Olivia walked closer to Mason, who had a bright smile on his face.
“I’ve heard about everything that happened last night. You’re young, but you have such incredible courage. You’re a rare talent, indeed.
won’t be able to recover too soon, but I heard Joel say you’re adept in herbal medicine. Would you be willing to stay as my chief physician
and take care of me?”
It was as Joel had said. Capable people are always going to be
recruited by the government.
Anyone else would be overjoyed by this offer. Olivia wasn’t interested in the slightest. She had her own path to walk.
Before she could even respond, Krystal spoke up urgently. “Dad, you
don’t even know her background. How could you allow her to take
care of you?”
Mason said kindly, “Krystal, if she really wanted to harm me, would
she have tried so hard to save me last night?”
“I’ve talked it through with Joel. Vanessa is the best person for the
role. She is adept in both modern and herbal medicine.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Heath. I don’t think I’m skilled enough for the job. You
should pick someone else for it.”
Tatiana anxiously grabbed Olivia’s hand.
“Who else would be more skilled than you? You’ve already proved

your ability. We’ll try our best to satisfy any demands you might have.”

“I’m just a doctor from a tiny village. I won’t be able to live up to your
expectations.
“Besides, I’m used to a life of freedom, and I won’t be able to get used
to a life where I’m stuck somewhere on a daily basis.
“But I can stick around for a few days until your condition is stabilized.
“How dare you. Who do you think you are? How dare you turn my
father down?”
Krystal didn’t like Olivia much to begin with. Olivia’s rejection made
her feel like she was too arrogant.
The chance to work for Mason was an honor. She should accept with
gratitude.
“Krystal!” Linus yelled.
Krystal saw that Linus was angry and was reminded of how he had
been last night. So, she didn’t dare to say another word.
Olivia nodded at Mason. “I heard that you just underwent a medical examination. I’ll go take a look at the results. I’ll leave you with your
family.”
Olivia exited the room after that. Linus spaced out while he watched
her leave.
Before she could walk away, Linus called out, “Please wait.”
Olivia stopped in her tracks. Truthfully, she didn’t like to be near Linus.

He had a bloodlust to him because he was on the battlefield most of
the time.
“Is there anything else, Mr. Heath?”
“You should give my father’s offer some consideration before turning
him down.”
If it were in ancient times, Olivia would be marked for death if she
turned down an offer from someone of Mr. Heath’s status.
It was basically a blessing to receive such an offer.
But it wasn’t the ancient times anymore. Olivia didn’t have to be afraid
of any repercussions.
“These are turbulent times. My father needs talented people like you
by his side. If you have any reservations, you can bring them up.”
Olivia frowned. “If I insist on rejecting the offer, will you forcibly keep
me around?”
“If I wanted to, I could do that. But I wish you would stay willingly.
With your skills, you’re a very precious talent for the country.”
Olivia sneered. “If I had known this is what you would do. I would
never have come.”
“Please don’t misunderstand, Ms. Vanessa. I sincerely hope you can stay. If you agree to stay, you’ll get money, status, and anything else
you might want.
“If you are unwilling, I won’t force you either. After all, our family is indebted to you. That will never change. We are not a family of
