Chapter 214
After a good laugh, I instructed Hannah, "Let's check out and head home."
Hannah looked at me with a hint of worry. "Are you sure you're okay, Ms. Wilburn?"
"It's just a fever. I'm not that fragile! I know my own body. I was just too exhausted yesterday, and too
many unexpected things happened. I just couldn't digest it all at once. Mostly, it's my heart that's not
holding up. This place is a mess, nothing like home!" I rambled on to Hannah. "Besides, we've got
workers coming to install the windows at home. We can't just leave it like that. It'll be the talk of the
town."
Hannah glanced at Catherine, as if seeking her opinion.
Catherine nodded. "Let's get discharged then! We'll all go back to your place later. No big deal!"
Suddenly, she turned to me, "Oh, since we're at the hospital, I should accompany you to get a thorough
check-up from Dr. Dailey. Did he ask you to come back for a follow-up?"
I shook my head. "I completely forgot about that!"
"You! You don't take your health seriously enough!" Catherine grumbled. Then, she instructed Hannah,
"Go handle the discharge procedures. I'll take Allie for the check-up. Join us when you're done."
"Alright!" Hannah agreed and turned to me, "Ms. Wilburn, if you not feeling well, don't hold it together."
I nodded, and she hurried off.
Catherine immediately contacted Dr. Dailey, and we went to his office together.
He was a bit surprised to see me. "You look much better, and your complexion has improved. This is
more like you. We'll see how your vitals are, and consider changing your medication."
He asked very detailed questions, and I explained my recent condition and symptoms to him
thoroughly.
"Don't rush. Everything takes time. You're doing very well! I didn't expect you to recover this quickly!"
He comforted me after hearing my explanation, "It seems that you've got a strong constitution."
Then, he personally took me and Catherine for various examinations.
Just as we left the ultrasound room and were about to take the elevator, I spotted a familiar figure. I
immediately grabbed Catherine and hid around the corner.
Our actions startled Dr. Dailey, who looked at us in confusion. I made a 'shush' gesture and pointed to
the entrance of the laboratory. "I know her." I mouthed silently. Dr. Dailey immediately understood and
leaned towards us.
Feeling awkward, I said, "Sorry! She's a crucial person!"
The person I saw was Clara. She was talking to a doctor, looking very obedient. However, their
expressions were quite cautious, especially the doctor, who kept glancing around.
Clara handed something to the doctor, who quickly slipped it into the pocket of his coat.
Then, leaving Clara alone, he turned and went back into the lab.
Clara looked back cautiously, glanced in our direction, and then left without hesitation, her steps light.
I exchanged a glance with Catherine, then turned to Dr. Dailey. "Um... Dr. Dailey, can you find out what
Clara gave to that doctor? I have a feeling..." I stopped, realizing how presumptuous I've been.
Catherine immediately looked at Dr. Dailey. "Dr. Dailey, this is important for us. This woman is a bit
suspicious, and we're investigating her. There's definitely something fishy about her actions just now."
Dr. Dailey glanced at us and nodded. "Just a moment! I'll take you to the next test first."
"We better not alert them!" I reminded him.
Dr. Dailey nodded, indicating that he understood.
Just as Hannah, who had completed the discharge procedures, found us, I quickly pulled her aside and
whispered something in her ear. She immediately turned and left.
Dr. Dailey then led us down the stairs through a hidden passage, sent me into the examination room,
and then left.
As Catherine accompanied me during the examination, she said, "She looked so sneaky. It must be
something dubious!"
"Do you think she came for a routine blood test? Her body must have shown some abnormalities!" I
guessed.
"If that’s the case, there's no need for her to be so sneaky about it! The doctor looked really nervous
and cautious! Just based on that, it's definitely not a good thing!" Catherine grumbled, "These sisters...
None of them are easy to deal with!"
By the time I finished the examination, Dr. Dailey hurried back.
I looked at him expectantly and asked, "Did you find out what it was?"Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
