“So, it was an accident?” Samuel asked with an eyebrow raised.
“The snake can be found in this mountain itself, so it is possible that the snake came here to hibernate
due to the hot springs in the area,” Billy replied.
“Ms. Jolene has been working here for over ten years, hasn’t she?” Samuel asked.
“Sir, you don’t think she did it, do you?” Billy instinctively dismissed the possibility of Jolene being
involved. I’ve seen her at work in the past two years. Ms. Jolene is a very responsible person who
always pays great attention to detail. The snake showing up at the resort was probably just a careless
mistake on her part.
“Regardless of whether she did it or not, she is still at fault for Nat getting hurt. I could have her killed
for that. In view of her great performance over her many years of service, I’m willing to spare her the
cruel punishments. However, the Bowers family will never hire someone like her ever again,” Samuel

Billy knew full well that Natalie meant the world to Samuel, and that he was being incredibly merciful
toward Jolene.
“Understood, Sir,” he replied with a nod.
After breakfast, Samuel drove Natalie and Sophia back to the Bowers residence. As the other three
boys couldn’t fit into the Hummer, they had no choice but to return in Billy’s Maybach.
Gavin quickly came out to welcome them the moment their cars arrived at the Bowers residence.
Natalie was flipping through the latest medical magazine on the couch after lunch.
Sophia walked up to her with a glass of orange juice in hand and asked with a smile, “Mommy, can I
talk to you about something?”
The three boys kept quiet and simply stared at Natalie from afar.
Hmm… She must’ve done something wrong if she’s behaving strangely like this.
With that in mind, Natalie took the glass of orange juice from her and asked casually, “All right, then.
Let’s hear it.”
Sophia was clearly nervous as she kept twiddling her fingers the whole time.
“Well, I…” After stammering for a bit, she finally mustered the courage and said, “I want to learn
medicine from you, Mommy. I want to be your student and learn to treat patients!”
Natalie froze as she wasn’t expecting for Sophia to make such a request.
Mom and Granddad have told me that many envy the Bayer family’s medicinal knowledge. There’s no
telling if spreading the knowledge will lead to disaster, so their ancestors refused to teach it to anyone
outside of their family lineage.
Sophia grew nervous when she saw no response from Natalie.
“C-Can’t I learn it?”
“No, you can’t,” Natalie replied reluctantly.

continued, “You got bitten by a snake in order to save me! If I were as good as you are, I could’ve
helped treat you instead of just crying like a useless person..
Natalie felt her heart ache when she heard what Sophia said.
“Is that why you wanted to learn it?”
Sophia nodded profusely. “Yeah! I want to become a great doctor so I can treat you, Daddy, my
better!”
Such a soft voice, and yet such a strong ambition… She’s still too young to word it very well, but I can
tell she has a strong desire to save lives. Even if she isn’t related to the Bayer family, passing their
medicinal knowledge down to her would probably benefit humanity…
With that in mind, Natalie said, “Medicine is a very difficult thing to study, Sophia.”
Sophia looked up at her with a serious look in her eyes. “I’m not afraid of it being difficult!”
“Very well, then. I want you to memorize the first chapter of Esoteric Medical Doctrine, and I’ll give you
a test on Friday. If you pass, I’ll take you in as my disciple. If you fail, then you shall not ask me to teach
you medicine ever again.”
