Chapter 354
I really didn’t wanna see Bonnie. She seemed to always bring trouble with her, but I couldn’t avoid her now.
“Ms. Tueley, you can leave now.” Snow said coldly to Bonnie. I didn’t know why, but her voice gave me the chills.
Bonnie, with tears streaming down her face, looked very pitiful. She asked Snow, “Doctor, is there really no cure for me? I have enough money. Aren’t you the best? I’ll pay any amount as long as you can cure me!”
But Snow only responded coldly, “Where did you get the money?”
Bonnie paused and then said, “My parents are wealthy. If you can help me have a child in the future, you can name your price!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Snow let out a cold laugh. Her voice was tinged with regret, yet it was still icy. “Too bad; if you insist on having a child, you’ll die. It’s your choice.”
I think I got a grasp of what was happening. Bonnie had a heart transplant, and her health was already poor. She, like me, wanted to have a child.
Compared to her, my situation wasn’t as severe. At least I didn’t have to worry about my own life.
Suddenly, I felt pretty good. I thought back to when I lost my child and Bonnie’s gleeful face at the time. Wasn’t this karma?
“You’re lying to me; you’re a quack!” Bonnie burst into tears and yelled at Snow. “I shouldn’t have listened to the people who were praising your medical skills. Just wait and see; I’ll definitely get
pregnant and be safe!”
With that, she picked up her bag and stormed out.
Snow seemed unfazed and smiled at me. “Ms. Finch, you’re here.”
“How do you know my name?” I was suddenly puzzled.
*Stella contacts me from time to time for health advice and mentions you often. Plus, you’re quite well- known in Rosemont, so it’s normal for me to know.” Snow replied calmly.
Even though her explanation sounded reasonable, my gut told me something was off.
I didn’t know where this feeling came from, but I still kept it in mind.
At this moment, I wanted nothing more than to get healthy and have my own child in the future.
I told Snow about my problem. After Russel, she was the second person to know about my difficulties getting pregnant again.
After examining me, Snow told me clearly that my health was indeed not good. However, there was hope. If I followed her treatment, there was a 70% chance / could have my own child.
I didn’t know how many hospitals I had been to. During my two years of travel, I’d visit a hospital wherever I went, but the results were always disappointing. Snow was the only doctor who told me I had a 70% chance of getting pregnant. I couldn’t hide my excitement. My underlying anxiety also faded away. Like Stella, I was willing to face any difficulty in order to get pregnant.
“If you accept the treatment, then lie down on the couch over there.” Snow pointed to the sofa.
I nodded and lay down as she instructed. The treatment began.
When Snow was treating me, she was very close to me. I could clearly see her face. Her features were delicate. For a moment, I thought she looked a bit like Bonnie. The treatment took about half an hour. When it ended, I was ready to pay for the day’s treatment, but Snow suddenly said, “Ms. Finch, please pay in cash next time.” I was surprised. Stella didn’t pay in cash last time. Why did I have to pay in cash? Using a bank card was much more convenient.
Snow explained apologetically, “I need some cash sometimes, so I take it directly. Please understand.”
“Hmm, aren’t you afraid I’ll run away?” I joked as I got dressed.
Three treatments a week and take the medicine I prescribed twice a day, morning and night. In a few days, you’ll feel better than before. You’re not short of money, so you won’t abandon the treatment to avoid the fee.” Snow said confidently.
That made sense. As long as the treatment was effective, I would definitely stick with it.
“Okay, I’ll come again in three days. Where’s the medicine?” I asked.
“Ms. Finch, give me your address. I’ll have someone deliver it to you.” Snow answered.
Was that how it was done? I was a bit confused.
There was a hint of apology in Snow’s eyes. “Ms. Finch, there are some medicines I can’t give you. I have to prepare them myself and then deliver them to you.” Stella had told me before that Snow was a bit mysterious and difficult to approach, and she did things in a unique way, so I was prepared.
After leaving my Sunflower Terrace address, I left.
The next day was Sunday. Neil came to find me early in the morning. I asked him groggily, “What’s the big Idea? Do you know how early it is?” “Didn’t we agree? You need to pick up Daisy from Sterling Estates.” Neil took off his sunglasses and strode into my apartment.
He was so unreasonable. It was not even eight o’clock yet!
Seeing Neil sitting comfortably on the sofa made my good mood vanish. I glared at him and went back to my room to change.
By the time I came out dressed, the doorbell rang, so I went straight to open the door.
Snow was wearing a black long-sleeved dress. Despite the hot weather, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, her face obscured.
She was holding the medicine. I thought she would send someone else, but she came herself.
“Ms. Finch…” Snow began, then suddenly stopped. Although she was wearing sunglasses, I could feel her gaze. She seemed to be staring at Neil, who was sitting in
the living room.
I couldn’t see her facial expression, but her body seemed to stiffen.
“Dr. Snow?” I called her name.
“Oh? Sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night and feel a bit dizzy now. I just spaced out.” Snow handed me the medicine. “This is your medicine. Take it once in the morning and once at night. Don’t forget.”
“Okay, would you like to come in for a glass of water?” I asked politely.
“Sure.” Snow agreed readily.
However, Neil suddenly spoke up. “We have something to do, so we won’t be able to entertain you.”
the cold shoulder.
He didn’t really know Snow, so naturally, he wasn’t keen on playing host to her. He straight-up gave
When Snow heard what Neil had said, she was obviously taken aback. Her voice sounded a bit off. “Alright then, if you guys are busy, I won’t take up any more of your time.”
With that, she turned on her heel and left without a moment’s hesitation.
I needed Snow’s help with healing, so I wanted to be on good terms with her. Neil just disregarding people’s feelings like that really ground my gears.
