"You will never be lonely again in the future. You'll also never be so passive anymore. I know that everyone has misunderstood you and they don't know you, right? I know and I understand everything. Don't worry. If you follow me to the provincial capital, there'll certainly be room for you to shine. You won't b e relying on anybody because you are a capable person yourself, and you will be the best surgeon!"
Mira said it so beautifully and emotionally. She had given him so much warmth. Perhaps Vireo had no idea who Mira was before that, even though he had bandaged her wounds for her, but at that moment, Vireo had committed Mira to his memory. Mira, on the other hand, had also opened up Vireo's heart.
Not only that, but Mira even turned around and looked at Vireo's parents and said very gently and sensibly," You're Doctor Payne's parents. In the future, after I've married Doctor Payne, you'll be my parents-in-law, so I will care for both of you like the best daughter-in-law in the whole wide world. I will certainly keep my words. Don't worry."
Both of Vireo's parents were speechless. They were considered the most important and powerful people i n the small county. However, when they were in front of the owner of the hospital at the provincial capital and his daughter, both Lucius and his wife appeared t o be very timid and not presentable. They truly were n o different from country bumpkins. Also, they were fond of being a relative by marriage with such powerful people.
Lucius and his wife stammered for a very long time not knowing what to say. They were afraid that they would say something wrong, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to hold a conversation with the great business owner who came from the provincial county. They originally wanted to discipline their son, but at that moment, they became anxious instead.
Lucius, in particular, said to Vireo, "Vireo! You d*mned child! The young lady is so nice to you, but you put on airs instead! What do you want to do? You can't be as bad as you were in the past anymore! You simply have been spoiled by us! You're spoiled by us, do you know that? Apologize to Miss Turner immediately!"
"It's fine, Mister and Missus Payne." Mira was unexpectedly good at smoothing things over for Vireo. "A capable and talented person is usually so arrogant.
I don't blame him for that. If he is not arrogant, I wouldn't have loved him."
Vireo's parents were speechless. At that moment, the neighbors who had gathered around were all sighing greatly.
"Well, I've noticed that something great is going to happen to the Payne family." "They have a lifetime of luck!"
"Although the Payne family had no sons and they were considered a family with no descendants, their adopted son is unexpectedly so ambitious."
"Well, when it's their luck, nothing can stop it."
Some of the Payne family's rivals, who were standing slightly further away and were waiting to see the fall o f the Payne family, could not help but smile in a disheartened manner. "I've finally figured it out that these few decades is the moment for the Payne family to thrive. No matter how we play tricks on them behind their backs, the Payne family just would not fall. Look at this. We've already driven such a wedge i n between them, and yet, the more they fight the more they thrive. Well, I've got to hand it to them!"
One after another, the neighbors who had gathered around left.
The situation unexpectedly turned out in a way where everyone in the Payne family was happy and satisfied. The only person among them who was secretly upset was Mira's father. He truly did not like this son-in-law at all. After all, it was his daughter who was too willful. However, Phil had never let his daughter be unhappy in this life. As long as it was something that his daughter wanted, Phil would find a way to let her have it.
Phil had also thought about it. If worse comes to worst, he would just get this son-in-law of his, whom h e was unsatisfied with, to the provincial capital, he would then keep an eye on him at all times and let him be a kept man for life. As long as his daughter is happy, Phil was still able to support a man for nothing. However, what Phil had never expected is that his idea of only supporting Vireo alone was clearly unrealistic, i
That afternoon, when both Phil and his daughter sat a t a table with the Payne family to formally get to know each other, all three of Vireo's sisters came as soon as they heard the news. Once they entered the door of the private room at the restaurant, Vireo's eldest sister, Chloe, said loudly, "Dad, don't forget to ask the Turner family for gifts. The Turner family has plenty o f money!"
