The roads were soaked. It had been raining for a whole day in Southbury.

Aria Carver's backpack was thrown out of the door by the butler in disdain.

"Mr. Kent doesn't want to see you, Ms. Carver. So, I have to say some words in his stead. Your birth parents are in the countryside. Your father's last name is Carver.

"The Kent family mistook you for their daughter in the past. But now that Ms. Lily has been found, I hope that you can do what's best for everyone and stop contacting the Kent family."

The butler, Alfred Dun, took out a card. "Here's 10,000. Mr. Kent instructed me to give it to you as compensation."

"No need."

Aria didn't even look at the card as she picked up her backpack.

Alfred looked at her in disdain. She didn't want the money? Was she acting tough?

She should really think about her circumstances. The Kents had found their real daughter. They wouldn't want a country bumpkin like her anymore. She was an embarrassment.

"As you wish, Ms. Carver." Alfred closed the door with a loud bang.

Aria paid him no mind. She only took a black backpack when she left the Kent Residence. She stood proud and tall. She left the Kent Residence without taking anything that didn't belong to her.

The rain falling on her made her look a little defeated. The people on the second floor saw her and started snickering. They didn't care if she could hear them.

"She's finally gone."

"I know right? I was so afraid that she might not want to go back to the countryside, and would try to stay with us."

Aria didn't respond, but a sneer appeared on her face.

Were the Kents ignorant? Yes, they were.

Aria chewed on a gummy absentmindedly. She had a head of long and glossy black hair. Her face was a little pale, but it didn't make her look weak. Instead, she looked quite mysterious.

…

At the same time, the Carver family was having an international meeting at their home in Janovin.

Warren Carver sat at the head of the table. He held a cane in his hands and looked really intimidating.

"It's been so many years. Is there still no leads on your sister?"

He was talking to his six grandsons.

The Carver family was the wealthiest in Janovin. The six scions of the family were all very remarkable people.

Any single one of them would cause a stir if they went out in the open.

At that moment, they all looked saddened. Longing and sorrow filled their eyes. They were the ones that lost their youngest sister back then.

She was only a baby when she went missing. She never caused a fuss and was always very adorable.

It had been 18 years. They had never stopped looking since. All the leads went cold at a secluded village in the mountains. They had no idea how many times the human traffickers moved their baby sister around.

"Grandpa, let's keep looking. We will definitely find her!"

Suddenly, a chubby man, Frank Levin, rushed into the room with some documents in his hand. He panted as he said, "Mr. Chairman! Little Ms. Carver has been found!"

Warren, who was usually composed, stood up immediately. He was so excited that his hands were shaking.

"Where is she? Send someone to pick her up right now!"

Frank handed the documents over. "She's in Southbury. We're still looking into her exact location."

"Then let's go to Southbury! Get a car ready!" Warren was very excited.

…

It was evening in Southbury. Aria, who had been kicked out of the Kent Residence, didn't go to the countryside.

She waited for the rain to stop before she headed back to the place she was staying at. It was a very insignificant neighborhood.

When she was parking her car, someone called out to her, "You're back, Aria."

"Yeah. I'm back." Aria smiled.

Maria Goode, a fruit vendor, handed her an apple. "I haven't seen you in two weeks. No one else could help me with my arthritis."

"Don't forget about me, Aria. My hand always trembles when I'm playing chess."

Everyone knew that Aria was a very beloved figure in the Elmer district. Some retired government officials loved to chat with her as she treated their conditions.

The place might look plain and simple on the surface, but there was more than met the eye.

The person who talked about his hand was Jasper Garland, a former national chess champion.

Aria didn't delve into the identities of the other residents. She chose to live in this neighborhood because it was a nice place.

Chapter 2 More Than Meets the Eye
"I'll offer treatment for everyone at the community square tomorrow." Then, Aria reminded them, "Remember to take the medicine. Don't stay up late to watch soap operas. They won't end so soon."

"The Tiara" was all the rage in the Elmer district at that time. All the older men and women were hooked on it.

A lot of them looked guilty after Aria said that. "We…We will sleep at 10:00 pm from now on."

In the past, no one could have imagined that this group of people would be so obedient to one person. A lot of them had made great contributions to the country. Even their identities were kept a secret.

