Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
The driver occasionally glanced at her through the rear-view mirror, the more he looked, the more she reminded him of madam when she was young. Every move she made radiated beauty.
“Aren’t we going to Willow Creek?” Mirabella suddenly asked, her gaze falling on the driver.
“Willow Creek?” The driver snapped back to reality, “Oh… that’s the mister’s hometown. Your home is in Summerfield.”
Summerfield, the most economically developed city in the country.
The city was divided into four districts: East, West, South, and North, with the North being the least developed.
There were four counties in the North: Misty Hollow, Lavender Hill, Golden Fields, and Seraphim Haven, with Seraphim being the least developed.
Below Seraphim Haven were four towns: Sapphire City, Emerald City, Golden City, and Tranquil City.
Demetrius was the richest man in Tranquil City. After accumulating his wealth over a long time, Demetrius finally moved from a third-tier city to Summerfield this year. He became the richest man in Tranquil City, the least developed place in Summerfield.
Compared to wealthier areas, his wealth might have seemed insignificant, but compared to other poorer areas, he was pretty wealthy.
His personal wealth had exceeded ten million dollars, which was why his wife Olga was so arrogant and looked down on others.
After Yolanda walked into the room, she unintentionally glanced out the window. What she saw left her in complete shock. “Mom, their car…”
“What about it?” Olga followed her gaze, then nonchalantly said, “Yoli, I’m telling you, from now on, you and Mirabella have nothing to do with each other! You can’t treat her like your sister anymore, you need to delete and block all her contact info. Even if she tries to borrow money from you through other means, you can’t lend her any, got it?”
“No… Mom. What I meant was, the license plate of that car, seems like it’s from our city. It looks like the plate number starts with S-A… followed by five 1’s?”
In Summerfield, such a plate number was quite noticeable!
Since the car was parked in front of their mansion, Olga only saw the side of the car and not the license plate. But hearing Yolanda’s description, she just laughed, thinking her daughter was too naive.
“Yoli, you gotta know, in our town, anyone with a license plate that has five of the same numbers is a big shot! Mirabella’s family lives in Willow Creek, you must’ve got it twisted!”
Olga thought to herself, “Even their car plates are nothing special… How could Mirabella’s family possibly get such a good number?”
“Unless they live in Reflections Villa!” Olga scoffed.
Reflections Villa was the most famous, most expensive, prime residential area in Summerfield, located right in the center of the city, where the land price was sky-high!
In the Rolls Royce, the driver spoke respectfully, “Ms. Bennett, we’re still 20 kilometers away from your home-Reflections Villa. If you’re tired, feel free to take a break.”
Mirabella was surprised to hear this, thinking, “My home is in Reflections Villa? In the priciest villa area in Summerfield?”
“Can we swing by Hope Hospital?”
Hope Hospital was the city hospital, boasting the best medical resources, and not far from Reflections Villa.
“Ms. Bennett, are you feeling unwell?” The driver asked anxiously, “I’ll speed up…”
“I want to visit the Melton family’s grandma.”
In the Melton family, only Grace Melton had been genuinely kind to Mirabella. Since learning that Mirabella wasn’t her biological grandchild, Grace fell ill and was hospitalized.
Aiden didn’t expect her to be such a dutiful child, so he agreed to her request, and his impression of her improved considerably.
Ten minutes later.
Aiden parked the car at the entrance of Hope Hospital. Mirabella whispered to him, “Please wait for me nearby.”
“Sure,” Aiden replied.
In room 301 of Hope Hospital’s inpatient department, a frail old lady with white hair was lying there. Because of her long-term illness, her face looked gaunt, and her figure was skinny.
When Mirabella walked in, the old lady was still in a deep sleep, her eyes tightly closed, her face expressionless. The wrinkles on her brow made her look even more weather-beaten.
Mirabella walked softly to the bedside, a bitter feeling slowly spreading in her heart. When did the once energetic old lady become like this?
“Bella.” The young doctor checking in on the patients looked up at her, then busied himself with some notes, “You’re right on time, we wanted to talk to you.”
He put down his pen, lifted his handsome face, and his attractive eyes stared straight at her.
“As you know, none of the current heart disease treatments are working for the old lady, we used to increase the dosage to prolong the effects, but now even that doesn’t work anymore.”
“You know better than anyone when a person’s heart fails at the end stage of an illness, it’s like the heart’s function has degraded to the point of no return. It’s actually a miracle she’s made it this far…”
Before the doc could finish his sentence, Mirabella chucked a small bottle at him, her gaze never leaving the old woman.
“CircuStrength?” Caden managed to make out what he was holding, asking in shock, “Bella, where did you get this stuff?”-
Isn’t this the mysterious drug that’s been causing a stir on the black market recently? Rumor has it that it worked wonders on heart diseases, and just one pill could cost a whopping hundred grand…
But the hefty price tag wasn’t even the main concern. The main thing was, that this stuff was super rare. Only one pill was auctioned off every month!
How did Bella get her hands on such a rare item?
“The Melton family has treated you so crappy, I think you’ve done more than enough for them. There’s really no need…”
Caden was cut off by Mirabella’s warning look before he could finish his sentence.
“Am I wrong? Their own flesh and blood haven’t taken care of this old woman as much as you have…”
Half a year ago, Caden graduated from a top domestic medical university and came to Hope Hospital for his internship. Being born into a medical family, he was initially arrogant and cocky. But then he met Mirabella and realized that there was always someone better…
Once, he was studying a complex case, staying up late for a few nights in a row and unable to sleep. Mirabella took one look at the case and gave him a great solution in just a few sentences. Another time, Mirabella casually glanced at a patient’s chest X-ray and CT scan and figured out that the patient had lung cancer, while his diagnosis was severe pneumonia. There were plenty more instances like these…
What he admired most was that Grace, a woman on the brink of death, had been brought back by Mirabella time and time again, even when he had determined that she couldn’t be saved through treatment!
Mirabella, this astonishing high school student, always brought an endless shock to him, shattering his arrogance and forcing him to live humbly!
During his six-month internship, Caden also witnessed her being neglected by the Melton family, and later the two became acquainted and soon became friends. He knew that the best solution for Grace’s condition was a heart transplant. But because of her old age and conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure, she simply couldn’t undergo surgery. Mirabella was now giving her CircuStrength in hopes that her physical condition could improve a bit, so she wouldn’t be so frail that she could die at any time.
But the Melton family didn’t know any of this, they thought that as long as they paid the money and put Grace in the most expensive ward, it would be enough to take care of her…
“If the Melton family were to take care of this old lady, they definitely wouldn’t spend a hundred grand to buy this stuff to save her.”
“Alright, keep a good eye on her for me.” Mirabella looked at Grace, and said reluctantly, “I have to go.”
She couldn’t stay here too long. If the old woman woke up and saw her, she would get even more upset. If her condition worsened then, it would be even more difficult to handle.
Caden glanced at her, saying softly, “I’ve got this, don’t worry.”
“Mm.”
Mirabella’s gaze fell on Grannie Grace. Although she had a lot to say, she ended up not saying a word and left room 301.
