Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 760

The pain failed to recede. Monica rubbed her chest hard. Audrey's face looked serious, and the mask she wore did little to detract attention from her eyes and eyebrows' beauty. She said in a kind voice, "Don't do that, madam. It will only make things worse. You'll be fine in a little while. The medicine we injected you with will take effect in about ten minutes."

Monica's head was covered with sweat. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she placed her hands by the bed and looked at Audrey with trembling eyes.

A nurse was cleaning the equipment nearby. Audrey smiled at Monica. "Don't worry, madam. The heart disease is not that severe, but please, try not to get too worked up in future. You should keep things light."

Still feeling a little weak, Monica stammered, "When we step out, can you…can you describe my condition to my son as though it's more serious?"

The doctor frowned. "Why? Do you want your son to worry about you?"

"To some extent, yes. My son has always been obedient. But ever since he started dating this girlfriend of his a few months back, he's begun to disobey me. He's been annoying me repeatedly of late." Monica stared at Audrey's eyes. She didn't know why, but she had a gut feeling that this doctor would help her.

"So you want your son to break up with his girlfriend, and that's why you want me to lie?" Audrey smirked as realization dawned on her.

'Surely, all mothers-in-law are vicious, ' she thought. Staring at the patient, she suddenly remembered her grandmother. Back then, she had also tried to get her parents to divorce.

"Yes, doctor. Please, do me this favor. That seductress has completely brainwashed my son. He doesn't listen to me anymore. If it goes on like this, I might die." Frowning, Monica was disgusted at the thought of Fiona's innocent face.

Audrey curled her lips. "But… as doctors, our ethics are important to us. What you're asking of me goes against the code."

Monica's eyes seemed to go blank. Suddenly reaching out, she grabbed Audrey's hand. "Please, doctor. Just tell my son that I'm seriously ill and can't bear any agitation."

Audrey could not refuse her patient's request. She went against her conscience and decided to play along.

She looked solemn as she accompanied the nurse who wheeled Monica out.

By the time the emergency room doors burst open, Ethon's nerves were already frayed. He walked towards his mother and saw her lying on the bed with a deathly pallor on her face. Her lips were pursed as if she was unwilling to talk.

Audrey asked that Monica be transferred to a ward as she needed to remain under observation for three more days. Then she saw Ethon. Calming herself, she asked, "Who is the patient's family?"

Fiona was Mandy's younger sister, and Ethon was Fiona's boyfriend. Audrey had seen them in Adrian's ward before. However, she hadn't expected that the woman who had been begging her in the operating room would be Ethon's mother.

The woman wanted her son to break up with Fiona. Audrey found it funny. It was like she just accidentally discovered a big secret. She felt quite excited.
