Chapter 760 Monica''s Request


    The pain failed to recede. Monica rubbed her chest hard. Audrey''s face looked serious, and the mask


    she wore did little to detract attention from her eyes and eyebrows'' beauty. She said in a kind voice,


    "Don''t do that, madam. It will only make things worse. You''ll be fine in a little while. The medicine we


    injected you with will take effect in about ten minutes."


    Monica''s head was covered with sweat. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she ced her


    hands by the bed and looked at Audrey with trembling eyes.

    A nurse was cleaning the equipment nearby. Audrey smiled at Monica. "Don''t worry, madam. The heart


    disease is not that severe, but please, try not to get too worked up in future. You should keep things


    light."


    Still feeling a little weak, Monica stammered, "When we step out, can you…can you describe my


    condition to my son as though it''s more serious?"


    The doctor frowned. "Why? Do you want your son to worry about you?"


    "To some extent, yes. My son has always been obedient. But ever since he started dating this girlfriend


    of his a few months back, he''s begun to disobey me. He''s been annoying me repeatedly ofte."


    Monica stared at Audrey''s eyes. She didn''t know why, but she had a gut feeling that this doctor would


    help her.


    "So you want your son to break up with his girlfriend, and that''s why you want me to lie?" Audrey


    smirked as realization dawned on her.


    ''Surely, all mothers-inw are vicious, '' she thought. Staring at the patient, she suddenly remembered


    her grandmother. Back then, she had also tried to get her parents to divorce.


    "Yes, doctor. Please, do me this favor. That seductress haspletely brainwashed my son. He


    doesn''t listen to me anymore. If it goes on like this, I might die." Frowning, Monica was disgusted at the


    thought of Fiona''s innocent face.


    Audrey curled her lips. "But… as doctors, our ethics are important to us. What you''re asking of me


    goes against the code."


    Monica''s eyes seemed to go nk. Suddenly reaching out, she grabbed Audrey''s hand. "Please,


    doctor. Just tell my son that I''m seriously ill and can''t bear any agitation."


    Audrey could not refuse her patient''s request. She went against her conscience and decided to y


    along.


    She looked solemn as she apanied the nurse who wheeled Monica out.


    By the time the emergency room doors burst open, Ethon''s nerves were already frayed. He walked


    towards his mother and saw her lying on the bed with a deathly pallor on her face. Her lips were pursed


    as if she was unwilling to talk.


    Audrey asked that Monica be transferred to a ward as she needed to remain under observation for


    three more days. Then she saw Ethon. Calming herself, she asked, "Who is the patient''s family?"


    Fiona was Mandy''s younger sister, and Ethon was Fiona''s boyfriend. Audrey had seen them in Adrian''s


    ward before. However, she hadn''t expected that the woman who had been begging her in the operating


    room would be Ethon''s mother.


    The woman wanted her son to break up with Fiona. Audrey found it funny. It was like she just


    identally discovered a big secret. She felt quite excited.


    "I am her son," Ethon answered in a tired voice.


    "Come with me." Audrey cast an in-depth look at Ethon and then at Fiona.


    Fiona met her gaze. ''Isn''t she the female doctor that Mandy talked about?'' she pondered. She


    remembered that Mandy had looked repulsed when she''d talked about the doctor. She imagined that


    Audrey was not a kind person.


    Ethon followed Audrey down the corridor. Worriedly, he asked, "How''s my mother doing?"


    "Her condition isn''t fatal, but the heart disease is quite serious. She can''t bear any emotional trauma at


    this time. As her son, you have to be more attentive to your mother''s moods." Audrey''s tone remained


    serious despite her smile.


    Hearing that his mother''s illness wasn''t fatal, Ethon heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, doctor. I


    understand."


    "You''re wee. I''m just doing my job. Ensure she takes her pills promptly. Most importantly, she must


    remain in a good mood and not get agitated. That will save everyone a lot of trouble," She stressed the


    phrase "good mood." Her signature smile still yed on her lips.


    Ethon merely smiled back since he did not know what else to say.


    On the other side, Sh and Fiona had followed the nurse to Monica''s ward. As her condition


    improved, Sh acted anxiously and sat beside the bed. It was the perfect opportunity to win Monica''s


    affection.


    "Aunt Monica, how are you feeling now? Are youfortable?"


    "I''m fine. I''m fine. I won''t die yet. Someone may be disappointed if I do." With her voice full of


    resentment, Monica red at Fiona through hate-filled eyes.


    Fiona clenched her fists and thought, ''I am such a fool! Why did Ie inside? Why am I asking for


    trouble? I''m giving Monica the chance to mock me, aren''t I?''


    "Aunt Monica, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Sh asked after looking at her


    wristwatch. She realized that it was time for dinner.


    With a satisfied smile stered on her face, Monica took Sh''s hand fondly. "Yes, I''m a little hungry.


    I''d like to eat some porridge."


    "Then I''ll go buy you some," Sh volunteered. Her victorious smile was as bright as the warm summer


    sunshine.


    "Okay," Monica answered. It just so happened that she had something to say to Fiona.


    Once Sh left, Fiona felt like an outsider. She mocked herself, ''Why am I still here? Ethon hasn''t


    come back yet, but it''ll look awkward if I leave now. As his girlfriend, it is my responsibility to take care


    of his mother.''
