Chapter 158 We Will Attend Your Engagement Party Rosalie did not speak again after greeting them. It would be rude for her to leave without informing Old Master Quirke, so she could only just stand there quietly and listen to their conversation.

Melody withdrew her gaze from Rosalie and looked at Old Master Quirke with concern, “Your good health is really a great blessing for the Quirkes.”

Old Master Quirke nodded with a smile as he turned to Rosalie and said, “It‘s all thanks to Dr. Jacobs.

If it weren‘t for her, I‘m afraid I‘d still be lying down in bed!”

Everyone‘s eyes fell on Rosalie after he said that. Clara echoed, “Dr. Jacobs is a great benefactor of the Quirkes.” Just those few words pushed Rosalie in front of Melody and her group.

Rosalie‘s slight frown was imperceptible as she calmly replied, “I‘m not a benefactor. This is what I should do as a doctor. I‘m also very happy to be able to treat the old master.”

Seeing her so modest, Old Master Quirke appreciated her even more.

Seeing the old master‘s attitude toward Rosalie, Melody‘s eyes chilled slightly, but her smile did not diminish.

“I couldn‘t tell with how young the doctor is, but she‘s indeed quite capable. Even the famous doctors we invited were powerless but she was able to cure you,” she insinuated.

Judging from her words alone, it really sounded like it was praise for her.

However, Rosalie could feel the obvious hostility in Melody‘s tone. Rosalie‘s heart sank, but she ignored it.

When Wendy, who was at the side, noted that the conversation topic at the moment was about Rosalie, she was unhappy. Seeing that no one was speaking at the moment, she let go of Melody‘s hand and fawned over the old master.

“Grandpa Quirke will survive this illness and live a long life in the future. Everything will be fine from now on!” Old Master Quirke‘s attention was attracted by her. He laughed and joked, “Where did this come from?” Wendy smiled. “It‘s a saying. The point is, with how great you are, you‘ll definitely be blessed with good fortune!”

Hearing these auspicious words from her, Old Master Quirke was in a good mood. He nodded with a smile. “Then I‘ll be hanging onto your auspicious words!” With that, he looked at Rosalie again, seemingly wanting to attribute credit to her. Wendy noted the old master‘s intention and pretended to blame herself.

“It‘s unfortunate that I was unable to find a doctor like Dr. Jacobs sooner. Otherwise, you wouldn‘t have had to suffer for so long, Grandpa Quirke!” Hearing her self reproach, Old Master Quirke quickly waved his hand to appease her. His words were full of relief, “What are you saying? While I‘ve been lying down in bed these years, my mind was clear. You found so many famous doctors all these years. I think you must‘ve spent a lot of your time searching for them, no? I remember this gesture of yours!”

“But none of the doctors I found were useful…” Wendy said with red eyes.

Seeing how much she had taken this to heart, Old Master Quirke felt at ease. He said with a smile, “I know you‘re a good child. It‘s fortunate that you found those doctors all these years. Otherwise, I would‘ve suffered more than that.”

Clara also quickly followed along, saying, “Wendy, you‘re really thoughtful. You treated the old master like your own grandfather. We‘re very humbled.” After saying that, she also recalled that Byron had also searched for many famous medical herbs these recent years.

She added, “Byron has also been very thoughtful these few years.” Byron nodded slightly. “It‘s what the younger generation should do.”

After hearing this, Clara looked at their clothes and could not help but say, “Good things come in pairs.

You and Wendy have been together for many years. You two came to the old master‘s birthday banquet this time. The next time, it‘ll be our turn to attend your engagement party!”
