Chapter 48
“Let it go.” Attlee didn’t want to stir up a fuss. Being the richest dude in Tranquil City, he needed to keep a good public image and not cause a scene. But Olga speculated, “Did Dr. Caden step up for Arabella because he’s got a thing for her? I found it odd. His attitude towards us was so bad before, probably because of Arabella…”
“Stop it. Let’s go in and see Mother.”
“I don’t know when mom will wake up. I’ve already arranged for the will. Once she signs it, leaving her assets to us and Yoli, I can breathe easy…” “Keep your voice down!” Attlee glared back at her. “What, are you hoping everyone hears?”
Olga quickly clamped her mouth shut and closed the door to the hospital room.
Arabella had no idea why they were visiting. She turned to Caden and said, “I’ve got things to do. You can take off.”
“What about Grace’s medical report…”
“If there are no special circumstances, you can read for yourself.” “Okay.”
Caden noticed a man waiting in front of them with short clean hair, tall figure, exuding an aristocratic aura.
Was that guy Romeo?
Ever since he saved Phillip, Bella seemed to get along well with this guy?
Romeo barely glanced at Caden and focused on Arabella. He asked her in a soft voice, “Is there any trouble?” “Nope.”
“If there’s anything, just let me know. I’ll help you out.”
Arabella looked up at Romeo’s serious expression and said lightly, “It’s nothing, just ran into two people. I’m going to see Grandpa.” “Okay.
Romeo’s gaze followed her into the room, then turned to Caden not far away.
Caden wasn’t sure if he should greet him. Even his grandpa was respectful towards this man..
Just as he was hesitating, Romeo withdrew his gaze and followed Arabella into the room.
“Bella, you didn’t run into any trouble, did you?” Phillip asked with concern when he saw his granddaughter.
“None.”
“If there’s anything, tell Romeo. He’ll help you out! If you’re not satisfied with his handling, you can come to me! I’ll back you up!“. Arabella looked at him and said, “Okay.”
Before leaving, Phillip was reluctant to let go, reminding her over and over, “Bella, don’t forget our agreement. I’m getting discharged the day after tomorrow, you must come.”
“I will.”
After leaving the hospital, Arabella asked about the condition of Romeo’s grandmother.
“She sustained a brain injury.” Romeo replied solemnly, “Apart from being able to breathe and blink on her own, her other symptoms are similar to those of a vegetative state.”
In simple terms, she was like a living plant.
Arabella understood. She recalled a similar case she treated a long time ago. The patient had turned into a vegetable due to a brain injury.
Although the condition was finally controlled, it required a lot of medication. Some of the drugs were hard to find, and some even required sourcing from illegal areas beyond the border. All in all, treating such patients was a big hassle and tough task.
“How about we have dinner together tonight?”
Arabella checked the time, thinking that her parents were waiting for her at home. At this point, Romeo took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, it’s me. Bella and I are having dinner out tonight. Okay, I’ll take good care of her.“”
Hearing his brief conversation and him hanging up, Arabella thought, Did he even ask for my opinion?!”