Elmer district's community manager, Joel Hayes, had been hoping that Aria would come back sooner. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Carver, I have been keeping an eye on your house. I've not allowed anyone to approach your property."

"Thanks for the hard work." Aria bowed slightly and handed him an apple.

Joel accepted the apple with a smile. "It's no trouble at all. I trust you won't be leaving anytime soon?"

A community manager like him could never keep the neighborhood's residents under control.

"Yeah. I won't be leaving," Aria said as she took the key.

Joel replied joyfully, "That's wonderful! I'll leave you be so you can unpack your stuff. Let me know if you need anything."

Aria nodded.

She inserted the key and opened the door after Joel left. The lock was very old. It didn't seem like there was anything special about it.

But after she undid the first lock, an LCD lock appeared before her.

"Confirmation to proceed with iris scan."

Aria said casually, "Do it."

"Proceeding with iris scan. Please wait."

"Iris scan completed. Welcome home, master."

It was a very classy computerized voice that hadn't been activated for some time.

The metal door opened automatically with a "clack".

The house was instantly illuminated. There was a bookshelf that was about six feet tall which was filled with medical books and containers with herbs in them.

There was a lot of greenery at the door. Most of them were herbs. All of them were labeled.

In the middle of the living room sat a very cool-looking black and red motorcycle.

Aria walked over to the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the fridge. She wanted to drink some water and watch some TV.

Suddenly, the phone that was charging on her desk rang. It was a custom ringtone.

"Richie Carver, wakey wakey, It's time for work! Richie Carver, wakey wakey, It's time for work! Richie—"

Aria took the call when it was about to ring for the third time. "Speak."

"Boss, there's a huge job in Southbury. Should we take it?"

Aria took a sip of the water. "What's it about?"

"The richest man in Janovin is looking for his long-lost granddaughter. They say she's in Southbury. It shouldn't be hard to find her. This job pays a lot."

Aria yawned. "Not interested."

"Hold on! Please wait, boss! There's another one. The type you like! It's also a huge job!"

The person on the other end of the call was very servile.

Aria placed her chin on the palm lazily. "Tell me about it."

"The York family of Janovin is looking for you. They're offering 10 million for you to treat a patient.

"They also said that people who can find you or provide information about you will be rewarded as well. They're so stacked!"

"Why are they so generous?" Aria went into work mode immediately.

She tapped the phone and said, "Send me the details of the job."

"Sure thing!"

The next moment, the floor-to-ceiling windows became a screen, and the job information was projected on it.

The York family had been around for ages. They had protected the country for generations. If Aria's memory served correctly, they even lived in the Guardian Mansion once.

The York family had sent out invitations to quite a few renowned doctors. The invitation was in effect for a week.

The location for the consultation was set at the Caesar Hotel in Southbury. They wanted to get a doctor who would be able to treat the illness of Landon York, who was in charge of the York family operations.

There wasn't much description of Landon's condition. They only mentioned that he had been frail for a long time and that his condition couldn't be revealed to the public.

It seemed like there was more than met the eye.

Aria stretched her legs. "I'll take this job."

Chapter 3 Saving Someone on the Streets
"You have a good eye, boss! I'll prepare an account to receive payment from the Yorks!"

Aria said calmly, "No need to rush. Let me sleep first. Do it tomorrow."

Other than making money, Aria's biggest interest was treating all sorts of rare diseases. This job from the York family was a nice one for her.

Honestly, she was probably the only person who wasn't fazed by the York's visit to Southbury. All of the prominent families in the city were scrambling into action.

A family like the Kents had to reach out to everyone they knew and utilize all of their connections in an attempt to get an invitation from the Yorks.

Even regular people were talking about how the city was especially lively that month.

First, the richest man in Janovin came to look for his granddaughter. Then, the York family came to receive treatment.

Some said that the Yorks came to Southbury because the legendary Whiz Doctor was in town. There were a lot of rumors about the Whiz Doctor, but some of them were quite outlandish.

This time, the Whiz Doctor might actually appear due to the York family's invitation.

…

The following morning, Aria woke up late. Like any other working adult, she didn't feel like leaving her cool and comfortable room or her cozy bed to get out into the morning sun.

But she had to work. So, she got up and washed her face. Without putting any makeup on, she grabbed her bag and left.

In order to avoid the morning rush, she scanned a shared bicycle.

"Are you heading out to work, Aria?"

"Yeah."

