Chapter 132 The Face-Slapping Came Too Fast
John and Grace's expressions changed again when they heard this.
Andrew...
Only then did they remember this matter.
During dinner, that person had indeed called to say he'd recommended a doctor.
But at the time, the two siblings were busy entertaining Sophia and Michael, so they didn't really pay attention to it.
After George took the medicine and his condition improved, they'd completely forgotten about it.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on John's forehead.
Someone that even Andrew specifically instructed not to neglect - what had the two of them done???
John quickly apologized again, "Dr. Smith, I apologize once more for our rudeness earlier. Afterwards, whatever you want us to do to make amends, we'll do it. But could you please, for Andrew's sake, save my grandfather first? Please!"
Grace's expression at this moment was naturally quite complicated too.
She hadn't expected that the person she'd looked down on and made things difficult for would be the miracle doctor recommended by that person.
She was used to being arrogant, and for a moment couldn't bring herself to apologize.
Olivia clearly had no good feelings toward these two people.
Especially Grace!
If she could, she really wanted to just leave.
But considering she'd promised Andrew, she still suppressed her displeasure.
She didn't want him to lose an elder he valued - that was all!
"Lead the way."
Olivia quickly said to the butler.
The butler naturally didn't dare be negligent and quickly invited her in respectfully.
John, sensing her coldness, gave a bitter smile and hurried in after her.
As for Sophia, she was starting to feel uneasy.
That medicine came from Olivia's hands. She'd just said there was a problem with it, and now George was really showing symptoms...
If it was all true, how was she supposed to handle this situation?
After all, her reputation was already out there.
Most importantly... if Michael found out she'd stolen the formula, how would she explain that?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Sophia had planned to pull Michael and leave.
But Michael went in!
Whether or not George's sudden illness was related to the Johnson Group's medicine, they couldn't leave today.
Once they left, there'd be no way to explain things!
Seeing this, Sophia could only bite the bullet and stay.
Inside the room, Olivia had already assessed George's condition.
Just as the butler had said - sudden shock, weak breathing, slow heartbeat - very abnormal. It was the effects of the Heartrest Capsule spreading that had caused this crisis.
Olivia's expression was serious. Not daring to delay, she immediately began treating George.
John asked worriedly from the side, "Dr. Smith, my grandfather will be okay, won't he?"
Olivia didn't even look at him, her tone cold. "If you'd let me in earlier, he wouldn't have gotten this bad! Move aside, don't crowd around. Let the air circulate. Open all the windows. Anyone not needed, get out and don't get in my way!
Butler, please bring some hot water, and also drinking water - warm water - and bring a small spoon!"
"Yes."
The butler took the order and quickly went to handle it.
Taking this opportunity, Olivia began treatment.
Her movements were efficient, with almost no pause.
When she finally finished, the butler had just brought the water.
After taking it, she put the improved special medicine into the water to dissolve, then slowly fed it into George's mouth spoonful by spoonful.
George was still unconscious, so taking the medicine was clearly difficult. A lot spilled out.
Seeing this, John immediately volunteered, "Dr. Smith, does he need support? Let me do it?"
Olivia glanced at him briefly but didn't refuse this time. "Just lift his neck slightly."
"Okay."
John carefully did as told.
This time, the old man managed to take the medicine more smoothly.
Just then, George suddenly coughed, and his originally weak breathing seemed to regain some strength.
His heart, which had nearly stopped, also gradually resumed beating.
John, supporting him, felt it most clearly.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She'd actually... reversed the critical situation in such a short time?
Olivia looked completely unsurprised.
Although George had taken the medicine over an hour ago, fortunately it hadn't been too long. The improved special medicine could sustain his life and give her time to treat him.
Later, after removing the needles, George, who had been unconscious, woke up directly.
"Grandfather!!!"
John was overjoyed and immediately went forward to ask, "How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
George was still a bit weak, but could speak normally. "I... seem to be okay? Just now, I suddenly felt a dull pain in my heart, tightness in my chest and shortness of breath. I thought I was going to die like that! But now, I don't seem uncomfortable? My breathing is smooth, and my heart doesn't feel like it can't catch its breath."
John's eyes reddened. "This is all thanks to Dr. Smith!"
He briefly explained what had happened tonight, including why he'd had this sudden episode.
After listening, George's gaze fell on Olivia's face, his expression kind and gentle. "That boy Andrew really introduced me to a good doctor. Thank you, young lady. Otherwise tonight, I probably would have gone to meet the Grim Reaper!"
Olivia didn't have any bad feelings toward George.
His face was dignified and wise, yet warm and loving, reminding her of Joseph.
She responded calmly, "You don't need to be too polite. I promised someone I'd save you... However, your life is saved, but because you took the Johnson Group's special medicine, the damage to your heart still exists. To fully recover, you'll need multiple treatments."
George nodded. "Then I'll trouble you for the follow-up treatment. Andrew told me your medical skills are excellent and you can definitely solve my problem. Today I was confused and believed rumors, actually taking medicine that nearly killed me..."
Speaking of this, his expression darkened slightly as he looked sternly at Michael and Sophia outside.
Sophia was already feeling guilty, and now she was so scared she trembled on the spot.
Michael, however, remained composed. "Mr. Hall, this matter wasn't our intention. We never expected the medicine would bring you this kind of crisis.
The Johnson Group's desire to save you was genuine - we never wanted to harm you!
Besides, some patients naturally have adverse reactions and rejection to medications. Perhaps your condition just isn't suitable for this special medicine."
Hearing this, John immediately responded coldly, "Mr. Johnson, that's not what you said tonight. This Ms. Brown kept confidently guaranteeing that this medicine could cure my grandfather! How come you're changing your story now?"
Grace, who hadn't dared speak up earlier, now angrily added, "That's right! You kept emphasizing that this medicine had absolute effectiveness. We believed you, which is why we let my grandfather take it. Now that something's happened, you won't take responsibility?"
Olivia had been holding back her anger all evening.
Now was the perfect opportunity to expose Sophia, and she naturally wouldn't miss it.
"I think that before any patient takes medication, you should at least figure out whether they have adverse reactions to the drug. Doesn't Ms. Brown know this?
Oh, I forgot - you didn't even graduate with a medical degree!"
