Chapter 10 It's Her?!
At that moment, the Nolan Residence was in a chaotic mess. Old Man Nolan had already been
unconscious for a week. Moreover, his blood pressure had soared and he was in danger of cerebral
hemorrhage at any time. Therefore, everybody was extremely anxious. Even so, nobody dared to call
the shots and operate on him. After all, the old man was already in his eighties. Who could
guarantee that he would safely survive the operation? âLet me try. Although it's risky to operate, it's
still better than letting Grandpa die, right?â Penny Nolan said. She was Silas's younger half-sister
from a different mother. More importantly, she held a doctorate in medicine and currently worked
at the Department of Neurology at Summer City's hospital. As soon as the words came out of her
mouth, some of the elders surrounding the old man looked hesitant They believed in Penny's
medical abilities. After all, she was the youngest in the family to obtain a doctorate in medicine and
was also the youngest neurological expert in the hospital. Still, Old Man Nolan was rather old and
frail. Besides, none of them actually called the shots in this family. Right at that moment, Jade
arrived with Camila in tow. When she took in the situation in the room, she immediately dragged
Camila with her as she stepped forward and hurriedly piped up, âWait! Penny! This is Miss Brooklyn!
Landon told me she is very skillful and has managed to cure many people! Moreover, Miss Brooklyn
mentioned that she can treat Grandpa without performing surgery on him! Let her try treating him
first!â
Upon hearing that, Penny looked at Camila suspiciously. When she saw that Camila had a child by
her side, she immediately revealed an expression of contempt. How dare a lowly housewife try to
steal my limelight?! âJade, where did you find this woman? She even brought unnecessary baggage
with her! Can she really cure Grandpa?â Camilaâs expression changed drastically at those words. In
the past, Landon had told Jade about Camilaâs abilities. Although he was normally a troublemaker,
he was still rather reliable when it came to matters relating to his great-grandpaâs illness. At the very
least, he would never bring in a quack doctor to treat Old Man Nolan. Therefore, Jade had a lot of
trust in Camila and her abilities. Thus, when she heard the words uttered by Penny, her expression
changed greatly, and she immediately said, âShut up, Penny. Miss Brooklyn here was invited over by
Landon. He told me she can cure Old Man Nolan's sickness. So, you better treat her
with more respect and let her have a try!â âLet her have a try? Is Grandpa's life something we can
toy with so casually? I don't even dare to say that I can cure him completely. Yet, you brought in
somebody whose origins are completely unknown. Who's going to take responsibility if something
happens?â Jade seemed slightly taken aback-she didnât know how to refute those words. Camila
suddenly found the entire situation incredibly ridiculous. âExcuse me, miss. If you won't even let me
examine the patient, how will you know I can't cure him?â After saying that, she strode past Penny
and eyed the old man lying on the bed. According to Landon, his great-grandpa was already in his
eighties. Old Man Nolan lay on the bed, looking rather haggard. Moreover, he seemed to be
suffering from great pain.
Even if a patient this elderly, where most of his bodily functions were no longer healthy or in peak
condition, were to be cured of his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through surgery, his
body would not be able to withstand the long-term recovery of his external wounds! When that
happens, it would only cause even more complications, and whether or not he could survive the
process was uncertain. Penny became furious. Stepping forward, she pulled Camila away. âStop right
there! Who do you think you are?! Do you know who that is, lying on the bed? If anything happens
to him, do you think you can bear the responsibility for it?â In response, Camila stared at her with
cold eyes. âIf you cared for your grandpa, you shouldn't stop me at a time like this.â âHe is my
grandpa! So, I have the right to be suspicious of you! Bring me your medical credentials and
practicing certificates! Also, show me proof of where you worked before and what kind of illnesses
you've treated in the past! If you are as good as you say you are, then I'll let you treat him!â Just
then, Silas arrived at the entrance of the Nolan Residence after rushing over. Thus, his assistant,
Connor, hurriedly rushed out to meet him. âPresident Nolan, you're here! Young Lady Jade and
Young Lady Penny are about to fight!â Silas said nothing. Instead, he hastened his steps, hurriedly
heading toward the courtyard where Old Man Nolan was. Unexpectedly, he heard a cold and
disdainful voice as soon as he stepped through the door. âYour family is truly interesting! Mrs.
Hunter, I only came here because Landon asked me to. Let me be honest with you; Old Man Nolan's
condition cannot be delayed for much longer. Whether or not you want me to treat him, that's
entirely up to you. After all, the opportunity to treat a patient is also up to fate. If we don't have that
fate, then I won't force myself on you.â
He frowned deeply. This voice? Why does it sound so familiar? Thus, he quickly headed inside. Upon
entering the courtyard, he instantly froze in surprise when he saw the woman standing there.
It's the thief that came to the company for an interview yesterday! Why is she here?
