Chapter 328



The next day.

When Nora came out of her bedroom with a yawn after waking up, she saw Maureen sitting in the small living room on the second floor. Seeing her come out of her bedroom, Maureen immediately approached. “Are you awake, Nora?”

Nora nodded.

Maureen was obviously waiting for her. She asked, “I heard that…um…. You’re thinking of treating Old Maddy’s illness?”

Nora nodded again.

Before this, she hadn’t thought Old Maddy was very important, so she hadn’t paid any attention to him. Later, she found out that it might be Ryan, but that he had indeed gotten sick and lost his mind. Besides, he didn’t remember much of his past anymore.

After thinking about it the night before, Nora decided to treat his illness.

If she cured his illness, she could tell him what had happened to Ryan and his mother back then.

Of course, treating Old Maddy’s illness wasn’t going to be easy. For one thing, he was a madman, so Nora would need the Smiths to keep a constant eye on him and keep him from running all over the place.

Truth be told, if he kept visiting Old Maddy, he would undoubtedly attract other people’s attention.

Therefore, she decided to simply inform the butler of her intention to treat Old Maddy’s illness. By being open with her actions, she would avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and suspicion.

However, she did not expect all the Smiths to know after only one night.

Maureen was in a fierce internal struggle. She said, “Actually, Uncle Ian had asked someone to take a look at Old Maddy’s illness earlier. The person he had invited was even a very professional doctor who is said to be the best known psychiatrist in the world, but still, he failed to cure Old Maddy. Nora, I know you’re anxious to demonstrate your skills as a doctor, but I still don’t think it’s necessary to use Old Maddy as a springboard…”

Maureen and Warren had immediately met to secretly discuss the matter after hearing the news. They were both of the same opinion that Nora had possibly made the sudden decision because of her job.

She was a doctor, yet no one in New York dared approach her for a medical consultation.

That’s why she had chosen someone with a difficult-to-cure disease, so she could make a name for herself, right?

So, Maureen had approached her right away. She was not one to mince words, so she had expressed her thoughts bluntly.

Nora really liked her directness. That way she didn’t have to waste time guessing what exactly he was thinking. She also answered bluntly, “I’m not using him to make a name for myself. I really intend to cure him.”

After saying this, he went downstairs to the kitchen to look for food.

Maureen: “…”

After hearing Nora’s reply, she returned to the bedroom.

Warren was comfortably lying in the recliner and basking in the sun. When he heard the door open, he asked, “How did you do, did he give up?”

Maureen shook her head.

Warren frowned. Then he scoffed, “She’s stubborn, isn’t she? Since she insists on doing it, let her do what she wants! Hmph! She doesn’t understand how impressive Uncle Ian’s medical equipment is, at all. There’s no way she can cure the mental illness that even they can’t do anything against.”

Maureen rolled her eyes.

“But if she wants to treat her illness, she can. At best, we’ll just keep a closer eye on Old Maddy in the future, AND tell the outsiders that she’s shown signs of improvement!”

What could she do if that was what her little sister insisted on doing?

Maureen laughed. “You really are a man who says one thing but means another!”

Warren snorted. “How annoying. I have enough to do every day, AND I still have to clean up her mess for her! Geez, if you run into anyone while you’re out, and if they ask you about her, just tell them that it looks like her condition is much improved and at least she’s not going crazy anymore. Make Old Maddy’s condition seem as would be as possible.”

“No problem!”

Elsewhere.

After filling her stomach a bit, Nora prepared to go to the backyard to look for Old Maddy.

Old Maddy’s illness was in his brain, but it wasn’t as if something bad had formed in his brain; rather, it was a neurological problem and surgery was futile. His condition called instead for an alternative medicine.

The night before, I had carefully studied his condition and had decided to use acupuncture on him.

On her way out, she happened to pass Yvonne, who was on her way in. Nora looked away as they passed each other. She was about to walk past when Yvonne greeted her with a smile. “Going to the backyard, Nora?” she asked.

Nora stopped and gave her a long look.

The two had just had an argument the day before, but the woman no longer seemed to be upset about it. She really was a very scary person.

She curved her lips disdainfully and replied, “Yes.”

Then, without further ado, she headed for the backyard.

Yvonne lowered her gaze and curved her lips into a smirk.

So she wanted to cure Old Maddy and make a name for herself? She sure thought highly of herself.

Yvonne would wait to see how she made a fool of herself .
