?”

“l haven’t seen her wearing any.”

Thinking of the precious jewelry that Elizabeth Thompson was wearing, and then thinking of Viola Thompson’s simple and unadorned look, Madam Knight couldn’t help but admire Viola even more.

The Thompson clan.

A police car was parked in front of Thompson’s Villa.

Two policemen got out of the car and approached to knock on the door.

Soon, the housekeeper came out to open the door.

“Officers, how can I assist you?”

“May we inquire if Viola Thompson lives here? We need to speak to her.”

Hearing that the police were looking for Viola, the housekeeper immediately said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll inform them.”

The housekeeper immediately rushed inside to find Olga.

“Madam, there are two officers outside looking for the lady from the rural area.

Upon hearing that the police were looking for Viola, Olga’s face was filled with rage, “This wild child must have done something shameful outside!”
