Chapter 1258 A Good Turn
Jesslyn was stunned. She never thought she would lose her job over such a trivial matter.
She believed that her years of experience should grant her a higher status in this household.
In her eyes, Wynter was merely an assistant with a fancy title.
Chester hadn’t even arrived yet, and she was just here to oversee things. How could Reuben fire Jesslyn because of this girl? She couldn’t accept it.
As the bodyguards dragged her away, Jesslyn continued to yell. Her eyes were filled with venom as she glared at Wynter.
Wynter paid no attention to her. After carefully disinfecting the silver needles, she inserted them into Reuben’s LU11 and LI1
acupoints.
“These acupoints help alleviate coughing. Have the butler prepare honey lemon tea for you twice a day to soothe your throat and reduce coughing,” Wynter advised while performing the
acupuncture.
The acupuncture’s effects were immediate, although it would take more than a few needles to cure Reuben completely.
Nonetheless, he already felt a sense of unprecedented relief, as if a -heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
His abdomen felt warm and comfortable. This was not only due to the acupuncture but also Wynter’s massage technique.
Whatever the illness was, it was essential to first regulate the spleen and stomach, as their imbalance could cause numerous

health issues.
“Grandpa Reuben, I noticed a floral scent in your room. The roses outside your window could use some trimming.
“With your respiratory issues, you should remove the carpets and keep the right–side door open frequently,” Wynter continued.
Besides addressing the medical issues, Wynter also used this chance to examine the Whitman residence’s geomancy.
While there were no major problems in Reuben’s room, she sensed something amiss further inside the house. However, given her current status and the presence of Easton, she refrained from investigating further.
Wynter was certain that Jesslyn wouldn’t let this matter rest. She would likely complain to Noah and Taylor, who might come over.
Wynter lowered her gaze and glanced at the time before deciding it was best to leave now. She needed to subtly warn Noah and Taylor, as there were probably more spies like Jesslyn.
Wynter suspected that the misunderstandings between Marie and the Whitmans over the years were partly orchestrated by others.
Confronting both her uncles now wouldn’t be wise. Besides, she already had a trump card with Reuben on her side.
With that in mind, Wynter removed the needles one by one and handed a note to Reuben.
“Grandpa Reuben, I trust no one else with this. You should
investigate the Whitman residence, including the food you
consume,” Wynter whispered, ensuring only the two of them could hear.
Despite not having formally acknowledged each other as

grandfather and granddaughter, there was a deep mutual understanding between them.
Easton Lockwood, the butler, was craning his neck to see what was happening.
Reuben coughed at the right moment. “I’ll take my medicine on time. Don’t worry.”
“That’s good.” Wynter stood up straight and shouldered her black bag. “Grandpa Reuben, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll come back the day after tomorrow to visit you.”
Upon hearing this, Reuben quickly suggested, “It’s getting late. Stay for dinner. It won’t take too much of your time.”
need to go back and prepare your medicine. Some of the herbal medicines aren’t available here in Hawford and need to be brought over,” Wynter explained.
What Wynter said was true. Most of the herbal medicines were kept at Empathy Clinic. It had been convenient when they were in Kingbourne, but now they needed to be brought over here.
Reuben felt a tinge of disappointment. He had hoped to chat more with Wynter, his life savior, and also wanted Noah and Taylor to meet who he had praised as a heroine before.
