Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 212 The Reason For Dropping Out

Alex thought it was a good idea: "Mandy, I think this is a good plan. Mom can go to the hospital for treatment with peace of mind, and you’re free to help her at home. What do you think?" Mandy didn’t think it was a good idea. Mandy needed to go shopping, watch movies, and enjoy her milk baths and Thai massages. Staying at Meggie’s house every day? That was absolutely impossible. "It’s not that I’m unwilling," Mandy said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "but I’m currently preparing for Vincent’s wedding. The wedding is very complicated, and I don’t have time to help Meggie." Alex nodded, "Then why don’t we have Janet and Bryden come?" "Those two kids are like monkeys; don’t disturb God’s peace!" Meggie decided, "Mandy will help me. Mandy, let me tell you, serving God is not just a job; it requires sincerity. If God knows your heart isn’t sincere, He will be displeased." Meggie’s last words carried a hint of warning. Mandy understood her meaning. Although Meggie was old, she wasn’t muddleheaded. She was blaming Mandy for being unkind to Emily earlier! Mandy disliked Emily even more now. Mandy had thought that Emily was just a bit arrogant, but she hadn’t expected Emily to be so scheming. Emily’s nature was truly malicious, no wonder Grace and Sophia both disliked her. Mandy rolled her eyes inwardly but kept a smiling face, "Since you trust Emily so much, why don’t you let her treat you?" "Why did you change your mind again?" Alex frowned slightly, displeased. Mandy explained, "I saw that Emily was very confident just now. I guess she already has a treatment plan, right, Emily?" The topic shifted back to Emily. Emily wasn’t flustered. She stood up slowly, confident and polite, "I already have a plan. My foster father had similar symptoms to Meggie’s, and I cured his illness. Sophia, we grew up together, you should know this, right?" Sophia didn’t expect Emily to throw the question to her and didn’t know how to answer. Emily didn’t wait for her response and continued, "Meggie, your condition is actually lighter than my foster father’s was. If you follow my instructions, exercise, and eat according to my plan, you’ll see significant improvement in about two weeks." Meggie smiled, "Alright, I’ll follow your advice. If my symptoms improve in two weeks, you can ask for anything you want." "Thank you." That settled the matter. Bella had already prepared paper and pen and handed them to Emily. Emily took them and wrote down the names of a dozen herbs and some foods from memory. "Bella, buy these herbs and make a tea for Meggie to drink every day. Remember, she should drink a cup in the morning before breakfast and another after dinner. Don’t let Meggie eat too much, just enough to be three-quarters full. Use fruit to make up the rest, preferably bananas or oranges, and give it to her around three or four in the afternoon." Bella took the paper and nodded, "I remember, I won’t forget." Emily continued, "Also, keep her nutrition balanced. Meggie rarely eats meat, so she lacks fats and traces of it. Her nutrition will be a bit deficient. You can substitute with other nutritional products, like adding a little protein powder to her dinner, but not too much." "Okay, got it. Is there anything else to note? I’ll write it all down." "For now, that’s it," Emily smiled, "Treating stomach issues is a long-term process, starting with daily diet adjustments. Let’s first reduce the heat in Meggie’s lungs. Once the lung heat is gone, her coughing will decrease, and the food stuck in her stomach will slowly digest. Then we can gradually nurse her back to health." While speaking, Emily glanced at Sophia from the corner of her eye. Sophia stared at Emily, looking incredulous. Emily smiled slightly and asked, "Sophia, do you know what herb my foster father took at the time?" Of course, Sophia didn’t know. She opened her mouth but couldn’t speak, only looking towards the door. Grace was anxious but couldn’t help, and when their eyes met, they both felt flustered. Grace finally sighed heavily and gave up. "I... I was in school at the time, so I didn’t know what was happening at home," Sophia stammered. "Oh," Emily said, "but I was also in school at that time. I wasn’t just in school, I was also working to earn money for your tuition. Sophia, I studied nutrition and herbal medicine. Not only did I study it, I also worked part-time at a pharmacy. When you were spending the money I earned in college, did you ever think about where that money came from?" Meggie was shocked, "You worked to pay her tuition? What about you?" "University tuition was too expensive, so I had to drop out," Emily said, "But don’t worry, I learned from a pharmacist while working at the pharmacy. You can trust me." "That’s not what I’m worried about!" Meggie was angry, "I’m asking why you sacrificed yourself to earn her tuition? Were your grades worse than hers?" Emily lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Grades didn’t matter anymore. I’m the older sister, she’s the younger sister. Our family had no money, so only one of us could go to university, and I had to drop out. As the older sister, I had to give up for her future." "How could this happen!" Meggie slapped the table heavily. At that moment, a tall figure walked in through the door. He had a smile on his lips, wore a white mask on his face, and spoke softly, "Who made my grandma angry?"
