Chapter 307
Bernice did not expect Astrid to disregard their past friendship, and she was left speechless. “Star…”
“He is indeed sick, but not to the extent that he could die at any time. To tell you the truth, he’s just pretending to be seriously ill to gain my sympathy.”
“Bernice, did you forget that I was once a medical student? I’ve already read Hawthorne’s medical records. As long as he doesn’t hurt himself on purpose, he can still live for at least another decade.”
“He tries to gain my sympathy by starving himself, then let him starve!”
After saying those, Astrid slammed the door shut and stormed off.
Bernice stood where she was, her face of sadness quickly faded. She wiped the tears from her face, her eyes filled with sorrow.
In the corridor, Gaines saw Astrid coming out and immediately asked, “How’s Bernice?”
“She’s awake, you guys can go rest now,” Astrid said. Gaines, along with everyone else, breathed a sigh of relief.
Gaines pointed at Randal who was holding a small megaphone, “Astrid, he…”
Astrid cut him off, “It’s just an anesthetic for his vocal cords with a bit of hot sauce, he will recover in a few hours. If Randal talks nonsense about me next time, I might just throw some sulfuric acid into his mouth.”
Sulfuric acid?
Randal got chills all over his body from Astrid’s cold gaze. He did not expect Astrid to know medical techniques!
Even Dr. Eaton was helpless with Bernice’s condition, but Astrid managed to cure her.
