Linda was stunned. “Nana, what did you say?”

“I said I’m willing to grant authority to the Graham family and help them overcome this

crisis, “Natalie lifted her gaze, speaking calmly and unhurriedly.

“Really?!” Linda’s usually composed voice carried a hint of excitement and anticipation.”

“Yes.”

Natalie replied calmly, looking down at the brooch tightly clenched in Linda’s hand. “The Graham family left this brooch for Aunt Mills. Please return it to me.”

What?!

Linda, who was momentarily overwhelmed by excitement, just remembered that she was still holding onto the brooch.

“Nana, do you want this brooch…?”

Did Nana, just for this brooch, even choose to help the Graham family? Was she not mistaken?

Linda inquired, her eyes probing cautiously.

Linda’s gaze towards Natalie suddenly became cautious, although she had doubts in her heart, she

only showed a hint of inquiry.

“Yes.”

Natalie nodded, reaching out to retrieve the brooch.

But halfway through extending her hand, Natalie was stopped by Linda’s gaze. She froze. “Aunt,

what’s the matter?”

Linda quickly waved her hand. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing,” she muttered, glancing at the object one

last time.

She made up her mind and handed the brooch to Natalie.

After all, it belonged to Natalie, and while Linda desired it, she understood that she couldn’t take

something that wasn’t hers.

Moreover, between Graham Group and the brooch, the brooch was always the second choice after not getting Graham Group. Linda clearly knew what to choose, so she straightforwardly handed

over the brooch.

Natalie lowered her head, taking the brooch.

She knew what Linda was thinking.

Deciding to explain directly, Linda said, “Aunt Mills, this brooch was quite expensive when I bought

it… and it holds a special meaning for me. That’s why I wanted this brooch.”

“Otherwise, I would have given it to you as a gift.”

“No need, no need. It’s yours, and Aunt shouldn’t have asked for it,” Linda replied while nodding

appreciatively. “Nana, thank you so much!”

“You are the Graham family’s benefactor!”

Natalie shook her head. “I wouldn’t consider myself a benefactor,” as long as Julian doesn’t bother

her anymore.

“In that case, you should leave now. It’s getting late, and it’s not safe for the driver to be on the

road.”

Linda repeatedly agreed, “Yes, yes.”

She picked up her bag from the table and wiped away the half-dried tears on the paper with care.

“Nana, can I go now?”

Natalie nodded. “Take care on your way.”

Just as Linda took a step forward, she hesitated and turned back. Her voice sounded uncertain,

“Nana… Aunt…”

“What is it?” Natalie was about to sit down but stood up again upon hearing Linda’s voice.

“Aunt was wondering if you could write a power of attorney for me right now. I haven’t received it yet, and I’m feeling uncertain.” The woman’s tone was meek.

Natalie frowned. “Are you asking for it now?”

Aunt Mills immediately requested her to produce the authorization letter. Why the rush? But then she thought to herself, after all, it’s a crucial matter concerning the family, so Linda being anxious

is normal.

Linda nodded, “Is it possible?”

Natalie didn’t think much, “Well, it is possible, but I don’t have the authorization letter at home right. now, I’m afraid I need to go to Dr. Nancy’s lab to get it.”

“That will take some time.”

Linda nodded repeatedly, “It’s okay, Auntie doesn’t mind waiting.” all she wanted was peace of mind.

“Alright then, I’ll ask Hugh to go to Dr. Nancy’s lab.”

Natalie turned her head and looked at Hugh Graham, “Could you please go to the lab and get a copy of the authorization letter? It should be in Dr. Nancy’s sealed box.”

Hugh stood there motionless.

“Hmm?” Natalie frowned.

She suddenly remembered that Hugh didn’t know the layout of the lab. “Then I’ll have Ryan bring it,” even though it was already late, she didn’t want to disturb Ryan anymore, there was no other choice now.

Ryan quickly delivered the authorization letter. He arrived at Greenlife villa in no time.

