“Perhaps it’s a good idea to look into a few more options and get the results, and then I can have a
look.”
Olivia was pondering her next steps in treatment. Lindy came over to ask, and she replied
absentmindedly.
Seeing that Olivia’s expression didn’t change and didn’t look angry, Lindy secretly heaved a sigh of
relief.
However, she was still a little worried.
She observed Olivia’s expression and exined carefully, “Ms. Olivia, it’s not that I doubt your medical
skills. I need to go to the hospital for a checkup, and I thought I might as well have Anthony checked.”
Olivia held a pen in her hand, and at Lindy’s words, she raised her gaze. The pen twirled between her
fingers, and she smiled slightly. “Are you afraid I’ll get angry?” she asked.
Lindy squeezed her fingers and smiled awkwardly. “No.”
Her answer was not what she thought.
Olivia tilted her head and curved her beautiful eyes. She suddenly chuckled as if she found it hrious,
and her shoulders trembled slightly.
“I’m not a monster, so don’t be afraid of me. Besides, a medical equipment check is always more
precise. I’m not that petty.”
In the past few days, Olivia had not left the house much.
It wasn’t that they were cold or busy but that the Patterson family’s attitude was bing more and
more strange. They looked cautious and serious, not like they were facing a doctor at all, but like they
were serving a member of the royal family.
They treated her carefully.
Everyone was afraid of showing even the slightest neglect.
At the same time, Gillian sat in the back row of a Rolls–Royce with a ck pill in her hand.
She lowered her head and sniffed it.
This was the new life–saving pill that had yet to be named.
Gillian already had a few options in mind, but she had yet to decide
11:15
which name to use.
Healix sat beside her with a dark expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lindsay, who was in the front passenger seat, felt bored. She turned around, leaned against the back
seat, and asked, “Grandpa, are we going to the Patterson family just like this? Maybe we should let
them know that we areing?”
Healix did not reply. He only looked up at her, then closed his eyes and leaned against the back seat to
rest.
Lindsay pouted. She felt that her grandfather was so annoying and made her look like a fool.
She turned to Gillian and asked, “Gillian, what do you think?”
Gillian’s lips curled into a faint smile, but she did not answer. Instead, she just stared at the ck pill.
“Be quiet,” Healix opened his eyes and reprimanded Lindsay sternly. Lindsay’s face turned pale. She
was a little embarrassed and snorted. “Am I wrong? How can you go to someone else’s house without
telling me in advance?”
Looking at his granddaughter’s confused expression, Healix sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want
to tell them, but Gabriel is no longer answering my call.”
Lindsay’s eyes widened and asked, “Why?”
Gillian also looked at Healix. However, unlike Lindsay, she understood what Healix meant.
Gabriel was unwilling to help them!
If they wanted to get the medicine test report and clinical trial approval number, they would have to rely
on the Patterson family’s help.
However, the Patterson family did not intend to give them a hand.
He even deliberately avoided answering Healix’s phone calls. If it weren’t for the unexpected visit, they
wouldn’t have seen him at all.
Gillian knew that Healix’s words were meant for her, to show his
dedication.
However, Gillian did not take his words seriously.
She even felt that Healix was not doing his job well. If not for the fact that
Healix Pharmaceuticals had made a life–saving medicine, she seriously
11:15
wanted to kick him out of thepany.
He couldn’t even do such a small thing well. His ability was too poor. She asked, “Didn’t you mention
me to Gabriel?”
Healix’s expression changed, and his eyes widened.
Gillian frowned and said, “You should have mentioned me to him and told him that the Smith family
would never treat him unfairly.”
“Who do you think you are? Even Isaac would not say things like this!” he thought.
Healix suppressed his surging anger and turned to look out of the window.
He regretted working with Gillian, for he found her arrogant. “What did she think the Smith family was?
The royal family?

“Had she just said that the Smith family would never treat him unfairly? “How dare she say it out loud!”
thought he.
Unfortunately, it was toote. He was already on board, and there was no way to back out. He could
only grit his teeth and move forward.
Healix closed his eyes and ced his hopes on Jarron, hoping that he had a brain.
Otherwise, Healix Pharmaceuticals would be ruined!
As soon as Gillian arrived at the Patterson family, Gabriel went to his room and instructed Lindy, “Tell
them that I’m not at home.”
Lindy was worried. “I heard that Isaac’s eldest granddaughter, Gillian, is also here. If we do this, will
Ms. Olivia be upset?”
Gabriel shook his head. “Don’t worry about it. Just pretend you don’t know the rtionship between
Gillian and Ms. Olivia.”
Lindy was still hesitant and said, “I don’t think that is a good idea…”
Gabriel was anxious and asked, “This is life–threatening. Do you know why Healix is here?”
Lindy looked at him.
Gabriel said, “They want me to use my connections to get the drug identification report and clinical trial
approval. I haven’t even seen the fucking medication. How can I do an evaluation? They’re practically
asking for my life!”
Medication was not a trifling matter. If someone died from it, who was
11:15 D
going to take responsibility?
Even if his connections were strong, they would not be able to escape the consequences.
Although Lindy didn’t handle these matters directly, she had heard Gabriel talk about them. She knew
how things worked.
Hearing her husband’s words, she immediately became nervous and shook her head. “No, we can’t
help them,” she said.
As she spoke, she pushed him to his room. “Go to your room right now. I’ll take care of things here.”
Due to Olivia’s influence, Lindy, while not particrly fond of Gillian and her group, also dared not show
any neglect.
They could pretend not to know about Olivia and Gillian’s rtionship, but they couldn’t truly remain
ignorant, especially if they treated Gillian harshly.
While they could act ignorant for a while, if they neglected Gillian for real, Ms. Olivia might feel
ufortable.
Healix had been to the Patterson family before.
Back then, he had always driven the car to the parking lot and had been led to the house by a servant.
However, this time, the car drove straight into the courtyard and stopped on thewn at the entrance.
Healix was a bit surprised and could not help but turn to look at Gillian. “Could it be because of her?
“Not only that, but Lindy also personally came out to wee me, words filled with enthusiasm and
respect,” he thought.
her
The longer Healix stayed in the Patterson family, the more surprised he became.
As far as he knew, Lindy had a somewhat aloof personality. Due to her son’s frail health, she often had
a furrowed brow and seemed concerned, making her interactions with others less than warm.
He considered her as a nice person.
But today, Lindy’s behavior was out of his expectations.
She was not only warm and friendly but also considerate in every way, talking to Gillian as if she were a
royal family member.
No matter what Gillian said, she would nod and agree. She was clean song with her.
Only when Gillian mentioned Gabriel did her expression bemanne wadecadial efrained Tom afrand
