Chapter 30
Old Mr. Lancaster grimaced, his face pale with pain, but his eyes were shining.
Within those pain-twisted pupils, a wild, ecstatic joy was spreading.
He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, feeling the long-lost sensation of pain in his leg. His voice was hoarse with emotion. “Pain… Hahaha, the pain is good! It’s good! Serena, don’t worry, I can take it! I can take it p>
“Feeling pain means the neural and sensory pathways aren’t completely severed. This is better than expected,” Serena said, releasing her hand from his leg.
“Hah p>
The intense pain slowly subsided.
Old Mr. Lancaster slumped back in his wheelchair, his trembling hands gradually relaxing as he gasped for air.
His face held the ecstatic relief of someone who had survived an ordeal. He stared intently at his legs. The very spot where Serena had pressed-on the legs that countless famous doctors and experts had declared a lost cause was now twitching in a way that was invisible to the eye but that he could clearly feel.
Once, then again.
Faint, but undeniably real.
“Ha… hahaha… HAHAHAHA p>
Old Mr. Lancaster broke into almost maniacal laughter, his chest heaving. His eyes were bloodshot.
He laughed as he looked at Serena, his eyes full of light, excitement, and renewed hope. “Serena, can it really… can it really be healed p>
“Yes.” A hint of a smile touched Serena’s calm features, warmed by her family’s excitement. It added a bewitching charm to her already stunning face.
“As long as you can endure the initial pain, stick with the treatment, and cooperate with acupuncture and medicated soaks p>
Her lips curved, and her voice was calm yet powerful. “I expect that in about two weeks, you’ll be able to try standing with assistance p>
“Two weeks p>
“Standing up p>
The immense joy struck them like a physical blow.
Serena’s parents threw their arms around her, their voices choked with emotion. “Serena, thank you… thank you! We don’t know how to thank you! Grandpa’s legs… we’re leaving them in your hands p>
Serena smiled slightly and shook her head. “We’re family. It’s what I should do p>
The dinner concluded amidst this overwhelming surprise.
Everyone’s attention was now focused entirely on Serena.
Isabella bit her lower lip, her stomach churning with envy. But after her grandfather’s warning, she didn’t dare say another word.
How could a country bumpkin like Serena possibly heal legs that so many top international experts had given up on?
Two weeks? Standing up?
She would just wait and watch Serena make a fool of herself!
Once they realized that the granddaughter they had so desperately searched for was nothing but a low-class fraud, they would surely understand who was truly fit to be the daughter of the Lancaster family!
“Serena, are you full? Come, Mom will show you your room p>
The more Catherine looked at her precious daughter, the more she adored her.
She took Serena’s hand and led her towards the second floor, her voice full of excitement. “I decorated your room myself. Come and see if you like it p>
Catherine led her to a room with excellent lighting.
The door was white and ornately carved. Pushing it open revealed an extremely spacious room filled with soft light.
The color scheme of the space made Serena pause for a few seconds.
It was a sea of pink and white. Pink and white lace hung everywhere, and even the
bed was draped with a pink princess-style canopy. The room was filled with all kinds of fluffy stuffed animals.
Serena was speechless.
She could almost see pink bubbles floating in the air.
It was clear that a lot of care had gone into the decor.
It was the ultimate dreamy, girly style—the fantasy of countless young girls.
“What’s wrong? Serena, you don’t like it?” Catherine asked, her voice a mix of anxiety and anticipation when Serena remained silent. “I thought… all young girls liked these things p>
Catherine’s face immediately broke into a smile. She happily led Serena into the room. “Good, I’m glad you like it! Serena, come and see. This is the walk-in closet. Your father and I did some research and these are all clothes and accessories in styles that are popular with young women. See what you think p>
On one side of the bedroom, Catherine opened a hidden door.
Inside was what looked like a luxury brand’s boutique.
Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry—it had everything.
Serena’s eyes flickered. “Are these YB designs p>
“You like YB too?” Catherine was thrilled. “Yes, these are all from YB’s latest season p>
Five years ago, the designer Cloud of YB won first place in a highly prestigious international design competition. She rejected a series offers from top international luxury brands and returned to their home country to found YB.
All of YB’s designs were created personally by Cloud.
With a world-class award and a unique design style that looked stunning on, YB
became an instant sensation, taking the entire fashion world by storm.
Although YB had only one designer and released new collections very slowly, that didn’t stop socialites and wealthy women from clamoring for their pieces, practically begging them to release new items.
In five years, YB had already become a top global brand.
Its rarity made it valuable, yet this closet was filled with YB’s designs p>
It was a testament to the Lancaster family’s influence!
Serena looked at the familiar logo on the clothes in the closet and nodded slowly.
“Yes, I like them p>
Of course she did.
These were, after all, her own designs-the works she was most proud of.
