Chapter 130 Don't Want to Betray Andrew's Trust
Olivia rarely heard him speak in such a serious tone, and guessed that this elder must have a close relationship with his family.
Naturally, she wouldn't refuse. "I can give it a try."
Andrew didn't pressure her, saying gently, "Just do what you can. If it doesn't work out, don't push yourself too hard. Mr. Hall's heart condition is a chronic problem that has stumped many doctors."
Olivia felt a warmth in her heart and replied, "Okay!"
After they finished talking, Andrew gave Olivia an address.
It was The Hall Family's residence in Emerald City.
After all, it was a matter of life and death. Even though Olivia was already exhausted, she decided to go right away.
After hanging up, Daniel casually asked, "Who just called you?"
Though he couldn't hear clearly, it seemed to be a man's voice?
Looking at Olivia's attitude toward the caller, it seemed somewhat different.
Olivia replied offhandedly, "Bianca's therapist. I mentioned him to you before. He asked me to help see a patient... The person's condition doesn't sound good. I'll head over there first."
Daniel frowned, somewhat disapproving. "You haven't slept all night. If you don't rest first, you'll end up getting sick yourself!"
"I'm not that fragile."
Olivia didn't take it seriously. She gathered her things and prepared to leave.
Seeing her brush it off, Daniel couldn't help but click his tongue. He then straightened his suit collar and said, "I'll have my driver take you. The way you are now, if you drive yourself, I'll probably have to help you deal with a traffic accident later."
Olivia looked at him speechlessly. "Can't you wish me well for once?"
Complaints aside, she didn't refuse his kindness in the end.
For her own safety and others', she really shouldn't drive in a dangerous state.
A while later, she left the research institute and headed to the Hall Villa.
When she arrived, she saw an expansive building with vintage architecture.
Classic and elegant, with beautiful surroundings!
Olivia took a quick look around and prepared to knock on the door.
But unexpectedly, the door opened first, and someone came out from inside.
Olivia stopped and looked closely.
Caught off guard, she saw two familiar figures.
It was... Michael and Sophia!
Behind them were a young man and woman.
Judging by their dress and outstanding demeanor, they must be from The Hall Family.
At that moment, John was speaking. "This time, my grandfather's condition improved thanks to you two. Regarding your miracle drug, The Hall Family will definitely help promote it and introduce you to the leaders of Harmony City's pharmaceutical bureau."
Michael replied calmly, "As long as we could help Mr. Hall, that's good!"
Sophia suppressed her joy and added, "Mr. John Hall and Ms. Hall, please don't be so polite. Being able to help Mr. George Hall is our honor. Now that his condition has improved, the important thing is for him to rest and recover. As for the introduction, there's no rush."
Her words were caring and humble, winning favorable impressions from The Hall Family siblings.
During their conversation, Michael, with his sharp eyes, was the first to notice Olivia's presence.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly as he said in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
The other three looked over.
Olivia's eyes were ice cold.
She really hadn't expected to run into these two here.
What bad luck!
Toward the people who had just stolen confidential information from her research institute, she was naturally full of anger.
However, she hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit.
She looked up at The Hall Family siblings and said coolly, "Hello, my name is Olivia. I was asked to come treat Mr. Hall. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to go in and see him."
Before The Hall Family siblings could respond, Sophia couldn't sit still.
The Hall Family was a connection she had worked so hard to establish, and now this Olivia actually had the nerve to come and interfere.
This woman really was like a lingering ghost.
But falling into her hands could be considered Olivia's bad luck.
Sophia smiled with ill intent. "Olivia, you're too late. We've already cured Mr. Hall's illness."
Olivia was slightly stunned.
When did she and Michael have such abilities?
An uneasy feeling arose in her heart, and a thought quickly flashed through her mind.
Could it be...
As if to confirm her suspicion, Sophia, where Michael couldn't see, deliberately showed Olivia a smug smile. "You must have seen the news these past few days, right? Our Johnson Group 'developed' a miracle drug for heart conditions. As soon as it launched, it received huge acclaim. Even Mr. Hall came seeking it out.
Now he's already taken the medicine, and his health has improved!"
When she said this, she deliberately emphasized the word 'developed,' intending to provoke Olivia.
Olivia's expression changed dramatically. "What did you say? You gave that miracle drug to Mr. Hall?"
"Of course! Our miracle drug has excellent therapeutic effects for heart disease patients! Shortly after Mr. Hall took it, his heart condition was relieved. As long as he takes the medicine regularly going forward, he'll definitely recover completely."
At this point, Sophia's eyes flashed with malice. "Speaking of which, we should thank you for this, Olivia. The Johnson Group's pharmaceutical research succeeded partly because you kept targeting us, forcing us to push ourselves harder.
Now that we've launched before you, you don't mind, do you?"
Olivia felt so disgusted by these words she could almost vomit.
How could she not hear that Sophia was deliberately trying to anger her?
Stealing someone else's hard work and actually feeling superior about it.
She had never seen such a shameless person in her entire life!
Olivia's gaze turned cold as ice. "Sophia, you're such an idiot! Without the ability, you insisted on taking on this task. You don't even understand basic pharmacology, yet you gathered a bunch of people to work on pharmaceutical development.
Someone as profit-driven and underhanded as you will get someone killed sooner or later!"
She didn't want to waste words with her.
The matter of stealing research data could be settled later, but right now, saving a life was more urgent.
She didn't want to let Andrew down or fail his trust!
Olivia quickly said to The Hall Family siblings, "Mr. John Hall, Ms. Hall, please let me in right now, immediately, to treat Mr. George Hall!
The Johnson Group's medicine can't be taken. It can't cure illness at all. On the contrary, it will damage Mr. George Hall's heart function. If this drags on, the consequences will be dire. By the time we try to save him, it might be too late!"
The Hall Family siblings frowned almost instantly.
Compared to the suddenly appearing Olivia, they clearly trusted Michael and Sophia more.
John said coldly, "Miss, please don't talk nonsense. After my grandfather took The Johnson Group's medicine, his condition has already improved. It's not as you say!"
Grace was also somewhat displeased. "Stop cursing my grandfather. He finally got better, and you dare say he can't be saved?"
Michael's expression was even more displeased. "Olivia, what's the point of this? I know you can't accept losing to Sophia, but if you don't have the ability, you don't have it. You need to accept that!"
Sophia was even more triumphant. "Olivia, why are you slandering us? Whether the medicine works or not, the patient's response won't lie! You're a doctor yourself, you should know that, right?"
Not to mention, this was medicine you developed.
If you say it now, wouldn't you be denying yourself?
