Chapter 43: 042: There’s no smoke without fire

Translator: 549690339

At this moment, Harriet Bennett stood before Viola Thompson with utmost sincerity.

He was fully prepared for Viola to give him a hard time.

After all, he had not treated Viola well before.

No one would forgive him easily, no matter who they were.

Viola stood in front of Harriet, speaking with a gentle tone, “I am young, and it’s only natural that Mr. Bennett would have doubts about me. It’s good that the misunderstanding is cleared up, there’s no need to dwell on it.”

Upon hearing this, Harriet felt even more ashamed.

Viola was only in her teens, yet she had such a generous heart, putting him, an adult, to shame!

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be as magnanimous as Viola.

For example, Old Doctor Bruce.

All it took were a few words from Linda Wilson for Old Doctor Bruce to insist on an apology from her.

Yet Viola not only didn’t ask for an apology, she even comforted Harriet not to take it to heart.

Mrs. Wilson, who was standing nearby, was slightly stunned, her eyes full of appreciation.

This young girl was not only beautiful and skilled in medicine, but she also had tact. It was indeed rare.

She wondered how her parents had educated her.

For a moment, Mrs. Wilson wanted to meet Viola’s parents and learn from them.

Mrs. Wilson smiled and asked, “Miss Thompson, are you also from River City?”

Viola nodded slightly.

Mrs. Wilson continued, “Where do you go to school?”

“I go to Northbridge.”

Mrs. Wilson’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “Northbridge is the best high school in our River City!”

Her son also wanted to attend Northbridge back then.

Unfortunately, he missed it by ten points.

Angus Wilson had pulled many strings but still couldn’t get his son in.

This had been one of Mrs. Wilson’s regrets.

Upon learning that Viola attended Northbridge High School, she couldn’t help but be filled with emotions, “What grade is Miss Thompson in?”

“Senior year.” Viola answered.

Mrs. Wilson smiled, “That’s the same as our Taotao.”

Edith Bennett happily took out her phone to take selfies. She hadn’t turned on her phone’s front camera since her face was injured.

Afterward, Edith seemed to think of something, “Miss Thompson, let’s add each other on WhatsApp! We can go shopping and have milk tea together when we have time.”

Hearing the words “milk tea,” Viola’s eyes brightened. She took out her phone,

“Sure.”

Viola’s WhatsApp name was simple.

Just two English letters.

SH.

Her WhatsApp avatar was a cute little kitten.

Edith loved cats, so she smiled and asked, “Miss Thompson, is this your cat?”

Viola nodded slightly.

“So cute.” Edith continued, “What’s its name?”

“Mantou.”

Inside the room.

Linda took out a bank card.

Harriet followed her in, “Is this bank card for Miss Thompson?”

Linda nodded.

Harriet asked, “How much money?”

“One hundred thousand.” Linda replied.

Harriet frowned slightly.

Linda, somewhat speechless, said, “Miss Thompson cured our daughter’s facial injury, and you think 100,000 is too much?”

“I think 100,000 is too little. Send me the card number, I’ll transfer some more in.”

Linda laughed, “That’s more like it.”

Soon, the couple came out of the room. Linda handed the bank card to Viola, “Miss Thompson, we’re very grateful that you cured our daughter’s injury. This is a small token of our appreciation from us both. Please accept it.” Viola didn’t refuse, accepting the bank card graciously, “Thank you.”

Linda smiled, “Miss Thompson, this is what you deserve.”

Linda also invited Viola to stay for dinner.But Viola had something to do in the afternoon, so she kindly refused. The most important reason was that she couldn’t resist the roadside spicy hot pot.

Before leaving, Viola reminded, “Miss Bennett, although you are healed now, you still need to avoid certain foods. Do not eat soy sauce and spicy food.”

“How long do I need to avoid them?” asked Edith Bennett.

Viola replied, “Two weeks.”

“Okay.” Edith Bennett nodded.

After explaining the precautions, Viola left.

Looking at Viola’s leaving figure, Mrs. Wilson walked up to Angus Wilson and sighed, “I didn’t believe you when you said Miss Thompson was so outstanding.

But now, I see she really is unparalleled.”

Angus Wilson laughed, “Am I the kind of person who talks nonsense?”

Viola rode her bike all the way.

When she reached an intersection, a Range Rover suddenly rushed out from a corner.

It happened almost without warning.

Viola couldn’t brake in time.

Bang!

The next second, the bike was knocked to the ground.

Fortunately, she avoided the car in time, and her injuries were not severe, with only a slight scrape on her knee.

“Boss, we hit someone.”

The driver looked nervously at the man in the back seat.

The man squinted his attractive fox eyes, “Get out and take a look.”

“Okay.”

The driver got out of the car and helped Viola pick up the bike. “Miss, are you alright? I’m so sorry! I was driving too fast. There are usually very few people on this road.”

It was precisely because there were very few people that he dared to drive so fast.

Viola checked the wound on her knee, “It’s nothing serious, just a little scrape.”

“That’s good,” the driver sighed in relief and continued, “Miss, let me take you to the hospital to have a look.”

“There’s no need to go to the hospital. I have other things to do. Just be more careful next time, uncle.” If it weren’t for her quick reflexes today, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

“Alright, thank you, Miss.”

Afterwards, the driver hurried back to the car and said, “Boss, the girl we hit just now said she’s fine. We can go now.”

Hearing this, the man in the car looked out the window and happened to see Viola riding her bike past them.

Her silky black hair fluttered in the wind as she rode her bike, her features were picturesque.

She was very beautiful and looked familiar.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and the scene of the girl at the medicine market that day quickly appeared in his mind.

Thompson Clan.

Olga excitedly entered Elizabeth Thompson’s room, “Emma!”

“What happened?” Elizabeth Thompson asked, looking up from her book. “Did you know there’s a violin competition next month?” Olga said.

“Yeah.”

Elizabeth nodded. free novelkiss.com

“Have you signed up?” Olga asked.

Elizabeth Thompson replied, “I’m not interested.”

Elizabeth Thompson had won numerous trophies, nine of them for her violin playing alone, and didn’t want to waste her time participating in such insignificant competitions.

For her, the competitors were all weak and offered no challenge. She’d rather spend the time at home studying medicine to improve herself.

“You must sign up for this one.” Olga said.

“Why?” Elizabeth Thompson asked.

“I heard that Mr. Terrence will also attend this event,” Olga replied.

“Terrence?” Elizabeth Thompson asked incredulously, “Is this news reliable?

Why would he come to River City to attend this kind of event?”

“Absolutely!” Olga continued, “Even Mae White is participating! I also heard that Terrence’s ancestral home is in River City.”

“Really?” Elizabeth narrowed her eyes.

Mae White was the eldest daughter of the White family, and she was the same age as Elizabeth Thompson.

She was the only one in River City who could be compared to Elizabeth Thompson.

If Elizabeth Thompson was the No.l female prodigy, then Mae White was the second.

Mae had a cold and aloof temperament. She rarely appeared in public and had never participated in any talent competitions.

Now that even Mae had signed up, this news must be true..
