Chapter 438
Having retrieved the syringe, Gina said, "Since it wasn't you, there's no issue." With that, she turned and left.
Left alone in disarray, Ashley wondered if Gina had left without any plans for retaliation. Wasn't she going to take advantage of Ashley's illness to exact some revenge? But once she was sure that Gina had left, Ashley breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately called out loudly for the Anny, who hurried in, asking. "Miss Jackson, what's wrong?"
"Lock the doors light, and don't open for anyonel Ashley exclaimed in agitation. "Alright, alright." the nanny nodded frantically.
The next day, Gina arrived at Cathy's ward. After another round of treatment, Cathy was out of danger and transferred to a regular ward. She had also regained consciousness
"So you're saying that you accidentally came into contact with the waste fluid in the medical garbage that day, and that's how it happened?" Gina asked. "Yes, Mr. Jackson was busy on the phone then, and I offered to help. It was my carelessness," Cathy said. She attributed it to her misfortune.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Gina nodded. "Don't worry, I'll ensure you're well again," she reassured Cathy. Cathy felt a wave of despair wash over her. Despite Gina's comforting words, she couldn't shake the feeling of hopelessness. If even the excellent medical facilities at Prover Hospital couldn't identify the virus ravaging her body, how could she expect to be cured? Gina's kindness was appreciated, but Cathy knew deep down that her condition was likely terminal. As she reflected on her tumultuous life, filled with mistakes and heartbreak, Cathy couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the unfairness of it all.
Cathy couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke, her voice trembling. "Okay, Miss Miller. But how much will the treatment cost? if it's too much, I won't be able to afford it. M-Maybe I should give up on treatment. Her words choked with emotion.
Gina understood Cathy's concems well. "Don't worry about the cost. Just focus on getting better. Helping you is helping myself, too. You're not a burden to me." Cathy was taken aback and asked, "Miss Miller, what do you mean?" "I've been infected with the same virus as you," Gina explained.
Cathy was surprised and sat up straight, although her body felt uncomfortable, causing her to cough violently. She scrutinized Gina and asked, "Miss Miller, are you okay then?"
"I'm fine for now. The extent of how this virus might affect me in the long run is unclear, so further observation is needed. But I'm not too worried about it, Gina assured. She was confident she could manage the virus.
Miss Miller, if there's any need for testing medication, you can go ahead and try it on me, Cathy offered, feeling relieved after Gina's reassurance Gina looked at Cathy in surprise. "Do you know what you're saying? Testing medication on you sounds like I'm treating you as an experimental subject. That's illegal. Besides, as I mentioned, ril treat you and not use you as an experimental subject. We'll both be taking the medication and if you experience any adverse reactions, you need to inform me immediately. Our bodies may react differently to the virus due to our physiological differences, so the symptoms of the virus may also vary between us."
Cathy realized she had misspoken and hurried to explain, "Miss Miller, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant at all. I didn't mean to suggest you treat me like an experimental subject. I feel like lowe you so much, and if there's any way I can repay you, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
In reality, Gina didn't feel like Cathy owed her anything. Instead, she felt guilty that Cathy got caught in the crossfire of Ashley's retaliation against her Gina continued, "Don't worry, I won't hesitate to ask if I need your help with anything. But for now, your priority is to take care of your health and to low my instructions, understood?"
"Understood!" Cathy nodded. Then, with a tinge of frustration, she added, "Miss Miller, it's all my fault. Nothing would have happened if I had been more careful that day." She realized she had caused trouble for Gina again.
"It's not your fault. No one could have anticipated such an unexpected turn of events." Gina shook her head reassuringly.
Seven days later, Harry was finally released from the detention center, walking out with a saor expression. Ashley was waiting at the entrance to greet him.
"Dad!" Ashley hurriedly greeted him, offering to welcome Harry back home and help him shake off any bad luck.
"Ashley, how have you been while I was away?" Harry asked, embracing Ashley and looking somewhat believed.
"Nothing to worry about. I've been doing well," Ashley replied. Then she asked, "Dad, how was it for you inside? You weren't mistreated or anything, were you?" He wasn't mistreated, but Harry couldn't believe he'd been detained at this stage! He pondered, "Dylan Thomas, what a b**d! How dare he refuse to settle? Just wait! I won't let him off the h**k!' Harry couldn't shake the feeling that Gina might have persuaded Dylan to refuse the settlement, to see him detained and humiliated.
"By the way, Ashley, did Gina Miller come to see you for a check-up these past few days?" Harry didn't want to dwell on the infuriating issues that could drive him crazy. His priority was Ashley's health. During the seven days in detention, the only thing he couldn't shake off was concern for Ashley's weak health.
However, today, Ashley's complexion was much better than seven days ago. Gina's medical skills seem somewhat effective. If they weren't, he wouldn't let Gina off the h**k! He paid her 200 million dollars, so there would be consequences if it didn't work!
Ashley shook her head. "No."
Harry's face darkened as he pondered, 'I'd spent 200 million dollars on Gina Miller's consultation, and she only checked Ashley once? D**n it, what's with this so-called "Dr. Genevieve"? She's nothing but a crooked doctor!" Ashley paused before speaking, "Dad, Gina Miller didn't come to visit me, but a few nights ago, she showed up at my door unexpectedly and threatened
'mel"
bling with fear then, unsure of whom to turn to for protection. Harry was in the detention center, and reporting Gina to the authorities Ashley was trembling seemed futile since she hadn't caused substantial harm. Seeking help from Gabriel or her uncle seemed pointless, as they supported Gina. Fortunately, Gina didn't show up the following days, easing Ashley's fears.
Harry was taken aback. "What did you say? Did she threaten you? How did she threaten you?" Harry thought, 'How could that b**h dare to threaten my daughter!'
"She asked if linject some virus into that b**h Cathy Fowler? Moreover, She's dying. Diddo something like that?' I didn't do anything like that!" Ashley said.
