Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Olga was the first to regain her composure and wasted no time in questioning Mirabella, “What are you doing here? Haven’t you gone back to your biological parents? You can’t seriously be thinking of begging Grace to let you stay in this city or, worse, come live at our house. Forget about it!”
Demetrius was equally taken aback by Mirabella’s presence, asking, “Bella, what’s going on? Didn’t you go back with your family?”
Olga, with a disgusted expression, jumped to conclusions about Mirabella’s motives, “I bet she never really left! She probably heard about the harsh living) conditions at home on her way back and couldn’t bear it, so she ran back here to beg Grace for help!”
Frustrated, Olga urged Demetrius to intervene, and he reluctantly stepped forward with a forced smile, attempting to resolve the situation, “Bella, can we talk? How much money do you want?”
Mirabella observed her once–close family members now showing their true colors and couldn’t help but feel a sense of amusement, her lips curling.
slightly.
They want to buy her off?
Seeing her silent, Demetrius took a bank card out of his pocket. “Here’s a hundred thousand dollars. Take it. The password is 123456.”
“Demetrius!” Olga was pained at his generosity, “Why are you giving her so much money?”
Demetrius signaled Olga to be quiet. If they didn’t give Mirabella enough money, how would she agree to leave?
She had stolen Yoli’s expensive ruby necklace yesterday, and today she was getting a large sum of money. She would leave, right?
A hint of mockery flickered in Mirabella’s beautiful eyes as she looked at the bank card in his hand. She remained silent and didn’t react. “What? You think it’s too little?” Olga asked discontentedly, “I advise you to be contént. Otherwise, you might end up with nothing!”
Demetrius tried to shove the bank card into her hand, but Mirabella skillfully avoided it.
“What do you want? You want to wait for Grace to wake up and deceive her? Dream on!” Olga never thought Mirabella would be so difficult. “Let me tell you, from now on, you have nothing to do with Grace! Stay away from us.”
“One billion.” Mirabella’s lips curled slightly, she said word by word, “I might consider it.”
“You, you must be daydreaming!” Olga was so angry she nearly fainted. The girl’s first word was one billion, “Why don’t you rob a bank?”
“Robbing a bank isn’t as fast as robbing you guys.”
“You, you…” Olga clutched her chest, never imagining the girl would be so cunning, “I won’t give you a penny!”
She grabbed the bank card back, “If you don’t leave, I’ll have you thrown out!”
“Oh, then call someone to throw me out.”
“You, you… You’re killing me! This so–called VIP floor, letting anyone in…” Olga was about to go find staff.
“Mirabella.”
Suddenly, a man’s voice caught their attention.
Olga looked up to see a man at the end of the corridor looking this way, apparently calling Mirabella’s name.
It was a tall man with a strong presence, even from this distance.
Mirabella heard the voice and looked towards it. Seeing Romeo waiting for her, she didn’t bother with the two any longer and turned to leave.
“Who is that man?” Olga looked curiously down the hallway. “Could he be her father? That’s impossible; her father’s voice couldn’t be that young…” “Maybe he’s her brother. She have five unmarried brothers. Wasn’t it mentioned earlier that her grandmother was sick? He could be staying in this hospital as well.”
“Can they afford to stay here?” Olga watched them disappear at the end of the corridor and couldn’t help but ask Demetrius, “Demetrius, we must quickly transfer Grace to another hospital; otherwise, if Mirabella gets attached to her, it’ll be a big problem!”
Demetrius had the same thought, but within all of Summerfield, no other hospital had medical resources as good as Hope Hospital. Only here could Grace receive the best care.
“Grace likes her… I’m just afraid Grace will soften her heart and let her come back to this family!”
Olga recalled three months ago when Grace found out Mirabella wasn’t her biological granddaughter, her heart couldn’t take it and she fainted. Upon waking up, Grace sternly declared that as long as she was alive, Mirabella was not allowed to leave this family. Anyone who made Mirabella leave would be considered an enemy of Grace.
Later, when Yoli returned home, Grace didn’t show her any kindness either. Her heart and eyes were only for this unrelated little girl.
In order to protect Yoli and to help Mirabella find her home as soon as possible, without Grace Melton’s knowledge, the two of them posted Mirabella’s information on the family search site. One day, Mirabella’s family finally called to say they wanted to take her home.
