Chapter 36

• It's just that what people didn't expect was that one summer vacation, Vanessa asked Abigail to bring this ring to find him and ask him to teach her a skill.
• He was a business genius and had many talented friends around him.
• For Vanessa's sake, Derick remained unmarried throughout his life and treated Abigail as his own granddaughter. He taught her business skills, and his good friends also gave Abigail guidance in medicine. Additionally, several friends who excelled in music, chess, and painting also had a special fondness for Abigail and passed on their lifelong skills to her.
