Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 7

Astrid wanted to chew out the old man, but considering the hefty pay he'd always given her, she figured she'd treat it as some extra dough.

After a few seconds of thought, Astrid started typing, "I demand 80% of the reward."

Dr. Conrad, "Don't be so cold-hearted. Leave 30% for your old teacher."

Astrid raised an eyebrow, "Haggling, huh? Alright then, I want the whole reward, or get ready to bid farewell to your first love."

Dr. Conrad, "Well, fine, after all I've done for you, this is how you repay me...I..."

Before Dr. Conrad could wrap up his sob story, Astrid hung up the call.

She took a quick shower, then picked up her phone to see that Dr. Conrad had already sent the patient's details and address.

She rummaged around her room for the necessary medical tools, packed them into a small bag, and thought about the shooting she was about to join. She put on a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Once she was ready, she casually left her apartment.

In a villa in Sunhaven.

Top-notch doctors from all over the place had already arrived, but none of them could do anything. The old lady lying in bed was as pale as a ghost, completely bloodless. Seemed like she could kick the bucket at any moment.

There was a knock on the door. The young man in the room immediately rushed to open it, only to find not the miraculous doctor he'd been eagerly awaiting, but Elio.

He let out a sigh, "Elio, you're here?"

Elio nodded lightly, "How's the situation? Did the specialist I called have any solution?"

"No, all hope now rests on Aster the Savior," Wylie said with a troubled look. "The specialists have all heard of Aster, but none have actually seen him. I'm really worried."

"The miracle worker has already agreed to come, let's wait a bit..." Before Elio could finish, he heard a commotion from the courtyard.
