Ten minutes later, Bella brought in four doctors."Meggie, the doctors are here.""They're here?" Meggie reached out and held onto Emily's arm. "Help me up."Emily naturally supported Meggie by the elbow, helping her adjust her sitting position.Mandy glanced at their holding hands but said nothing."Alright, tell me, what's wrong with my body?"Everyone looked at the doctors.The lead doctor, who appeared to be in his sixties and quite authoritative, spoke up, "Meggie, without a hospital examination, it's hard for us to make a definitive diagnosis. We can only speculate based on experience. However, speculation is not as accurate as examination results. I suggest you...""Just tell me your speculation," Meggie frowned slightly and murmured to Emily, "He's younger than me but more long-winded."Emily chuckled softly, lowering her voice, "He's a doctor. He has to be responsible for his patients."Alex said, "Doctor, please share your speculation. It will help my mother and me decide if
Emily not only understood nutrition, but she also knew a lot about medical care and some healing methods from the East.Her foster father and uncle had overworked themselves for their family in their youth, resulting in many chronic illnesses, especially stomach problems.They didn’t have medical insurance, and each hospital visit cost a lot of money, so William often endured the pain and didn’t go to the hospital. One day, he vomited blood, and Emily tearfully took him to the hospital for an examination.The results shocked them. William had a perforated stomach, and it had been a long time. If it got worse, it could turn into stomach cancer.William was unwilling to take leave or be hospitalized because he couldn’t afford the medical bills. He just bought some painkillers and took Emily home.Seeing William in pain every day, Emily felt very distressed. She began to study medical knowledge. She learned that stomach problems are a long-term chronic illness that cannot be completely c
Alex thought it was a good idea: "Mandy, I think this is a good plan. Mom can go to the hospital for treatment with peace of mind, and you’re free to help her at home. What do you think?"Mandy didn’t think it was a good idea.Mandy needed to go shopping, watch movies, and enjoy her milk baths and Thai massages. Staying at Meggie’s house every day? That was absolutely impossible."It’s not that I’m unwilling," Mandy said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "but I’m currently preparing for Vincent’s wedding. The wedding is very complicated, and I don’t have time to help Meggie."Alex nodded, "Then why don’t we have Janet and Bryden come?""Those two kids are like monkeys; don’t disturb God’s peace!" Meggie decided, "Mandy will help me. Mandy, let me tell you, serving God is not just a job; it requires sincerity. If God knows your heart isn’t sincere, He will be displeased."Meggie’s last words carried a hint of warning.Mandy understood her meaning. Although Meggie was old, she wasn’t m
Mr. Satan bypassed Grace and walked directly into the room.Sophia’s eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets!This man, isn’t he Emily’s wanted criminal boyfriend?How could he be here?Who was he calling grandma?Meggie’s response gave him the answer: "You still remember to visit me?"Mr. Satan smiled and greeted Alex and Mandy: "Dad, Mandy."Alex and Mandy were his foster parents, but Mr. Satan’s way of addressing them showed his attitude towards them.Alex stood up, patted his shoulder, and frowned, "Why are you so late?""There was an unexpected situation this morning that I had to deal with," Mr. Satan said as he stopped in front of Meggie, looking concerned. "Grandma, how are you feeling? What did the doctor say?"Talking about this topic made Meggie angry: "Don’t let those people come here again. They said a bunch of useless things and even suggested I might have cancer! Even if I don’t have cancer, they could make me die from anger!"Mr. Satan chuckled, "You’re still
Sophia opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.The air was silent.The driver started the car slowly, acting as if he were invisible.Grace suddenly realized something and shut her mouth.The driver didn’t speak, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t hear. He was from the Norman family. If he learned Sophia’s secret, they would be in big trouble.When the car reached the city center, Grace asked the driver to pull over and got out with Sophia.Soon, they saw Logan’s car approaching slowly.Sophia was surprised. "Mom, did you ask Dad to pick us up?""Yes," Grace said sternly. "Emily now has a strong backer. If Logan finds out about Emily’s relationship with Vincent, he’ll value her even more. Once Emily gets home, it’ll be too late. We need to act first."Although she hadn’t spoken in the car, Grace had already thought through the situation.That white dress must have been given to Emily by the masked man.The masked man was very cunning. He must have guessed that Grace would try to get
No one could refute Emily's words. Grace, Sophia, and Logan all knew that the dress belonged to Emily from the beginning!Logan felt his authority being undermined. He pointed at Emily's nose and scolded, "How dare you talk back to me? Don’t you have any manners or respect?"Grace quickly patted Logan’s chest, pretending to comfort him. "Dear, don’t be so angry. Emily is your child. How can you be so harsh on your child?"Although Logan was angry, he couldn’t afford to strain his relationship with Emily too much now.Emily was dating Vincent and had gained Meggie’s favor. Emily was no longer a girl who could be easily bullied; Logan had to consider the consequences of his anger.Logan pointed to the attic upstairs. "Go to the attic and stay there. Think carefully about what you did wrong today. Don’t come down to eat until you figure it out!""Daring, it’s so easy to order takeout now," Grace said."If you want to order takeout, then move out!" Logan gritted his teeth and sneered, "Yo
"Madam, please don't be too discouraged. Your situation is not too serious. The ability to conceive is closely related to one's emotional state. Please keep a positive attitude and cooperate with the treatment. I believe you will have a healthy baby."It was the hottest season in LA, but Emily Carter, just out of the hospital, felt like she was enveloped in a chill as if a cold breeze had swept over her, causing her body to uncontrollably shiver.Her Mother-in-law, Carol, stood at the hospital entrance, grabbed Emily's hand as soon as she saw her, and snatched the health report from her, murmuring incessantly, "Let me see. How can someone be married for so many years without having a child?"Emily instinctively tried to snatch the report back.But Carol pushed her away, disregarding Emily's pale face, and opened the report right there on the street.Emily staggered back, almost falling. The recent stress had taken a toll on her, and she realized that she hadn't drunk water for a long
An hour later, Emily returned to the Reed family's villa.As soon as she entered, Emily saw Carol peeling an apple for Sophia.Nathan, on the other hand, sat by, his gaze fixed on Sophia's slightly swollen belly. His face bore a tenderness she had never seen before.They appeared to be a harmonious family.Emily pushed the door open and Carol's smile faded. "I thought you had left... Sophia, don't mind her, have an apple."Sophia looked uneasy as she tried to stand, clutching her waist.Nathan squeezed her hand. "Sit down, don't worry about anything else."Nathan stood up, his imposing figure dominating the room. "Emily, let's talk."Upstairs was her and Nathan's bedroom.Unfortunately, in the four years since, Nathan's visits home could be counted on one hand, mostly confined to the study.Entering the room, he approached the bed, lit a cigar, his voice icy. "Speak, what are your conditions?"Emily was puzzled. "What?""How much money will it take for you to agree to a divorce?" Nath
