Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2241

“There’s something important we need to talk about. Get out.” Leia gave her a piercing look as she asked the caretaker to leave.

After the caretaker left, Mandy walked toward her hospital bed, pretending to worry about her. She said, “Leia, didn’t you say you’d like to get a liver transplant the last time? But your family refuses to do it. Look at you. Your skin is sallow and your body is weak. You look like you’re dying. That’s why you have to make yourself look miserable. They’ll certainly agree with it then.”

Leia bit her lip and glared at her, “I ended up like this because of you!”

"Don't blame me. We didn’t even know smoking would have such a great impact on your health. Besides, that was the cigarette you used to smoke. You were fine back then… So, it's probably because the doctors can't find the reason why your condition worsened and they blamed the cigarette. What matters most now is that you've survived. Although you're in a worse condition now, your mother might have a soft spot for you if things don’t get better," Mandy whispered in her ears. "You were still unconscious when I came here just now, but your mother was crying her eyes out."

“Enough. Stop talking about her,” Leia replied angrily. She lost her status in the Norman family ever since her parents acknowledged Bianca.

Jack did not like her, and Queenie's attention was all on Bianca. She was trying to make up for losing Bianca for so many years. That was why the resentment Leia had for her parents was becoming stronger and stronger.

Mandy smiled and said, “By the way, do you know the name of the doctor who treated you?”

“Which one?” Leia leaned on the pillow and sat for a while. Her body was unable to take it, and she wanted to lie down.

However, she did not want to show her weakness and look flustered in front of Mandy.

“The one who came to your ward today. He’s so handsome and young. Hey, do you think doctors like him make a lot of money?” Mandy’s eyes were gleaming. She would not have known that there were so many outstanding men in A City if she had not returned to her country.

"You mean Johann…" Leia looked at the overwhelmed look on Mandy's face. She could not help but judge her for being so clingy to men. She continued, "I'm not sure how much young doctors earn these days, but he…"

"Yes? Isn't he making a lot of money? If he's able to visit patients like you who stay in VIP wards, he must be experienced and qualified enough. But he looks young…" Mandy interrupted her without trying to conceal her interest in Johann.

“Can you wait until I finish my sentence?” Leia chimed in querulously.

Mandy smiled and stopped behaving in a spoony manner. She quickly nodded and replied, “Oh, sorry. Please continue.”

“He’s a famous doctor in this country. Many famous businessmen and politicians who are sick would find ways to see him. They would rather pay expensive medical expenses to see him than head to those private hospitals for surgery,” said Leia.

Johann was capable, but he chose to work in a public hospital.

However, there were limited resources in a public hospital. To consult a doctor like Johann, they would have to snatch up the chance to see him. Besides, Johann made his own rules. He wanted to make sure ordinary people were able to consult him too, so no one was allowed to make the reservation on behalf of anyone else. Once someone managed to make the reservation and receive treatment in the hospital, the surgery cost and medical expenses would be based on the hospital's charges.

That was why many wealthy men who wanted to consult Johann but did not manage to get the booking number had no choice but to head to a private hospital to consult the doctors there. Then, they would ask the director of the hospital to ask Johann to come over to treat them.

Only a few managed to cut in Johann’s patient line.

“Wow!” Mandy could not help but exclaim in admiration. “He’s really something.”

Based on what Leia had told her, Johann must be making a lot of money. After all, private hospitals were different from public hospitals. Johann was capable enough, and he was not afraid that he would starve.

Although Johann was not a businessman, he was considered outstanding with such social status and reputation.

"So what if he's capable? Does it have anything to do with you?" Leia said sarcastically. Johann would never fall for someone like her.

Mandy was dumbfounded for a moment. She sat beside the hospital bed and tried to please Leia. “He has nothing to do with me now. But you can help me. I’ll make sure you get a share of the pie after you recover.”
