Her Cancellation of the Engagement novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 I Charge for Medical Treatment

The drive from Ranson High School to Levine's mansion took about thirty minutes.

Lloyd drove very fast, and luckily, the streets were relatively empty at this time, so they arrived in just fifteen minutes.

When Gianna arrived, Old Mrs. Levine and Old Mrs. Judd were stamping their feet impatiently while waiting for her.

As soon as they saw Gianna walk inside, Old Mrs. Levine hurriedly walked to her and said, "Gianna, you're finally here. Please, go upstairs quickly and take a look. The family doctor is also here. Lilian isn't having seizures anymore, but her body temperature has risen to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and she looks really pale. She's also unconscious."

"Alright, I'll go take a look." Gianna nodded and went quickly upstairs, with the nanny leading the way.

Lloyd didn't follow her upstairs. After all, he was a man, it would be inappropriate for him to enter a young girl's room.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Judd was shocked as she watched Gianna go upstairs, while Old Mrs. Levine went after Gianna.

Gripping Old Mrs. Levine's hand, she asked urgently, "Riya, is she the Ms. Geller you were talking about?"

It had been a while since Old Mrs. Judd had engaged in social activities, and she didn't attend the birthday party held by the Geller family recently. So she didn't know Gianna's identity.

Old Mrs. Judd nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! The Ms. Geller who saved me is her, Gianna, the eldest daughter of the Geller family. Don't just stand there. Hurry upstairs and see for yourself!"

Before Old Mrs. Judd could figure out what was going on, Old Mrs. Levine had already pulled her upstairs. It wasn't until they went to the second floor and saw Gianna giving acupuncture to Lilian that they realized they had made a mistake.

Seeing Lilian's condition, Ellen trembled with worry. When she looked at Gianna, who was silent, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ms. Geller?"

Gianna didn't answer and was focusing on the acupuncture treatment she was giving to Lilian.

Ellen was just about to ask what Gianna was doing here when Old Mrs. Levine grabbed her arm and pulled her aside, saying, "Don't disturb Ms. Geller while she's treating the patient. She's very skilled. If she gets interrupted, there might be no hope for Lilian."

After hesitating for a moment, Ellen ultimately decided not to interrupt Gianna.

Although she didn't why a countryside girl like Gianna, whom everyone in the Geller family scolded and labeled as a loser, would be capable of treating illnesses, and her acupuncture technique seemed remarkably skilled.

After Gianna finished the acupuncture, she gave a medicinal pill to Lilian and then stood up. Then she asked in a chilly voice, "Has she consumed any incompatible herbal medicines?"

Lilian was taken aback and replied, "No, she's only been taking the prescription provided by Ms. Geller. Dr. Mosley examined it and assured that it was safe."

"Which Ms. Geller are you referring to?" Gianna furrowed her brows and asked.

"It's your sister, Alisa."

Gianna still had no clue.

It wasn't that she deliberately forgot about Alisa; it was simply that Alisa was a stranger to her. When there was no need to recall her, she simply didn't remember who she was.

"Let me take a look at the prescription." Gianna didn't dwell on the topic and requested to examine the prescription herself to see what went wrong.

Seeing that Lilian's condition had improved, Ellen knew that Gianna was skilled and handed over the prescription.

As Gianna read through it, her expression grew grim. She said angrily, "This is absurd!"

She sounded furious, which startled everyone in the room.

Dr. Mosley, who had been deeply impressed by Gianna's acupuncture skills earlier, quickly inquired, "Is there a problem with the prescription?"

He had sensed that something was off with the prescription earlier, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Pointing to two of the ingredients, Gianna said in a cold voice, "If taken separately, these two herbs are beneficial, but when combined, they become toxic! They induce vomiting, diarrhea, and then a high fever. Ms. Pyne first experienced vomiting and diarrhea before the high fever. If I had arrived even a few minutes later, she might have been beyond saving."