She was greeting everyone along the way and also had a piece of toast in her mouth given to her by Kenneth Kane.

She rode the bicycle steadily without rushing and merged into traffic after a while.

…

After 30 minutes, Aria arrived at Southbury's renowned Caesar Hotel. Everyone at the entrance and the lobby looked very busy.

In the past few days, almost all of the luxury cars in the city gathered at the hotel. In comparison, Aria stood out a lot as the only person who came on a shared bicycle.

As soon as she came to a stop, Jose Garcia, a security guard, came over to chase her away.

"Get lost, you broke college student. The hotel is not open to the public today."

She planted one foot on the ground and met his gaze. Then, she said coolly, "I'm here to save someone's life."

"You? Save someone's life?" Jose burst into laughter. "Young lady, you're still so young, but you're quite the braggart."

Aria paused for a moment. Then, she showed him proof of her accepting the job on her phone.

"Please tell the people inside that Dr. Whiz has arrived."

"Dr. Whiz? You can call me Dr. Genius!" Jose gave her an impatient look. "I've seen many invitations. You're the first one to show it on the phone…"

Jose noticed a luxury car rolling up as he spoke. So, he waved at Aria. "Go. Get out of the way."

Then, he rushed over to the car and opened the door. "Welcome, Dr. Gunther and Ms. Kent. I'll inform the staff to prepare some tea for you."

The people in the car just nodded at him. They didn't even reply. But Jose had a big smile on his face like he had won the lottery.

The car drove past Aria. Lily looked out the window and recognized Aria. Her gaze wavered slightly.

The old woman next to her, Salome Gunther, asked, "What's wrong, Lily?"

She smiled softly. "Nothing."

Aria's gaze remained calm. She walked away resolutely. There was even an amused expression on her face.

She used to be someone who held people's lives in her hands, yet she had become the target of another person's shunning. Oh, how the mighty had fallen.

Aria pursed her lips. She offered treatment to patients based on her mood and would never help those who were greedy or selfish.

She had decided to give up on offering treatment to the York family's patient. So, she took out her phone and was about to reject the job.

Suddenly, someone on the sidewalk screamed. "Oh, no! Someone has fainted!"

People started flocking toward the voice.

"Oh, God! It's a child!"

"His face is so pale…"

Hearing the commotion, Aria didn't hesitate at all. She parked her bicycle and rushed toward the crowd.

The little boy on the ground was only three or four years old. His forehead was drenched. It seemed like he had been sweating profusely.

A woman named Francine Gibson grabbed a man in a white lab coat. "Young man, you're a doctor, right? Please save the boy."

"No can do, lady. The kid's family isn't here. I can't make any decisions without consulting them."

The man in the lab coat, Jimmy Cornell, added with disdain, "Besides, I don't provide treatment to just anyone."

Aria heard the exchange between the two of them. She pushed through the crowd and said in a professional manner, "Please give the boy some space. Let the air flow through. The patient needs fresh air."

Her tone sounded so authoritative that no one doubted her.

Then, she crouched down and placed her fingers on the boy's neck.

Francine said anxiously, "Young lady, how old are you? Can you really make him better?"

Chapter 4 Doubt
"That's right, young lady. We should probably call an ambulance. This boy appears to be lost. I called out for some time just now, but no one came over," an old man said.

He was concerned that Aria might be blamed if anything happened to the boy.

Aria quickly unbuttoned the boy's coat and brought him to some shade. "Don't worry. I'm a licensed doctor."

Then, she opened her bag and took out a medical kit. It was equipped with needles and scalpels of all sizes, all arranged neatly in rows.

Aria felt the boy's pulse again.

"Stop it! How can you simply touch the patient?" Jimmy yelled. He couldn't allow Aria to do as she pleased.

She ignored him and continued to monitor the boy's pulse and heart rate.

Jimmy sneered. "I'm Jimmy Cornell, currently studying at Janovin Medical University. My mentor is Dr. Salome Gunther. I'm not just a random bystander. You say you're a licensed doctor? How old are you?"

Aria continued to ignore him. Her focus was on the boy. She took out a needle and began to sterilize it.

"I'm talking to you! Even that old man knows we should wait for an ambulance. Why can't you get it through your head?"

This was the first time Jimmy had been completely ignored by someone.

