Amanda looked at the box and touched it. She answered, “A gift.”
Bonnie was curious. She glanced at the box and said casually, “It’s not for me again, is it? You’ve given
me your gifts already.”
“Yes, I’ve given you mine, but your mother-in-law hasn’t given you the gift yet.”Amanda opened the
silver box with the passcode.
Then she passed the box to Bonnie and asked, “Do you like it?”
Bonnie gaped, and so did the makeup artist behind her. The makeup artist asked, “Is it real?”
The diamonds were so big, but the craft looked quite classic.
The makeup artist wondered if it was real and how much it would cost if it was real.
Amanda took the crown out of the box and cast the makeup artist a glance. “A mother-in-law will give it
to her daughter-in-law-to-be. How could it be fake?”
She put it on Bonnie’s head and said, “Gorgeous.”
Bonnie shook her head hard. “This is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
“It’s from your mother-in-law. Take it.” Amanda pressed her shoulders and looked at her reflection in the
mirror. “You look so pretty, like a princess. It fits your makeup and dressing style today. I’m sure Jos will
be fascinated at the wedding.”
Bonnie instantly blushed.
She lowered her head shyly. “Amanda, you always like teasing me.”
“I’m telling the truth.” Amanda couldn’t keep talking to her. She asked the makeup artist to continue
doing her job. She couldn’t waste Bonnie’s time, or the wedding might be delayed.
After being jested by Amanda, Bonnie had forgotten the unhappy incident that happened earlier. Right
now, she was a shy bride who was full of hopes for her wedding.
Amanda looked at her while leaning against the table.
Inwardly, she heaved a deep sigh.
She tried her best to make Bonnie forget what had happened. It was the wedding day for her and
Joshua, so Amanda hoped that they could be happy. She didn’t want other messes to destroy this
wedding today.
However, meanwhile, in a town that was located in China, which was separated by a driver from F
country, a girl was striding towards her house with a bag in her hand. She had a neat ponytail, a
standard oval face, faint willow-liked eyebrows, and watery eyes.
Her house was located on a hill on the west of the town, which was a two-story flat. She was the only
one in her family. Her parents passed away when she was little. Her grandmother had brought her up
and passed away last year. She was the only one left.
In fact, there was another person in her house right now. Around half a month ago, when she was
collecting herbs on the mountain, she encountered an injured man. He was in a camouflage uniform
and bleeding fiercely. As a kind doctor, she carried him on her back, went down the mountain, and
cured him at home.
Her family had been practicing medicine for generations. It was said that her ancestors were imperial
doctors. However, as time went by, her family declined. Right then, people preferred western medicine,
so the Chinese traditional medicines were not paid attention to.
Today she went downtown to find a herb. Unfortunately, after she looked for it in all the Chinese herb
stores, she couldn’t find it.
She guessed that she might need to go further and look for the herb in the city. It might be found in
some big herb stores.
Walking to the yard, she pulled out the key and opened the door. After entering, she locked the door
from the inside, and then she walked into the house.
She put down the bag in her hand and went to the second floor. She could see that the window was
opened and the man was standing in front of the window. Immediately, she went over and closed the
curtain. “Are you nuts?”
The man looked back at her but his eyes had no focus.
“You should know your identity clearly. A lot of people have come to our town recently, looking for an
injured man. I’m sure you must be their target. Last time, someone came to search for you in my
house. Fortunately, I have an herb storage room in my house for you to hide, so you could escape the
search. Now you are standing in front of the window. If they saw you, you would probably be killed.”
The girl helped the man to sit down.
“I went downtown today but failed to find that herb. I’m planning to look for it in some bigger herb stores
in the city tomorrow.”
The man was expressionless. His forehead still had a cured wound. He frowned deeply but his eyes
had no light at all. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll get you any trouble?”
The girl sat down on the edge of the bed and answered, “I thought of it before, but you look so
handsome. I’m reluctant to dump you.”
The man, Andrew, was speechless.
“You seemed to be a bit upset today. What’s wrong?” the girl looked at him and asked.
“Ehn. My younger brother’s wedding is held today, but I can’t attend it,” he said regretfully.
The girl immediately changed the subject. “I bought a chicken. Later I’ll make the soup and get you
more nutrition.”
As she spoke, she stood up, ready to go downstairs.
“Evelyn, are you truly quite ugly?” Andrew couldn’t connect such a pleasant voice with an ugly woman.
“Yes, I am,” the girl, Evelyn Moore, purposely told him that she was ugly.
She hoped that after he could see, he would feel surprised when seeing her. In case she told him
honestly about her looking, Andrew would imagine. After he could see her, probably he would be
disappointed if she wasn’t so pretty as he had imagined.
Hence, Evelyn wanted to leave him an ugly image. When he saw her, he would be surprised.
“But you have a beautiful voice,” said Andrew.
