The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2304

'However, Mom is already making such an absolute statement now. Based on my knowledge and understanding of her, although Mom is usually a very gentle and easy-going person, as soon as she makes u p her mind and decides on something, there is basically no room for mediation at all...'

'So, if I were to insist on looking for my benefactor at this time, my mother will certainly send me to the United States just as she said she would...'

'At that time, if I am in the United States, I will be thousands of miles away from Oskia. It will be even more impossible for me to find my benefactor, then...' 2

'So, I can only lie to my mother first so that she will feel comforted... before I secretly continue looking for him...'

Helen did not know the thoughts that were going on in her daughter's mind at this time. Therefore, she felt relieved as soon as she heard that Sophie was willing to give up searching for her benefactor. So, Helen looked at Jaime before she said in a serious tone, "Jaime, your middle name is Adel because it means that you are a righteous person who can differentiate between right and wrong. Your sister's life is at stake in this matter. As I have already

explained clearly just now, for the sake of Sophie's life, you have to keep in mind that you should not be helping her to continue looking for this person in secret anymore. Do you understand me?"

As soon as Jaime heard this, he immediately said," Mom, don't worry. I am the kind of person who has always been in awe of our Oskian traditional cultures. Since Old Master Dennard has already said so, I will not help Sophie anymore!"

Jaime was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Some young people would blindly criticize their own traditional cultures after accepting the impact of the Western culture. 1

Amongst them, the younger generation would attack and criticize traditional medication the most.

When Jaime had been an angry youth with nationalistic tendencies, he had also been somewhat biased toward traditional medication. This was because he felt that traditional medication lacked a scientific basis and clinical experimentations.

However, when he was nineteen years old, he had suffered from a low-grade fever that had lasted for more than a month. He had done all the tests that he could possibly do in the hospital, and he had basically tried every type of antibiotic, but there was no effect a tall. 5

After that, he had finally accompanied his family to visit a famous traditional doctor out of desperation.

After the traditional doctor had diagnosed him, he said that his body had been invaded by damp evil. The traditional doctor had then performed acupuncture for him on the spot before decocting a medicine for him. After taking the medicine, Jaime had recovered in an instant, i

Ever since that day, Jaime finally understood that there must be truth behind every existence.

Since traditional medication had already been developed alongside civilization for five thousand years, how could a young kid like him possibly deny the wisdom behind it?

Therefore, Jaime had become even more in awe of their traditional culture ever since that day.

The same went for divination and fortune-telling. 2

Sophie felt even more depressed when she heard this.

She knew that if she were to lose her brother's help, she would absolutely lose all the help that she had, then. Would she even have the chance to find her benefactor in this case?

Ever since she had been rescued in Japan, Sophie would think of Charlie countless times a day. She would think of all the details of her rescue.

It could be said that Charlie had already been deeply rooted within her now. 4

So, even if she would end up like a moth that was attracted to the flames, deep down in her heart, she

did not want to stop searching for him.

At this time, Helen looked at Sophie before she said in a stern and irrefutable tone, "Sophie, I want to continue staying in Aurous Hill for a while. You can stay in Aurous Hill to accompany me during this time, then. You don't need to go anywhere else!"
