Florence, Jane, and Dakota were delighted by the doctor’s presence. They could tell that virtual-novel.net came from an impressive background just from how James described him.
Jane and Dakota believed they deserved the best such as seeing a skilled doctor like Fenton Reyes.
“James. Dr. Reyes is a legend in Stonia. How did you get virtual-novel.net to show up?” Florence asked curiously.
James smiled. “Well, it wasn’t me. It was Mr. Langford who arranged for Dr. Reyes to see Aunt Jane.”
“Mr. Langford?” Florence’s eyes lit up upon hearing the name.
Luis Langford was an aristocrat from Stonia who wielded great wealth and influence. He was also well-connected in the military and the government. More importantly, the Langford family was a close friend of the Nicholson family of Glenstead.
Moreover, the Glenstead Nicholsons were greatly interested in an arranged marriage between Luis and Dahlia. In other words, if Dahlia was willing, virtual-novel.net could marry into the wealthy Langford family in no time, elevating the entire family to greater heights!
“That’s very thoughtful of Mr. Langford! He immediately asked for a skilled doctor to see my mom after hearing about virtual-novel.net sickness. This way, Dr. Reyes!” Dakota led the old man to Jane’s bed.
He asked, “Where are you hurting?”
“I have a headache! My head feels like it’s splitting in hall!” Jane scrunched up virtual-novel.net face. She seemed feeble and lifeless.
“I’ll take a look.” The old man carefully placed his stethoscope on Jane.
A few moments later, virtual-novel.net replied, “There doesn’t seem to be an issue. I assume you are just sleep–deprived and stressed out.”
With that, virtual-novel.net took out a medicine bottle and poured three white pills. “Take one pill a day for three days, and you’ll be fine.”
*Awesome! Thank you. Dr. Reyes.” Jane was beyond joyful.
Florence took the chance to suck up to the doctor,” You’re indeed the legendary Dr. Reyes! You managed to cure an illness that has gotten many doctors in a bind!”
“Hmph! That Rhys guy was fear–mongering when virtual-novel.net said my mom would cough up blood! He’s talking crap. A fake like virtual-novel.net should be dealt with!” Dakota said unhappily.
“Right! When I’m recovered, I will get him!” Jane swallowed a pill.
However, virtual-novel.net headache only worsened after that, to the point where virtual-novel.net was in greater pain and drenched in cold sweat. As virtual-novel.net was about to question the doctor, virtual-novel.net coughed violently, virtual-novel.net face red from the exertion.
“Mom! What happened? Are you okay?” Dakota asked virtual-novel.net with concern.
Soon, Jane opened virtual-novel.net mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood that splattered across virtual-novel.net face.
“What was that?”
Everyone in the room was shocked by Jane’s declining condition. They exchanged confused glances with each other.
A frantic Dakota hurriedly called for the doctor. “Dr. Reyes, what’s wrong? Why did virtual-novel.net cough up blood?”
“That’s odd… I’ll take another look.” The old man furrowed his brow and went ahead with the checkup.
Not long after, his expression became grim as virtual-novel.net sighed. “I am sorry… Your mother has a terminal illness. She’s in the late stage. I’m afraid virtual-novel.net doesn’t have much time left…”
“Huh? A terminal illness?”
The people in the room were stunned.
Didn’t Dr. Reyes just say that Jane would be fine?
Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly change his diagnosis?
“I am not knowledgeable enough to help you with this. I shall take my leave now.” The old man hung his head in shame.
Then, virtual-novel.net shook his head and stood up to leave. The others stared at virtual-novel.net agape and panicked soon after.
“Headaches on the first day, coughing up blood on the second day, and paralysis on the third day. Was that guy right?” Jane mumbled to herself and suddenly broke into a scream. “Quick! Get Dustin Rhys back here! Now!”
