Chapter 91 Abigail Embarassed Herself
After saying that, Lianne looked at her grandmother pleadingly.
Madam Blake understood what she meant.
Once the will was made, even if Preston regained his memory in the end, he would not be able to take over Blake Corporation.
Moreover, what Lianne said did have some truth in it. There were indeed families that did not hesitate to make their elders pass away earlier to get their inheritance.
Madam Blake immediately said, “My granddaughter’s right. I’ve done a lot of good deeds in my life. Perhaps I will live a long life after all. I’ve decided not to make this will.”
At that time, Jared couldn’t lash out in front of his mother.
Over the past few days, everyone stayed by Madam Blake’s bed to perform their so-called filial duties. Lianne was the one who contacted the hospital. When she heard that Jonathan Woods was coming back, she begged Director Chase to ask Jonathan to treat her grandmother.
Now that his mother was in the operating theater, the anger that Jared had been suppressing for a few days exploded. He looked at Lianne as if she was his enemy.
Lianne remained indifferent and did not speak.
Jared snorted again and said, “You can’t find a husband for yourself, but you know damn well how to pick a fight. Tell me, what do you mean when you said many old people suddenly can’t be cured after making their wills?”
“I’m just stating facts,” Lianne said calmly.
Jared mocked, “You are thinking that if your grandmother doesn’t make a will, you will get a share of the inheritance once she passes away, aren’t you?”
“Even if it’s true, that is what I deserve,” Lianne said.
Of course, she hoped that her grandmother could live a long life because her grandmother was the only person other than Preston that loved her.
However, if her grandmother couldn’t make it, she would try her best to fight for Preston.
She would not give up Blake Corporation.
If she did that, she would feel as if she had betrayed her mother.
“You are a greedy, unfilial daughter!” Jared cursed.
When he suddenly saw Julian walking over, he fell silent and immediately put on a gentlemanly expression. He greeted Julian politely. “Mr. Parks!”
Julian nodded slightly and said to Lianne, “I have something to tell you.”
Lianne immediately stood up.
Julian and Lianne walked towards the elevator but went down a flight of stairs.
When they stood in the stairwell, Julian looked around. After making sure that no one was around, he said, “If you’re willing to take the risk, someone might be able to treat Preston. Of course, you have to bear the risk.”
The night before yesterday, Julian told Annalise that he had a friend who had not only lost his memory after a car accident but had also suffered from intelligence loss. His intelligence was equivalent to that of a child of about seven or eight-year-old. He had been that way for four years. Julian asked Annalise if there was any way to treat his friend.
Annalise said she needed to look at the patient’s history first to be sure.
When Julian heard Annalise’s response, he had a feeling that Annalise could cure Preston. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
A person who could make elixir pills, suppress the effect of a drug with a few silver needles, and replace Julian’s grandfather’s surgery with acupuncture could definitely cure Preston.
Julian and Lianne were actually allies.
Julian did business with Lianne and helped her climb the ladder in Blake Corporation.
1f Julian needed help in the future, Lianne would also do her best to help him.
To hide the fact that they were allies, Julian and Lianne would only simply greet each other in public. They wouldn’t speak much to each other.
In the past few years, he had also tried using his connections from abroad to find doctors to treat Preston, but the results were not ideal.
The doctors said each person could have different symptoms after being hit in the head or suffering from
trauma.
There was no blood clot in Preston’s brain. Logically speaking, he should not have lost his memory and suffered from intelligence loss.
However, those were what happened. Therefore, the doctors could not be sure whether Preston’s conditions came from a physical or a psychological source.
When Lianne heard that someone could treat Preston, Lianne’s cold exterior instantly collapsed. She asked excitedly. “Can he really be cured? I want to see the doctor. I want to talk to him in person. I want to know what the risks are.”
Preston’s condition was different from Madam Blake’s.
Madam Blake’s condition was life-threatening, so she needed to go through medical treatments.
However, Preston only lost his memory and intelligence. His life was not in danger.
If the risk of the treatment could cost Preston his life, then Lianne would rather have him live a carefree life like a child for the rest of his life.
In this world, nothing was more important than staying alive!
Julian said, “Alright. When the time comes, I’ll let her meet Preston. After she checks on Preston’s condition, we’ll talk about the treatment in detail.”
Lianne thought of Jonathan Woods and asked, “Are you talking about Dr. Woods?”
“No,” Julian said.
Knowing that Lianne may want Jonathan’s help, he said, “If you want to ask for Dr. Jonathan Woods’ help, I’ll arrange it.”
When the time came, he would ask John to go and check on Preston with Annie. This way, he could hide the fact that Annie had medical skills.
“Thank you!” Lianne was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She said, ‘I’ll go back first. After you make an appointment with the doctor, you can contact me anytime. I’ll bring Preston over right away.”
“Okay,” Julian replied.
In the operating theater, the surgery was about to begin.
The surgical assistant disinfected Madam Blake’s abdomen.
Madam Blake had several illnesses. The surgery was for her esophageal cancer. Two parts of her esophagus had cancer. One was in Stage II, and the other was in the last stage.
One was slightly below the throat, and the other was in the abdomen.
The Stage IV cancerous cells were in her abdomen and had to be surgically removed.
After resection, Madam Blake would have to go through radiation therapy and chemotherapy, supplemented with acupuncture and other unique treatments.
After some time, the doctor would operate on her throat.
The doctors Lianne consulted previously could not treat Madam Blake’s illness because she was too old and could not endure the side effects of chernotherapy and radiation therapy In addition, other than esophageal cancer, Madam Blake also had diabetes and coronary heart disease. Accidents could easily happen during the surgery.
Seeing that the surgical assistant had started to disinfect, Abigail immediately whispered to the person beside her, “Hello, is Dr. Woods here already?”
“Dr. Woods? Who?”
“I mean Professor Jonathan Woods.”
“Yeah, he’s here!”
“Which one is he?” Abigail asked again.
The surgery is about to begin. You’ll know who he is once the surgery starts.” The surgical assistant was too busy to answer Abigail’s stupid questions.
Abigail thought, “Yes, the surgery is about to begin. Dr. Jonathan Woods is the chief surgeon.”
Thinking about it, she pushed Annalise to the side. “Anna, move aside. How can I observe the surgery if you’re blocking me?”
Annalise didn’t know what to say.
After pushing Annalise aside, Abigail pushed Jonathan. “Hey, please move aside slightly and make room for
me.”
Jonathan was thinking about how he should open Madam Blake up when Abigail disturbed him. His temper flared up, and he roared, “Get lost!”
Abigail was dumbfounded.
She was so mad that she was about to lash out!
Nobody had ever treated her like that before!
In the past, when she observed other great doctors perform surgeries, other people would give her the best spot because she came from the Barton family.
She retorted in a low voice, “You… Don’t be so rude! We’re all here to observe the surgery. If you take up all the space, how can others see anything? You’re just an assistant. Do you think you’re Professor Woods?” “Pfft…” Annalise could not help but burst out laughing.
