Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 The Interloping Third Party

Declan gave Charlotte a strange look and suddenly said, "You seem to have a gaming talent. Want to add me as a friend so that we can play together?"

Charlotte shook her head and answered, "I don't have time to play games."

Declan rolled his eyes, "If you're eighteen, you should still be in school. How come you don't have time?"

Charlotte puffed her cheeks, "I don't have time! I need to study medicine!"

Declan clicked his tongue, "Just add me as a friend, and we can play together when you have time. I can gift you the suit of the character... Not to brag, but I have all kinds of suits on several of my accounts!"

Charlotte was speechless.

Declan had already shown his QR code and said, "Scan it."

Charlotte glanced at his phone and then took out her phone to scan the QR code. Although she had no intention of playing games with him.

It wasn't about the time actually, it was just that his gaming skills were too awful!

Coincidentally, at that moment, Matthew returned. Upon seeing Charlotte, he asked, "How is she doing?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "She has some issues of her own, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Matthew's handsome and cold face remained expressionless. He closed his eyes and said, "That's difficult."

Charlotte didn't say a word.

Matthew nodded to Declan and said, "Then, we'll make our move first."

Before Declan could say anything, Sienna already spoke up, "I told you. Look at her! What makes you think that she will be able to make any diagnosis? I guess it's not that Fiona has a problem. It's just that your medical skills are inadequate, right?"

Only then did Charlotte notice that Sienna had been in the living room all that time. She had been too concentrate in playing games with Declan earlier and hadn't paid attention to her.

She glanced at Sienna and was completely unable to understand why she held such strong animosity towards her as they had just met. Charlotte hesitated for a moment and said, "I believe the previous doctor must have given the same diagnosis as I did, right?"

Sienna hesitated for a moment and sneered, "That's why I said they're all a bunch of quacks!"

Charlotte said, "Ms. Ryker, if you know nothing about medicine, then don't simply make any comments."

"Me commenting simply?" Sienna sneered, "I've seen many mediocre doctors like you. You know that my family is wealthy and powerful, so you want to take advantage of it and make some money. In fact, you have no skills at all. You have no difference from those frauds who are selling fake remedies!"

Charlotte bit her lip and tightly gripped the handle of her small suitcase. She was upset.

That was what it would be like for being a doctor. If she successfully treated the patient, it was what she was supposed to do. If she couldn't save them, she would be considered a mediocre doctor, incompetent, and be blamed for harming lives.

In the face of accusations from patients' family members, there was no room for argument.

If she tried to explain the symptoms to them, they wouldn't understand a thing.

If she discussed pharmacology with them, they'd say that was the doctor's business.

Since she was a child, her grandfather and mother taught her that the most important thing for a doctor was to maintain a steady mindset, but after so many years of studying, she still hadn't learned it.

Charlotte took a deep breath and looked at Sienna. If her grandfather encountered a situation like that, he'd probably just smiled and let it go, but she couldn't respond in the same way.

"Ms. Ryker," Charlotte looked directly into her eyes, "As doctors, we heal and support the wounded, but we are not gods. We do not possess the power to bring the dead back to life. We only fight against death, trying our best to save a life from its grasp. Since the first time I came here until now, I haven't accepted a single penny from your family, nor have I made any promises that I can cure Fiona. I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand how you can confidently accuse me of taking advantage of your family."