Aria had one knee to the ground. Her demeanor was cool and emotionless. "Do nothing and wait for the ambulance? Wait as the optimal treatment period passes by? Is that what your mentor taught you?"

"Who said we should do nothing while we wait for the ambulance? You're the one delaying treatment with those needles. Please don't show off your pseudo-science methods, and let me perform CPR on the patient."

Aria shot him a cold glare after she heard what he said. Who would've thought that such a pretty young lady could have such a vicious gaze?

"He has a heat stroke. Do you think CPR would help? What a worthless doctor," Aria said as she applied pressure to the boy's fingers. Her tone was glacial.

Jimmy lost his cool immediately. "Who are you calling worthless? Do you even know who my mentor is?"

He had just received an award overseas for his medical skills. He was incredulous at the woman's audacity to doubt his abilities.

"I'm not interested in your mentor. Move."

Jimmy's eyes turned bloodshot. "I'll let it slide this time since you're just a lowly traditional medicine practitioner. His lips are turning blue. It's a heart issue."

"Hypoxia and ischemia might impact the respiratory system and cause the lips to turn blue."

Aria looked at Jimmy with a cold stare, then added, "But a heat stroke can cause that symptom, too. The difference is that his pulse is steady. Moreover, his lips are parched.

"It's clear that he had been exposed to high temperatures for a prolonged period. You don't even look at these symptoms, yet you claim to be a medical student?"

"That's true. You have to look at the symptoms first. I was taught that too," someone in the crowd agreed with Aria.

Then, people in the crowd started chattering.

"It seems like the Janovin Medical University isn't anything special at all."

"That young lady is way more reliable. I noticed she was quite professional when taking the boy's pulse."

Jimmy couldn't take the humiliation anymore. "Alright. So, he has a heat stroke. Will your acupuncture cure him of it? If so, why are we even learning modern medicine?"

"You can't represent everyone else who practices modern medicine." Aria glared at him icily. "I'll say it one more time. Move."

There were two types of people she hated the most—those who looked down on traditional medicine and lousy doctors getting in the way of her treatment.

"Sure, I'll move. I'd like to see how skilled you are." Jimmy crossed his arms. "If you can heal him with these needles, I'll get on my knees and apologize to you."

"I'm looking forward to that."

Aria located the acupuncture points and raised her hand.

Chapter 5 Acupuncture Works
Aria stuck the first needle into the boy without any hesitation.

The boy immediately frowned. It was like he was regaining his consciousness. It looked like he was struggling as his brows furrowed even deeper.

Someone in the crowd yelled, "He's waking up!"

Jimmy was stunned. His face grew pale. "This can't be…"

How did she pull that off? Just one needle? Could a person really regain consciousness from that?

Aria raised her hand again. Her gaze was focused, and she looked very composed.

She stuck the second needle into the boy's fingertips to draw some blood.

Right after she did that, the boy opened his eyes. His pupils were dark and round, while his eyelashes were extraordinarily long.

He glanced at Aria quietly, but his face was still quite pale.

Everyone in the crowd was stunned.

Francine spoke up, "Young lady, you healed with a few pokes of the needle?"

Aria applied some light pressure on the needle. She saw that the bloodletting was done, so she removed the needle and pressed a cotton ball on the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Madam, it's not that simple. Applying acupuncture to the fingertips can help with dissipating the heat. He was inflicted with heat stroke, which was caused by the high temperature. I just helped him cool down with acupuncture."

"Spare me the theatrics. That kid hasn't spoken a word since he regained consciousness. You probably left him with some side effects with your treatment!" Jimmy snorted.

Francine was a little annoyed. "The boy has already regained consciousness. Why are you talking about side effects? Are you just trying to get out of apologizing to the young lady?"

"That's none of your business!" Jimmy looked at Francine and suddenly sneered. "I understand now. You're all in on this. You pulled me here, and she's trying to scam me.

"This is an organized scam, isn't it? I knew traditional medicine practitioners were all fake."

Aria's expression grew cold when she heard that. She was about to raise her hand.

Then, the boy spoke up in a weak but icy tone, "Traditional medicine has always been an essential part of Celestria's culture. You're a lousy doctor, sir. You should put more effort into studying."

"You…" Jimmy was at a loss for words. The boy spoke up right after he said he wasn't healed. The boy even spoke out against him. It was clear that the boy wasn't on his side.

