No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1059

Noelle noticed the number on the screen and stepped back slightly.

"Go ahead and answer it. Mrs. Greene's probably calling to ask about today's trial. She might've caught wind of it with all the online buzz."

Cedric nodded and walked off to the side to take the call. "What's up, Mom?"

"What's going on with all that noise online? It didn't affect the trial, did it?"

"No, it didn't, but Mrs. Merlock suddenly fainted, and the session was interrupted."

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Emma replied, "She's always been like that and full of little tricks."

Cedric hummed in reply before asking, "How are you feeling today? Is the treatment working?"

"I'm feeling a little better, and the treatment's helping. As for Noelle, make sure to comfort her. All the drama on the internet won't affect anything. I've called Mrs. Cantrell, and we'll take care of it."

After hanging up, Emma turned to Andrew in front of her and calmly said, "Alright, speak. What else have you been keeping from me?"

Andrew looked uneasy. "What are you talking about, Mrs. Greene? We haven't hidden anything from you."

"Why don't I need surgery anymore? What changed? And why did you transfer my previous attending physician? There must be a reason."

Emma was no fool. She could tell something was off.

Andrew briefly hesitated before saying, "Well… I'm not really in a position to say anything."

"Fine. I'll ask my previous doctor then. He was sent to the police station, wasn't he?" Emma said as she got up.

Andrew finally sighed and decided to confess. "Then… you'd better prepare yourself. Your illness wasn't just a matter of bad luck; it was manufactured."

Emma's expression shifted instantly. "Manufactured?"

He nodded. "That's all I can say. You're smart, so you can surely figure out the rest. Everyone kept this from you for your own good."

As Emma walked out of the office, she could barely stand straight.
