when Karina opened her eyes again, the carriage had stopped outside the Hayman manor.
The businesswoman is a person who can afford to let go. After knowing about Zhang Heng and Annie, although she lost some time, she soon regained her spirits and devoted herself to the business on the island. In fact, the busyness during this period has diluted her regret.
But now they are together in a small space, which evokes her previous memories, but after a sleep, her spirit has recovered a lot.
Kalina stepped out of the carriage and moved her shoulders. Unlike Malcolm's Terrence manor, Carmen's Heiman manor covers a small area, about one tenth of the former. It doesn't grow any crops. Except for her residence, most of the places are gardens and lawns. This place is left by Carmen's late husband Smith, and the latter died one year after their marriage He died in a horse crash, and the estate is now owned by Carmen.
"What can I do for you?" A black man was mowing the lawn. He put down his scissors and came over.
"I heard that the master here is proficient in the medical skills of the guanahatabe people, so he came here to seek medical treatment." Zhang Heng also got out of the carriage.
"Yes, Mrs. Smith is really talented in this area. Her guanahatabe medical skills have even surpassed those of the guanahatabe people on the island." The black man said with a smile, "but if you want to see a doctor, you need to make an appointment in advance. We need to prepare herbs and corresponding treatment tools for you first, and meditate the night before."
"Yes, but we have come. At least let me try the effect first."
"This..." The black man was very embarrassed. "But you're not coming at the right time. In another half an hour, an appointed guest will come, so..."
Before he finished, he was interrupted by a female voice. "It's OK, drew. Let them in."
"As you wish." The black man got out of his way and made a gesture of please.
Zhang Heng and Karina followed him through a small flower bed and walked into the front door.
The black man turned and went to the kitchen to make tea. Five minutes later, the owner of the voice came down from the upstairs. Before, she stood in front of the window on the second floor. Zhang Heng just had a look. Now he finally had a chance to get in touch with the owner.
According to the information collected by Zhang Heng, Carmen's age should be about the same as Eugene's, and he's also in his forties, but it's hard to tell from his appearance.
I don't know how to maintain her skin, which makes her look like she is only about 30 years old. She exudes a unique charm of maturity and innocence. Zhang Heng can understand why Eugene is fascinated by her.
"Do you know who you just shut out, drew?"
"Excuse my ignorance, ma'am." The black man is in debt.
"Who is the most famous person on the island these days?"
"Mr. Malcolm, who formed the black business alliance, and Sam, the black prince, who became the king of Nassau pirates, I often hear people talk about their names But the most famous one is captain Zhang Heng of the Jackdaw The Negro obviously realized who was sitting in front of him. After all, Zhang Heng's oriental characteristics were still very obvious, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You can't get the most famous captain on the island, the new king of Nassau out of your house at any time. Drew, put off the appointment in the back and tell Mr. Buffon to change the treatment time to tomorrow night."
The black man nodded, turned back to serve the tea, and then walked out of the house.
"I hope my people have not offended you." Carmen put out his hand.
Zhang Heng didn't like the European hand kissing very much. It was a custom of the Vikings. Later, it spread to Europe and became popular in the upper class. It was mostly used to show respect for married women. Today, it is still popular among European royal families, but it can't cover up the fact that it is not hygienic. Especially considering the current background, people living in Nassau may not be able to wash their hands once a week The next bath, the hands of bacteria are definitely a lot.
Therefore, Zhang Heng just held out his hand and shook it politely.
Carmen's face flashed a look of embarrassment, but soon covered up the past. He turned to the businesswoman and said with a smile, "let me guess. Since captain Zhang Heng has arrived, you must be Annie. No, Miss Annie has enviable red hair. You are miss Kalina. Although you are not as famous as captain Zhang Heng, what you have done is now a household name, Especially among the women on the island, many people are talking about you and Miss Anne. You have proved that women can still have a place in this world dominated by men. "
"You think too much of me. I'm just a businessman who wants to make money." Said Karina.
After they were polite, they sat down again. Carmen said, "I didn't expect captain Zhang Heng to know me. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"There's one thing I need Mrs. Smith to do."
"It's my pleasure. I don't know what's wrong with Captain Zhang Heng?" Carmen took the cup in front of him and took a sip of the tea ceremony.
"I hear you and Mr. Eugene are very familiar, madam.""Sorry?"
"We have no malice towards Mr. Eugene. In fact, we know that he has been in a helpless situation all these years. We want to help him solve his problems, but only if you can help us first and tell us what the threat is."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a doctor, using the skills of nahatabe people to..."
"We know what your relationship with Eugene is." Karina interrupted Carmen, "Eugene always comes to you half night for treatment, and leaves the next morning. His wife is not on the island, and you have been widowed for so many years..."
"With all due respect, Miss Karina, you know nothing about widowhood." Carmen's tone changed, not as polite as before. "If you're here for this, I'm sorry. We can only stop talking. Drew, the guest is leaving."
The black man Wenyan came in from the outside, but Zhang Heng and Karina did not get up. "I heard that after your husband passed away, you and your husband's family were not very happy. They wanted to take back his property on the island, especially this manor. Maybe we can help them."
Carmen's eyes jumped, but finally said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I can't help you if I want to. Believe it or not, Mr. Eugene is just a patient of mine. If you come to see a doctor, I'm welcome, but I can't do anything else."
