The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

“Ah, this… this won’t do, it’s too expensive.”

Clara Adams fumbled and handed the jade plate back.

Greg Jensen laughed, “Just take it if it’s for you, it’s not like it cost much anyway.”

Clara Adams couldn’t quite believe it, “Really… you’re giving it to me?”

“Yeah, don’t you like it?” Greg Jensen asked with a smile.

“I love it, I really do.”

Clara Adams nodded hurriedly, looking down with some hesitation, “But… this jade plate costs more than ten thousand, it’s really expensive.”

“It’s alright, just take it.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jensen.”

When Clara Adams looked up, she found Greg Jensen gazing at her, and her cheeks instantly flushed red, radiant like the evening sunset when touched by the sunlight.

“Alright, let’s settle the bill, I’ll be heading back now.”

“Alt, okay.”

Five plates and twenty-four beads with a diameter of one centimeter, all of decent quality, met the requirements for making amulets and totaled fifty thousand.

Clara Adams took a bag and put all the jade stones together, adding a few chains and elastic cords, then gently passed it to Greg Jensen.

“Mr. Jensen, take care, and you’re welcome to visit us again.”

“Haha, sure.”

Greg Jensen smiled and left the Jade Shop.

Clara Adams stood at the door, watching Greg Jensen walk away until his figure disappeared before she returned to the store.

She looked down at the jade plate in her hand and smiled radiantly, weaving a green cord and threading the plate onto it, then wearing it around her neck.

” Why would Mr. Jensen give me a gift? Could it be that he likes me?”

Clara Adams’s face turned slightly red, as she recalled the image of Greg Jensen standing in front of her.

It was as if his strong figure, like a mountain, shielded her from all the storms.

That indescribable sense of safety unwittingly made her give away her heart.

Unable to resist, Clara Adams pulled out her phone, opened the photo album, and her watery eyes instantly curled into crescents.

The photo displayed Greg Jensen’s profile with the sunlight perfectly casting a golden outline on his face.

At that time, Clara Adams was just fetching something from the bar, and finding the scene beautiful, she had secretly taken the picture.

“Mr. Jensen looks so handsome.”

Clara Adams’s gaze was a bit mesmerized, followed by a touch of sadness.

She knew that a man like Greg Jensen might not be interested in her, but the thought that he had actually given her a gift today warmed her cooling heart once again.

After Greg Jensen got home, he continued working on making amulets.

Each time he made one, the True Qi inside his body would be depleted, but after running the Guidance Technique for a few cycles, the True Qi would replenish and even increase a bit.

After being busy for most of the day, he finally finished making several amulets —a total of four plates and one bracelet, with eight beads remaining.

Greg Jensen took the left-over beads into the community area.

He casually picked up a stone and smashed it hard against one of the beads.

Bang!

A fleeting glimmer was barely noticeable on the bead, while the stone got bounced to the side.

Greg Jensen picked one up and found the bead intact.

He thought for a moment, then picked up the stone again and smashed it against the bead.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, the bead split in half.

“It seems one bead can withstand one heavy blow, not bad; just not sure how many times the jade plates could withstand.”

Greg Jensen was about to test the jade plates but then thought better of it—the plates were limited; one each for Lois Abbott and her sisters, one left for Lindsey Wolfe, and the last for Norman Holmes.

Although in Riverhaven County, no one could threaten Norman Holmes anymore, with his identity considered, it was always good to be prepared for the unexpected—an extra layer of protection was always beneficial.

As for the bracelet, he planned to leave it for Chester Ware.

Without Chestor Ware’s help, Greg Jensen would not have been able to earn a fortune of several million in such a short time.

Moreover, Chestor Ware was still helping him manage Kenny Walker’s assets; the two of them needed to continue their partnership in the medicinal herb business.

The bracelet could withstand sixteen attacks—it was just right for Chestor Ware.

Just as he was thinking, there was noise from outside; Lois Abbott and her sister must have returned.

Greg Jensen picked up the two jade plates and walked out.

“Brother, I’m back, did you miss me?”

“Really, flirting with my boyfriend right in front of me?”

Greg Jensen chuckled and handed over the jade plates, saying, “These are for you, one each. Carry them with you at all times and don’t take them off even when you’re showering.”

“Uh, what is this?”

Lois Abbott took the jade plate and examined it, finding inscriptions she could not understand.

Her sister, however, revealed an overly exaggerated expression of delight, exclaiming, “Wow, did brother carve this by hand?”

“Yes, I carved it especially for you, do you like it?”

“Minn, I love it, brother is the best.”

Her sister nodded vigorously, about to go over and ask for a hug, but stopped with grievances seeing the nearly ravenous look in her elder sister’s eyes.

Greg Jensen laughed and said, “These are for safety, you two wear them.”

“Thank you.”

Lois Abbott walked over to Greg Jensen, somewhat provocatively, kissed him on the cheek, and then hung the jade plate around her neck.

Her sister, looking dejected, gazed down at the jade plate in her hands, then broke into a happy smile, humphed, and hung the jade plate around her own neck as well.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

“Yeah, I’m going to wash my hands, bring the dishes to the dining room first.”

Lois Abbott brought back several dishes today, all of which Greg Jensen loved to eat, and he was already hungry from crafting amulets all afternoon.

Without waiting for Lois Abbott to return, he began to eat first.

As he was eating, Chestor Ware called.

Kenny Walker’s case, after more than half a month of court hearings, was finally sentenced this afternoon.

Concurrent sentences, death penalty!

Although the people of Riverhaven County had heard early on that Kenny Walker was arrested, they took it as mere rumor, unsure of its truth.

Only when the news of Kenny Walker’s death sentence spread did the people finally confirm that the local tyrant of Riverhaven County, Kenny Walker, was truly finished.

Instantly, the entire Riverhaven County was in an uproar.

“Kenny Walker was sentenced to death?”

“Good riddance!”

“Yeah, Mr. Jensen is a good man, he rid our Riverhaven County of a menace.”

The common folk, while shocked, couldn’t help but rejoice and again started to inquire about “Mr. Jensen’s” identity.

However, those who knew Greg Jensen’s identity remained tight-lipped—no matter how much people inquired, they couldn’t learn a thing.

To their amazement, they discovered that this Mr. Jensen, except for his appearance during the Kenny Walker incident, seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if he never existed.

At this moment, Greg Jensen couldn’t help feeling somewhat helpless.

He really hadn’t expected that by simply dealing with Kenny Walker, he would become a celebrity in Riverhaven County.

It was fortunate that people didn’t know his true identity, or else who knows what trouble might have ensued.

Chestor Ware laughed, “Don’t worry, they’re just curious for now. They’ll forget about it after a while.”

“I hope so,” Greg Jensen said with a wry smile.

Chestor Ware chuckled and continued, “Come over again tomorrow. Let’s get together with the others, and I’ll give you the check.”

Greg Jensen was startled and said with delight, “The money has been transferred?”
