Chapter 99
Brigham said, "I thought I would have to track you down. I didn't expect you to come to us. Floyd, call the police and arrest this fraud."
Seeing Brigham's aggressive demeanor, Zach was surprised and asked, "Brigham, do you know Yolanda? Why are you calling her a fraud? Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
The butler, Floyd, stood beside the sofa. He looked awkwardly at Yolanda. He ultimately decided not to follow Brigham's command.
Nigel frowned and said, "Brigham, speak respectfully. Yolanda is a friend of Zach's. How can you call her a fraud?"
"Grandpa, she is a fraud!" Brigham's anger was evident, with veins popping on his forehead.
"You were unconscious yesterday, so you probably didn't know this. She almost worsened your condition. If I hadn't stopped her in time, she would have tried to give you some unknown pills. Isn't she clearly trying to harm you?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"She's just a high school student. How could she possibly know medicine? I think she's just pretending to be a doctor for a million dollars. Such a greedy fraud is truly disgusting."
Yolanda looked at him calmly. "If it weren't for me performing acupuncture, he wouldn't have made it to the hospital."
Brigham's face flushed even more. "My grandfather will live a long life. Are you trying to curse him? You claim to know medicine, then in front of my grandfather, tell us if you've ever studied medicine or have a medical license?"
Even now, Brigham was still a bit scared. He had been momentarily swayed by Yolanda's deceitful words yesterday. Thankfully, someone was kind enough to expose her lies before she could succeed.
"Brigham, calm down," Zach said, trying to soothe him.
"Although Yolanda is just a student and doesn't have a medical degree or license, she performed a miracle by curing my son. I witnessed it myself. "Moreover, Yolanda comes from a good family and isn't lacking in money. With her medical skills, she could easily earn more than one million dollars by treating difficult cases."
Zach had previously looked into Yolanda. Although he knew she was not favored within the Henderson family, it was hard to believe she would risk everything for money.
Brigham snorted in disdain. "Uncle Zach, I thought you were more discerning. I didn't expect you to be deceived by her flattery."
"Brigham, you shouldn't speak to your uncle like that. He invited Yolanda here out of concern for my health," Nigel said.
He was also displeased with
Brigham's attitude and spoke up to admonish him, "Besides, my illness has persisted for so long that had given up hope. It won't hurt to have her take a look."
After he finished speaking, Nigel then smiled apologetically at Yolanda. "Sorry, Yolanda. My grandson can be a bit hot-headed. Please don't take it personally."
"Grandpa!" Brigham was angry and anxious, seeing that Nigel wasn't convinced by his words.
"Uncle Nigel, I already know your symptoms, and I am confident I can cure them completely."
Yesterday, when Yolanda examined Nigel, she discovered that he had been poisoned. The toxin was extremely rare.
Not only could she detoxify Nigel, but she also knew who had developed the poison. The elderly man who created the poison was a miser, and anyone who could afford his price could buy it.
Therefore, Yolanda couldn't be certain who poisoned Nigel. However, Riverdale City was small, and there were few people who could afford such poison.
Once she returned to the Henderson residence and investigated Nigel and the Hansen family's background, she should be able to narrow it down. Brigham sneered upon hearing Yolanda's words.
"You really have a lot of nerve. My grandfather has been to the best hospital in Riverdale City, and they couldn't find anything wrong. You've only been here a short time, and you dare to claim you can cure him?"
