The next day, Olivia woke up and prepared breakfast for herself.

She didn't eat the breakfast made by the Patterson family, not because she didn't like it. It was because since she had decided to improve her culinary skills, she wanted to try her own cooking first. Breakfast was simple. She prepared boiled eggs and pancakes.

Olivia had a habit of making food for two, not because she ate a lot, but because she was used to leaving a portion for someone else.

However, after subconsciously making an extra portion, she frowned. She was worried that it might go to waste if no one ate it.

Just as she was thinking about what to do with the extra portion, the chef approached with a smile. "Ms. Olivia, did you make an extra serving?"

Olivia looked up.

The chef encouraged himself and asked, "Can I have it?"

Olivia pushed the plate toward him.

In an instant, the chef was happy, even his eyes lit up with joy.

The butler was busy with morning tasks, and by the time she came to the kitchen, there was only a clean plate left.

The butler was frustrated and she exclaimed. "Why didn't you leave some for me?"

Upon hearing the commotion in the kitchen, some servants came over to take a look. They learned that the butler and chef were fighting over the breakfast made by Olivia. One of the servants was surprised and asked, "Is it really that good?"

A chef who was skilled in making pastries, sneered and replied

disdainfully, "Who knows?"

After breakfast, Olivia went to examine Anthony and coordinate the next steps of his treatment./

Gabriel and Lindy went over together.

At the door, Lindy hesitated, her steps slowing down.

Gabriel looked back at her and urged, "Hurry up."

Lindy forced a smile. "Okay."

She felt somewhat guilty, but more so, she felt remorseful.

Olivia was putting so much effort into this, yet she had been sneaking the medicinal cuisine without her knowledge. It made her feel like she was letting her down.

However, while she held this remorse, she couldn't joke about her son's health. She thought about making it up in other ways later, perhaps by sending some gifts or offering financial help to Olivia. When they arrived at Anthony's room, Olivia first carefully observed his expression and then asked a few simple questions before taking his pulse. This time, she took his pulse for a bit longer. The Patterson family had never held her medical skills in high regard, but seeing her this way, their hearts couldn't help but be anxious.

"What's wrong?" Gabriel asked impatiently.

Olivia looked up, gazing intently at Gabriel without saying a word.

Then, her gaze shifted indifferently to Lindy.

Lindy's heart tightened, and her scalp felt like it was about to explode. She suddenly had the feeling that Olivia had seen through her.

It was as if everything was laid bare in her eyes.

Soon, Olivia withdrew her gaze, speaking with a slight calmness, "Everything is fine."

The butler spoke up at the right time, "Ms. Olivia, what kind of medicinal herbs should we prepare today? I'll have someone get them ready." Olivia replied, "Same as yesterday."

The butler paused, unable to contain his surprise, and asked, "Didn't you mention that the medicinal cuisine is different every day?"

"Yes." Olivia lowered her gaze. "Today is only the first day."

Lindy gripped her sleeve tightly as her heart was racing. She was a little flustered.

Could it be that Olivia had figured it out?

If Olivia had indeed known the truth and questioned her, how would she explain?

Even though she didn't want Anthony to consume the medicinal cuisine, she didn't want to upset Olivia.

And just as she was feeling panicked, Olivia looked up and cast another

glance at the butler.

Her voice remained soft, but it carried a hint of curiosity. "Did you drink that soup?"

The butler was shocked and looked at Olivia in disbelief. "How did you know?"

Olivia didn't respond to her question but instead asked, "How do you feel?"

"Feel?"

The butler paused for a moment, then quickly grasped the situation. Did Olivia ask her how she felt after drinking the soup?

The butler hadn't thought of this before, so she hadn't noticed. Now that she was reminded, she carefully recalled how she felt after drinking the

soup.

Her thoughts were in turmoil.

Could it be that everything was because of the chicken soup?

She had even thought this morning that she had slept well the previous night.

