Chapter 24 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

“It’s made from very rare medicinal ingredients, so it’s particularly scarce.”

Demetrius silently put away his notebook and pen, “In that case, I’ve decided not to transfer her. We’ll have to trouble you more in the future…”

The reason they wanted to save Grace was firstly because she holds 30% of the company’s shares, worth 30 million. But this sky–high price for the drug was clearly not worth it.

Secondly, Grace favored Mirabella. If she wasn’t in her right mind and gave her shares to Mirabella…

They might make the old lady leave a will giving all her shares to Yoli before she died.

That’s why they wanted to save the old lady.

Mirabella had often helped the Melton family through crises because Grace owned shares in the company. Otherwise, she wouldn’t give a damn about Demetrius’s life and death…

But the people of the Melton family didn’t know this. They thought they’re all that, able to become the richest family in Tranquil City….

Demetrius secretly slipped the bank card he had previously given to Mirabella into the medical record in front of Caden.

This small move was caught by Caden, making him despise Demetrius even more.

“Mr. Melton, are you trying to get me fired, or even put in jail?”

It was important to know that medical staff took advantage of their positions to accept bribes in private, which was a crime of accepting bribes. If the amount was large, they might even go to jail.

“Dr. Caden, you get me wrong…” Demetrius quickly laughed and cautiously said, “We’re not asking you to violate your professional ethics. This is just a small token of our appreciation. We know you’ve been working hard recently, and this money… you can use it to buy some health supplements…”

“Yeah, Dr. Caden, just take it!”

“Take it away. Caden didn’t take a second look, his tone was indifferent, “Someone told me, I will naturally work hard, and you don’t need to do any more. unnecessary things, you can go out now.”

“Dr. Caden…”

Olga wanted to say more, but Demetrius quickly took back the card, laughing it off as if nothing had happened, “Alright, we’ll leave now. If Dr. Caden needs anything in the future, just let me know anytime…”

If it weren’t for Bella, Caden would have kicked them out a long time ago.

“Dr. Caden really has a nasty temper.. Olga couldn’t help but comment as she stepped out of the consulting room, “Look at Zachary, he is a rich boy, but he’s so educated…”

“He’s a genius doctor who’s been spoiled and pampered since he was a kid, so his arrogance is understandable.”

“Speaking of which, Dr. Caden mentioned that someone asked him to pay special attention to Grace’s condition. Must be the Panter family, right?” With their extensive connections, the Zachary family were the only ones who could help with Grace’s condition.

Plus, Zachary and Yoli were engaged…

“It has to be the Panter family. Who else could it be? We should thank them at some point, but…” Feeling a bit downcast with the inability to transfer Grace to another hospital, Demetrius could only let her continue her treatment here.

“Demetrius, is that the direction the girl earlier took?”

Suddenly, Olga seemed to think of something, “I remember that the wards over there are quite expensive?” Half of this floor was for regular VIPs, and the other half for top–tier VIPs.

Grace got to stay in the regular VIP because they brought it up on the Panter family, it was estimated that the Panter family helped them.

But the top–tier VIP was a different story, not everyone with–money could afford it..

How could that girl afford to stay there?

She didn’t know anyone important!

“Dad, mom.”

Just then, a gentle voice rang out.

“Yoli, how did you come?” Turning around, Olga found not only her daughter came, even Zachary came together as well.

Zachary’s appearance and temperament were very good, and Olga was more and more satisfied. With such a son–in–law, her smile was always on her lips! “Zach, you came too!”

Upon spotting them, Zachary courteously greeted, “Hello“,”

“Hello…” Demetrius returned the greeting warmly, “Weren’t you two on a date? Why are you here in the hospital?”

“We were going to watch a movie, but I heard from our housemaid that the hospital called us, so I thought something happened to Grace, and came to check on her. Zachary still hasn’t left after sending me home, still at our door…” So, they came together.

“Dad, mom, how’s grandma?” Yolanda was quite the performer in front of everyone: Despite her disdain for her biased grandma, she knew how to play her part, “I think I saw my sister downstairs just now?”

That familiar figure stepping out of the VIP elevator, but she didn’t see clearly..

Hearing her mentioned Mirabella, Zachary was taken aback. Didn’t they say Mirabella returned to her biological family? Why was she here?

Olga and Demetrius both had grim expressions.

