Chapter 11 They Are Family
There was no time to think—another quarrel was about to break out again. Penny’s furious voice rang out loudly, “Watch what you say! Are you cursing my grandpa to die? Someone, drag her out!”
The bodyguards standing outside prepared to rush in upon hearing those instructions.
“Stand down!” Eugene shouted. Then, the entire room fell silent suddenly.
Everybody turned to look, and Olivia followed suit. When she saw Eugene, even the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably. Why is this man here? To run into the devil at this crucial moment; d*mn it! Aren’t I too unlucky?
Seeing that it was Eugene, Penny hurried over to him. “Eugene, you came back at just the right time! Jade found a woman from God knows where and insisted on letting her treat Grandpa! She speaks so rudely and has such an arrogant attitude! More importantly, she cursed Grandpa to die!”
Olivia burst out laughing upon hearing those words. “Excuse me, miss. Your comprehension skills are so very worrying. Did you study language under a gym teacher?” As she spoke, she turned around and looked at Jade. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Baker. It looks like Old Man Nolan and I do not have any fate between us. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. Please, find somebody else to help you.”
However, Jade grabbed her and stopped her from leaving. “Please don’t leave, Miss Maxwell.” Looking at Eugene, she pleaded, “Eugene, Nathan specially invited Miss Maxwell here. He claims that she is very skillful in medicine! Please, just let her have a try! Shouldn’t we grab at the glimmer of hope we have for a chance at treatment? It’s still better than performing surgery, isn’t it? At his age, if the old man undergoes surgery, he wouldn’t be able to survive the process!”
