Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 The Wrong Lifesaver

Rose hurried over.

An elderly man leaning on a cane was shakily bracing himself against a flower bed. His face was pale, his breathing erratic, and he appeared to be fighting back waves of nausea.

Rose didn’t dare waste a second. Elderly people often had underlying health conditions, and when a sudden illness struck, it could quickly become life-threatening.

She jogged over.

"Sir?"

The old man’s consciousness was somewhat clouded, but he managed to steady himself and glance at Rose.

Frowning, Rose quickly assessed his condition. She checked his blood pressure, observed his breathing pattern, skin color, and level of consciousness, then rapidly formed a preliminary diagnosis..

The elderly man was most likely suffering from acute gastrointestinal spasms. Coupled with his severe hypertension, complications had already begun to develop.

Any delay could very likely lead to a cerebral hemorrhage or trigger a thrombotic stroke.

Supporting him with one hand, she said patiently, "Please don’t worry. Try to keep your breathing steady."

Quickly retrieving her emergency medical kit, Rose administered first-aid treatment while monitoring his vital signs and taking measures to stabilize his condition until further medical care could be arranged.

Before long, the old man let out a sudden gasp.

His breathing gradually steadied.

The dilation in his pupils began to recede.

Looking at Rose, he said gratefully, "Young lady, thank you so much. I’ve even gotten your clothes dirty."

Seeing that he was no longer in immediate danger, Rose asked, "It’s fine. Is anyone from your family here? Would you like me to help you get back to your room?"

Mathew Brown shook his head.

"No need. I’m feeling much better now. The kids would only worry if they found out."

Especially that rascal Oliver. He was already concerned about Mathew wandering off on his own to clear his head. If he learned about this incident, he’d become even more impossible to deal with.

Rose persisted.

"Since you have several chronic conditions, I recommend getting a thorough examination. It’ll help identify the underlying cause and make treatment more effective."

Mathew found himself liking Rose more and more.

He nodded with a smile.

"Alright, young lady. What’s your name?"

Rose opened her mouth to answer.

"Dr. Bennett! There’s a patient over here with unusual symptoms. Could you come?"

A member of the medical outreach team rushed over and called out urgently.

Rose nodded.

Turning back to Mathew, she smiled.

"You’re welcome. It’s all part of my job. I’ll ask the resort staff to escort you back."

After making the necessary arrangements, she hurried away.

Mathew watched her retreating figure and regretfully tapped his cane.

He had been hoping to get to know her better.

Who knew? He might even have introduced her to his good-for-nothing grandson.

Soon afterward, resort staff arrived with Oliver.

Oliver’s face immediately turned pale as he checked his grandfather from head to toe.

"You had another episode? We need to get you to the hospital right now!"

The old man snorted. "A beautiful young lady took good care of me and saved this old man’s life."

Oliver immediately relaxed.

"Who was she? What’s her name?"

The old man looked disappointed. "Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to ask. She was a particularly elegant and striking young woman—probably one of the physicians from the international medical outreach team. Our family owes her a tremendous debt of gratitude. If it weren’t for her quick thinking and treatment, I’d probably be smiling down at everyone from a framed portrait by now."

"Grandpa, don’t say things like that."

Oliver rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Mathew tapped his cane as he walked.

"What a shame I didn’t get her contact information. Such a lovely girl. I was even thinking of introducing her to you. Though honestly, a kid like you probably isn’t good enough for her."

Oliver: "..."

Naturally, he was deeply grateful to her.

But since he had no way of contacting her, the matter would have to wait.

He immediately escorted his grandfather back to the suite.

The resort maintained a top-tier medical team along with portable diagnostic equipment.

Oliver knew his grandfather’s condition well.

Years of overworking himself in his youth had left behind countless health problems, and now they were beginning to surface all at once.

After the examination, the physician exclaimed in surprise.

"It’s incredible. Mr. Brown was on the verge of a cerebral hemorrhage not long ago. With a blood clot this severe, most patients would require emergency surgery immediately. Yet his condition has already stabilized. He only needs proper follow-up treatment now. Whoever intervened truly saved his life."

Oliver thought for a moment.

He decided to visit the medical outreach team and find out who it was.

Just as he entered the lobby, he ran into Samantha and Ryan, who had just returned.

The volunteer vest Samantha was wearing immediately caught his attention.

His eyes lit up.

"Was it you who saved my grandfather?"

Even Ryan turned to look at Samantha.

Samantha had indeed just returned from volunteering at the clinic.

Most of the resort’s guests were influential figures from high society.

Helping out there was an excellent networking opportunity.

She had assisted with health screenings and consultations throughout the day.

So when Oliver looked at her with such gratitude, she was briefly stunned before smiling.

"So it was your grandfather? It was nothing."
