Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Prescription

Rachel anxiously stood by the bed with a pale face. Outsiders might think she was filial. But she was so worried because Madame Clark was her only protection umbrella in the Clark family. If Madame Clark died, no one would regard her as the young lady of the Clark family any longer. And the blow would be devastating. So, she hoped Madame Clark would recover more than anyone else.

The woman lying on the bed had crooked eyes, hemiplegia, and numbness on one side of her body. She was suffering from a stroke. So, she was no longer bossy or arrogant.

Nelson casually glanced at her and said, "Since you said we should send her to the hospital, let's go."

Matthew said, "People who suffer from a stroke could not withstand the wind. I will ask the servants to bring some quilts over."

Charlotte suddenly stepped forward, pushed Rachel away, and sat on the bed. Then, she reached out to lift Madame Clark's eyelids, checked the whites of the eyes, and whispered, "Madame Clark, open your mouth."

Madame Clark's consciousness was fuzzy, so she subconsciously opened her mouth. Charlotte took a closer look and found her tongue was dark red with a thin white coating.

She picked up Madame Clark's skinny wrist to feel the pulse. Feeling the skipping pulse, she furrowed her delicate eyebrows, turned around to look at Scarlet kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Does Madame Clark often feel dizzy and irritable and have headaches? Does she stammer?"

Scarlet froze for a moment and frantically nodded, "Yes! You're right!"

Rachel who had pushed away flew into a rage after seeing Charlotte touch Madame Clark. So, she angrily said, "What are you doing? If anything happens to Grandma, can you bear the consequence?"

Charlotte ignored her and frowned, "Cinnamon Twig Syndrome can be caused by many factors, such as emotional depression, poor diet, overwork, climate change, and blood stasis. Madame Clark's stroke may be caused by emotional depression, anger, and climate change. We have missed the best time for treatment, so it will not help even if we send her to the hospital now."

Rachel was stunned to hear her words and shouted, "Do you think we should let her stay here instead of sending her to the hospital? Charlotte, stop being alarmist! I know you have learned a little medicine at home. But Madame Clark is noble. You should not have used her illness to show off! She suffers from emotional depression and anger because of you!"

She was so anxious that she was speaking without thinking. Although Nelson was present, she still harshly scolded Charlotte.

Charlotte paused and lowered her eyes. It wasn't because of Rachel's scolding but because she suddenly remembered Mr. Clark and her grandma were on bad terms. She had not exaggerated anything. Stroke could kill people. Madame Clark had been suffering from a stroke for a long time. If they send her to the hospital now, she might die on the way. So, it would be useless.

Charlotte had read many medical books of the Moore family, so she had the confidence to save her life. But she was afraid...

Thinking of this, she raised her clear eyes to look at Nelson. She was afraid if she rescued Madame Clark, he would be unhappy.

A smile suddenly appeared on Nelson's expressionless face. He slowly stroked his chin with his fingers, looked at Charlotte, and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Charlotte bit her lower lip, and her shellfish-like teeth left a white mark on her red lips. She didn't speak, but he understood the look in her eyes.

So, he indifferently said, "You can do whatever you want."

He sounded as if he did not care whether Elizabeth would die at all.