“Her…let’s not discuss her right now. Your grandma is fine, the hospital just wanted us to pay some additional fees…Since you’re here, why don’t you go in and see her? Maybe your care and love can give her some strength…”

Zachary and Yolanda shared a glance before walking hand in hand into the ward,

Grace on the bed was nothing but skin and bones, looking extremely frail.

Tears welled up in Yolanda’s eyes, “I was only gone for two days, and grandma has become so weak…”

In truth, her “two days” wasn’t accurate. It had been quite a while since she last visited.

“Why does grandma have to suffer like this, why can’t all the pain be transferred to me, why…”

Seeing her tears, Zachary quickly wiped them away, “Silly, you’ve already been through a lot…”

“I’m not afraid, as long as grandma can recover, I’m willing to bear all the pain for her!”

Looking at her kind and determined face, Zachary was deeply moved, and his love for her grew even stronger.

“If I don’t go home, the woman marrying Zachary would be my sister. I’d be seen as the one who wrecked my sister’s happiness, and for that, God would deliberately punish my family who I care about. If that’s the case, I don’t want to be this rich girl anymore, I don’t want to marry Zachary either…”

“You’re a Melton, and going back to the Melton family is your duty, marrying me was because of our engagement, you haven’t done anything wrong.”

As the night fell, Romeo’s car was speeding through the traffic, heading towards Emerald Park.

During this time, his phone kept buzzing. He glanced at the caller ID for the first time, then hit the button on the steering wheel, hanging up the call. But the person on the other end of the line didn’t seem to give up, calling again and again.

“Just let me get off at the front, please.” Mirabella thought her presence was making it difficult for Romeo to take the call, and was about to get out, but heard him explain, “It’s a nuisance call.”

The nuisance calls kept buzzing…

Finally, to keep Mirabella comfortable in the car, Romeo had no choice but to put on his earphones and answer the call.

“Romeo, you finally picked up my call…”

Serena on the other end of the line was sobbing hard.

“I really didn’t know that your grandpa would have such a big issue as soon as I left. It wasn’t on purpose, I heard that HeartRevive in soup has a great effect on treating heart disease. So, I carefully made a pot of soup with Heart Revive and gave it to him….thought it would help your grandpa, but I didn’t expect it to worsen his condition….It’s all because of that medicine seller who defrauded me, he sold me the medicine and I didn’t check it, I was fooled…. If I knew the medicine had issues, I definitely wouldn’t have bought it, let alone let your grandpa have it! Romeo, you have to believe me… I consider you as family and your grandpa as my own grandpa, I would never harm him…”

“Are you done? Romeo didn’t have the patience to listen to her sobbing, after she finished, he hung up the call.

After taking off the earphone, Romeo continued to drive, noticing from the corner of his eye that Mirabella looked a bit awkward, he asked, “What’s up?” “That person seemed to be crying really hard. I could hear it….

While Mirabella didn’t know why that person was crying, she felt that person seemed really pitiful…

That was the person who hurt my grandpa calling to plead.” Romeo explained softly.

“Okay…” Mirabella saw that they were near Emerald Park and said, “Please drop me off here.”

“It’s already dark, I’ll drop you off at the garage.”

“No need.”

Mirabella didn’t want others to see her car. The license plate was too conspicuous.

Next time she’d choose a more low–key car.

“Are you sure you can manage alone?”

Romeo saw that the park wasn’t completely built yet, and there weren’t many streetlights at night, most places were pitch black.

Even the road to the garage was very dark.

She was a girl. Wouldn’t she be scared?

“I’m not scared.”

Mirabella clearly didn’t care about her surroundings. She’d been through way more hellish situations, too many times to count. She was getting ready to unbuckle her seatbelt.

“I got it.” Romeo moved closer, his aura was downright comforting.

At this close distance, Mirabella noticed his features were pretty damn attractive, even his skin was ridiculously smooth.

Romeo lifted his head, his deep eyes seriously looking at her, “Tell me when you get the time.”

“Sure.”

Romeo got out of the car first to open the door for her. After she got out, he slung her shoulder bag on her and handed her the stuff he’d bought earlier. “You can eat this if you get hungry tonight.”

Mirabella was about to refuse, but looking into his eyes, she took the things anyway.

However the next second…Her fingers accidentally brushed against Romeo’s hand, the soft touch made her heart race.
