After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 117 - 114: The Old Man by the Roadside
Chapter 117: Chapter 114: The Old Man by the Roadside
That was an elderly lady with grey hair, seemingly over seventy years of age, dressed in a blue and white hospital gown.
At this moment, her hospital gown was covered in dust as she lay on the ground with her eyes closed, appearing to be unconscious.
The students had never seen such a scene before and were all scared and stunned.
"Step aside"
Emily Parker made her way through the crowd.
"Amelia, help me take a video."
Before checking, Emily handed her phone to Amelia Willow.
Emily, being a doctor, couldn’t ignore someone in need, but she also didn’t want to get involved in unnecessary disputes.
She still didn’t know the old lady’s condition, and it was best to take a video during the aid to prevent any accidents and misunderstandings with the elderly’s family later on.
Amelia pursed her lips, not taking the phone, deep down she didn’t want to help Emily,
"Are you stupid?
Nowadays, there are all sorts of people in society, who knows if this old lady is a scammer faking injuries."
Grace Willow had always taught her siblings that if they encountered elderly, children, or women asking for help on the street, they should never assist.
Those people are most likely to exploit others’ morality to swindle money.
At that moment, the old lady’s eyelids twitched, and she opened her mouth, her speech still unclear.
"What happened?"
Abigail Long, who was in the nearby clinic, saw the commotion and walked over.
After handing her phone to her, Emily checked the old lady’s pockets, but unfortunately, they were empty.
Seeing the old lady was still conscious, Emily asked Abigail Long for help, and together they helped the old lady into the clinic.
Only then did the students disperse, and Amelia glanced at Emily’s back,
"Pretending to be compassionate."
Just back in class, Amelia saw Charles Pond coming over with two steaming breakfasts. Seeing Charles, Amelia’s face broke into a sweet smile.
Lately, her relationship with Charles had been progressing; they were now boyfriend and girlfriend.
They had also agreed to spend the upcoming weekend together after the monthly test.
Charles had just gone to buy breakfast for her.
"By the way, there’s another monthly test in a few days, I wonder if Maria Carter and her friends will show any improvement?"
Amelia asked purposefully.
She and Maria Carter were not in the same class, but Liliana Manor was, and she was attending the same "Heavenly King" coaching classes as Maria.
Yet lately, she noticed Liliana was still the same, always sleeping in class.
"What improvement could there be, if they could improve, pigs could climb trees."
Charles mocked, Maria Carter was just not the studying type.
He was eager to see how Maria Carter would act once the monthly test results were out.
At that moment, Charles’ phone rang.
Charles answered the call, and after listening for a bit, his expression changed.
"Amelia, can you help me ask for a leave? My grandma has gone missing, I need to go find her."
Charles was clearly anxious.
Old Lady Pond was getting old and a bit senile, so the family had placed her in a nearby high-class nursing home for convenient treatment.
Unexpectedly, this early morning, the nurse discovered Old Lady Pond was missing.
Seeing Charles’s anxious state, Amelia also showed concern,
"Charles, don’t panic.
I’ll ask for leave with you, to help you look for her.
Your grandma is like my own."
Charles was touched by Amelia’s thoughtfulness.
"What does your grandma look like? Shall we report to the police?"
The two asked for leave and left the school, then Amelia asked.
Charles pulled out his phone, opened the photo album, and handed a family photo to Amelia.
Amelia was shocked when she saw the elderly lady in the photo.
"What a coincidence, isn’t this the same old lady Emily was helping by the roadside?"
Amelia now regretted it; had she known that was Charles’s grandma, she would have voluntarily helped, leaving a good impression on the elderly lady.
"I know where your grandma is.
Earlier, I saw an old lady who fell on the roadside.
She looked so pitiful by herself, I was rushing to the class, so I sent her to the small clinic across the street.
I planned to contact her family after class."
Upon hearing this, Charles immediately sighed in relief, grabbing Amelia’s hand gratefully,
"Amelia, I really owe you this time, if it weren’t for you, who knows what might have happened to grandma.
My parents will surely be grateful to you."
Amelia didn’t clarify the details, and they immediately went to the clinic to find Old Lady Pond.
Charles and Amelia arrived at the clinic.
Inside the clinic indeed sat an old lady wearing a hospital gown.
When Charles walked in, Emily was administering acupuncture to the old lady.
At the sight of the old lady’s back, Charles recognized her as his grandmother.
But the next moment, seeing Emily’s actions, Charles’s heart almost stopped.
What is that woman doing?
The needle in her hand was about twenty to thirty centimeters long, and at that moment, she was inserting it into grandma’s temple!
What is she trying to do!
She’s trying to harm grandma!
"Stop, what are you doing!"
Charles’s face changed dramatically, he shouted and rushed up to stop Emily "from committing harm".
