Ashburn said farewell to Frederic, Jacqueline, and the others, he continued to talk to Gina about the death prediction, asking her to take care.
But Gina would never believe him.
"Ashburn, that's enough! Don't be overconfident just because you were lucky enough to rescue Mr. Taylor." Gina was extremely disgusted with him and frowned tightly, "Do you know what the status of the Taylor family is? You didn't study medicine at all, you're not supposed to say a word then! If Mr. Taylor the chairman of the Scenic Group died just now, can you bear the responsibility?"
"The situation was urgent and it was important to take action. I didn't think much of it."
"Oh, of course, you don't need to think about it, because you have nothing to lose! But I am different. If the Willow family is implicated by you in this matter, we may disappear from Narada! To be more specific, you have already implicated me. Oh, now the cooperation is ruined, you are happy!" Gina's pretty face turned red with anger, she glared at Ashburn bitterly, opened the car door, and got in.
Ashburn sighed deeply as he watched Gina drive away from the hospital.
Irene walked over and sighed softly in her heart. She didn't hear what the two were talking about just now, but telling from the atmosphere, there must have been a dispute.
"Okay, Ashburn, how can a couple never quarrel? Don't take it to heart, let's go home."
Seeing his refreshed mother, Ashburn finally had something to be happy about. He took out his mobile phone and called a taxi.
Gina was driving on the road, feeling upset. The more she thought about it, the more she was not reconciled to face this situation. She had been working on the cooperation project with the Scenic Group for more than a month.
All the efforts were in vain!
Ashburn had never been like this before, but today she was nervous. She even suspected that this guy did it on purpose. Was he expressing his protest against her in this way?
He was just a live-in son-in-law, how dared he ruin her business?
Suddenly a call came in and she connected the Bluetooth.
"Hey, Gina."
"Jacqueline, is everything okay with Frederic?" Hearing Jacqueline's voice, Gina felt slightly happy.
Jacqueline smiled and said, "Congratulations, my dad said that the cooperation with the Willow Company can begin. When will you come over to sign the contract?"
"Oh, thank you, Jacqueline."
"Your company deserves this. If you want to thank someone, say it to your husband. If he hadn't saved my dad's life, we would probably have to hesitate about this cooperation for a while."
Gina felt uncomfortable and puzzled. Did this guy actually help her?
After being at an idle end for so long, Ashburn finally made some contribution to the Willow family.
…
Old Town, an undeveloped area in Narada.
Ashburn's own home was right here, a traditional dwelling with blue bricks and black tiles.
Entering the door, there was a shrine in the hall dedicated to the memorial tablets of his grandfather and father. Ashburn held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, your recovery from that serious illness this time was all due to my grandfather's blessing."
Irene didn't know what Ashburn was referring to specifically, but the hospital had actually issued a death notice before, her sudden recovery was magic. According to her usual concept, she also felt that it was her ancestors who were blessing her...
So she burned incense, lit wax, and kowtowed to the tablet.
"Ashburn, Mom is going to buy some groceries." Now that her body had recovered, Irene was in a happy mood and decided to pick up the vegetable basket.
Ashburn saw that her body was healthy now, so he let her go without any worries. It would be good to stretch her muscles after lying down for so long.
Since his mother was hospitalized, he had been running back and forth. The Willow family needed him, and his mother also needed him. He didn’t have time to clean the house, and the tables and chairs were all covered in dust.
After cleaning up, Ashburn sat down and looked at spiritual cultivation with internal vision. 460 years was only 10 years more than before.
"Damn, old Taylor's life is so cheap?"
Ashburn was a little dissatisfied with the result.
However, in the spiritual consciousness he inherited, there are records about the increase and decrease of spiritual cultivation, which can be understood easily.
Saving a life was of boundless beneficence, but it was also divided into Yang Virtue and Yin Virtue. Yang virtue means being known to everyone, while Yin virtue means doing good deeds secretly without leaving your name.
There was no doubt that as Yin Virtue increased, there would be more spiritual cultivation.
However, Yang Virtue would be rewarded with actual rewards. If you save someone, they would thank you. Even if there was no material reward, your kindness would be remembered in their hearts, and your reputation in society would increase. These things could offset part of the spiritual cultivation.
Especially when Ashburn saved a big shot like Frederic, it would be of great help to him in his future life, and greater blessings would befall him. This was something that could not be compared with just some pure spiritual cultivation.
Now Ashburn was worried about Gina. Why this woman was so stubborn?
He frowned and thought for a while. Since she didn't believe what he said, he could only use the amulet to bring her blessings and avoid disasters.
The Mountain Character Scriptures of The Five Techniques of Taoism included health preservation, alchemy, martial arts, amulet and incantations, metaphysics, and other methods. At the moment, Ashburn could only make an amulet for Gina and persuaded her to wear it.
Although the level of his spiritual cultivation could not give the amulet much blessing power, which means it may not be able to completely avoid death. But it could at least make a difference. Whether she could survive depends on her fortune.
…
The next day, after preparing the amulet, Ashburn was about to go out when he saw a black Maybach parked at the door.
Frederic walked out of the back seat with a cane.
"Mr. Taylor, nice to meet you, but why you are here?" Ashburn was a little surprised.
Frederic held Ashburn’s hand and was very intimate, "I asked Gina for your address and came here to see you. Shrewd boy, don't lie to me that you have never studied medicine! Last night I drank the Sini Decoction you mentioned for the first time. I felt refreshed when I woke up this morning. Those experienced doctors even have no idea about my symptoms. You cured me with a single prescription." He also specifically asked those doctors in the Chinese medicine shop about this prescription, when filling the prescription. He only dared to take the medicine if it was correct, but he didn't expect the effect to be so obvious.
Ashburn smiled and said nothing.
The reason why the old Taylor feels the effect was remarkable was that on the one hand, this prescription suited the remedy to his case indeed. If the prescription was wrong, no matter how much medicine he takes, it would be useless. On the other hand, his previous condition was quite serious and he was about to sexual shock caused by his young girlfriend. Naturally, this dose of medicine would be digested quickly.
This was like a person who had been hungry all day. If you gave this person some coarse food, he would find it delicious and would have an obvious feeling of fullness. But the more he ate, as his hunger decreased, the more the sense of satisfaction declined, and in the end, it tasted unpalatable.
"Mr. Taylor, you still have to take your medicine on time. If you want to fully heal your body, you must not stop taking the medicine."
"Of course, I will definitely take your medicine since it is effective. I am here just to thank you."
Ashburn smiled and said, "I told you last time that No need for thanks, I only did what I should do."
Frederic nodded appreciatively, "There are not many young people like you these days who don't ask for anything in return. Why don't you invite me in to sit for a minute?"
When guests came to the door, Ashburn couldn't resist but hurriedly welcomed Frederic in.
Gina’s amulet could only be put aside temporarily.