Francine burst out into laughter. "Hey, kid. He's talking about you. You should put more effort into studying."

"I won't waste my breath with you bottom feeders anymore. You're just a group of peasants," Jimmy said in disdain.

Aria flicked a needle in his direction. It brushed past his face and got stuck in a tree nearby.

Such a violent display caused Jimmy to freeze up. Even his legs felt like they were about to give out.

Aria smiled as she said casually, "Don't you think you've forgotten about something?"

She was just a young woman, but she had a very vicious and commanding presence, which caused Jimmy to feel fear.

He tried to keep his cool. "What did I forget?"

"An apology," Aria said as she tapped on her phone. She looked devilishly charming.

Jimmy didn't want to do that. So, he said arrogantly, "Everyone makes mistakes. I don't have any more time to waste with a traditional medicine practitioner like you."

Francine couldn't stand his attitude anymore. "Is this how a student of Dr. Salome Gunther would act? You lost a bet to that young woman, and yet you refuse to apologize? Such ethics…"

"What's wrong with my ethics? Who here can prove I lost a bet to her? None of you will ever have enough money to pay for Dr. Gunther's treatment.

"Me being here and providing free medical services is an honor for all of you. How dare you peasants keep babbling about such nonsense? Don't you dare cause trouble here! Do you even know where you are right now?"

Francine's hands trembled in anger. "You… You!"

Jimmy snorted. He looked at all of them with utter disdain. They were in a modern society. He didn't believe that Aria would dare to do anything to him.

Chapter 6 Teaching Him a Lesson
Jimmy had always thought that the common folk were beneath him. He didn't notice that Aria's gaze changed as she looked up. Viciousness and contempt filled her eyes.

She casually toyed with a piece of candy in her palm. Then, she flicked toward Jimmy.

He felt his knee give out as he fell to the ground.

"Ah!" The pain caused him to frown.

He tried to get up but realized that he couldn't move his body at all. He couldn't talk, and his hands wouldn't budge.

It felt like his movements had been sealed with the attack.

Aria walked up to him and said calmly, "As a medical student, you failed miserably at determining the patient's symptoms, and you even declared a verdict without a second thought.

"Being a doctor doesn't mean you're better than anyone else. It's a job for you to help people in need. You're unskilled and unethical. Now that you're on your knees, I'll accept your apology. Consider this a lesson I'm teaching you in your mentor's stead."

"You!" Jimmy's eyes were filled with hatred.

Aria leaned in and whispered in his ear. "Since you're such a shameless person, it'll probably be okay if you remain on your knees here for a couple of hours."

"What did you do to me? I want to call the cops! I have been assaulted!" Jimmy yelled.

Aria smiled. "And who can prove anything? Mr. Cornell, you got on your knees yourself. I didn't even touch you."

"I know right? He deserves that!"

The people in the crowd felt great satisfaction seeing Jimmy in that state.

"The young lady didn't do anything. Stop lying!"

That was the truth. He was the one who refused to help the boy. He was also the one who was running his mouth after Aria provided treatment for the boy.

He was also the one who had been cursing at everyone in the crowd and was shameless enough to refuse to apologize. He was a true disgrace to the medical profession.

Did he really think he could just say all those things without repercussions? He even tried to blame Aria for his condition.

The women in the crowd started to yell, "Everyone, come and take a look! There's an unskilled medical student here. He's on his knees to apologize right now!"

"You! All of you!" Jimmy's face was flushed, and his breath was labored.

That was why people didn't mess with the ordinary citizens who were brave, kind, and despised delinquency. Jimmy was a fool for being so domineering in front of them.

The more people looked at him, the lower Jimmy's head hung. He wished the ground would open up and swallow him up. He was afraid that someone would recognize him.

The malice in his eyes grew as he looked at Aria.

They were both in the medical industry. So, they were bound to meet again someday. He swore he would get back at her the next time they met.

Aria didn't spare him another glance. Besides, if they crossed paths again, she didn't mind breaking his legs.

Quite a lot of the older people in the crowd asked for Aria's contact information. They had seen how she performed acupuncture on the boy.

It was clear that she was an extremely skilled doctor. They were determined to secure her contact information.

Aria didn't turn any of them down, so she added them to her contacts.

Francine asked enthusiastically, "Young lady, you were so skilled with the needles. Is there a traditional medicine practitioner in your family?"

