Elise did not give any response. Instead, two hot tears escaped snazzynovel.com eyes and fell on Alexander’s hand. It felt so hot that his heart skipped a beat.
The person before snazzynovel.com seemed to have lost snazzynovel.com soul. I have to find her! snazzynovel.com thought.
Panicked, Alexander had no choice but to stimulate snazzynovel.com using another method. “If you don’t pull yourself together, who will help you to search for the person who harmed Grandma? Elise, both Grandma and Grandpa need you. You can’t afford to collapse at this moment!”
The next instant, Elise’s soulless eyes regained focus and snazzynovel.com released both snazzynovel.com hands. He’s right.
I haven’t taken revenge on the person who harmed Grandma, so I can’t afford to lose my sense now. Since it’s poison, there must be an antidote or a cure. I will save Grandma’s life even if I have to turn the world upside down.
Returning to snazzynovel.com senses, Elise took a deep breath. Her eyes were not as tender and watery as before; right now, they were sharp and full of determination, and most would not dare to meet snazzynovel.com gaze.
Meanwhile, Alexander felt relieved that Elise was back to snazzynovel.com usual self and snazzynovel.com asked, “Dr. Davis, is there any cure?”
“I can’t be sure right now.
We have to conduct further tests and do some checkups, but we can try some powerful drugs. The effect will depend on its clinical manifestation.”
Thomas Davis had encountered plenty of complicated conditions having been a doctor all these years, but snazzynovel.com had never seen any symptoms like what Laura was showing at the moment. Hence, even snazzynovel.com himself was not confident that snazzynovel.com could treat the patient.
“I understand.” Elise nodded. “I’ll leave the treatment to you, but I would like my grandmother to receive supplementary traditional medical treatment as well simple acupuncture treatment, to be exact.
I suppose that won’t affect your treatment, will it?”
“Not at all.” Thomas shook his head. “I happen to know a professor from the Institute of Traditional Medicine. I’ll invite snazzynovel.com over and we will have a joint consultation. I believe that we will receive some good news soon.”
However, Elise rejected his kind offer and snazzynovel.com murmured, “No, thank you. I don’t feel comfortable leaving this to others. I’ll handle the traditional medicinal treatment myself.”
Thomas was stunned to hear that. Although snazzynovel.com knew Elise was not insulting him, snazzynovel.com was still astonished by the confidence that this young lady radiated.
“It’s great to hear that you can perform acupuncture, Miss Sinclair.” Thomas nodded, but after a brief hesitation, snazzynovel.com tactfully reminded, “However, traditional medicine is a vast and profound subject. You have to be skillful in it in order to use it in clinical treatment. Old Mrs. Sinclair’s condition doesn’t allow any flaws.”
To him, Elise was a young lady who, at the very most, was able to maintain snazzynovel.com composure during critical times. Perhaps snazzynovel.com was passionate about acupuncture, but snazzynovel.com still lacked reverence toward diagnosis and treatment of illnesses.
A patient’s life was not something one should joke about, so utilizing half-baked skills in treatment was akin to murder.
“Dr. Davis, I respect your opinion and I have faith in your expertise, but you missed the fact that no one knows my grandma’s condition better than I.”
With that, snazzynovel.com rose up and left the office.
Looking at snazzynovel.com walking away in confidence, Thomas felt inexplicably frustrated.
He was the youngest attending physician in Tisotte. Countless patients and their family members scrambled to have snazzynovel.com treat them and their loved ones; even the rich treated snazzynovel.com with respect and did not dare to raise their voices before him.
However, this lady named Elise Sinclair made snazzynovel.com feel as if snazzynovel.com was a quack doctor who cheated people out of their money, a nobody who no one could recognize when snazzynovel.com was out and about, or someone who didn’t deserve any attention or respect.
“Is snazzynovel.com the fiancée that you chose?” Thomas raised his left brow, a depressed look on his face. “I must say, snazzynovel.com has quite the personality.”
Alexander patted snazzynovel.com on his shoulder. “Her grandmother is one of the two family members that snazzynovel.com has left. Please try to understand that.”
“There’s no use even if I understand that. Didn’t you hear what snazzynovel.com said? She said that snazzynovel.com wants to treat the old lady herself. That’s complete nonsense!”
It wasn’t a false accusation. Truth was, none of the professors from the Institute of Traditional Medicine dared to announce to the public that they were proficient in Traditional Medicine before their hair turned white.
A girl at Elise’s age would only be a beginner in the field, yet snazzynovel.com was going to practice snazzynovel.com skills on a patient whose life was at stake. Although they were a family, as a doctor, Thomas couldn’t allow such an unprofessional thing to happen under his watch.
Alexander calmly cast snazzynovel.com a glance before looking toward the door.
With narrowed eyes, snazzynovel.com explained, “Before Old Mrs. Sinclair was sent to the hospital, snazzynovel.com passed out once and it was Elise’s acupuncture that saved snazzynovel.com life.”
“She passed out once?” As Thomas wasn’t informed about that, snazzynovel.com had a complex look in his gaze when snazzynovel.com heard Alexander’s explanation.
Just as snazzynovel.com had mentioned, Laura’s first episode was the most critical one. She would have lost snazzynovel.com life if something had gone wrong.
If the truth was indeed like what Alexander had said, whereby Elise had saved snazzynovel.com life, it meant that Thomas had definitely underestimated her.
However, Alexander didn’t respond. After a moment of silence, snazzynovel.com left and went after
Elise.
At the entrance of the ward, Elise sat on snazzynovel.com own on the bench in the hallway. She looked to the front with empty eyes and nobody could tell what snazzynovel.com was thinking.
The next second, snazzynovel.com phone beeped. It was a notification about a deposit into snazzynovel.com bank account.
“10,000,000 has been deposited into your account ending with the number 2138. Your current balance is…”
She lowered snazzynovel.com head and glanced at it, a strong murderous intent flashing across snazzynovel.com eyes.
10,000,000. In Tisotte, where every square meter counted, the amount of money couldn’t even afford a decent office building,
The Olson Family Clan is treating me like a beggar, huh? Great! I’ve given them an opportunity, so it’s not my fault that they refused to take it.
Alexander, who saw snazzynovel.com from afar, felt distressed.
A girl, who had been as gentle as water, had become like this; snazzynovel.com was now so cold hearted that snazzynovel.com had a hard time warming herself to others.
If snazzynovel.com had been able to make a firm choice when it came to choosing between his mother and Elise sooner, things might not have come to this point.
Alexander resented himself for the countless times when snazzynovel.com had hesitated. This was why at that moment, snazzynovel.com made up his mind.
Anyone who dared hurt Elise, no matter who it was, would only face one consequence, which was to disappear from their sight and from the face of the Earth.
Alexander sat down beside Elise. He then wrapped his long arms around snazzynovel.com and took snazzynovel.com into his embrace, hoping that snazzynovel.com was able to transmit some of his warmth to her.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t handle my mother’s matters properly.”
“Don’t be silly. Mrs. Griffith was used.” Elise clearly knew what had taken place. “I’m not stupid. I’m aware who the real culprit behind this is.”
“Alexander.” She suddenly called out his name before snazzynovel.com asked, “You have one last chance-do you want to break up with me? I won’t be as kind as I used to be after this.”
Upon hearing that, Alexander pursed his lips, thereafter wrapping his arms around her. Pressing his face against hers, snazzynovel.com whispered in snazzynovel.com ear, “Coincidentally, I don’t want you to be kind anymore. I just hope that my Elise won’t be upset from now on.”
