Female Novel
Chapter 2241
"There's something important we need to talk about. Get out." Leia gave her a piercing look as sheasked the caretaker to leave.
After the caretaker left, Mandy walked toward her hospital bed, pretending to worry about her. Shesaid, "Leia, didn't you say you'd like to get a liver transplant the last time? But your family refuses to doit. Look at you. Your skin is sallow and your body is weak. You look like you're dying. That's why youhave to make yourself look miserable. They'll certainly agree with it then."novelbin
Leia bit her lip and glared at her, "I ended up like this because of you!"
"Don't blame me. We didn't even know smoking would have such a great impact on your health.Besides, that was the cigarette you used to smoke. You were fine back then... So, it's probablybecause the doctors can't find the reason why your condition worsened and they blamed the cigarette.What matters most now is that you've survived. Although you're in a worse condition now, your mothermight have a soft spot for you if things don't get better," Mandy whispered in her ears. "You were stillunconscious when I came here just now, but your mother was crying her eyes out."
"Enough. Stop talking about her," Leia replied angrily. She lost her status in the Norman family eversince her parents acknowledged Bianca.
Jack did not like her, and Queenie's attention was all on Bianca. She was trying to make up for losingBianca for so many years. That was why the resentment Leia had for her parents was becomingstronger and stronger.
Mandy smiled and said, "By the way, do you know the name of the doctor who treated you?"
"Which one?" Leia leaned on the pillow and sat for a while. Her body was unable to take it, and shewanted to lie down.
However, she did not want to show her weakness and look flustered in front of Mandy.
"The one who came to your ward today. He's so handsome and young. Hey, do you think doctors likehim make a lot of money?" Mandy's eyes were gleaming. She would not have known that there wereso many outstanding men in A City if she had not returned to her country.
"You mean Johann." Leia looked at the overwhelmed look on Mandy's face. She could not help butjudge her for being so clingy to men. She continued, "I'm not sure how much young doctors earn thesedays, but he."
"Yes? Isn't he making a lot of money? If he's able to visit patients like you who stay in VIP wards, hemust be experienced and qualified enough. But he looks young." Mandy interrupted her without tryingto conceal her interest in Johann.
"Can you wait until I finish my sentence?" Leia chimed in querulously.
Mandy smiled and stopped behaving in a spoony manner. She quickly nodded and replied, “Oh, sorry.
Please continue."
"He's a famous doctor in this country. Many famous businessmen and politicians who are sick wouldfind ways to see him. They would rather pay expensive medical expenses to see him than head tothose private hospitals for surgery," said Leia.
Johann was capable, but he chose to work in a public hospital.
However, there were limited resources in a public hospital. To consult a doctor like Johann, they wouldhave to snatch up the chance to see him. Besides, Johann made his own rules. He wanted to makesure ordinary people were able to consult him too, so no one was allowed to make the reservation on
behalf of anyone else. Once someone managed to make the reservation and receive treatment in thehospital, the surgery cost and medical expenses would be based on the hospital's charges.
That was why many wealthy men who wanted to consult Johann but did not manage to get the bookingnumber had no choice but to head to a private hospital to consult the doctors there. Then, they wouldask the director of the hospital to ask Johann to come over to treat them.
Only a few managed to cut in Johann's patient line.
"Wow!" Mandy could not help but exclaim in admiration. "He's really something."
Based on what Leia had told her, Johann must be making a lot of money. After all, private hospitalswere different from public hospitals. Johann was capable enough, and he was not afraid that he wouldstarve.
Although Johann was not a businessman, he was considered outstanding with such social status andreputation.
"So what if he's capable? Does it have anything to do with you?" Leia said sarcastically. Johann wouldnever fall for someone like her.
Mandy was dumbfounded for a moment. She sat beside the hospital bed and tried to please Leia. "Hehas nothing to do with me now. But you can help me. I'll make sure you get a share of the pie after yourecover."
Leia frowned without saying anything.
It was obvious what Mandy was up to. She wanted to win Johann's heart, but Leia had never seenJohann being in a relationship with anyone before even after staying in A City for so many years.Perhaps he was interested in men.
As for why Leia knew Johann so much, it was because Jack had tried to set her up with Johann manyyears ago.
However, Johann was not interested in her, and Leia had no feelings for Johann either.
That was why Leia knew Johann's relationship history so well.
Mandy noticed that Leia did not say anything, so she added, "Oh, my dear Leia, he's your attendingphysician. The two of you must have a way to contact each other. Why don't you give me his Facebookaccount name?"
"What if he's not interested in you? You might betray me and tell him. I'd still be the unlucky one," Leiasaid slowly.
"No. I promise I won't betray you! I won't even tell him you were the one who gave me his Facebookaccount," Mandy swore as she made a swearing gesture.
The door was pushed open, and the nurse came in. She recognized Mandy when she saw her sittingbeside Leia. She was the one who gave Leia the cigarette yesterday. The nurse frowned and asked,“What are you doing?"
Mandy turned around and glanced at the nurse. She was the one who came in yesterday. Then, Mandyrose to her feet. She did not like the nurse.
"I came to visit the patient. Is there any problem with it?"
"If you hadn't taken the initiative to smoke in the ward, the patient wouldn't have ended up like this."The nurse gave her a dirty look. She walked toward Leia's bed and said, "I have to give you aninjection now. Would you like to lie down?"
"Yes please." Leia felt tired. There was weariness on her pale-yellowish face.
After the nurse helped Leia to adjust the hospital bed, she gave her the injection quickly and skillfully.She warned Mandy before she left, "The patient can't even inhale secondhand smoke right now. Don'tdo anything silly."
Mandy pouted her mouth.
After the nurse left, Mandy stepped forward and looked at the IV fluid Leia was using. There were a fewbags of them. She could not help but smack her lips and say, "There are so many of them."
"Thanks to you," Leia replied in a cold voice.
"Didn't I tell you that it's a blessing in disguise? Just wait for it. Your mother will give you the money toget the liver," Mandy comforted her. She did not forget to ask for Johann's contact from her. "Come on.
Give me the doctor's Facebook account name."
Leia was getting impatient with Mandy pestering her. She reckoned that Johann would not acceptMandy even if she threw herself at him. Hence, she said, "Note it down. His Facebook account nameis..."
Mandy quickly noted down the name.
After Leia gave her Johann's contact, she asked her to leave. "Fine. You've got what you wanted fromme. Stop coming here for the time being so that my mother doesn't see you. Please leave."
"Then I won't bother you. Do remember to tell me if anything happens. I'm worried about you." Mandysent her a flying kiss.
Leia did not take Mandy's words seriously. She closed her eyes and said, "Ask the caretaker to comeback here."
"Got it." Mandy left happily after she got what she wanted.
