His daughter-in-law was really a talent!

Kiara hung up the phone, so happy that she even sat cross-legged on the sofa, counting her gains like a miserly old Misner.

“At least 350,000 in treatment fees, an antique cloisonne white jade jewelry box, and the leader owes me a favor, haha!”

This time she was really going to strike it big.

“Wait a minute, wife, did I hear that right–you collected money from multiple parties for just one case?” Mario Yuno finally understood; his daughter-in-law was really eating from both the east and the west!

Kiara put on a righteous expression, “No, I’m just looking out for the bigger picture!”

Under the premise of looking out for the bigger picture, she casually sought some harmless little benefits. There’s no problem with that, right~

Mario Yuno found her cunning, like a little fox, amusing but didn’t dare to say it; at such moments only the retired service dogs dared to express their disdain with a righteous bark.

“What are you barking at! An ungrateful white-eyed dog! Keep barking, and I’ll turn you into a hot pot dish!”

Kiara’s voice was vigorous as she pointed at Beautiful Lady. She was in her heyday, standing on the sofa and pouncing towards Mario Yuno’s back. He simply carried her around the house on his back as she playfully called for a fight.

Hearing Kiara and Mario Yuno’s laughter, Beautiful Lady let out a few displeased snorts; why did it dislike this female so much? It felt she wasn’t kind to One at all and was always bullying its friend!

As Mario Yuno carried her around playfully, Kiara noticed Beautiful Lady’s contemptuous gaze and stuck out her middle finger at it. What’s wrong, not convinced? Her husband was just so sweet to her!

Beautiful Lady barked at her once, and although Mario Yuno couldn’t see the discord between the woman and the dog, he sensed a bit of tension in the air, so he turned around.

Kiara smiled at him and quietly withdrew her middle finger, while Beautiful Lady stuck out its tongue at Mario Yuno, acting all fawning.

Mario Yuno was immensely satisfied; home felt so good.

The moment he turned his head away, Kiara again glared at Beautiful Lady, and Beautiful Lady bared its teeth in return.

“Oh, I remembered something,” said Mario Yuno, carrying Kiara with one hand free, digging out a wooden comb from his pocket. It was clearly hand-carved, with intricate patterns that carried an exotic charm.

“For you.”

“Where did this come from?” Kiara took it, holding the attractive object in her hands.

“Baron made it himself; it’s a carving technique from his hometown. After we drank together that day, he gave it to me, saying it was a welcome gift for you.”

“Thank him for me.”

…

Kiara collected benefits from three different parties for one medical record, and since the matter was of great importance, she naturally did her utmost in treating Old Father Jackson. Thankfully, he took an immediate liking to Kiara, seeing in her a resemblance to his first love, and heeded whatever she said.

So, after a few treatments, the effects were immediate, and even Kiara herself felt things were going too smoothly.

A week later, Kiara finished treating and went home for a soak in the bath. Halfway through, Aurora Dell called her with a voice brimming with joy.

“Dr. Clark, thank you for your treatment over the past few weeks. I’ve just transferred 200,000 to your account, please check it. Mario and I have to go out of town; we entrust Old Father Jackson’s subsequent treatments to you. We’re grateful for the contributions you’ve made for our family!”

“Was there a rush to send the money? My treatment isn’t completely finished yet,” Kiara said, puzzled.

“No, no, no, this is what you deserve; you’ve done a great deed. Anyway, once we’re back, we’ll surely host a banquet to thank you!”

A light bulb went off for Kiara; she understood what was going on!

Aurora Dell was so happy and generous with her money, thanking Kiara profusely, but Old Master Li Brown’s illness wasn’t entirely cured yet. This meant that Aurora Dell’s excitement and gratitude toward Kiara could only mean one thing.

After hanging up the phone, Kiara immediately called Mario Yuno.

“Has Old Master Li Brown handed over the item?”

“Yes, I was just about to tell you. I’m escorting the item overnight to the Imperial Capital tonight,” Mario Yuno replied succinctly. His daughter-in-law had done a great service this time.

The authorities were anxious for the item, and powers from Outside were eyeing it as well; her treatment had been so impressive that the leaders just called to heap praises on Kiara.

“Be safe.”

“I know.”

After the call, Kiara wasn’t feeling joyous.

She soaked a while longer in the bathtub, blowing bubbles on the water’s surface, and shadows of unease undulated alongside the bubbles.

From start to finish, she never knew what exactly the Lee Clan was supposed to hand over, but given that it involved biological technology, with interest from both domestic and foreign powers, and even the City was involved, it must be something extremely dangerous.

Mario Yuno had already returned to take over the family business; by rights, he shouldn’t have gotten involved again, but the Lee Clan, not feeling reassured, requested his personal help in escorting the item, indicating its importance and the implicit danger associated with it.

Kiara just hoped Mario Yuno would return safely without any complications.

Kiara had never felt as restless as she did today; she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to happen, leaving her heart in turmoil.
