Consequently, Audrey preferred to refer to him as ‘Uncle Jimenez’ because of his loyalty to her mother.
His name was Uncle Jimenez, and her sister also called him ‘Uncle Jimenez’.

Only her sisters addressed him as ‘Uncle Jimenez’, and he would always respond with a smile.
In Audrey’s hazy recollections, her parents and uncle were often preoccupied, and her mother’s health was poor, leading her to frequently ask her second aunt for assistance.
She reflected on her circumstances; her mother’s declining health often meant relying on her second aunt to help manage the family and company affairs, which intensified her ambition to take charge.
Her second aunt likely felt that despite her considerable contributions, everyone still revered her mother, which fueled her desire for recognition. She believed that only by becoming the head of the family would everyone fully turn to her.
“Why—”
Audrey called him ‘Uncle Jimenez’, and the elderly assistant sighed with tears in her eyes.
Though they did not share a strong bond, Audrey cared for him well. She resembled both her mother and father. When Uncle Jimenez looked at her, he seemed to see the head of the family and her husband.
With the repeated confirmations from her apprentice, along with affirmations from Lilian, Sariyah, and others, the elderly assistant was already aware that Audrey was the eldest daughter of the former matriarch, Miss Audrey Farrell.
Miss Harlow Farrell tragically passed away in a car accident over a decade ago. Luckily, she left behind two children, and Miss Audrey Farrell also had children and grandchildren. The former matriarch finally has a legacy.
The elderly assistant…
He was so excited that he held Audrey’s hand tightly. He attempted to speak several times but found himself speechless, as if his throat were blocked. Only the old tears continued to flow.
Perhaps due to his overwhelming excitement, along with his age and poor health, the elderly assistant’s vision darkened, and he fainted.
“Uncle Jimenez!” Audrey exclaimed, supporting the old assistant’s limp body. She turned pale with fear and shouted urgently, “Clive, call an ambulance right away!”
“There’s no need for a hospital. My brother is just overly excited, and his emotions are fluctuating. He is the eldest among us, so it’s not unusual for him to be overwhelmed with joy or sadness,” the miraculous doctor explained.
After checking the old assistant’s pulse on the floor, he signaled to Audrey and the others to help the old man lie down on the sofa. He gently pinched the old assistant’s arm, and after some time, the old man slowly regained consciousness.
Elisa poured a glass of warm water. Audrey took the glass from her daughter’s hands and carefully offered it to the old assistant.
After a few sips of warm water, the old assistant began to sit up.
Audrey quickly intervened. “Uncle Jimenez, if you’re feeling unwell, please lie down and don’t try to sit up.”
“Uncle Jimenez, I never imagined we would meet again. You need to take care of your health. We all need to manage our emotions. Please don’t get too excited; your health is what matters most,” she urged, tears in her eyes.
Audrey successfully persuaded the old assistant, understanding his excitement. She knew he had much to say to her, but even if they met again decades later, she couldn’t find the words now.
It was better to comfort Uncle Jimenez first and allow him to calm down before they spoke at length.
Uncle Jimenez nodded gently and held Audrey’s hand tightly.
Audrey gently patted the back of his hand and said warmly, “Uncle Jimenez, I won’t leave; please don’t worry.”
The old miracle doctor added, “Brother, if you don’t manage your emotions, and if a situation like last year occurs again, no matter how hard I try to learn throughout my life, I won’t be able to bring you back from Yama.”
Although everyone referred to him as a miracle doctor, he was not a deity. He was just an ordinary man, an aging one at that, without the power to reach the heavens.
If it weren’t for the exceptional medical skills of the master and apprentice, along with their cultivation of rare medicinal materials, Uncle Jimenez would surely not be alive today.
Uncle Jimenez had narrowly escaped death when they rescued him back then.
