Time passed quickly, and a week had already gone by since the Yarwood family incident.
It was the weekend, and Billy and Harleen were taking Tasha for a walk in the neighborhood.
"Daddy, what about that girl from last time? Is she better now?" Tasha asked.
"Her illness has been cured, and she has returned home." Billy replied with a smile.
The little girl regained her memory on the third day after the incident. Judge had someone send her back to Yarlington.
"Really? That's great!" Tasha exclaimed happily. "It was Uncle Stout who helped her get better, right? When I grow up, I want to be a doctor too so I can help people."
"Haha, that's great! Tasha will definitely become an excellent doctor!" Billy patted Tasha's head affectionately.
Then he turned to Harleen and asked, "How is work going for you lately? Is it slightly better than before?"
"It's much better," Harleen nodded. "The company structure and personnel at the group level have been basically adjusted. The transition went smoothly without any major problems or difficulties. Now we need to focus on adjusting our subsidiary companies in this next stage."
"Congratulations, my dear wife! You finally made it through one of your toughest challenges!" Billy responded with a smile.
"Yeah," Harleen agreed with deep affection in her eyes as she looked at him. "I couldn't have done it without you analyzing things for me every day and helping me relieve stress."
"Thank you, my love!"
"Mama, we're family, there is no need to say thank you." Tasha raised her head looking towards Harleen as she spoke.
"Haha! She's right, there's no need for thank-yous among family members." Billy laughed heartily.
"Okay then honey, from now on, let's not say thank-you anymore." Harleen echoed.
After pausing briefly she turned towards Billy and said, "By the way, I may have to go out of town for several days on business next month, so you'll be staying home with our little angel."
"On business?" Billy was slightly taken aback by this news. "What kind of project requires our group CEO personally attending?"
"The group secured a project in Shenford." Replied Harlene calmly."Because it is quite large-scale they are looking for local partners over there. I've already finished most of my preliminary work, I just need to go over there myself sign some contracts meet their company representatives."
"I see!"Billy smiled nodding his head understandingly
Suddenly Stout came running over excitedly making loud thumping sounds as he ran along..
"Hi, Uncle Stout!" Tasha exclaimed excitedly upon seeing him and quickly ran over.
After only a few steps, she accidentally kicked a stone and stumbled.
"Waaah..." Tasha cried loudly while lying on the ground.
"Tasha, are you okay?" Harleen ran over with concern and helped Tasha up. "Oh no, you've cut your forehead."
After saying that, she quickly took out a wet tissue from her pocket to wipe the wound for Tasha.
Tasha had indeed fallen hard; there was a bloodstain about the size of a fingernail on her forehead.
"Mama, it hurts..." Tasha cried out in pain.
"Tasha is a brave girl. Don't cry. Uncle Stout will put some medicine on it and it will be fine soon," Stout walked over and took out ointment from his pocket to apply onto Tasha's wound.
This was his own homemade hemostatic ointment which had an amazing effect. In less than one minute, the bleeding stopped. And within three minutes or so, the wound healed completely without leaving any scars behind.
