In the room.
Sumr Monroe had just finished washing up and was ready to rest when the door was suddenly knocked on.
She thought Stella Monroe was coming to cause trouble again, so she impatiently opened the door, only to see Leah Lowell standing there.
"Leah?" Sumr quickly glanced around and, seeing no one, imdiately pulled Leah into the room.
After closing the door, Sumr spoke, "Why did you co over? Did anyone see you?"
Leah shook her head and said, "I checked, no one saw co over."
As she spoke, she handed over a bag of traditional dicine she was holding, saying, "This is the dicine Mrs. Monroe asked to brew for her, but she insists only I handle it. I think there’s sothing suspicious, so I brought it over for you to take a look."
Sumr held it up to her nose to sll it. The scent matched the residue she had taken from the psychiatric hospital.
"Got it." Sumr handed the dicine back to Leah, saying, "Go brew the dicine for her. Be careful not to contact privately; use your phone to reach , to avoid raising Stella’s suspicions. You’re the undercover agent I placed by her side; you must not be discovered by her."
Leah nodded slightly, saying, "I was reckless. I’ll leave now. Oh, and this too."
Leah said this while pulling a necklace out of her pocket, "Mrs. Monroe gave this to ."
Sumr glanced at it, recognizing it as a full diamond necklace from Bvlgari, worth nearly a hundred thousand.
She chuckled, playing with the necklace in her hand, and said, "I didn’t expect Stella Monroe to beco so generous in order to win people over. You should sell it, there’s a lot of money needed for the child’s treatnt, schooling, tutoring, and such."
"No, no." Leah hurriedly refused, saying, "I’ve already taken quite a bit of money from you, how can I take from Stella Monroe as well? You’re so young, and given the situation now, you need money more than I do."
Sumr directly stuffed the necklace back into Leah’s pocket, smiling lightly, "Don’t worry, I’m wealthier than you imagine. Sell the necklace and enjoy the happiness of having double the money."
"..."
Leah didn’t know how to respond to that. The young lady really... has a way with words.
A young girl, even if she’s capable, how wealthy could she be?
But of course Leah kept these thoughts to herself; she knew the young lady was a good person and was determined to repay her kindness.
Leah didn’t linger long and soon went downstairs to brew the dicine.
anwhile.
First Ross Hospital.
Anyone who could afford treatnt at First Ross Hospital was either wealthy or influential, so it wasn’t as crowded as other hospitals.
When Henry Stanton arrived at the hospital, two nurses imdiately approached and asked, "Which departnt?"
"Ergency!" Henry said anxiously, "My mom said she can’t breathe. She fainted once on the way here and has just woken up; she’s still in the car. Please bring a stretcher."
On hearing this, one nurse ran to get a stretcher while the other notified the ergency doctor.
When the elderly lady was placed on the stretcher, her breathing was shallow, and her condition was dire.
The doctor examined her while asking Henry Stanton, "How did this happen? What caused it?"
"My mom just fell. The housekeeper said it was a minor fall, and initially, everything seed fine. It’s been nearly an hour since the discomfort started."
"I understand, please go make the paynt first, and we’ll take the elderly lady for examination."
The doctors and nurses got busy, and Henry Stanton could not help but first go to make the paynt.
He was puzzled. He thought it was just a fall without major issues, but suddenly things turned out like this?