Aria thought about Georgina Harris, the woman who used to be her grandmother while she was living with the Kents. Georgina was the only one who showed her any kindness.

She came up with a solid reason. "Yes. My grandmother practices traditional medicine. She runs a care center."

"No wonder. I'll introduce some clients to her soon!"

"Sure." Aria thanked Francine politely.

Aria didn't have the airs of a renowned doctor at all. She was a legend hiding in plain sight.

The boy hadn't spoken at all since he talked to Jimmy. He just sat there quietly as he observed everything. His eyes were very bright, and he looked really adorable.

After she finished talking to everyone else, Aria looked at him. "Are you still lightheaded?"

He shook his head. Then, he looked up at Aria. "Miss, I'm Miles. Thanks for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would've been dead."

Miles York's voice was very sweet. His eyes were round, and his face was very smooth and cute. He did a cute little bow when he thanked Aria.

"Your name is Miles? Where is your family?" Aria asked with a raised eyebrow.

"They're all inside!" Miles said as he pointed behind him at the Caesar Hotel. Not just anyone could get in there at the moment.

Chapter 7 Saved Someone Important
People in the crowd exclaimed in surprise and started talking.

"Everyone in Caesar Hotel today is quite important. I heard that there are a lot of prominent medical families in there."

"Then this boy…"

Aria wasn't surprised at all. After all, Miles was very well-dressed. The watch he was wearing on his wrist was quite expensive as well.

"Remember to bring bodyguards when you come out next time," Aria said as she packed her medical kit up.

When Miles realized that she was leaving, he clung to her leg.

Aria couldn't get on the bicycle, so she looked down at him.

Miles didn't speak. He just held on to her sleeve. He took a step whenever she did. They were going nowhere like that.

She stopped in her tracks. "I'll take you back to your parents."

"Okay!" Miles got what he wanted. He nodded and said, "I'll have my parents thank you properly, miss."

Aria adjusted his collar for him. "No need for that. I don't take payment for helping kids."

"And…" Miles shifted his gaze. "Do you have a boyfriend, miss?"

Aria stood up straight. "No."

"Then, I'll ask my brother, Landon, to be your boyfriend as thanks."

Miles smiled as he started describing Landon. "Landon doesn't like to talk, but he's very handsome. He makes a lot of money, too. It'll be good for your ego if you go out with him. A lot of pretty ladies want to marry him, you know."

Aria smiled when she heard that. "I have no plans of getting married right now."

"Okay," Miles replied with disappointment as he drooped his head. He continued walking with Aria dejectedly.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, he looked at Aria enthusiastically and said, "Miss, why don't you meet with Landon first? You should make your decision after you see him."

He was sure that Aria would fall for Landon when she saw him. He was a very handsome man, after all.

Aria smiled. "You're trying so hard to promote your brother to me. Does he know about this?"

"He's always sick. Everyone in the family has been telling him to get married. You're such a skilled doctor, and you're pretty, too. I'm sure a lot of people want to be your boyfriend. So, I'm just trying to get you to give Landon a chance."

Aria looked at his parched lips. Then, she went to buy him a bottle of water and some crackers. "Stop talking so much. You're still recovering."

Miles was very obedient. He ate whatever Aria gave him.

He couldn't open the bottle himself, so he raised it up to Aria and said weakly, "Please help me open it."

Landon's assistant, Troy Jepson, came to meet Miles and was shocked to see what was happening.

He was sure that the woman with Miles was that imposter that the Kents kicked out. Why was Miles with her?

He even asked her to help him open his bottle. Did he change his entire personality?

Something flashed in Troy's eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

He knew who Aria was, but she didn't know him.

Troy took care not to expose his identity as he walked up to them in a hurry. "Mr. Miles! I've finally found you. I'm so glad you're okay."

"This pretty lady saved me," Miles said as he held Aria's hand. He had a defiant look on his face. It was like he was finally himself again.

Troy politely said, "Thanks, Ms. Carver."

Aria looked at him calmly. "He already thanked me."

Her attitude made it hard for Troy to grasp the situation. So, he said to Miles, "Mr. Miles, Mr. Landon called in some favors to track you down. He's in the car right now. He didn't even take his afternoon meds yet."

Miles looked up in surprise. He didn't expect Landon to come out here personally.