She had always been a light sleeper. Recently, perhaps due to the change in weather, her leg joints had been aching, and she couldn't sleep at night.

But last night, she slept exceptionally soundly. Not only did her leg joints. not hurt, but she also didn't wake up during the night and slept until morning. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and full of energy.

Initially, she hadn't thought about the chicken soup, but now the more she thought about it, the more astonished she became.

She carefully described her feelings after drinking the chicken soup and then gazed intensely at Olivia.

She thought in her mind, "If all this was due to the chicken soup, wouldn't Ms. Olivia be a miracle doctor?"

After listening to the butler's narration, Olivia didn't say much. Instead, she turned around and looked intently at Anthony, asking, "Do you want to drink it?" Anthony smiled and nodded. He replied with a clear and gentle voice, "With such a miraculous soup, how could I not drink it?”

Olivia blinked and said okay before getting up to leave.

Gabriel went out to see her off.

However, Lindy didn't move. She sat on the chair and was lost in thoughts.

Anthony looked at his mother and sighed internally. He had already gathered the situation from everyone's reactions and the butler's words.

Lindy had likely not trusted Olivia's medical skills, hence she didn't allow him to try the medicinal cuisine.

He walked over, sat next to Lindy, and held her hand. "I know you're doing this for my own good."

Touched by Anthony's consolation, Lindy's eyes welled up slightly.

She had never expected that Olivia would find out, let alone that she could tell who had drunk the soup.

For a while, her dignity was somewhat compromised.

Anthony reassured her. "Mom, this is a good thing!"

"What good thing? Are you laughing at Mom, too?" Lindy scolded while wondering why it was a good thing. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear instantly. Anthony smiled. "Even though Olivia could tell that I didn't drink the medicinal cuisine and it made you lose face, it also indirectly shows how skilled she is. Isn't that a good thing?" “That's right!” Lindy finally grasped the positive aspect.

Olivia could tell that Anthony didn't try the medicinal cuisine just by taking his pulse. She also knew that the butler had tried the medicinal cuisine by just talking to her. This showed that her medical skills were exceptional.

Not only was she powerful, but she was also observant.

Lindy was now excited.

However, after her excitement, she felt worried. "Will Ms. Olivia be angry with my doing?"

"No, she's not angry with you," Anthony explained calmly. "She not only isn't angry but also understands your concern. That's why she asked the butler to describe the changes in her body to put your mind at ease."

Anthony had a very sensitive heart due to his physical condition, which allowed him to easily perceive the emotions of others.

"That's great." Lindy was relieved.

After learning that the medicinal cuisine soup had been consumed by the butler and the chef, Lindy quickly called the two of them over to ask about the details.

The chef, with a more robust disposition, didn't pick up on the subtle changes like the butler did. He only noticed that his wrist was no longer aching. He was used to holding a large ladle with his left hand, Although he was strong, it still had caused him to develop chronic pain.

The ladle was usually heavy, making it difficult to handle. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But after drinking the medicinal cuisine the previous day and getting a good night's sleep, he noticed that the condition of his hand had become better and it didn't ache anymore.

After hearing the chef's words, Lindy and Gabriel exchanged excited glances.

Gabriel took a deep breath to calm his emotions and then called Berina.

"Berina, tell me the truth. How good are Ms. Olivia's medical skills?"

"It should be good."

Gabriel furrowed his brows, dissatisfied with his sister's response. What did she mean by "should"?

"Then how did you know that Olivia knew how to treat patients?"

Berina frowned and thought carefully before hesitatingly saying, "I've seen her treating Mr. Book's condition. It's strange, isn't it? Why didn't Mr. Book go see the renowned physician Isaac? Instead, he came to our base to consult with Olivia. Through his demeanor and conversation with Olivia, he seemed to have full trust in her."

Gabriel was surprised upon learning that Jake had consulted Olivia for his health.

His eyes widened suddenly as his heart raced, and his mouth went dry.

That was Jake, one of the prominent figures in the Hushe Republic.