He was wearing a black coat, looking a bit disheveled. He walked in with big strides, holding a bag

in his hand.

“Doctor…” Before he could finish speaking, Natalie hurriedly approached, eager to get the

authorization letter.

Linda looked at this young man who suddenly appeared.

Natalie blinked her eyes, subtly indicating Ryan, who immediately understood that he had let Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

something slip.

He glanced around and saw Linda, then quickly corrected himself, “Doctor… Assistant, I brought

the authorization letter for you.

Ryan cleared his throat, as if he still felt it wasn’t enough. He continued, “Don’t ask me for help in

the future. When I go to the lab, it’s to learn from Dr. Nancy, not to deliver things for you, the

assistant.”

Upon hearing this, Natalie raised her eyes and blinked.

She immediately understood Ryan’s intention and after a while, she said, “Understood. If you ever need help, you can also come to me. We’re all working under Dr. Nancy, so we should help each

other right?”

“Yes, yes, help each other,” Linda quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over for Natalie.

After all, it was her who made Natalie sign the authorization letter today, which caused her to

upset her colleague.

Ryan pretended to be reluctant, his words filled with impatience.

“Well then.”

Ryan pulled out a chair and sat down.

Natalie took out the authorization letter from bag and casually glanced at Ryan sitting beside her. “Would you like some tea?”

Before she could finish her sentence, she blinked her eyes. Was he wearing a pure black leather

jacket inside that coat?

Why did it feel like there was a hint of dark red color… somewhat like blood?!

Natalie furrowed her brow, squinting to get a closer look at the garment inside, to see if it was truly

stained with blood.

However, it seemed that Ryan noticed her gaze and quickly covered the outer coat, wrapping the

garment inside.

“What are you looking at, Nana?” Auntie’s voice reached her ears, forcing Natalie to snap out of her

thoughts.

She waved her hand dismissively, saying, “It’s nothing, I’ll help you seal Dr. Nancy’s document now.”

Natalie unfolded the authorization letter and took out a red seal from the cabinet. With fluid and

decisive movements, she pressed the seal down without a hint of hesitation.

“Here you go.”

Linda took the seal and thanked her repeatedly, saying, “Nana, thank you so much.”

“No problem,” Natalie replied, waving her hand.

Throughout the time spent with Linda today, she had heard Linda’s gratitude countless times…

Evening at the Graham residence.

The atmosphere inside was heavy and suffocating, as if it was barely maintaining a calm facade before the impending storm.

Linda stepped out of the car, holding the authorization letter, and walked slowly into the Graham

residence.

As soon as she entered, her eyes fell on a delicate figure.

Frowning, she questioned the woman, “Who allowed you to come here?”

Upon hearing the accusation, Niki turned her head, her initial temper subsiding when she saw it was Linda. She replied, “I came to help the Graham family… to offer my assistance.”

“the Graham family doesn’t need your help,” Linda responded harshly.

What did she mean by not needing her help?

“The Graham family is on the verge of… of bankruptcy,” she thought her assistance would be considered a kind gesture.

This old man actually said they didn’t need her help, acting like some superior emperors?

“Who said the Graham family is going bankrupt?” Linda frowned..

Just as she finished speaking, Julian happened to enter, supporting Grandpa Graham as they

walked in from outside.

Grandpa Graham had a cane in his hand, angrily tapping it on the ground as he spoke, “Linda, how could you unreasonably argue with Natalie in front of the Hazel International Hospital Gate, crying and making a fuss…”

“Even if the Graham family goes bankrupt, we must not lose our dignity,” his words were followed by the sound of the cane striking the floor heavily.

Seeing the two of them enter, Niki stood beside them, her eyes showing innocence and

agreement.

“I have obtained the authorization letter.

Linda suddenly announced.

“Tomorrow, I can resume the normal operation of New Bleomycin Drug’s supply,” she said.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Graham dropped the cane he had raised to scold Linda. It made a loud “thud” as it hit the ground.

What?!
