chapter 71 So, I believe her
Around ten people suddenly crammed into Dennis' room, so even though the room was spacious, now it seemed crowded.
Olivia observed the Si Family members' expressions, noticing that they were looking at her like she was a monster. She smiled without speaking.
But Xavier's expression darkened, and he stood in front of Olivia. "A joke? We will know who is the real fool when the truth is revealed."
Zachary's eldest son, Zeke Si, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a stern expression. "Uncle Xavier, I believe there's nothing wrong with the doctor since you were the one who brought her here. Through the past year, all of us tried various ways to save Grandpa, but you insisted on finding Zoey Xue. I know we should believe in you and this young doctor. But…”
"I'm afraid we have only seen poisonous magic on the TV, and it doesn't exist in the real world. Even if it does, Grandpa has never offended these crooked people. The Si Family is also a family of honor and righteousness, so why would these baddie harm Grandpa?"
Zachary sneered. "Oh, Xavier, my brother. We won't blame you even if you can't find Dr. Xue. You merely gave up on meeting Dr. Xue over a woman. There's no need to find a random person and bring her home just to come up with a random conclusion about Dad's disease. Not only does it not help, but can also worsen Dad's condition."
Olivia couldn't help but glance at Xavier at the mention of him being a brother and uncle to the Si Family of Jing Cheng.
"How many hidden identities does he have? I thought he is the head of the Jianglin Si Family? Why do they refer to him as their family member?"
Xavier gave Olivia an exasperated expression. He raised his chin as frostiness glinted in his eyes. "Are you guys afraid of Dad's condition worsening, or do you guys fear the truth that Dr. Xue is going to reveal? Maybe one of you guys are going to suffer once the truth surfaces!"
Zachary's face darkened, "What do you mean by that?"
Yelena sneered. "Xavier, maybe you're the one behind the evil plan since you are thinking about those thoughts that shouldn't have crossed your mind."
"Although you are unwilling to admit that you're from the Si Family, but everyone knows you're Dad's favourite. He feels guilty toward you and wants to compensate you because of everything that happened in the past. You're the biggest beneficiary if anything happens to him."
It was rare for Michelle to agree with Yelena. "Xavier, it's not okay to be overly greedy. Dad treated you so kindly and he would definitely be upset over what you did."
Xavier smiled coldly. "Ms. Yelena, you got it wrong. Since I'm unwilling to admit that I'm from the Si Family, the only way for me to control the Si Family is to wait for Old Mr. Si to wake up. I will forever be an outsider if he doesn't wake up from his coma."
"Besides, Dr. Xue hasn't done anything yet. She just briefly talked about Old Mr. Si's situation, and you guys got so agitated over it. Are you guys afraid that once the old man regains his consciousness, he will name the person behind this?" Xavier retorted.
Yelena immediately shouted, "You are the one with a guilty conscience. Xavier, don't get the wrong idea that you will be a part of the Si Family once Dad accepts you. I'm telling you. He is our father. You cannot let that crooked woman harm Dad without our agreement."
Zachary echoed her words. "Xavier, we also want to believe in you and this miracle doctor. But now, Yaron doesn't even trust her, so how are we supposed to be convinced by her?"
"Oh well, I have no qualms in not treating Old Mr. Si since you guys don't trust me." Olivia, who had been silent until now, smiled lazily. "After all, I didn't intend to get involved in your family affairs too. I wouldn't have show up if Xavier didn't beg me. But…”
She paused and raised her eyebrows. "I have a question. You guys have invited so many doctos and experts that are either amazing at what they do or not. Did anyone of them describe Old Mr. Si symptoms accurately?"
Olivia focused her gaze on Yaron.
Xue Yun frowned and said nothing.
Olivia, on the other hand, listed a series of symptoms that Dennis displayed after he fell unconscious. She recounted everything, word by word, not missing anything from the start until now.
After saying that, she smiled and raised her brow. "Am I right?"
"Hmm…"
Before Yaron could express his opinion, the butler at the door entrance rushed in excitedly. "She's right. Dr. Xue even got the timeline down to a tee. She is a miracle doctor! Just like what she said, Old Mr. Si had seizures when he first fell unconscious. After the symptoms subsided, he…"
The butler flailed around excitedly as he spoke. After he was done, he knelt before Olivia. "Dr. Xue, please save Old Mr. Si! The Si Family needs him!"
The butler's reaction stunned everyone in the room.
He was the one who took care of Dennis after he fell ill, and no one knew Dennis' situation better than him.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Thus, the butler reacted in such a manner because Olivia's words were spot on.
However, the Si Family couldn't accept it. They found poisonous magic to be something too ridiculous and surreal.
"Timothy, why are you doing this...?" Zachary's expression changed, and he whispered, "She just got wind about the old man's situation from somewhere. That's why she can spew nonsense so confidently now. We have called in so many doctors over the past year, and the old man's symptoms are no longer a secret in the medical field. Besides…”
Zachary looked at Xavier. "Xavier must have shown Dad's medical case of illness to her when he asked for her help. We are modern humans, and we believe in science. How can you..."
The butler, Timothy, was Dennis' subordinate while they were in the army.
He followed Dennis through life-and-death situations and served beside the older man after they were discharged from the army. Timothy was willing to do anything for Dennis because even though on the surface he was Dennis' butler, they got along like brothers.
Timothy's face darkened, glancing at Zachary sharply. "Mr. Zachary, what you said is wrong. Most of you only know Old Mr. Si's basic symptoms and common reactions and that includes Dr. Yaron. But for more than a year, I've served beside Old Mr. Si, and I'm aware of every change his body has."
"You have invited so many doctors here, but none of them can recount Old Mr. Si's reactions like Dr. Xue, so I trust her!"
Timothy's words silenced the people around him.
Of course, the Si Family members were speechless, feeling that Timothy had trusted unquestioningly in the woman.
Yaron fell into deep thought. He began to ponder about the credibility of Olivia's earlier words.
Their reaction didn't bother Olivia. She smiled at Zachary. "Mr. Zachary, have you have been feeling sore in your calves, lost your appetite, have poor sleep condition and restlessness recently?"
After finishing speaking, she handed him a pill. "This medicine can cure your illness, but don't force it if you don't trust me."
Olivia landed her gaze on Yelena again. "Ms. Yelena, you must suppress your desire. You can't walk steadily, and your head feels heavy. You're old, and your kidneys may not be to withstand the pressure you put them through. I recommend that you use the money on young men to replenish your bodily needs. Besides that, if your bacterial infection cannot be properly treated with long-term rashes appearing all over your skin, constant insomnia and nightmares that affect your sleep quality, all these can lead to serious consequences."
"Ms. Michelle has such a good figure. I'm afraid you are not born slim, but it's a result of your weight loss programme. After consuming those harmful diet pills for a long time, there are cancerous cells in your stomach now. Please head to the hospital quickly to get checked out."
