After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 118 - 115: Elderly Dementia Patients
Chapter 118: Chapter 115: Elderly Dementia Patients
Charles Pond’s arrival was sudden, and Abigail Long quickly stopped him.
"What are you yelling about?
Didn’t you see?
We’re treating this elderly person here, and your yelling could disrupt the treatment."
Acupuncture is delicate work; if you’re not careful and hit the wrong acupoint, trouble ensues.
"That’s my grandma.
What do you people want to do to her?
I knew you hurt me last time, now you want to harm my grandma too?"
When Charles Pond saw Emily Parker, he became angry.
"Amelia, call the police quickly, say someone here is trying to harm an elderly person."
Charles Pond didn’t believe a word Abigail Long said; his grandma had moderate dementia, and not even the top hospitals at home and abroad could treat it.
What would a little nurse from this run-down clinic know about acupuncture?
It was clear that Emily Parker wanted to harm his grandma.
As if Emily Parker had not heard the argument, she continued to insert needles into the elderly person.
Charles Pond pushed Abigail Long aside and tried to rush over.
Emily Parker didn’t even bother to glance at him. As her hand shook, the needle flew out whoosh and struck Charles Pond’s knee.
He felt a numbness in his knee, and then his right lower limb went numb, and he suddenly fell to his knees.
"My leg, my leg is so numb."
Charles Pond was in pain and numb; he was too scared to move.
"Emily Parker, what have you done to Charles Pond?
I’m going to call the police."
Amelia Willow was also startled; she didn’t dare to approach, afraid that Emily Parker would also stab her with a needle.
"If anything happens to my grandma, the Pond Family will never let you get away with it."
Charles Pond watched in desperation as Emily Parker continued her "fearsome" acupuncture on his grandma, growing increasingly frantic.
"Quiet down, who allowed you to cause a ruckus here."
After Emily Parker had inserted the last needle, the previously silent Old Lady Pond suddenly opened her eyes.
Looking quite displeased, she turned and glared at Charles Pond.
Seeing the clarity in the old lady’s eyes, unlike her usual self, Charles Pond’s mouth hung open, as if a chicken egg was stuck in it, unable to utter a single word.
His grandma doesn’t have moderate dementia?
"What are you yelling about, you scoundrel? Didn’t you see Doctor Parker giving me acupuncture?"
The old lady got up gleaming with vitality.
"Grandma, you... you are no longer confused?"
Charles Pond’s face was filled with shock, forgetting about his numb leg.
"It’s you who’s confused."
The old lady said this, a smile on her face, as she grasped Emily Parker’s hand.
"Doctor Parker, I really owe you for this.
After just a few needles, I suddenly feel much clearer in my head."
Amelia Willow was also stunned.
Could it be that Emily Parker actually knew something about acupuncture?
Impossible.
She had known Emily Parker for many years and had never heard her brother mention that she knew acupuncture. Besides, Emily Parker studied nursing, not Chinese medicine.
It must have been a fluke.
Amelia Willow quickly forced a smile, looking obedient as she walked over to Old Lady Pond,
"Grandma, I’m relieved you’re okay, Charles and I were so worried just now."
Old Lady Pond’s face had been full of smiles a moment ago, but when she turned and saw Amelia Willow, her brow furrowed,
"I’m not your grandmother."
Her gaze was icy cold, emanating an air that kept people at bay.
Charles Pond limped over to Amelia Willow and Old Lady Pond on his numb leg.
"Grandma, this is Amelia Willow.
She’s my classmate.
Don’t you recognize her?
You just thanked the wrong person.
You should really be thanking Amelia.
Earlier, when you fainted by the side of the road, it was Amelia who brought you here."
Amelia Willow bowed her head obediently; she had heard from Charles that before Old Lady Pond got dementia, she had been the matriarch of the Pond Family, treated with great respect by all her children.
Since she was dating Charles and hoped to marry into the Pond Family in the future, she naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with the elderly lady in advance.
The old lady’s smile seemed sarcastic,
"Oh? Was it her who brought me to this small clinic?
Then how is it that I heard someone calling me an old scam artist pretending to be hurt?"
Amelia Willow couldn’t hold her smile any longer.
She had never expected that although the old lady seemed unconscious, her ears had still picked up what Amelia had said earlier.
In a hurry, Amelia Willow said,
"Charles, now that grandma has been found, you should first notify your aunt and uncle so they don’t worry.
I need to go back to class."
She left in a rush.
Her strange behavior went unnoticed by Charles Pond, who smilingly asked Old Lady Pond,
"Grandma, are you really not confused anymore?
Mom and Dad will be so happy to know, I’ll call them right away."
"Wait, don’t rush the call, what’s the deal with that girl?
Didn’t you used to be on good terms with Maria Carter from the Carter Family?"
Old Master Carter had a decent relationship with Old Lady Pond, and the two families went way back. However, due to her dementia in recent years and being sent to a nursing home, her interactions with Old Master Carter had lessened.
Old Lady Pond still had a very good impression of Maria Carter and had taken her for her future granddaughter-in-law.
