48 Hours a Day

By the time Karina opened her eyes again, the carriage was parked outside the Heyman Estate.

The businesswoman was a man who could afford to let go. After learning about Zhang Heng and Annie, she was lost for a while, but soon regained her energy and invested her energy in the island's business. In fact, the busy period had diluted her regrets.

It's just that the two of them are now living in a tiny space that brings back memories of her past, but after sleeping, her spirit has recovered a lot.

Unlike Malcolm's Terrence Estate, where Karina stepped off the carriage and moved her shoulder, Carmen's Heyman Estate, which covers only about a tenth of the area, did not grow any crops, except for her residence, which was left behind by Carmen's late husband Smith, who died after an accident a year of marriage, so the estate now belongs to Carmen.

“What can I do for you two?” A black man was mowing the lawn, and he put down his scissors and walked over.

“I've heard that the owners here are well versed in Guanahatabe medicine, so I came to see a doctor.” Zhang Heng also got off the carriage.

“Yes, Mrs. Smith is indeed very talented in this regard, and her Guanahatabe medicine has even surpassed the Guanahatta people on the island.” The nigger smiled, "but if you want to seek medical attention, you need to schedule an appointment, and we need to prepare herbs and corresponding treatment tools for you first, and meditate the night before. ”

“Yeah, but we're here, at least let me try it first. ”

“This...” The black man looks very difficult, “but it's not a good time for you to come. In half an hour, an appointment guest will come over, so...”

His words were interrupted by a female voice, "It's okay, Drew, let them in. ”

“As you wish.” Negroes get out of the way and make a gesture.

Zhang Heng and Karina followed him through a small garden and walked into the front door.

The black man turned around to make tea in the kitchen, and after another five minutes, the owner of the sound came down from upstairs, before she stood in front of the window on the second floor. Zhang Heng just took a quick look, and now finally had the opportunity to come close to the right owner.

According to the information collected by Zhang Heng, Carmen should be about the same age as Eugene and in her 40s, but it is hard to tell from the outside.

Don't know how to care for her skin, make her look like she was only about thirty years old, the whole person has a unique rhyme of maturity and naivety, Zhang Hengdi can understand why Eugene is obsessed with her.

“Drew, do you know who you just turned down? ”

“Forgive my ignorance, ma'am.” Negroes owe themselves.

“Who's the most famous person on the island these days? ”

“Mr. Malcolm, who formed the Black Business Coalition, became Sam, the black prince of the king of pirates in Nassau, and I often hear people talking about their names… but most famously these days, Captain Cheung Heng of the Cold Raven.” When the black man said this, he obviously realized who was sitting in front of him. After all, Zhang Hengdong's identity was obvious, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

“At no time can you throw the most prestigious captain on the island, the new king of Nassau, out of his house, Drew, throw off the date behind you and tell Mr. Buffon to reschedule his treatment tomorrow night. ”

The black man nodded and returned to serve tea before walking out of the house.

“I hope my people haven't offended you.” Carmen, reach out your hand.

Zhang Heng has not always liked the European kissing ceremony, which was a custom of the Vikings and later passed on to Europe. It was popular in the uppermost society. It was used to show respect for married women. It was still popular in the royal family in Europe until the modern era, but it could not hide the fact that it was not hygienic. Especially given the context of today's times, people living in Nassau were not necessarily able to take a bath once a week, and there were definitely many bacteria on their hands.

Hence, Zhang Heng just reached out and graciously shook each other.

Carmen's face flashed an embarrassing color, but soon covered up the past, turning to smile at the businesswoman, “Let me guess, since Captain Zhang Heng arrived, you must be Annie, no, Miss Annie has an enviable red hair, you are Miss Karina, what you did is not famous for Captain Zhang Heng, but it is now also familiar, especially among the women on the island, many people are discussing you and Miss Annie, you have proven that women still have a place in this man-dominated world. ”

“You rated me too high, I'm just a businessman trying to make money.” Karina said.

Three passengers sat down again, Carmen Road, "I didn't know Captain Zhang Heng knew me. Is there anything I can do to help you? ”

“There is one thing that really needs Mrs. Smith's help. ”

“It would be my pleasure not to know what is wrong with Captain Zhang Heng?” Carmen picked up the cup in front of her and drank a sip of tea ceremony.

“I hear you and Mr. Eugene are familiar. ”

“Sorry?”

“We have no ill will towards Mr. Eugene, and in fact we know that he has been in a somewhat helpless situation for years, and we would like to help him solve his problems, provided you help us first and tell us exactly what is threatening him. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a doctor, using Nahatabe's medicine...”

“We know what your relationship is with Eugene.” Karina interrupted Carmen, “Eugene came to you every time for half the night, and only left the next morning. His wife was not on the island, and you were widowed for so many years...”

“With all due respect, Miss Karina, you don't know anything about widowhood.” Carmen's tone has changed, and he's no longer as polite as before, "and if you're here for this, I'm sorry, but that's all we have to talk about, Drew, and the guests are leaving. ”

The black man came in from outside the house, but Zhang Heng and Karina didn't get up, "I heard you and your husband's family were a little unhappy after your husband died, and they wanted to take back his property on the island, especially this estate, and we might be able to help. ”

Carmen's eyes jumped, but eventually he said, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I can't help you. Believe it or not, Mr. Eugene is just one of my patients. If you're here to see a doctor, I'm welcome, but there's nothing else I can do. ”
