Chapter 35: Apologizing to Her
Olivia remained still, her body slightly stiffened as someone came to her aid, offering support to stabilize herself.
Raising her eyes, she met Victor’s enigmatic gaze, which seemed clouded and uncertain.
Locking eyes, Olivia’s body subtly stiffened for a moment, then quickly averted her gaze, propping herself up on the bed.
Victor instinctively supported her, but now he saw her as if she were a fierce beast or a raging flood, something to avoid. His eyes darkened abruptly, and the big hand that had been supporting her waist was immediately withdrawn.
“You dare to claim that you have studied many complex ailments? Is this your research achievement? From what I see, those certificates of yours were simply bought!”
Abigail, completely unaware of the strange atmosphere between them, continued to rage, glaring angrily at Isaac. “Brother, I think she’s nothing but a fraud! Quickly kick her out!”
Upon hearing this, Olivia snapped out of her reverie, not mincing her words as she retorted sarcastically, “No wonder Old Whitaker’s condition has deteriorated. So, there have always been people intentionally hindering his treatment. Since Miss Whitaker insists on it, then fine, let’s pretend I never came here today.”
Declaring her decision, she stood up and carefully put away the silver needles one by one into her needle bag.
Her attitude while treating Old Whitaker had been so persistent that no one expected her to leave so decisively now.
Isaac remained stunned for a few seconds before coming to his senses and hastily saying, “Dr. Prescott, I apologize sincerely. To be honest with you, our family has a long-standing medical background, and we have some superficial knowledge of acupuncture therapy. My sister is probably angry because she finds the acupoints you were needling to be risky and is worried about our grandfather. Please don’t mind her behavior.”
Without lifting her head, Olivia continued to tidy up, saying, “I don’t need to endure mistreatment here because of an ignorant person. I came here today with sincerity to treat Old Whitaker. Since Miss Whitaker doesn’t trust me, then so be it!”
As her words fell, Olivia picked up the neatly packed medicine box and turned to walk towards the door.
Isaac became anxious, carefully placing Old Whitaker back in bed before getting up and chasing after her. “Dr. Prescott, let’s have a proper conversation. My sister indeed spoke out of line. I will make her personally apologize to you. Please continue treating my grandfather.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“No need. I can’t accept Miss Whitaker’s apology,” Olivia replied coldly.
Victor stood by the bedside, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, gazing heavily at Olivia’s back.
He could sense that this woman was genuinely angry.
Beside him, Sophia also noticed that the beautiful woman was upset. A hint of anxiety appeared in her eyes.
She hadn’t even had the chance to greet the woman, and now she was about to be driven away by anger…
Thinking this, Sophia, rarely getting angry herself, walked over with her short legs, picked up her little notebook, and angrily wrote a few words on it, then held it up in front of Abigail.
Many people noticed the sudden appearance of the little girl and their attention was drawn to the large letters on her notebook.
“Apologize!”
Sophia looked at Abigail with her big eyes, pleadingly.
Seeing this, Abigail found herself in a difficult position for a moment. Her gaze wandered for a while, pretending not to see Sophia, and turned to her brother. “Brother, we’ll find another doctor. I really can’t trust this person.”
Witnessing Abigail’s stubbornness, Olivia’s expression grew colder, and she sarcastically raised her lip at Abigail. “Then I wish Miss Whitaker good luck in finding a satisfactory doctor before Old Whitaker breathes his last.”
With her words hanging in the air, Olivia turned to leave.
However, just as she took a step forward, someone grabbed her wrist.
Olivia furrowed her brow, surprised to see Victor’s emotionless yet striking face before her.
Olivia was completely taken aback.
What does he mean by this?
