Chapter 109


    Despite their disappointment, Dr. Erik and Dr. Ray both understood the rarity of the medicine. They


    knew that even without the form, the precision required in crafting the remedy, especially with the


    meticulous measurement of each ingredient, was incredibly challenging. Traditional herbal concoctions


    often demanded a level of care that mass–produced pharmaceuticals did not require. Hence, drugs


    produced through such specialized techniques were not only scarce but practically priceless. The


    concept of “not for sale at any price” aptly described their exclusivity.

    Aware that they wouldn’t glean much more from Mirabe, Dr. Erik, and Dr. Ray decided not to impose


    any further and stood to leave the room.


    Just then, the door swung open, and Mandy stepped in, flustered to see both Dr. Ray and Dr. Erik in


    the room. Her concern was palpable as she practically ignored Mirabe and asked with an urgent


    tone, “Has something elsee up with my mom’s health?”


    The two doctors were taken aback but quickly regainedposure, Dr. Ray, ever the diplomat, replied,


    “No, nothing like that.”


    At this, Mandy’s anxiety eased, and a bittersweet smile crossed her meticulously made–up face. “I


    feared the worst, seeing you here, Dr. Ray.”


    Dr. Ray adjusted the ID badge pinned to hisb coat and replied with a gentle smile, “We were merely


    inquiring about a certain medication Catherine has been taking. No other reason.”


    Mandy paused, “Medication? What medication?”


    No sooner had she spoken than she seemed to remember something, her eyes suddenly fixed on


    Mirabe. Her polite facade vanished, reced by usation, “Did you give my mother one of those


    herbal concoctions again?”


    Mirabe nced at her with a look of Indifference, clearly not interested in engaging.


    Mandy’s irritation bubbled over as she massaged her temples, “Mirabe, haven’t I warned you not to


    meddle with my mother’s treatment? After all the hard work she’s done raising you for seventeen years,


    is this how you repay her?”


    “Mandy, what nonsense are you spouting now? It’s not at all what you think. The doctors themselves


    said Mira’s medicine is excellent!”


    Catherine was exasperated by her daughter’s foolishness. Mandy always jumped to conclusions when


    it came to Mirabe, blinded by her own prejudices, especially after marrying into wealth.


    Mandy scoffed, “I didn’t want to tell you there was an issue with the herbal remedy she’s been giving


    you, but now you’re still stubbornly making excuses for her. ”


    Dr. Ray suddenly looked up, fixing Mandy with a perplexed gaze, and interjected, “Hold on, Ms. Mandy,


    perhaps there’s been some misunderstanding?”


    Caught mid–rant, Mandy was taken aback by Dr. Ray’s Interruption. It took a moment for her to regain


    her voice. “Dr. Ray, what do you mean?”


    “Ms. Mirabe’s herbal treatments are not problematic. In fact, without them, your mother might not be


    in a regr room but in the ICU,” Dr. Ray said, his tone now devoid of any earlier courtesy.


    Having witnessed all sorts of human dramas, Dr. Ray had quickly picked up on the tension between


    Mandy and the young girl beside her, likely due to ack of blood rtion, which exined the


    sharpness in Mandy’s voice.


    He wasn’t one to meddle in family affairs, but he couldn’t stand by and watch someone being unjustly


    used without knowing the full story.
