Chapter 208 A Terrifying Thought
Suddenly, Steven became curious about his sister's position in the medical field, as she could come up with solutions for such difficult conditions in an instant...
It was widely known that Abbott was the most skilled doctor internationally, rumored to possess extraordinary healing abilities, but nobody knew his whereabouts...
Since their grandparents were admitted to the ICU, Steven had sent people to inquire about Abbott's whereabouts several times, hoping to have him come and save their grandparents.
Some said he had already passed away, while others claimed he had been seen in the Bermuda Triangle, but the reliability of these rumors was questionable.
Could his sister's medical skills be influenced by Abbott?
If that were true, then their grandparents would definitely have hope!
"Abella, you seem so confident in that doctor's medical skills. It looks like you and her have regular contact. Are you close with her?" Mrs. Medici inquired.
Medici asked in a gentle voice, "Hmm." She was indeed quite familiar with herself.
"If she can save your grandparents from such a tricky illness, her fee must be expensive!"
With that, Mrs. Medici took out a card from her handbag. "There are two billion dollars on this card. Take a look at what she quotes, satisfy her, and the rest can be your pocket money."
Abella thought, giving her money again?
Lola, who was next to them, was consumed with jealousy. Her mother kept finding ways to give Abella money, without considering her feelings at all... She just needed a prescription, why would it require two billion dollars!
This was clearly favoritism and indulgence!
"No, I don't need it. I have money." Abella pushed the card back into her mother's arms, refusing to accept it.
"A reputable doctor will surely charge a high price, and your money won't be enough," Mrs. Medici insisted on handing over the card. "Besides, how can I let you pay?"
"I know her well. She won't charge me much, don't worry." Abella couldn't take her parents' money anymore.
Lola, clinging to Mrs. Medici's arm, coquettishly said, "Mom, you're being too polite. Sister wants to show her filial piety on this occasion. If grandpa and grandma wake up and find out that Sister is the one who brought the doctor and paid for it, they will definitely like her even more!"
Mrs. Medici glared at her reproachfully. "Your sister is just like you, only eighteen! It's normal for a girl her age to not earn money. If I let her pay, your grandparents will definitely say I'm wrong!"
"Sister said that she knows that doctor. If she's the one negotiating, the doctor won't charge her much..."
"No, she must charge!" Mr. Medici firmly stated. "How can we let Abella pay on her own?"
"That's right, your dad is right. If you don't accept, we won't give your grandparents the medicine you brought." Mrs. Medici threatened insincerely.
Mr. Medici nodded. "Abella has only been back home for less than a month, and she's already managing the company, exposing so many people who are detrimental to the company, devoting herself to a design competition, helping her subordinates win the championship trophy, and raising the company's reputation. As parents, how can we take advantage of her again?"
"Abella, please take it." Mrs. Medici insisted on stuffing the card into Abella's hand. If Abella didn't accept it, she would forcibly put it in Abella's backpack.
In the end, Abella didn't refuse, thinking that she would return the card to her mother after some time.
Lola was furious with jealousy. Wasn't it said not to accept it? In the end, she still took the money? Hypocritical! Disgusting! Pretentious!
"Just Abella, do we need to have that doctor come and take a careful look at your grandparents and then prescribe the right medicine?" Mrs. Medici curiously asked.
"Yes, we can't be careless about this. Let's have her come and take a look so that we can thank her in person," Mr. Medici also suggested.
"If that person is Abbott, it would be better to ask him to come and take a look. His medical skills are definitely more reliable than Doctor Miller and the others," said Doctor Miller eagerly.
Abella could only respond, "I'll talk to her about it later."
"Great, this is fantastic!" Mrs. Medici exclaimed, relieved that the burden she had been carrying for a long time was finally about to be lifted.
At that moment, Lola had a clever idea and said, "Sister, luckily you were prepared when you went out today. Otherwise, grandma..."
She pretended to worry for a moment and then continued, "But how did you guess that grandpa and grandma would suddenly feel unwell?"
With these words, Lola wanted to remind everyone present if it was possible that Abella intentionally aggravated grandma's condition when her older brother wasn't paying attention, and then brought out what she had prepared in advance just to put on a show in front of everyone?
"Lola Miss, you don't understand," Doctor Miller smiled and spoke up. "Those studying medicine are always prepared anytime, anywhere. Fortunately, Abella intervened today. If I ever have any medical questions in the future, could I ask for your advice? I truly admire your medical skills."
"Abella still has to go to college. If you have any questions, you can ask her when she visits her grandparents and has time," Mr. Medici said, worried about his daughter's studies.
"Yes, then I would like to thank Mr. Medici and Miss Abella in advance," said Doctor Miller, leaving with a few nurses.
Lola was filled with jealousy. They didn't even mention her! She had just praised his medical skills in front of Abella!
At that moment, a terrible thought suddenly crossed her mind. If the medicine Abella brought could potentially kill grandpa and grandma...
Then she wouldn't be able to stay in this household anymore!
Even if she managed to avoid a death sentence due to the face of the Medici family, Abella could still end up spending her entire life in prison.
By then, Lola would be the only little princess left in the family. Everything would return to the way it was.
Just thinking about this made Lola unable to contain her excitement. As long as all the evidence proved that Abella wanted to harm her grandparents...
With this thought in mind, Lola glanced at the two old people in the hospital bed. They had really loved her for eighteen years, and she couldn't bear to hurt them...
After a while, Mrs. Medici got up and instructed the caregivers beside her, "You'll be in charge from now on. If there's any situation, please call me immediately."
"Yes."
"Abella, it's getting late. Let's go back," Mrs. Medici said, taking Abella's hand and leaving the ward.
