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

The businesswoman is a person who can afford to let go, although she was lost for a while after knowing about Zhang Heng and Anne, she quickly regained her strength and devoted her energy to the business on the island, in fact, the busyness of this time has diluted the regret in her heart.

It's just that now the two of them are in the same small space, which evokes her previous memories, but after a good night's sleep, her spirit has recovered a lot.

Karina stepped out of the carriage and moved her shoulders, unlike Malcolm's Terence Manor, Carmen's Heyman Manor is not large, only about one-tenth of the former, and does not grow any crops, except for the residence, most of the place is a garden and lawn, this place was left by Carmen's late husband Smith, who died in an accident a year after the two got married, so the manor is now owned by Carmen.

"Is there anything wrong with the two of you?" A black man was mowing the lawn, and when he saw this, he put down the scissors in his hand and walked over.

"I've heard that the owner here is well-versed in the medical skills of the Guanajatabe, so I've come to seek medical treatment." Zhang Heng also got out of the carriage.

"Yes, Mrs. Smith is very talented in this area, and her Guanajatabe medical skills have even surpassed those of the Guanajata people on the island." The black man smiled, "However, if you want to go to the doctor, you need to make an appointment in advance, we need to prepare the herbs and corresponding healing tools for you first, and we will also have to meditate the night before." ”

"yes, but we're already here, at least let me try it first."

"This ......," the black man looked embarrassed, "but you didn't come at the right time, and in half an hour, a guest with an appointment would come, so ......"

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

"As you wish." The black man stepped out of the way and made a gesture of please.

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, and after another five minutes, the owner of the voice came down from upstairs, before she was standing in front of the window on the second floor, Zhang Heng just took a general look, and now he finally had the opportunity to get close to the main owner.

According to the information collected by Zhang Heng, Carmen should be about the same age as Eugene, and he is also in his forties, but it is difficult to see from the appearance.

I don't know what method she uses to maintain her skin, making her look like she is only about thirty years old, and the 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?"

"Forgive me for my ignorance, ma'am." Blacks owe a debt.

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

"Mr. Malcolm, who formed the Black Merchant Alliance, Sam, the Black Prince who became the Pirate King of Nassau, I often hear people talk about their names...... But if you want to say that the most famous recently, it is Captain Zhang Heng of the Jackdaw. When the black man said this, he obviously realized who the person sitting in front of him was, after all, Zhang Heng's characteristics as an Oriental were still obvious, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You can't kick the island's most prestigious captain, the new king of Nassau, out of his house at any time, Drew, put down the date behind and tell Mr. Buffon that the time for treatment will be changed to tomorrow night."

The black man nodded, turned back to serve his tea, and walked out of the room.

"I hope my people haven't offended you." Carmen held out her hand.

Zhang Heng has not been very fond of the European hand kiss, this is a custom of the Vikings, and later spread to Europe, popular in the upper class, mostly used to show respect for married women, to modern times is still popular among the royal families in Europe, but it can't hide the fact that it is not hygienic, especially considering the current background of the times, people living in Nassau may not be able to take a bath once a week, and there are definitely a lot of bacteria on their hands.

Therefore, Zhang Heng just stretched out his hand and shook it politely with the other party.

A look of embarrassment flashed on Carmen's face, but she quickly covered up the past, turned her head and smiled at the businesswoman, "Let me guess, since Captain Zhang Heng has arrived, then you must be Annie, no, Miss Annie has enviable red hair, you are Miss Karina, although what you have done is not as famous as Captain Zhang Heng, but now it is also a household name, especially among the women on the island, many people are discussing you and Miss Anne, you prove that women can still have a place in this world dominated by men." ”

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

After the three of them sat down again, Carmen said, "I didn't expect Captain Zhang Heng to know me, is there anything I can help you?" ”

"There's one thing I really need Mrs. Smith's help with."

"That's my honor, I don't know what makes Captain Zhang Heng uncomfortable?" Carmen picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea.

"I heard that Madame, you and Mr. Eugene are very familiar."

"Excuse me?"

"We don't have any ill will towards Mr. Eugene, in fact we know that he has been in a somewhat helpless situation all these years, and we want to help him solve his problems, but only if you can help us first and tell us what is threatening him."

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a doctor, using the medical skills of the Nahatabe people to ......"

"We know what your relationship with Eugene is." Karina interrupted Carmen, "Eugene always comes to you in the middle of the night for treatment, and he 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 also changed, and he was no longer as polite as before, "If you're here for this, then I'm sorry, our conversation can only end here, Drew, the guest is leaving." ”

The black man walked in from outside the house when he heard this, but Zhang Heng and Karina didn't get up, "I heard that after your husband's death, you and your husband's family are a little unhappy, and they want to take back his property on the island, especially this manor, we may be able to help." ”

Carmen's eyes jumped when she heard this, but finally said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I can't help you if I want to, whether you believe it or not, Mr. Eugene is just one of my patients, if you come to see a doctor, I'm welcome, but I can't do anything else." ”
