Chapter 86 Ms. Pyne Is in Danger

In Judd's mansion...

Lilian had been on the medicine prescribed by Alisa for three days, but her condition was far from improving.

She was very weak. She still had a high fever and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.

Both Nyla and Ellen were worried sick.

Right after their family doctor gave fever-reducing medicine to Ellen, Nyla asked anxiously, "Dr. Mosley, how's Lilian doing? Can her fever be reduced?"

"It doesn't look goo. Ms. Pyne has had a high fever for the past three days. Normally, once the fever subsides, it shouldn't return so quickly. However, within seven to eight hours of taking the medicine, she had a fever again. The fever-reducing medication doesn't seem to be working for her today."

Dr. Mosley explained seriously, "Moreover, she's been vomiting and having diarrhea. If this continues, Ms. Pyne's life is at risk. I would suggest taking her to the hospital."

"But Ms. Geller claimed that this is normal for it indicates that the toxins in Lilian's body are being expelled. She advised us to treat the fever first and apply the medicinal paste once the fever subsides. This is a crucial step in treating Lilian's face."

Indeed, Ellen had made several phone calls to Alisa over the past couple of days. At first, Alisa patiently explained that Lilian was detoxing, and fever was a normal part of the healing process. However, as time went on, Alisa's patience waned, and she even stopped picking up the calls.

Ellen was angry with Alisa, but she had to suppress her anger for the sake of her daughter's life.

Ellen was worried as she looked at Lilian lying on the bed.

However, Ellen knew how important healing her face was to Lilian.

During these painful days when she was disfigured, Lilian endured immense humiliation and lived like an empty shell. Ellen couldn't bear to see her daughter suffering like this.

"Her life is hanging on by a thread, and you're still focused on this?" Nyla said in a stern voice, "Our priority should be to save Lilian's life. Alisa doesn't look like is a legitimate doctor and has no proper medical credentials. How can she treat Lilian? We might have been fooled by her."

"I don't think so. There were many witnesses that day, and they confirmed that Alisa had healed Taryn's face. Mom, I believe it's worth a try. As you know, Lilian's life is a living hell. Only when her face is healed can she be happy again. Let's be patient and observe if Lilian's fever subsides. If not, then we can ask Alisa to come here and take a look."

Now, at this critical juncture, she didn't want to give up.

"You're being foolish!" Nyla scolded, "Lilian is dying, and you're still waiting for Alisa? Are you going to be satisfied until you put your daughter's life in danger?"

"Mom!" Ellen cried out and said in tears, "Lilian is my only daughter. How could I bear to watch her die? But seeing her in such agony is heartbreaking too. This is her last chance. I don't want to give it up."

As they argued, Dr. Mosley cut in, "Could you show me the prescription that Ms. Geller gave? If everything seems okay, then perhaps we can wait a bit longer to see if the fever is reduced."

Ellen nodded and quickly went to fetch the prescription.

After carefully examining the prescription, Dr. Mosley remained silent for a while.

A sense of unease washed over Ellen. She asked, "Is there any problem?"

Dr. Mosley shook his head and replied, "For now, it seems fine. The prescription is for detoxification. But there's something that doesn't quite add up, though I don't know what it is."

After a brief pause, Dr. Mosley continued, "Let's wait for another hour. If Ms. Pyne's fever doesn't go down by then, we should consider taking her to the hospital. Her condition is deteriorating rapidly. I can only ensure that she can hang in there for the next two hours, but delaying further might become risky."

Ellen nodded and said to Old Mrs. Judd, "Mom, did you hear that? Dr. Mosley said we can wait for another hour. Let's be patient."

"Do as you wish!"

Nyla was annoyed. She brushed off Ellen and walked away.

She also wanted to see her granddaughter's face healed.

But if she lost her life, her face meant nothing.

Ellen was so desperate that she was willing to try anything.

Down in the main hall, Nyla had just taken a sip of coffee when the maid walked to her and said, "Old Mrs. Judd, Old Mrs. Levine is here."

Nyla's face lit up and said, "Oh, has Riya been discharged? Please, invite her in."

Rising from her seat, she hurried toward the entrance to welcome her guest.

In no time, Old Mrs. Levine was shown in. Nyla was glad to see her, and she reached out and took Old Mrs. Levine's hand, saying, "Riya, you're just out of the hospital. Why aren't you resting at

home? What brought you here?"

Smiling, Old Mrs. Levine explained, "I was feeling quite bored at home, so I thought I'd come over and have a chat with you."

Nyla asked Old Mrs. Levine to take a seat and said, "Are your son and daughter-in-law away on a business trip again? They should make time for you despite their busy schedules. Your three sons are all wrapped up in their own affairs, and you just have one granddaughter in Rheinsville City. Who can take care of you?"

"I've grown accustomed to it," Old Mrs. Levine said, though sometimes she still felt lonely.

Each of her three sons was busy with work, leaving her with no one to look after her. As a result, each son took turns to care for her for several months at a time.

The day she was rescued by Gianna at the amusement park was shortly after she returned from visiting her second son abroad. During this period, it was her youngest son, Burkei's turn to look after her.

Old Mrs. Levine frowned and asked, "With such a high fever, she still won't go to the hospital? Isn't that risking Lilian's life?"

Nyla sighed again and explained, "I know. Ellen is getting so obsessed with treating Lilian's face. A few days ago, she heard that Ms. Geller successfully treated Taryn's face, and now she's insisted on having her treat Lilian. But after taking the medicine prescribed by Ms. Geller, Lilian is still having a fever. She's been vomiting and having diarrhea as well. Now she's in bed and can barely move. She is in a dire condition."

"I asked Ellen to take Lilian to the hospital immediately, but she refused and insisted that having a fever was normal."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Ms. Geller?" Old Mrs. Levine paused briefly and said with a smile, "Ms. Geller has impressive medical skills. I had fainted and nearly died recently, and it was Ms. Geller who saved me."

"Really?" Nyla was surprised to learn that Old Mrs. Levine was also saved by Alisa.

"Yes. Ms. Geller is a very kind-hearted person. If it's her medicine, you can rest assured."

Nyla said with a wry smile, "Maybe there's some kind of fate connecting you and Ms. Geller. She does seem a bit impatient with Lilian's treatment. We've tried to invite her over several times since Lilian had a fever, but she turned it down. And later on, she stopped answering our calls."

"That's strange," Old Mrs. Levine said with a confused expression, "The Ms. Geller I know is very kind."

After a brief pause, Old Mrs. Levine suggested, "How about I give Ms. Geller a call and ask her to come over?"

"Thank you, Riya. I really appreciate your help."
