Chapter 241 Carmen

When Karina opened her eyes again, the carriage had stopped outside the Hayman Manor.

The businesswoman is a person who can take things up a notch. Although she was lost for a while after learning about Zhang Heng and Annie, she quickly picked herself up again and devoted her energy to the business on the island. In fact, The busyness during this period has diluted the regret in her heart.

But now that the two of them were in a small space together, it reminded her of her previous memories, but after a good sleep, her energy had recovered a lot.

Karina stepped out of the carriage and moved her shoulders. Unlike Malcolm's Terrance Manor, Carmen's Hyman Manor occupies a small area, only about one-tenth of the former. There are no crops planted except for Most of the area outside the residence is filled with gardens and lawns. This place was left by Carmen's late husband Smith. The latter died due to an accidental fall from a horse one year after their marriage, so the manor is now owned by Carmen.

"What do you two want?" A black man was mowing the lawn. He put down his scissors and walked over.

"I heard that the owner here is proficient in the medical skills of the Guanajatabe people, so I came here to seek medical treatment." Zhang Heng also got off the carriage.

"Yes, Mrs. Smith is indeed very talented in this area. Her Guanajata medical skills have even surpassed those of the Guanajata people on the island." The black man smiled, "However, if you seek medical treatment, you need to make an appointment in advance. We need to prepare herbs and corresponding healing tools for you first, as well as meditate the night before."

"Really, but we are already here, at least let me try the effect first."

"This..." The black man looked very embarrassed, "But you came at the wrong time. In half an hour, a guest with an appointment will come, so..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a female voice, "It's okay, Drew, let them in."

"As you wish." The black man stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Heng and Karina followed him through a small flower garden and walked into the main entrance.

The black man turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea. Five minutes later, the owner of the voice came down from upstairs. She was standing in front of the window on the second floor before. Zhang Heng just glanced at it. Now he finally had a chance. Met the real owner up close.

According to the information collected by Zhang Heng, Carmen should be about the same age as Eugene, in her forties, but it is difficult to tell from her appearance.

I don’t know what method she uses to maintain her skin, which makes her look like she is only about thirty years old. Her whole person exudes a unique charm that mixes maturity and innocence. Zhang Heng can understand why Eugene is fascinated by her. .

"Drew, do you know who you just turned away?"

"Excuse my ignorance, ma'am." The black man bowed.

"Who is the most famous person on the island these days?"

"Mr. Malcolm, who formed the Black Merchant Alliance, and Black Prince Sam, who became the Pirate King of Nassau, I often hear people talking about their names... But the most famous one recently is Zhang from the Jackdaw. Captain Heng." When the black man said this, he obviously realized who the person sitting in front of him was. After all, Zhang Heng's oriental features were still very obvious, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You cannot drive the most famous captain on the island, the new king of Nassau, out of your house at any time. Drew, please cancel the appointment later and tell Mr. Buffon that the treatment time will be changed to tomorrow night."

The black man nodded, turned around and brought the tea, and then walked out of the room.

"I hope my people didn't offend you." Carmen held out her hand.

Zhang Heng has never liked the European hand kissing ceremony. This is a custom of the Vikings. It was later spread to Europe and became popular among the upper class. It was mostly used to show respect for married women. It is still popular among European royal families in modern times. , but it cannot hide the fact that it is not hygienic, especially considering the current era. People living in Nassau may not be able to take a shower once a week, and there are definitely a lot of bacteria on their hands.

Therefore, Zhang Heng just stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand politely.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Carmen's face, but she quickly covered it up, turned to the businesswoman and smiled, "Let me guess, since Captain Zhang Heng has arrived, you must be Anne, no, Miss Anne has enviable red hair. You are Miss Karina. Although what you do is not as famous as Captain Zhang Heng, it is now well-known to everyone, especially among the women on the island. Many people are discussing you. "And Miss Anne, you have proven that there is still a place for women in a world dominated by men."

"You think too highly of me. I'm just a businessman who wants to make money." Karina said.

The three of them sat down again after being polite. Carmen said, "I didn't expect Captain Zhang Heng to know about me. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"There is really something that Mrs. Smith needs help with."

"That's my honor. I wonder what's wrong with Captain Zhang Heng?" Carmen picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip of tea.

"I heard that you and Mr. Eugene are very familiar with each other, madam."

"Feel sorry?"

"We have no ill intentions towards Mr. Eugene. In fact, we also know that he has been in a somewhat helpless situation over the years. We want to help him solve his troubles, but only if you can help us first and tell us to threaten him. What exactly is."

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am just a doctor who uses the medical skills of the Nahatabe people to..."

"We know what your relationship is with Eugene." Karina interrupted Carmen, "Eugene always comes to you for treatment in the middle of the night and leaves the next morning. His wife is not on the island. And you have been a widow for so many years..."

"With all due respect, Miss Karina, you know nothing about widowhood." Carmen's tone also changed, no longer as polite as before, "If you are here for this matter, I'm sorry. , Our conversation can only end here, Drew, the guest is leaving."

The black man came in from outside the house after hearing this, but neither Zhang Heng nor Karina got up. "I heard that after your husband passed away, you and your husband's family were not happy. They wanted to take back his family on the island. We may be able to provide some help with the properties on the property, especially this manor.”

Carmen's eyes twitched when she heard this, but she finally said, "I don't know what you are talking about, and I can't help you even if I want to. Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Eugene is just a patient of mine. If you are here to see a doctor, I welcome it, but there is nothing else I can do about it.”
