Chapter 98
An hour later, Zach drove up to the entrance of a large mansion. He made a phone call, and the mansion's gate opened.
An elder, Floyd Harmon, came out to greet them in traditional attire. "Mr. Wright, Mr. Hansen Senior is waiting for you in the living room."
"Thank you, Floyd."
Zach parked the car in the mansion's lot and led Yolanda through the garden to the entrance of the main building.
Yolanda observed the design style of the entire mansion. It had a post-modern twist with a hint of Culomian style. Upon entering the main hall, they were greeted by a long corridor adorned with numerous paintings by renowned artists. Yolanda noticed that Simon's paintings were prominently displayed in the center, with a space left beside them for another piece. It indicated the owner's particular admiration for Simon's work.
When Zach entered the living room, he immediately greeted the elder sitting on the sofa.
"Uncle Nigel, I've brought my friend."
"Zach, come in and have a seat." The elder smiled warmly and beckoned.
"Yolanda, this is Nigel Hansen, the chairman of the Havarian Jade Appraisal Association's Riverdale branch. He's also a respected elder of mine."
Yolanda looked at the elder with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
What a small world. The man, Nigel, was the same person who had collapsed outside the Regency Hotel the day before.
She had stabilized his condition yesterday, but because the medication she intended to give him was discarded by Brigham, Nigel's illness had not been fully treated.
It seemed that after being taken to the hospital, Nigel's actual condition could not be diagnosed by the doctors, and he was only advised to rest at home.
Zach didn't notice Yolanda's reaction. He smiled and introduced Yolanda to Nigel. "Uncle Nigel, this is Yolanda Henderson. Don't let her young age fool you. Her medical skills are exceptional. She's the one who saved Evan after his car accident." "Oh? Is that so?"
Nigel took another careful look at Yolanda. Since he had been unconscious during her treatment the day before, he hadn't recognized her.
Nevertheless, he didn't show any disdain for her appearance. Instead, he smiled kindly.
"I heard about Evan's situation. How is he now? When you leave, have Floyd give you some reishi mushrooms to take home. They're good for boosting blood."
"Thank you, Uncle Nigel. Evan is fine now. As long as he rests for another week, he could leave the hospital."
Nigel nodded in acknowledgment. He then turned his attention back Yolanda. "At such a young age, with your exceptional medical skills, your future is boundless."
Yolanda smiled slightly. "Uncle Nigel, you flatter me. It's just a small issue. After all, treating and saving lives is the duty of a doctor."
Yolanda had a good impression of
Nigel. Perhaps because Zach brought her here, Nigel's attitude was more like a kindly elder rather than an authoritative figure.
At Yolanda's age, she would normally address Nigel as "Grandpa". However, like Zach, she chose to call him "Uncle Nigel".
Nigel didn't mind. Instead, he warmly invited Yolanda to sit down and enjoy some fruit.
"Yolanda, why don't you take this opportunity to check Uncle Nigel's pulse?"
After chatting for a while in the living room, Zach suggested as the conversation seemed to be winding down. Yolanda nodded. "Sure."
Just as she was about to stand up to treat Nigel, a cold voice suddenly came from the stairs, "What are you doing here? You didn't manage to scam any money yesterday, so now yoti've come to our house?"
Yolanda looked up and saw Brigham standing at the top of the stairs. He glared at her with anger.
