Chapter 10 It’s Her?!
At that moment, the Nolan Residence was in a chaotic mess.
Old Man Nolan had already been unconscious for a week. Moreover, his blood pressure had soared and he was in danger of cerebral hemorrhage at any time. Therefore, everybody was extremely anxious. Even so, nobody dared to call the shots and operate on him. After all, the old man was already in his eighties. Who could guarantee that he would safely survive the operation?
“Let me try. Although it’s risky to operate, it’s still better than letting Grandpa die, right?” Penny Nolan said.
She was Eugene’s younger half-sister from a different mother. More importantly, she held a doctorate in medicine and currently worked at the Department of Neurology at Summer City’s hospital.
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, some of the elders surrounding the old man looked hesitant.
They believed in Penny’s medical abilities. After all, she was the youngest in the family to obtain a doctorate in medicine and was also the youngest neurological expert in the hospital. Still, Old Man Nolan was rather old and frail. Besides, none of them actually called the shots in this family.
Right at that moment, Jade arrived with Olivia in tow. When she took in the situation in the room, she immediately dragged Olivia with her as she stepped forward and hurriedly piped up, “Wait! Penny! This is Miss Maxwell! Nathan told me she is very skillful and has managed to cure many people! Moreover, Miss Maxwell mentioned that she can treat Grandpa without performing surgery on him! Let her try treating him first!”
Upon hearing that, Penny looked at Olivia suspiciously. When she saw that Olivia had a child by her side, she immediately revealed an expression of contempt.
How dare a lowly housewife try to steal my limelight?!
“Jade, where did you find this woman? She even brought unnecessary baggage with her! Can she really cure Grandpa?”
Olivia’s expression changed drastically at those words.
In the past, Nathan had told Jade about Olivia’s abilities. Although he was normally a troublemaker, he was still rather reliable when it came to matters relating to his great-grandpa’s illness. At the very least, he would never bring in a quack doctor to treat Old Man Nolan. Therefore, Jade had a lot of trust in Olivia and her abilities.
Thus, when she heard the words uttered by Penny, her expression changed greatly, and she immediately said, “Shut up, Penny. Miss Maxwell here was invited over by Nathan. He told me she can cure Old Man Nolan’s sickness. So, you better treat her with more respect and let her have a try!”
