Chapter 51:
Austin’s pallid complexion was already giving way to a healthier, more robust glow. It was as if life itself had been poured back into him in the span of minutes.
It was nothing short of astounding how such a dramatic change had occurred in just a few minutes—a true testament to Yelena’s remarkable medical expertise.
Jarrod, in particular, could barely contain his awe. He found himself thinking that if he had the chance, he would happily stay by Yelena’s side, eager to learn the secrets behind her unparalleled medical prowess.
As Yelena began to pack her tools with quiet efficiency, Austin rose to his feet.
“Thank you, Miss Roberts,” he said, his voice steadier and richer than before.
With a slight nod, he gestured to Domenic, who stepped forward holding a delicate box. “This contains the jade you’ve asked for.” Yelena paused briefly, her fingers brushing over the box before finally taking it.
“Alright, I’ll be back in two weeks,” she said coolly, her voice steady as she turned and strode away. Her movements were sharp and precise, every action deliberate, with no hesitation or wasted words.
Most people would have jumped at the chance to cozy up to Austin. After all, he wasn’t just anyone—he was the Barton family heir, the powerhouse of Kheley, dripping in wealth and influence. The kind of man others would bend over backward to impress.
But Yelena? Not a glimmer of interest. To her, Austin was just another patient, no different from the rest.
If she wasn’t pulling some next-level “hard-to-get” move, then she genuinely didn’t care about Austin at all. And that? That made her one-of-a-kind—a woman with a mind and heart entirely her own.
Yelena arrived home just as the family gathered in the living room, her entrance as graceful as ever. With a warm smile, she greeted everyone and then reached into her bag, revealing a small, elegant box. Opening it with care, she removed a striking piece of jade and gently hung it around Donna’s neck.

Donna’s eyes widened in surprise, her heart warmed by the unexpected gesture. Was her daughter really giving her a gift? “Yelena, what’s this about?” Donna asked, her curiosity tinged with delight.
“Mom, this is a piece of special jade,” Yelena explained softly. “It’s not just beautiful—it’s great for your health. It helps with circulation and should ease some of those issues you’ve been dealing with.” Donna clasped the jade pendant in her hands, a sense of calm washing over her. It felt warm to the touch, like a gentle embrace.
“As long as it’s from you, sweetheart, I love it,” she said, her face glowing with happiness.
Nearby, Bella crossed her arms, her tone laced with skepticism. “Yelena, where’d you dig this up? You know, some stones these days are artificial and contain harmful substances. It might not be as healthy as you think p>
Yelena met Bella’s words with serene confidence. “No need to fret. This piece is exceptional—pure in color and naturally warm to the touch. It’s not just any jade p>
Callum, ever the connoisseur of rare finds, perked up at the mention of warmth. “Wait a minute! I heard there was a jade from a recent auction, the one said to have healing properties, and the hammer price was ridiculously high p>
“That’s the one. When I heard about it, I knew it was perfect for Mom. It should be a great help for her health,” Yelena nodded, her expression calm but proud.
