Chapter 65: She Will Learn Her Lesson
Olivia, unfamiliar with the nearby restaurants, sought Isabelle’s recommendation and took the two little boys there directly.
As they enjoyed their meal, Olivia received a message from Isaac: “Dr. Prescott, do you need to treat tonight?”
Realizing that she hadn’t informed Isaac about the treatment process, Olivia swiftly replied, “Old Whitaker is still weak, and we shouldn’t have treatments too frequently. He had two consecutive days already. Let him rest for a day, and I’ll visit tomorrow. Apologies for forgetting to inform you.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you,” Isaac promptly replied.
The two little boys noticed that Mommy was still messaging while eating and curiously asked, “Mommy, is something wrong?”
Olivia smiled and picked up some food for the two little boys, saying, “Nothing much, just a patient asking if I could come over.”
Upon hearing this, the little boys nodded understandingly and each picked up food for Mommy, saying, “Mommy, you’ve worked hard. Eat a bit more.”
Olivia’s heart warmed at their thoughtfulness, and they continued their delightful meal together.
After dinner, Olivia took the two little boys to the counter to pay.
Just as they approached, they spotted two familiar figures walking toward them-Emma and Abigail.
The two were walking arm in arm, talking and laughing as they headed into the restaurant.
Olivia involuntarily slowed her pace and glanced around, wanting to walk through the crowd and avoid the two of them.
After all, their attitude towards her had always been hostile.
Emma had harbored a grudge against her for a long time, even going so far as to join the numerous herbal medicine merchants from Seacrest in a joint boycott against her research institute.
And Abigail, though she simply looked down on Olivia’s medical skills, repeatedly mocked her.
But from the looks of it, the two of them had a good relationship.
Olivia had no doubt that Abigail would stand united with Emma.
Under normal circumstances, Olivia might have ignored them and walked past without acknowledgment.
However, with the two little boys present, she didn’t want to engage in an argument in front of them.
Just as she was about to take a detour with the two little boys, she heard Abigail’s sarcastic voice from a distance.
“Oh, Dr. Prescott, what a coincidence to see you here for dinner.”
Olivia furrowed her brow but initially decided to ignore the comment.
However, the boys tugged at her sleeve, believing she hadn’t heard, and said, “Mommy, someone’s talking to you.”
Reluctantly, Olivia stopped and turned calmly to meet Abigail’s gaze. “Indeed, it’s quite a coincidence. However, I’ve finished eating, so I won’t disturb you. We’ll be on our way.”
Planning to lead the boys past them to settle the bill, Olivia hoped to avoid further confrontation.
Emma frowned and asked Abigail, “Do you know her?”
Abigail nodded, glanced at the three people who were about to reach them, and disdainfully said, “Don’t say that. I can’t afford to be associated with her. Dr. Prescott’s medical skills are so remarkable that countless people couldn’t do anything about my grandfather’s condition, but after Dr. Prescott used acupuncture, he woke up. Now, my brother holds her in high regard, considering her more important than me.”
Upon hearing this, Emma’s expression changed slightly. “What do you mean? Why did you invite her to treat Old Whitaker?”
Abigail sneered, “We didn’t invite her. She came on her own. As for the reason, I suppose it’s because she’s interested in our family’s herbal medicine. After all, my grandfather just woke up, and my brother immediately signed a contract with her.”
With a displeased look directed at Olivia, Abigail added, “She doesn’t even know her place. My brother just casually mentioned it, and she readily agreed. Now that the contract is signed, if anything happens to my grandfather later on, she’ll learn her lesson!”
