The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1032 - 980: Fortuitous Encounter

"I’ve got a whole head of flowers, and you’ve only got one, be content."

"..."

"Son, give dad a green flower!"

"Sienna Johnson, are you planning to hang a red apricot over the wall and give me a green hat?"

Adrian Desmond knows that in Orienta, putting green on a man’s head isn’t a good thing.

"Haha..."

"How dare you laugh?"

Sienna Johnson isn’t afraid of him, she intentionally grabs her son’s hand, puts a light green flower on Adrian Desmond’s head, and grabs her son’s two little hands to clap.

"Son, is the flower on daddy’s head pretty?"

Sheehan frowns, grabs the green flower, and tries to put it on his own head, but his hair is too short to hold it, causing him to get frustrated and want to throw a tantrum.

"So many colorful flowers, why insist on a green flower, what kind of strange aesthetic is this?" Adrian Desmond says in confusion.

"Kids don’t understand." Sienna Johnson puts the flower on his clothes, Sheehan then stops throwing a tantrum.

"Ah..." A scream comes from the front, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

A scream interrupts the harmonious moment among the family of three.

Sienna Johnson looks over and sees an old lady has fallen.

Old people are different from young people, their bones are fragile, once they fall, it can lead to fractures at best, but at worst, it can be life-threatening.

The old woman lies on the ground groaning in pain, the old man struggles to lift her, growing frantic with worry.

"I’ll go check." Sienna Johnson walks over quickly.

The old gentleman sees the woman with a head full of flowers, like he’s found a lifeline, repeatedly saying, "Quick, help me get her up..."

Sienna Johnson squats down to examine the old woman, she asks, "Where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere."

It’s unclear where the old lady is hurt, any movement causes her pain, and judging by the look of it, it should be a fracture.

"Adrian, you go call the doctor."

"Okay."

The old gentleman holds her hand, continually comforting her, "It’s okay, it’s okay, we’ve been through everything, we’ve faced wars, ************ didn’t starve us, the Cultural Revolution didn’t defeat us, you’ll be fine now too."

Even though the old lady is sweating profusely from the pain, she grits her teeth and stops groaning.

"Yes, nothing can defeat us!" the old lady said.

The two are conversing in flawless English, clearly indicating these are high-level intellectuals who survived the Cultural Revolution with their resilience.

Adrian Desmond brought the doctor over, after examination, it turns out she only twisted her waist and foot, no fractures.

"God bless!" The old gentleman breathes a sigh of relief, making two signs of the cross over his chest, his face full of earnest gratitude.

Because there’s an event today, only a male doctor and a female nurse have come, and the female nurse doesn’t have the strength to lift, so Sienna Johnson takes her son, letting Adrian Desmond help lift her over.

Adrian Desmond glances at the thin doctor, then looks at the stretcher, asking, "Is it okay if I just carry her over?"

"You can, but be gentle."

Adrian Desmond looks at Sienna Johnson and asks, "Mrs. Desmond won’t get jealous, right?"

"Is this any time for that, quickly take the old lady to her room." Sienna Johnson glares at him.

Adrian Desmond bends down and steadily picks up the old lady, striding towards her room.

...

The old gentleman and lady live in a one-bedroom apartment, well equipped, looking quite nice.

The old lady gratefully says to Adrian Desmond, "Thank you, young handsome man."

"No need to thank me."

Sheehan isn’t light, Adrian Desmond fears Sienna Johnson will tire from holding him, so he takes over, the old lady’s eyes are fixed on Sheehan, she says, "Your child is truly beautiful."

The old gentleman says, "If our child had been born, he would certainly be more beautiful than him."

Adrian Desmond says, "With you looking so ugly, how could a child you have possibly be more beautiful than my son?"

The old lady gets angry, "You brat, what are you saying?"

The old lady says, "Haha... he’s just jealous of you."

"..."

"Humph!"

"When the troop was relocating back then, my child miscarried, the conditions were too harsh, and after the miscarriage, I didn’t recover properly, so I could never have children again.

My husband loves children, my only regret in this life is not being able to give him a child."

The old lady said, "Can I hold him?"

"This?" It wasn’t that Sienna Johnson was stingy, but given the old lady had just taken a fall, was it really safe for her to hold a child?

Everyone looks to the doctor, the doctor thinks they’re asking about the old lady’s condition, so he says, "It’s not a big deal. The old lady is elderly, her blood circulation is slow, she needs to activate her meridians and speed up circulation."

The old gentleman immediately lifts the hem of the old lady’s cheongsam and starts to forcefully massage two thin legs with just skin and bone, muttering to himself, "Don’t worry, I’ll massage you to get the blood flowing."

The old lady says, "Death, I’m not afraid, having lived to this age, I’ve seen it all, if I die it’s worthwhile. My only fear is that when I die, my time with you will come to an end."

Tears come to the old gentleman’s eyes, he holds her shoulders, slowly bends down, kisses her cheek, saying, "I love you, and this love will never fade."

Hearing this, Sienna Johnson’s nose tingles as her eyes suddenly redden.

"That’s not how you do it..."

Sienna Johnson walks over, massaging the old lady’s legs, "The human body has many acupuncture points, once you press them, open the meridians, and a person becomes healthy."

"Are you a practitioner of Traditional Medicine?"

"My major is Modern Medicine, with a minor in Traditional Medicine."

"Then we’re in the same trade. My partner and I are virologists who researched viruses for a lifetime."

Sienna Johnson looks at the two elderly people in surprise, "What viruses do you study?"

"Do you know about Raelnia’s bacterial warfare?"

"I know."

"During the bacterial warfare, Raelnia spread diseases like plague and cholera... back then my partner and I studied the antidote for these viruses..."

The old gentleman’s eyes glisten with tears, "At that time, medicine was in extreme short supply, and not everyone could obtain the antidote..."

The old gentleman couldn’t continue speaking, the old lady continued, "...back then so many people died not because we couldn’t craft the antidote, but due to medicine shortage."

"It’s all in the past..." Sienna Johnson comforts the two elderly people who’ve suffered from war.

"Indeed, it’s all past. Now everyone is living in a peaceful era, content with life, cherish it."

"We will."

"It’s amazing, I don’t feel pain anymore." the old lady says in amazement.

"Young girl, how did you do this, teach me."

"I only know the basics, I’ll introduce you to a great Traditional Medicine doctor."

"Sounds good..."

"..."

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Sienna Johnson dares not let the old lady hold Sheehan, placing Sheehan beside the old lady’s bed.

Sheehan curiously watches them, and then babbles whatever he doesn’t understand.
