Arabella handed over the medicine, saying, "Here's a three-day supply. Take it twice a day, so that's six packs in total."
Some patients needed to be fed through a nasal feeding tube, but Shirley can swallow, so she can drink liquid food.
Romeo didn't expect her to be ready so quickly; he touched her face with concern and asked, "Didn't you take a break when you got home?"
"I'm alright; I slept a lot on the plane," Arabella said casually. "I have things to do; I gotta bounce."
"What else do you need to do?" Romeo didn't want to let go of her. "I can help."
Arabella wanted to say he couldn't help, but she was afraid he would follow her secretly, so she could only say, "It's nothing big, just some stuff for work."
"You're dealing with work as soon as you got back?" Romeo grew even more worried; he touched her face again and said, "Let me give you a lift then."
"It's cool; I'll drive myself." Arabella glanced at the time and reminded him in a calm voice, "Don't forget to give Granny her meds."
"Alright." Romeo accompanied her to the car, giving her a word of caution; "Drive safe; call me if anything comes up; don't try to shoulder everything alone."
"I got it."
Romeo watched as she sped off, impressed by her competence and versatility.
Girls her age were usually still studying, but she was already a skilled driver with her own career.
Derek watched Arabella drive away and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, should we have someone check the medicine Ms. Bella prepared for Shirley? Was it prescribed by a doctor?"
It wasn't that he didn't trust Ms. Bella, but no doctor had been able to find a cure for Shirley's illness over these years.
Even James Newton was helpless.
Now that the old lady was on her deathbed, they had to be extremely cautious with her medication.
Derek was worried that, because of her young age, Ms. Bella could have been tricked into buying counterfeit drugs without realizing it.
"No one's meds work better than hers."
Upon hearing Romeo's high praise, Derek was stunned. "Did Ms. Bella prescribe the medicine herself?"
