Sherman never imagined that the healer turned out to be nothing more than a teenage girl.
And to his utter astonishment, that girl was none other than Anthea.
At just nineteen, Anthea was more than just a tech mogul and a chess prodigy with a massive streaming following...
She had now added 'miracle healer' to her list of accolades.
Just how many hidden talents did she possess?
To say Sherman was stunned would be an understatement!
Who would have thought that a once down-and-out heiress, cast away like yesterday’s trash, could be so formidable?
If the Morris clan knew they’d mistaken a diamond for a mere bauble, they’d be kicking themselves!
Adah chimed in, “Annie, I want you to meet my son Sherman. You should call him...”
Adah paused, realizing the conundrum. Anthea considered her a sister, and she had always thought of Anthea like a younger sister.
What then should Anthea call Sherman?
The family hierarchy seemed all tangled up.
Adah was momentarily at a loss.
Anthea offered a slight smile and said to Sherman, “Hello there, my dear nephew.”
Sherman was speechless. What was she thinking calling him that?
After a brief silence, Anthea added, “Just kidding, don’t mind me!”
“Don’t mind at all,” Sherman replied warmly.
Adah’s face was a picture of surprise.
Had she really heard that right? Sherman, not minding?
Being Sherman's mom, no one knew him better than Adah did. Sherman had always been a bit of an odd duck. Cool on the outside, even colder inside.
Never one for getting cozy with girls.
He’d always worn a poker face around them, even scaring one to tears in the past.
As he grew older, he took to vegetarianism and dabbled in Buddhism.
Despite his youthful age, he carried himself with the solemnity of a seasoned man.
