Chapter 5 Leila Gets Injured

When the villagers heard the commotion, they all came out to see what the fuss was about. “Vivian. I asked you to watch my daughter for a while as I needed to go to treat an ill villager. But you took the money and fled home.

Hazel turned her gaze towards the gossiping crowd and said, “From now on, I’ll take care of my daughter every step of the way. If anyone in the village feels unwell, they should go to town for medical treatment.”

With a a few words, she explained why she no longer offered medical treatment. That day, word of Vivian taking money without doing any work and angering her employer spread in Nyack.

The next day, some villagers sought Hazel’s acupuncture treatment after experiencing discomfort from rheumatism. But she turned them all down.

Hazel’s attitude toward Gabriel also improved a little because he looked after Leila that day.

Gabriel cooked three meals for everyone while he was preparing meals for his two sons.

Hazel found it funny when she thought about it. When they were married and living together, she never got to taste his cooking. But now she did after their divorce.

However, since she heard Leila call Gabriel Daddy the other day, Hazel no longer allowed him to get close to Leila.

Except for meal times, Leila was always in the second–floor study.

Leila mostly stayed in the children’s play area of the study. Jaxon and Joshua also often stayed there to accompany her.

The two brothers usually went to play with Leila after they got up in the morning. They had grown accustomed to Hazel’s long face.

Ezra found their peculiar but loving relationship perplexing.

Another week had passed.

The sky cleared up on the second day after the rain stopped and the river water subsided.

Hazel had an important call to take. She got up and went to the balcony to answer it when he noticed Leila playing with toys inside the study’s railing, accompanied by Jaxon and Joshua.

Her subordinate reported to her about the situation of the land at Redwood Ren

Hazel said, “John, we have to buy that piece of land.”

In the past two years, she visited so many places and found that only the piece of land at the Redwood Resort was ideal for growing her precious herbs.

Once large–scale cultivation of new varieties was successful, many currently incurable fatal diseases could be alleviated or even cured.
