Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: Mr. Cheney’s Wife
Despite this, she still walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door stood a young woman—
Her curly hair rested on her shoulders, her makeup was understated, she was tall, wearing a caramel-colored sweater on top and a simple pair of jeans below.
In her hand was a fruit basket filled with an assortment of fruits.
Aunt May glanced at it briefly, furrowing her brows slightly, struggling to recall.
“Lana? Which Lana are you? Are you one of my patients?” Aunt May asked in confusion.
“It’s normal if Aunt May doesn’t remember me, I haven’t stayed in Landon for long. I’m Lana Fern, Yolanda’s younger sister.”
“Oh!” Aunt May suddenly understood.
She didn’t have a strong impression of Lana Fern, but her memory of Yolanda Fern was exceptionally vivid.
Although Aunt May hadn’t met Yolanda many times, the reason she remembered her was entirely due to that sensational tragedy in Landon.
The Cheney Family had concealed the fact that five-year-old Yolanda had been assaulted, but Aunt May knew.
Similarly, she knew that Qiana fell into depression because of that tragedy and Yolanda’s ordeal, leading to her prolonged illness, endless suffering, and eventual suicide by jumping into a river.
Aunt May, being a doctor, understood that if it hadn’t been torture beyond endurance, Qiana would never have chosen to take her own life.
Qiana had been such an optimistic and strong-willed girl…
Thinking back on it, Aunt May sighed with emotion.
“Come in and have a seat,” Aunt May greeted her.
She had very little connection with the Fern Family and wasn’t very familiar with Lana Fern.
“Thank you, Aunt May.” Lana didn’t stand on ceremony and entered the office, setting down the fruit basket. “Aunt May, I brought you some fruit. It’s not much, I hope you won’t mind.”
“Lana, how did you know I was here?”
“Aunt May’s reputation is so prominent, who doesn’t know about you? You’re practically the miracle doctor in our eyes.”
“You flatter me, you flatter me.” Aunt May gave Lana a few meaningful glances. Compared to the Jasmine Yale she had seen earlier, Lana Fern was a completely different type—one was bright and vivacious, the other gentle and serene.
“I think I just saw Mr. Cheney. It seemed like he was with his girlfriend, but they left in a hurry, and I didn’t get the chance to greet them,” Lana said with a laugh.
“Hmm, Sylvan was here to see me,” Aunt May corrected. “But that wasn’t Sylvan’s girlfriend; it was his wife.”
“His wife?” Lana’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. “Really, I wasn’t aware!”
“What work are you doing now, Lana?”
“Just some ordinary work, basically assisting people. I’ll be returning to Lonton in a few days.”
Aunt May had heard bits and pieces about the Fern Family, but since she didn’t have much interaction with them, she wasn’t overly concerned.
Aunt May poured Lana a cup of hot water: “It’s thoughtful of you to come by and remember me.”
“You’re an elder, so of course I’d remember. My mom used to often talk about you, saying you were a great beauty. I’ve always wanted to meet you, and it turns out hearing about you doesn’t compare to seeing you in person.”
“Your mother exaggerated; I’m old now.”
“Aunt May, you’ve kept up so well—you look just like someone in their thirties or forties, so youthful.” Lana praised with a cheerful smile. “Being able to come visit you and reminisce today feels like such an honor for me as a junior.”
“It’s my honor to have someone remember me.”
“I just saw Mr. Cheney’s wife earlier; she truly is very beautiful.” Lana commented with a smile, her diamond earrings swaying lightly as she spoke.
“She’s indeed beautiful, and her personality is lovely as well. She’s a perfect match for Sylvan.” Aunt May had nothing but praise for Jasmine Yale.
