“Zinnia, Raymond is a great doctor. You should learn from him if you're interested,” Henry said, smiling.
“Ha! | knew you had an agenda.” Raymond chuckled. “Every t| chere, you will tricked me. And you
know | don’t take apprentices anymore.
“Since you brought it up... Zinnia, | see talent in you. How about learning from me?” Raymond said, eyes
sparkling. Henry had found a gem-Zinnia was truly talented.
“But | already have a teacher.” Zinnia shook her head. “Thanks anyway, Mr. Spence.”
Henry rubbed his chin-this wasn’t in the report. “More teachers never hurt. Raymond's skills could really help
you,” he said.
Henry was really surprised. He had seen Zinnia buying those medicines and had even watched her do those
massages. That was why he said that. Plus, Raymond rarely took apprentices. Medical students nationwide
would kill for this chance.
Henry felt bad for Zinnia, his granddaughter he'd just got back in touch with. He'd never used his connections
before, but now he wanted to make an exception for her. He just hoped things would go a little easier for her
from here on out.
“Grandpa, | can only have one master.” Zinnia kept refusing. In her heart, there was only one person who
deserved that title.
“Mr. Spence, thanks for the offer,” Zinnia said, apologizing to Raymond.
“No biggie! If you change her mind, cfind me-I'll teach you for free,” Raymond said kindly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGetting turned down twice didn’t faze Raymond one bit. In fact, his eyes lit up with pride- he knew Zinnia had a
backbone. Most folks would've jumped at the chance to be his student.
“Our Zinnia’s got a lucky streak with her simple ways.” Henry chuckled, grinning as Raymond took a shine to
Zinnia. When Raymond liked someone, his whole face glowed.
“Thanks, Mr. Spence,” Zinnia said, accepting the nod without fuss. She'd learned plenty from her master but
knew there was always more to pick up. Nobody knew everything about medicine.
“Zinnia, did your master show you this pressure point thing?” Raymond leaned in. He felt her hand moves look
oddly familiar.
It looked just like the Moore family’s secret trick. But they'd never taught outsiders, and their line was gone.
Raymond shook his head, thinking it must be a copycat style.

“Yeah.” Zinnia nodded.
“Henry, you're lucky to have her,” Raymond laughed.
“What's all the ruckus? | heard it from the porch.” Sofia walked in.
“Grandma!” Zinnia called out.
“Raymond, you staying for dinner?” Sofia spotted Raymond right away.
“Wouldn't miss it.” Raymond grinned. “Cfor your cooking.”
“What's so funny?” Sofia asked, handing over the shopping bags to a maid.

“Zinnia’s a genius,” Henry beamed. “Raymond quizzed her on medicine, and she nailed it. We might have
another doctor in the family.”
“No way? Our Zinnia's that smart?” Sofia piled on the praise, determined to keep Zinnia’s spirits up.
“If she weren't already apprenticed, I'd snag her as my last disciple. She’s a gem—you struck gold,” Raymond
said, eyebrows wiggling.
Raymond's white eyebrows were practically twinkling with joy, and his eyes were all lit He really wished he'd
been the one to scoop up a talent like Zinnia.
Their med talk showed Zinnia knew way more than basics. ‘She's tackling hard stuff as a teen. Who knows how
far she'll go?’ Raymond marveled inwardly.
“Zinnia, could | meet your master? I'd love to swap notes,” Raymond asked, scholar-curious. Age just made him
hungrier for med chats.
“I don’t know his name. | addressed him ‘Master’ and he left recently,” Zinnia answered.
“Left? Oh no... Zinnia, | didn’t mean-" Raymond winced, thinking she meant her master died. He apologized fast.
“It's okay,” Zinnia said, clueless about the mix-up. She almost mentioned telling Raymond when her master
returned but decided against it.
Zinnia was sharp but sometimes slow-leftovers from childhood health stuff.
Henry and Sofia’s hearts ached to hear that.
“Crabs are almost done. Jackson's home,” Benedict announced, breaking the tension.
“Zinnia, I'm back,” Jackson said as he walked in, eyes locking onto Zinnia. “Grandpa, Grandma, Mr. Spence,”
Jackson smiled, greeting everyone.

Raymond beamed at Jackson, “It’s been a while. You change a lot. You're more reliable than
Yannis.”
“Give Yannis time,” Jackson laughed, referring to his buddy.
“Yeah.” Raymond nodded.
“Crabs are ready. Go wash up, Jackson,” Sofia urged.
