“Coming!” Anthea called out, setting her computer to autopilot before she made her way.
to the living room.
On the couch sat a couple, a man and a woman. It was Tammie and Paulina.
Upon seeing Anthea emerge, both of them excitedly stood up. “Ms. Yeager!”
A month had passed and Tammie had fully recovered.
But the sickness had taken its toll, leaving him a bit gaunt.
The two people he was most grateful for were Anthea and Paulina.
Without Anthea’s prescription and Paulina’s relentless care, he would never have made it.
So, as soon as he got better, he didn’t even inform his parents. The first thing he did was come over to thank Anthea.
Knowing Anthea was tied up during the day, they decided to swing by in the evening.
Anthea greeted them with a warm smile.
Just then, Tammie and Paulina suddenly bent down before Anthea to express their gratitude.
This unexpected act stunned both Anthea and Carole, who was nearby.
“What are you doing? Please, get up!”
Neither of the two would budge.
With tears in his eyes, Tammie said, “Ms. Yeager, you’ve given me a second chance at life. We owe you this gesture of gratitude!”
During his illness, Tammie never thought he’d recover. He had even prepared his last will.
Only those who had been on death’s door could understand the euphoria of a second chance at life.
Moreover, Anthea, despite her young age, exuded an elegance that belied her years.
She had a grace that washed away any pretense of youth. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Though Tammie was much older than Anthea, standing before her, he felt like a junior, with no sense of incongruity.
Anthea helped the couple to their feet with a laugh, “There’s no need for such formalities! Besides, as a healer, it’s my duty to help!”
Paulina handed Anthea a card, “Ms. Yeager, this is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it!”

The Black family was one of Cloudcrest’s wealthiest families, Refusing their gesture might have led to misunderstandings as if she had ulterior motives.
After a short visit, the couple prepared to leave.
Anthea and Carole walked them to the gate of the community.
Once in the car, Paulina turned to Tammis, “Should we go see your folks now? They’d be over the moon to know you’re okay”
Tammie nodded, “They’ve worried about me for years, We should definitely surprise them. Let’s get ready and call them tomorrow morning.”
“Sounds good!” agreed Paulina. “I’ll follow your lead.”
The next morning, Paulina made a call back home,
The butler answered,
To keep the surprise for the elderly couple, she didn’t divulge the details, only mentioning that something serious had happened and they needed to come quickly.
As soon as the butler hung up the phone, Luna, who had been eavesdropping, approached, “Was Paulina on the phone?”
“Yes,” the butler nodded.
Squinting her eyes, Luna asked, “Did she say what it was about?*
The butler replied gravely, “The lady mentioned a serious matter that requires Baily and Wilma’s immediate attention. I suspect that it might be…” he trailed off, the implication clear.
For the Black family, nothing could be more serious than a crisis involving Tammie.
Hearing this, Luna could barely contain her glee.
It must be trouble with Tammie!
The last time she saw him, she figured he wouldn’t last a month. And now, she thought, he must be gone!
