Chapter 7 Astrid wanted to chew out the old man, but considering the hefty pay heâd always given her, she figured sheâd treat it as some extra dough. After a few seconds of thought, Astrid started typing, âI demand 80% of the rewardâ
Dr Conrad, âDonât be so coldâhearted Leave 30% for your old teacherâ
Astrid raised an eyebrow, âHaggling, huh? Alright then, I want the whole reward, or get ready to bid farewell to your first love.â
Dr Conrad. âWell, fine, after all Iâve done for you, this is how you repay me 1 Before Dr Conrad could wrap up his sob story, Astrid hung up the call She took a quick shower, then picked up her phone to see that Dr. Conrad had already sent the patientâs details and address She rummaged around her room for the necessary medical tools, packed them into a small bag, and thought about the shooting she was about to join. She put on a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble. Once she was ready, she casually left her apartment In a villa in Sunhaven Topânotch doctors from all over the place had already arrived, but none of them could do anything. The old lady lying in bed was as pale as a ghost, completely bloodless. Seemed like she could kick the bucket at any moment There was a knock on the door. The young man in the room immediately rushed to open it, only to find not the miraculous doctor heâd been eagerly awaiting, but Ello. He let out a sigh, âElio, youâre here?â
Elio nodded lightly, âHowâs the situation? Did the specialist I called have any solution?â
âNo, all hope now rests on Aster the Savior,â Wylie said with a troubled look. âThe specialists have all heard of Aster, but none have actually seen him. Iâm really worried.â âThe miracle worker has already agreed to come, letâs wait a bit...â Before Ello could finish, he heard a commotion from the courtyard.
1 Looking down from the window, he saw a famillar figure standing at the villa gate, surrounded by bodyguards.
Even with a mask, Elio recognized her at once. What was she doing here?
Frowning slightly, Elio then headed downstairs.
Staring at the crowd in front of her, Astrid explained for the umpteenth time: âIâm here to treat the old lady.â
The bodyguard said, âThe worldâs top medical team couldnât save our madam. What can you do? You say youâre a doctor, whereâs your ID? No ID, no entry!â
Astrid was helpless. Aster was just a code name. Where could she find an ID proving she was Aster?
âIf you keep wasting time and your madam dies, Itâs on you!â Astrid shot back, but still, the crowd in front of her didnât budge.
Because no matter how they looked at Astrid, she didnât seem like the rumored Aster the Savior.
âLet her in.â Elioâs cold voice rang out, and the surrounding bodyguards simultaneously bowed their heads.
Bodyguard exclaimed, âMr. Lampard, sheâs impersonating Aster. Weâre afraid she might harm the madam.â
Elo looked at them, âYou canât confirm her identity, but if she really is Aster and the old ladyâs life is at stake, delaying treatment could end with Wylie having your heads.
Hearing this, all the bodyguards broke out in a cold sweat and immediately stepped aside to let Astrid through âFollow me.â Elio turned and walked ahead, with Astrid slowly following.
Looking at the tall figure in front of her, Astrid wasnât sure if the man had recognized her. She didnât expect to run into him so soon. It wasnât surprising though, as the rich always mingled with the rich. That was their social circle.
Arriving on the second floor, Astrid walked in and saw the old ladyâs critical condition. She immediately said, âAll of you get out. I donât allow anyone else present when Iâm treating.â
Hearing her words, all the specialists sneered, âWho are you? A young girl like you can cure the old lady?â
Tm Aster. The old ladyâs time is running out, get out now.â Astrid saw the old ladyâs critical condition and wanted to start treating Immediately, but a middleâaged man stepped in to block her!
