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.
"I 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.
