Chapter 50
“Séraphine, what happened to Aisha?” Connor asked.
That’s something you’ll have to ask them.”
After Flora had examined Alsha, her expression was grim.
Hearing this, Connor’s icy gaze turned coldly towards the members of the Brimer family, carrying a chill that even the blazing aun
couldn’t melt away
“What did you do to Aisha just now? Flora said. Alsha was fine before. How could she possibly be vomiting blood now?
At her words, Connor and Ray both sharply tumed their attention to the members of the Brimmer family.
Yvonne, who was previously acting arrogantly, felt a shiver in her heart and quickly lowered her head.
Wade couldn’t help but feel nervous as well.
“What have you done?” Ray’s voice was hoarse with emotion.
Although there had been some bad blood between him and the Brimers in Cedarvale, he knew they truly cared for Aisha. That’s why he hadn’t been wary of them.
Facing Ray like this, Yvonne felt somewhat uneasy and immediately directed her anger towards Flora. “Don’t try slander us! What could we possibly have done? It’s you who treated her poorly and won’t admit it. And look at you, dressed so strangely, wearing a mask even in broad daylight. Are you too ashamed to show your face?”
Flora’s long–suppressed anger finally erupted. She stood up abruptly, her eyes beneath the mask reddening slightly, “Since you all don’t seem keen on curing the patient, I won’t waste my efforts anymore. Ray, I will return the million dollars in consultation fees you paid me. Now, I refuse to continue treatment”
The members of the Brimer family were really unbearable.
No matter what they said about her, Flora wouldn’t care. What she couldn’t accept was that they had administered medication to the patient without her knowledge. This was a major taboo in her profession.
“A million dollars in consultation fees!” Yvonne was shocked by this number. She even thought Flora must be crazy for money. But Flora had no reason to lie, especially with Ray right there. Such a lie would be too outrageous,
Their family couldn’t possibly come up with a million dollars. Had Ray lost his mind, giving this strange person so much money?
He wouldn’t even spend two thousand dollars on a dress for her!
‘Séraphine! Please wait!” Flora was truly about to leave, and Ray hurriedly followed, with Connor right behind him.
If it had been anyone else, Flora would have left for good, but she could see that Connor also cared deeply for Aisha.
She had spoken in anger when she said she would stop treating Aisha, but now that they had come out after her, it gave her a way to step down gracefully. She deliberately slowed her pace, and soon, they caught up with her.
“Séraphine, I apologize. We were indeed in the wrong, but the patient is still in there. You can’t just stop treatment halfway,” Ray pleaded Leamestly
“Just confine your treatment. I’ve made sure that all unrelated persons have been sent out of the room. You won’t be disturbed, Connor said
“I will cure
Doubled!
the patient, but the consultation fee will be doubled.”
Ray nearly choked on his own breath, but if Flora could truly cure Aisha, then so be it. Two million dollars was a steep price, but he could manage it.
“Alright, alright, doubled it is. Please, go check on Aisha now.”
Now that Flora’s anger had mostly subsided, she turned and headed towards Aisha’s room.
The previously triumphant members of the Brimer family were barred from entry. Their faces turned as red as beet.
To be stopped from entering a room in their own house, it would be a laughingstock if word got out.
“Connor, this is too much!” Wade gritted his teeth in anger, “This is our house. What right do you have to stop us from entering.”