When Grace found out, she was so shocked that she had to be hospitalized.
During Grace’s absence from home, Mirabella smoothly left the Melton family.
“Grace is probably getting a bit senile in her old age. She treats a stranger better than her own granddaughter!” Olga complained, “Now I’m just worried that if Mirabella doesn’t leave, she might get some improper ideas, like fighting Yoli over Zachary Panter…”
The Panter family was much better off than the Melton family!
Zachary was kind and sensible. He treasured Yoli and treated her very well..
Not only was Yoli beautiful, but she also had a gentle and kind personality, which was why she could firmly grasp Zachary’s heart.
“Demetrius, shall we go and find our primary doctor, Dr. Caden, and ask him to arrange a transfer procedure for us?”
“We have no other choice, Demetrius sighed.
“Let’s go.” Mirabella followed behind Romeo, phone in hand, replying to messages one by one.
She had been to an auction in the afternoon, performed surgery on Phillip, and still had a lot of messages that she hadn’t replied to in time.
Just then, someone pushing a wheelchair came around the corner, nearly bumping into Mirabella.
Romeo pulled her to his side in one swift motion, “Be careful.”
Mirabella reacted, her face flushing again. In the car, Romeo noticed that Mirabella seemed a bit listless. So, he pulled over.
“Wait for me ȧ moment.”
He got out of the car and walked into a dessert shop.
Not long after, he came out carrying several bags.
Inside were small cakes, bread, milk, juice and other things, as well as some cute–looking candies.
“Girls are supposed to like this stuff, he handed them over.
Having performed surgery on his grandpa for so long today, Mirabella was probably hungry.
As Mirabella was about to say something, looking at all the food in front of her, Romeo leaned in and opened a bottle of milk, sticking a straw in it for her. Mirabella, I’m not hungry.”
“Eat more.” Romeo handed her the milk.
Mirabella took the milk and took a few sips. Even though it was pure milk, she didn’t expect it to taste a bit sweet.
On the other side.
“Dr. Caden, what do you mean the approval was denied?” Olga found Caden Newton, and as soon as she brought up the transfer, Caden’s face turned cold.
“Grace should stay at Hope Hospital in her condition.”
“Isn’t there a better hospital?” Demetrius couldn’t help but ask.
“Hope Hospital is the best hospital in the country.”
“We know, everyone can see the medical standards of Hope Hospital, but…”
Before Demetrius could finish his sentence, Olga stepped in, “Dr. Caden, we have no choice. If we don’t transfer my mother, I’m afraid someone will keep disturbing her and affect her recovery…”
Caden gave her a cold look. Was she talking about Mirabella?
Ungrateful indeed.
Bella has done so much for the Melton family, but what have they done for her as children in return?
Caden coldly asked, “If you really cared about Grace, you would have come when the nurse called you at 9 am. Why did you wait until now?”
“We, we had some stuff to deal with…
Mainly, Olga had a spa date with some posh ladies and Demetrius was off playing golf with some high–ups from his company…
By the time evening rolled around, the housemaid had already prepared dinner. Of course, they gotta eat while it’s hot!
So they only rushed over after finishing their meal.
“Because there are things to deal with, do you not care about the life and death of the old lady?”
Olga and Demetrius felt extremely awkward hearing Caden’s words.
“I can sign the transfer papers, but I need to inform you that the médical resources and doctors at other hospitals are nowhere near as good as Hope hospital. Once Grace leaves Hope hospital, I predict she won’t last a week. You should prepare yourselves mentally.”
Upon hearing this, Demetrius’s expression became serious, “Dr. Caden, is there any other better solution? Such as ensuring Grace’s health when she leaves the hospital?”
“There is.”
Upon hearing this, Demetrius immediately perked up, “Dr. Caden, do tell, I’m all ears.
“There’s a drug on the market that can save Grace’s life…
“Go on, I’m taking notes.” Demetrius quickly took out a small notebook, pulled out a pen from his pocket, and uncapped it.
“It can only be purchased on the black market. Each pill costs a million, and she needs to take it twice a month. Only after three months of consecutive use can surgery be performed.”
After hearing this, Demetrius and Olga exchanged glances. A million? So, that’s six million in three months?!
“Are drugs that expensive nowadays?”
