The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 88

Cloudcrest High School was a half-hour drive from Baker Manor.

Percival drove like a bat out of hell. Fortunately, the streets were pretty chill at that time, so they made it in fifteen minutes.

When Vivienne arrived, Clara and Bertha were pacing like caged animals.

As soon as Clara saw Vivienne, she rushed up to her, "Vivienne, you're finally here. You need to go check on her. The family doctor is already upstairs. Faye stopped convulsing, but she's burning up and unconscious."

"Ok, I'll check it out right away," said Vivienne and headed upstairs with the nanny leading the way.

Percival didn't follow. He didn't think it was cool for a dude to barge into a young girl's room.

Bertha watched Vivienne head upstairs, dumbfounded. She hadn't got a chance to react when Clara followed.

She quickly grabbed Clara's hand, "Is she the Ms. Hawthorn you mentioned before?"

Clara nodded, "Yep! That's Vivienne, the Ms. Hawthorn who saved my life. Snap out of it and come upstairs with me!"

Before Bertha could react, she was dragged upstairs by Clara.

It wasn't until they saw Vivienne seriously preparing to treat Faye that they realised they got their wires crossed!

Doreen was shaking like a leaf when she saw Faye. Seeing Vivienne silently focused on her treating, she stuttered, "Ms. Hawthorn?"

Vivienne didn't respond, just kept on working.

Doreen was about to ask why Vivienne was there when Clara pulled her aside, "Don't bug Ms. Hawthorn, she's got mad skills. If you mess her up, Faye is toast."

Doreen hesitated but didn't push it.

Although she couldn't wrap her head around why this woman, whom the Hawthorn family considered a country bumpkin, knew medicine, Vivienne seemed to know her stuff.

Once Vivienne finished her treating and fed Faye a pill, she asked coldly, "Did she take any medicine that has conflicting effects?"

Doreen was taken aback, "No, she only took the medicine prescribed by Ms. Hawthorn. Dr. Marcus checked it out and said it was all good."

"Which Ms. Hawthorn?" Vivienne asked, frowning.

"Your sister, Arabella!"

Vivienne was speechless.

In fact, she didn't forget Arabella on purpose, but in her eyes, Arabella was like a stranger to her, and she didn't think about her much.

"Bring me the prescription," Vivienne said nothing more. She had to read the prescription first.

Seeing Faye looking much better, Doreen knew Vivienne was legit and handed over the prescription.

After checking the prescription, Vivienne looked grave, "This is ludicrous!"

Her angry voice startled everyone in the room.

Dr. Marcus, who had been in awe of Vivienne's skills from the get-go, quickly asked, "What's wrong with the prescription?"

He had felt something was off, but couldn't put his finger on it.
