Chapter 30 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

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

“Right!”

Phillip suddenly remembered something, pulled out a delicate little wooden box, opened it to reveal a gorgeous crown necklace.

“This was one of the favorite pieces of jewelry of Romeo’s grandmother… She said that if one day Romeo brings a girl home, this must be given to her.” The crown on the necklace was made up of 999 top grade diamonds, looking extremely magnificent.

Mirabella knew this necklace had made headlines worldwide back in its day, because it was made of top–grade diamonds and designed by a top–notch designer. Back in that era, such a necklace cost three hundred million!

Now, the value of this necklace had gone up even more.

“Such a precious gift, I can’t accept…”

Mirabella was refusing, when she heard Phillip say, “This is the greeting gift from Romeo’s grandmother to her future daughter–in–law, you must accept! If she was here, she’d surely put it on you herself…”

Mentioning his wife, Phillip suddenly seemed a bit sorrowful.

Mirabella noticed he looked quite sad, and couldn’t help but turn to look at Romeo.

Romeo explained lightly, “A few years ago, grandma had a car accident and has been in a coma since.”

Though she was alive, it was no different from being dead.

Couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, had no sense of pain…

Even though they had invited many famous doctors, none could cure grandma’s condition.

“Romeo, you put it on Mirabella.”

Hearing this, Mirabella felt a little moved.

“Alright Phillip, let’s not talk about this today since Miss Mirabella is here.” Brodie feared that the old man would be too sad and his condition would worsen.

“Yes, Mirabella’s here, let’s not talk about this!” Phillip managed another smile.

“Come, let me put it on for you.” Romeo took out the necklace and leaned closer to Mirabella.

Mirabella could smell the faint fragrance on him. She wanted to refuse, but seeing the old man’s expectant eyes and remembering his words just now, she couldn’t bring herself to reject him.

“You look great.” Romeo looked at Mirabella’s face. Her features were delicate, her eye’s bright, and the gorgeous crown hung on her slender white neck, as if it was tailor–made for her.

“It suits you.” Romeo raised his eyebrows, his eyes as gentle as water.

“If only your grandma could see all this.”

Mirabella replied, “If things remain stable, then it can be done in three more days.”

“Can you come pick me up? We can go visit your Grandma together.”

Mirabella thought for a moment, “Alright.”

Mirabella felt that it was about time to pay her Grandma a visit, maybe she could lend a hand.

Phillip’s mood brightened when he heard Mirabella had agreed. They talked for a long time. Then as they were leaving, Mirabella pulled a delicate little bottle out of her pocket. “Grandpa, this is for you.”

Phillip hadn’t expected a gift, he accepted it with joy and asked expectantly, “What is it?”

“It’s a sweet pill, take one a month, for six months straight. It can guarantee your health, live to 100 years old.”

“Ha ha, really? That must be expensive, huh? Bella, where did you find such a treasure?” Phillip hadn’t expected his granddaughter–in–law to be so thoughtful. He had everything he needed, except his health…”

What he wanted most now was longevity.

Unexpectedly, Bella was so thoughtful, knowing what mattered to him the most!

“Can I eat one now?” Phillip couldn’t wait, he popped open the bottle and tried to pour out one pill. He got too excited and poured out a few. Carl glanced at the design on the pills, nearly dropping his glasses in shock. Weren’t these the highly sought after “Time–defying Potion” from the auction?

It was said to be a health tonic, prolonging life. Only one was auctioned every three to five months…

Each one cost half a million…

The question was, how did Miss Mirabella come by so many of these precious, rare things?

Looking at the quantity, she’d have to have been buying them for ten years straight!

But, Mirabella didn’t need these at her age….

Why would she spend so much on something she didn’t need? And keep them on her all the time?

Unless…

She made these pills herself?!

So she could have as many as she wanted whenever she wanted!

When he realized this possibility, Carl looked at Romeo in disbelief. Romeo also seemed to know where the pills came from, his expression deepening.

It seemed that the little lady might be the famous one everyone’d been talking about, the Medicine genius.

She might have made the hot drugs at auction in the past… This also explained why she was near the church by the auction that day.

Because she’d gone to the auction that day too.

Thinking of this, Romeo smiled. He hadn’t expected Mirabella to have so many alter egos, one after another, it was a surprise.

“Phillip, You’re in luck!” Carl couldn’t help but say.

“It’s true.” Phillip tasted one, “It’s sweet, I’m really lucky! My granddaughter–in–law gave me so many, they’re really tasty! Bella, is it a problem if I eat a lot? Can I have one every day?”

Carl: “No…”

Romeo: “Nope.”

Phillip looked at them both, puzzled, “Why not?”

Carl seemed to have something to say but stopped himself, such an expensive sweet, one a day, that was quite a luxury…

Romeo added, “Bella once said, you can only have one a month.”

“Alright then…”

Just at that moment, Mirabella’s phone buzzed, it was Caden who was calling. “Sorry, I gotta take this call.” Mirabella got up and walked out of the ward.

“Mirabella, I heard you’re in the hospital?” Caden’s voice came through the phone.

“Anything up?” replied Mirabella casually.

“Grace woke up for a bit today,” whispered Caden, “Only for a few minutes, but during those minutes, she was muttering your name….”

“She wanted to call you, but I stopped her.”

“You know how her condition is, any excitement could cause trouble, so I had to stop her.”

Grace was most concerned about Mirabella, and the first thing she did after waking up was to check on Mirabella. Even if Mirabella didn’t mention what Demetrius and Olga had been up to behind her back, just hearing Mirabella’s voice would make Grace cry…

If she got too excited, she could lose her life, and all the previous treatment would be for naught.

“Are you still at the hospital? Why don’t you come and see her? Check out the medical report from today, too.”

“Alright.”

“I just finished a meeting, I’ll bring the report to find you.”

“Okay.” After hanging up, Mirabella headed towards Grace’s ward.

Grace was still unconscious, but her hand was tightly clutching a bracelet, the first thing Mirabella bought for her with her own money.

Mirabella gently held her frail hand, the person on the bed seemed to sense her arrival, her fingers moved slightly.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

The arriving Olga saw Mirabella, first stunned, then angrily said, “What are you doing here again? Who let you in? Are you hanging around here every day, waiting for the old lady to wake up and take you back to the Melton family? Dream on!”

Demetrius saw Mirabella, a complex look in his eyes. He didn’t expect this kid to be so persistent, sneaking into the hospital every day when they were hot around, just to stay in Summerfield.

It’s unnecessary!

She’s not a real child of Melton family!

“Demetrius, I bet she’s using our daughter’s name to get in and out of the ward freely. You have to tell the nurse, she has no blood ties with our family. Our daughter is Yoli. They can’t let her in when they see her.”

Demetrius had the same suspicion, otherwise why would she be able to come and go freely here? She must have told the nurse she’s a Melton, Grace’s own granddaughter!

Seeing Mirabella show no signs of leaving, Olga couldn’t help but yell, “What are you still doing here? Get out! Do I have to kick you out?”

The patient needs quiet,” Mirabella stood up calmly, she wasn’t planning to stay long anyways. The old lady was about to wake up, her presence would only upset the old lady’s condition.

Watching Mirabella’s retreating figure, Olga got angrier. She happened to bring a bag today, she clutched the handle and suddenly hurled it at Mirabella’s back.

Just in that instant, Mirabella was pulled back by a hand, and the bag landed on the floor.

Olga saw who it was and both she and Demetrius were very shocked, “It’s Dr. Caden?”

“So that’s how you treat the person who saved your mother’s life?” Caden’s handsome face was filled with coldness, even his eyes were very icy.
