The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1748

"The family would only need to make sure she gets proper care and nutrition."

Mary wasn't one to hand out charity recklessly, but seeing such a tiny, fragile child tugged at her heartstrings.

"You'll have to discuss that with her family," Claire said, surprised Mary already had a solution.

She had assumed Mary wanted her to cure the girl as a way to hone her skills.

Her traditional methods could theoretically treat the condition, but the process would be incredibly slow.

With the girl's current state, it all depended on what her family wanted.

But if they kept putting off the surgery, she might deteriorate to the point where she was no longer operable.

"Can you really find someone to treat little Nellie for free?"

The old man with the pipe eyed Mary skeptically.

He was trying to figure out if she was full of it.

Mary nodded, pulling out a pen and paper to jot down a phone number.

"I see her family is swamped right now. Could you pass this along to them?"

"They just need to call this number and ask."

The old man took the paper suspiciously. "Is this for real? They don't need to drop your name?"

Mary chuckled. "No need. My name won't get them a discount, but they can say Dr. Hastings referred them."

Dr. Hastings. So the old lady's last name was Hastings.

"What a coincidence. My last name is Hastings too. Maybe we were family five hundred years ago."

Mary shot him a look. "What a coincidence indeed."

She didn't elaborate. The three of them paid the bill and left.

Once they were gone and Logan finally caught a breather, Quincy rushed over to share the massive news.
