Chapter 309
Oh, Bonnie responded briefly and did not bother to explain herself.
That’s enough, Ivor. Why are you hounding Dr. Fanelli with these mundane questions? Mind how you carry yourself.” Winnie did not understand why her grandson was uncharacteristically drilling the doctor’s private life.
There’s something off about him today.”
“Hmm, you have a point, Grandma.” With that, he stopped questioning the doctor. He did not say a word until Bonnie finished the treatment, and he brought her out of the ward.
Ivor said, “I have a friend whose grandfather’s health is deteriorating. None of the prominent doctors he hired knew where to begin. He asked me for a favor. Will you check on his grandfather for me?”
Bonnie looked at him and said, “If that’s the case, why didn’t your friend attend the auction
for the miracle doctor’s service?”
Ivor explained, “Where do I even begin? My friend’s grandfather is pretty stubborn. He feels bad that his family worked so hard to find countless doctors for his condition. It has been over a decade, but they still aren’t close to finding him a cure..
“So, he’s beginning to think there’s no cure for his condition. He thinks his family is just wasting their time and money for him. That’s why he told them to give up on him.”
Bonnie was confused, asking, “So, why is your friend looking for a doctor for his grandfather now?”
Ivor’s brows furrowed as he stared at her. “He’s so ill that he’s bedridden. He practically has one foot in a grave. He won’t last until New Year if the family doesn’t do anything now. I know you have protocols for how you do things, Doc. I’m asking you to do me a favor this time. I’ll owe you one afterward and will do everything I can to repay you.”
Bonnie would have helped him even if he did not mention the latter part. After all, Ivor had helped her numerous times, even though she did not need his help.
“No problem.”
Ivor’s eyes widened in surprise. He did not expect to succeed so quickly. He had even devised several ideas to convince the doctor if he turned him down.
Thanks, Doo. No words could describe Ivor’s gratefulness besides this brief response
When can I drop by your friend’s place?” She asked.
It’s your call.”
After some thought, she said, “We’ll do it tomorrow night.”
Since she needed to treat Harold in the Shepards‘ house tomorrow afternoon, she could finish everything in one day.
The following day, Bonnie visited the Shepards‘ house to treat Harold. A while later,
Hadwin and his mother arrived. Demetria told her son, “I heard the miracle doctor will treat
Harold this afternoon. We must establish a good relationship with the doctor.”
“You can count on me, Mom. I came prepared.” Hadwin waved the expensive gifts he had
brought. Rhodes spent plenty of money on these gifts to make a good impression on the
miracle doctor.
“Come on, let’s head in.”
“Okay.”
When Trina heard Hadwin and Demetria had arrived, she paled and hastened over to stop.
them. “Hi, Hadwin and Demetria. What brings you here?”
“We heard that the miracle doctor is here. We prepared some gifts for them.” Hadwin
could not wait to meet the doctor.
However, Trina was worried, thinking ‘I knew they’d come to meet the miracle doctor! I won’t let that happen. I must stop them no matter what. They must never know who the
miracle doctor really is!”
“Say, where did you hear that from?”
“Are you telling me the doctor isn’t here?” Demetria was startled, asking, “How can that
be?”
