Chapter 842


    Immediately, Arielle discerned that Cornelius’ soothing pills were unlike the ones sold on markets. The


    soothing pills he’d created could also protect the cardiovascr system,


    In a dire situation like this, it stabilized the girl’s body and temporarily saved her life.


    However, these pills were sure toe at a hefty cost. A single nce at the couple’s shabby clothing


    informed Arielle that they must not be able to afford its price.


    Arielle took her ATM card out of her pocket. She decided to pay for the couple as well.


    “How did she get like this? Wasn’t she resting at home after her heart surgery? She shouldn’t be


    convulsing like this. Did she exert herself?” Cornellus asked the couple.


    The woman was crying hysterically. Amidst her sobs, she could barely muster a coherent reply.


    Her husband, who was much calmer, replied on her behalf, “Dr. Mill, thank you for your generosity.


    After the free surgery your sister performed on Jennie, she has been resting at home. We wouldn’t


    even let her leave the bed! She started convulsing out of the blue.”


    Grimly, Cornelius checked Jennie’s pulse.


    After a few seconds, Cornelius said, “Judging from her condition earlier, she must be suffering from a

    severe allergy reaction. I asked the hospital to run an allergy test before her heart surgery. It turns out


    that she’s allergic to penicillin and honey. Was she exposed to these two substances?”


    Jennie’s father shook his head. “We are aware of her penicillin allergy. We have always made sure that


    she avoids that. However, there are no bees near our house. She hasn’t even left her room.”


    “That’s strange…” Cornelius frowned, deep in thought. “To give her the right treatment, we need to


    identify the allergen before her symptoms arise again. Think again. Have you missed out on


    something? Maybe, a guest dropped by your house recently. We can’t dismiss the possibility that a


    guest might have brought in a bee by ident.”


    Yet, the couple shook their heads again. “There shouldn’t be any guests. Every day, we work until


    dawn. Save for your asional visits to check on Jennie; no one will visit such a shabby ce like


    ours.”


    All of a sudden, Cornelius noticed a number of red welts scattered across Jennie’s arm.


    “These are allergy symptoms.” He pointed at the welts. “Try to recall if something happened to her


    within these two days.”


    Promptly, Jennie roused from her unconsciousness.


    “Jennie! Were there any guests recently? Did a bee sting you?” her father cried out.


    Sluggishly, Jennie shook her head as she tried to push herself upright. To her surprise, she could not


    move her legs.


    “It’s best if we send her to the hospital. The hospital can run a full medical check-up,” Cornelius said


    solemnly.


    “The hospital…” An awkward look crossed the couple’s faces.


    Before they could reply, Jennie spoke up. “Dr. Mill, we can’t afford the hospital fees. Why don’t you give


    me a prescription? I don’t want to burden my parents any further.”


    Her daughter’s selfless words caused the woman to burst into tears again.


    I am more than willing to pay for your hospital fees. How could money be more important than your


    life?* Cornelius retorted.


    “Dr. MIII, we owe you too much. We can’t keep leeching off your generosity. After all, you were the one


    who paid for Jennie’s heart surgery. We can’t bear to ept any more of your help,” the woman said


    with teary eyes.


    “This looks like a tick allergy,” a feminine voice stated from behind.
