Chapter 311 The Apprentice
While Cierra was still in a daze, Dr. Charles continued to explain.
“The main reason why I came to Los Angeles with Freddy this time was to have a meal of your cooking, and the other reason was to cure your mother. When I was in New York, it wasn’t that I was unwilling, I just wanted to stall for time and hope that you could cook a few more meals for me. I didn’t expect that you would leave directly, Let me reflect on myself.”
Hearing this, Cierra was even more surprised.
She was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. For a moment, she felt speechless and amused.
It turned out that Dr. Charles had been refusing to help her just for the sake of meals.
This…
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “If you are willing to treat my mother, not to mention a few meals, I’m willing to and promise to cook you every meal.”
Dr. Charles laughed and said, “If you say so, then I will live in your house!”
Cierra also laughed, “Of course, you can stay as long as you want.”
“You old bastard, you’re pushing your luck, aren’t you? I haven’t stayed at Cierra’s house for a long time. How dare you?”
Freddy finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He slapped Dr. Charles on the shoulder and said, “I’m
warning you, don’t go too far.
“Bah!”
Dr. Charles slapped Freddy’s palm and spat, “How am I going too far? Did I not ask for her opinion, or was I unwilling to take her mother’s pulse? I just wanted to have a meal. How am I going too far?”
“You’ve gone too far!”
“How have I gone too far?”
They started quarreling.
When Cierra saw the two old men quarreling again, she couldn’t help but smile.
She pretended to be serious and interrupted them. “Well, Freddy, don’t you want to go back to New York? Let me see you off.”
Dr. Charles chimed in, “Then I’ll go back with Mrs. Barton first. I won’t see you off. Remember to send a message when you arrive!”
Freddy was annoyed with Dr. Charles’s words.

Then, Freddy wasn’t in a hurry to leave right away. He put away his suitcase and puffed up his beard angrily as he grunted. “You’re in such a hurry to drive me away, right? I just won’t leave, humph!”
It was true that having an elder at home was like having a kid.
As soon as Freddy finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter.
Even Sarah, who had always had a gentle expression, could not help but laugh out loud. However,
due to her physical condition, she did not dare to use too much strength.
With Mrs. Taylor holding her, Sarah raised her hand to cover her heart and shook her head.
“Ouch, don’t make me laugh again. I can’t cry or laugh. I’ve only laughed a little, but I feel the suppression in the chest.”
“Mom, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll send your
to the hospital.”
Cierra did not dare to be careless anymore. She immediately looked over with a serious expression and looked at Sarah worriedly.
Sarah waved her hand and looked at her daughter tenderly. “I’m fine. I’m not that fragile. I just laughed too hard just now and felt a little tired.”
Looking at the worried eyes of the two old men, she felt guilty.
“Sorry to have made you worry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. You are a patient. It should be us to apologize.”
Freddy said with a serious expression.
Dr. Charles stopped joking and said seriously, “I saw that you looked good before, so I didn’t take the initiative to talk to you about the treatment. It seems that it’s necessary for you to have a good treatment today.”
Sarah’s emotions had already returned to normal. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Cierra also looked at Dr. Charles expectantly. “Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Charles.”
Of course, she knew that her mother’s illness was slowly recovering. She learned from her brothers that her mother was much better than she was two years ago.
Even after returning to Los Angeles, she couldn’t tell that her mother was sick from her daily activities.
Every day, her mother got up early and went to bed early. She took a walk in the garden, took care of children, and occasionally helped Mrs. Taylor in the kitchen.

Apart from the gentle smile on her face that didn’t show her true emotion, no one could tell that she was in poor health.
It was at this moment that Cierra could feel the change in Sarah’s face. Although there was still a
smile on her face, it could be seen that she was in bad condition.
If it weren’t for this reason, Cierra wouldn’t have spent so much effort to invite Dr. Charles.
A living person could not cry or laugh. She could only maintain a calm mood every day.
What was the difference between living like this and a walking corpse?
As such, if possible, Cierra hoped that her mother would be able to return to normal.
She hoped her mother could cry when she got angry and laugh wildly when she was happy…
And not like she was now.
Dr. Charles’s expression turned serious as well. “No trouble at all. Since I’ve promised, I’ll treat your mother. Besides, the meal you cook is the best payment.”
Cierra curved her lips and gave a smile. “I still have to thank you.”
It was he who gave them hope.
The only thing she could do was to cook a few meals, which were not as noble as their medical
treatment and saving lives.
Of course, she didn’t make fun of him this time.
“Freddy, let’s go back for lunch first. Even if you want to go back to New York,
you have to eat before you leave.”
Hearing that, Freddy was reluctant to leave.
He had chosen this time because he knew that Cierra would be busy for the next few days. He wanted to avoid her and leave by himself.
He was afraid he would be reluctant to part with her.
He didn’t have thought that they would run into each other.
He coughed softly and said with some embarrassment, “But I’ve already booked a ticket…”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not rush hour yet. Just cancel it and buy another one. It’s more important to have a good meal first.”
Cierra took the opportunity to pick up his suitcase and walked forward. Freddy didn’t react in time. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Sarah also nodded. “That’s right, Freddy. Since Cici has said so, let’s just have a meal before leaving. There’s nothing urgent. You are not in a hurry”
Dr. Charles echoed, “After we return to L’Opera Restaurant, you will never be able to eat Cierra’s dishes again.”
It could be said that he was vicious!
Freddy immediately caught up with him. “You only know how to eat, don’t you? Cierra and I have
the same master. Everything she learns belongs to my family.”
“Yeah, it’s the same dish, but the one made by Cierra is more delicious. Why?”
“Old bastard, don’t go too far!”
As they walked, the two old men began to argue loudly again.
Cierra turned around and couldn’t help shaking her head in laughter.
The dishes were quickly placed on the table. Freddy didn’t sit with Dr. Charles as usual but especially chose a seat far away from Dr. Charles.
Dr. Charles didn’t think much of it and ran to Cierra’s side to sit down.
Anyway, there were not many people at lunch. The Barton family brothers were all working outside, and there were only a few women.
He leaned over to Cierra and said in a clear voice, “Cierra, I have something to discuss with you.”
Cierra was surprised, “Dr. Charles, you don’t need to be so polite.”
Dr. Charles didn’t stand on ceremony and went straight to the point. “It’s not a big deal. I just want to say that with my ability, are you willing to be my disciple and learn as much as you can? Even if I’m gone in the future, you can still take care of your mother.”
As soon as Dr. Charles finished speaking, Freddy flew into a rage before Cierra answered.
“Old man, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
