79 Steal Something From the Yarwoods
It was 6:00 pm-the rush hour for getting off work.
Cars were going back and forth on the road. There was no traffic in Waterview Alley, but there were a
lot of people gossiping.
“Did you hear that?”
“What’s it?”
“The doctor from the opposite hospital was arrested!*
“It’s the Gibsons who came to cause trouble last time!”
Susan just came back from shopping for groceries. “I think they came to bully Mrs. Yates Senior on
purpose last time!”
“I think so! It’s said in the news that the Gibsons are bad! Many patients have suffered from
them!”
“She also suppresses her colleagues. Mrs. Yates Senior must also have suffered!”
Susan looked over. “Now you know! But you’ve said something you shouldn’t have in front
of Wynter!”
“Mrs. Yates Senior has lived with us for so long and nothing has ever happened here.”
“I had a stomachache before and couldn’t afford the medicine from hospitals. But Mrs. Yates Senior
made me some soup and added something else-I don’t know what it is. I only needed to pay 50 dollars
to cure it!”
While they were discussing, Wynter returned with a wooden box and smiled slightly. “Aunt Susan, what
are you talking about?”
“Oh, Wynter, you scared me!” Susan said enthusiastically, “We’re talking about your grandma! Her
medicine can cure our illnesses!”
She smiled. “Did my grandma prescribe medicine for you?”
“It’s diet therapy,” Susan said, “I know your grandma’s rules-to only maintain our health
and not cure diseases.
Wynter put down the wooden box. “Why are you all gathered here?”
Wynter put down the wooden box. “Why are you all gathered here?”
“They want to apologize to your grandma!” Susan glanced at the neighbors. “But
they’re too embarrassed to enter.”
She smiled slightly. “We’re open for business, so you
can all come in as you please.”
“That’s great! I want to ask your grandma to massage my neck!” someone said, “I haven’t been here for
the past few days and it feels swollen and painful!”
Wynter responded to them while opening the door. Wolf, who was squatting in the inner courtyard to
light the fire, immediately stood up and ran over fiercely.
Sensing that she had looked at him, he stopped abruptly and raised his hands. His eyes widened, as if
he was asking what had happened.
“Wolf!” Susan stroked his head. “Where is your grandma? We’re here to have a
massage!”
Wolf hated it when others stroked his head, but he resisted the urge to hit her and
pointed to the back aggressively.
She went inside happily, not knowing that if Wynter hadn’t been there, Wolf might
have knocked her over!
A group of neighbors were talking in the backyard. Even if they didn’t ask for a massage, at least the
shop had returned to its usual bustle.
Wynter was responsible for coaxing Wolf. Otherwise, he would have to dig a hole in the floor while
carrying the bucket in his current state.
“I brought you your favorite.”
She opened the black bag and gave him the gifts from the Yarwoods.
When Wolf saw his favorite truffles and cordyceps, his eyes widened. Then, he gestured with a smile.
“Well, the Yarwoods are very generous.” Wynter looked at him and said slowly, “No,
you can’t steal them.”
He tilted his head and squinted his eyes, as if asking “why not?”.
She also gave him the wooden box. “Mr. Yarwood is a bit dangerous.”
He gestured and asked if he was more dangerous than her.
She answered casually, “You can’t compare me to him.”
He looked at the truffle, but his intentions remained unchanged.
Seeing his expression, she raised her eyebrows. “Wolf, I taught you to obey the rules when you first
came. What did I say?”
Wolf opened his m*uth and showed his sharp teeth. He gestured-No stealing, no robbing.
Wynter nodded. “You can’t steal or rob, let alone eat randomly.”
Just as he was about to nod to show his obedience, she suddenly pinched his face.
She checked on him, and her expression darkened. “Why are your teeth growing so
fast?
