Paul looked so amazed. It was as if he had just watched Yolanda perform magic rather than medicine. It made both Jude and
Alfred chuckle.
"Ms. Henderson, it's almost lunchtime. What would you like to eat? I'll have it arranged right away."
Alfred did not know how to properly thank Yolanda. After all, her acupuncture had essentially saved his life. He felt that money
alone would not be appropriate. He caught Jude's eye with a meaningful look.
Jude understood immediately and began arranging lunch for Yolanda. It would not be proper to send a doctor away right after
treatment anyway. He turned to Asher and Paul's group as well. "All of you should join us."
Paul felt that he had not been of any help, so he declined apologetically. He said he had other commitments and left. Asher saw
have to skip lunch."
Seeing both Alfred and Jude's desire to have her stay, she added, "I'll come back to check on your pulse again in a few days."
Noting her firm stance, Alfred did not insist. He asked Jude to see her out of the Kaufman residence. Jude offered to drive her
himself, but Yolanda turned him down too. In the end, a Kaufman family driver took her to Willow Creek Clinic.
Her comment about the clinic being busy was not an excuse. During this transition between spring and summer, there were
many patients with colds and allergies. Even their preventive cold medicine had not been enough to ward off the flu season.
Recently, there seemed to be even more patients coming in with cold symptoms.
As Yolanda got out of the Kaufmans' car, she was about to enter the clinic when she heard someone calling her name.
"Yolanda! Yolanda!" She turned to see Winnie and a middle-aged woman standing across the street.
Winnie waved at Yolanda. When traffic cleared, she crossed over with the woman beside her. Through the original Yolanda's
memories, Yolanda recognized the woman as Winnie's mother, Linda Whitmore. She was Diana's older sister.
"What brings you here?"
"Mom and I were shopping nearby and looking for lunch. Then we saw you getting out of the car," Winnie explained while
curiously eyeing the clinic behind Yolanda. "Yolanda, is this your clinic?"
"Her clinic? No way!" Linda interrupted before Winnie could finish. She frowned. "She's just a helper there!"
Linda believed Yolanda had only taken this temporary job because she had been thrown out of the Henderson family. She did
not believe a word of Winnie's stories about Yolanda healing people and saving some businessman's son.
"She hasn't even greeted me. How rude!" The Whitmores had a poor impression of Yolanda due to Diana's neglect and Yvonne's
scheming. Linda, in particular, looked down on Yolanda. She merely thought of Yolanda as fat, stupid, and worthless.
"Mom!" Winnie looked helplessly at her mother's attitude. "Yolanda isn't just a helper; she-"
Linda cut her off harshly, "Enough. Don't cover for her. I know exactly what she's worth. It's lunchtime, so let's hurry and go find
somewhere to eat!"
Linda despised Yolanda so much that if it weren't for Winnie's insistence on greeting her, she would have pretended not to see
her at all.
"But..."
