Chapter 210

The doctor said regretfully, "Jacob, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you’ve racked up hundreds of thousands in medical fees. Even if your grandmother gets the surgery, she may only live for another year or two.

“We’ve reduced some of her medical costs. However, with your current debt, we can’t continue her treatment.

“I’ll talk to the hospital director tomorrow to see if we can continue her medication for another week.”

With his head down, Jacob bent under pressure. In the darkness his deep sense of grief and helplessness was obvious.

When Natalie saw this scene, her heart suddenly ached.

Jacob said in a trembling voice, “Thank you, Dr. Wilson!”

Raised by his grandmother since childhood, Jacob had tried every possible way to earn money, but he still couldn’t gather enough for her surgery.

Natalie thought, ‘Jacob’s name sounds familiar to me. Where did I hear it?’

Natalie walked up to them. When she saw Jacob’s handsome face, she was so surprised that she opened her mouth.

Natalie thought, ‘In my previous life, Jacob was that genius boy beside Jennifer. Because of Jacob, Jennifer defeated Easton. Natalie wanted to scream. It was such an unbelievable coincidence that she ran into Jacob!

It seemed that her previous life ended too tragically. In this life, a lot of resources just came her way.

Natalie walked over and said, “I can pay for his grandmother’s medical fees, but I want to know what’s wrong with her.”

Aiden sighed, “She has a tumor in her lung. Given her age, surgery is risky.”

Natalie asked, “Is there any conservative treatment available?”

Aiden said, “Surgery is risky. Besides, our hospital doesn’t have any special medication.”

Aiden felt helpless. Having no medicine for a patient was the worst feeling.

Aiden said, “If you’re willing to pay the medical fees, just come over tomorrow morning to settle it.”

After saying that, Aiden left with the nurse.

Natalie helped Jacob stand up. His handsome face was covered with tears. He wiped them away.

Jacob had a sunny and handsome appearance, which was like Murray’s. Jacob’s eyes were clear. Natalie couldn’t understand why such an outstanding boy would help Jennifer with her schemes.

Natalie thought, ‘Did Jennifer use his grandmother’s life-saving favor?

‘It’s alright that we can’t be friends in this life if we don’t become enemies.’

Jacob calmed down. He looked at Natalie’s beautiful face with charming eyes and said, “Madam, are you willing to help me?”

Natalie was more than willing if they didn’t become enemies.

In the future, he would be a big shot in the tech industry.

Jennifer used her hypocrisy to gather talented people around her.

Chapter 210

Only then would Jennifer’s company continue to grow and prosper.

Natalie said, “Yes! I’m willing to help you, but I’ll check on your grandmother first because I’m a doctor too. She is old. I’ll see if we can treat her conservatively. If that’s possible, I’ll get her the medicine.

“If that’s not doable, I’ll transfer her to Everwell Hospital in Shagrity. It’s my hospital. Your grandmother can get free treatment there.”

Jacob was moved. He was 18 years old and had used up all his grandmother’s savings. His part-time job couldn’t cover the high medical fees.

Having entered society at a young age, he knew there was no such thing as a free meal.

He asked Natalie, “What do you want me to do? I’m Jacob.”

Natalie hesitated, “Uh…” She didn’t know what to say.

She looked at him in surprise and asked, “What do you want to do for me?”

Jacob answered in a low voice, "Except for my face, I don’t have much to offer. I’m strong. I’m just 18 years old and don’t have a good job yet."

Natalie couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Hah…”

She looked beautiful when she laughed. Jacob couldn’t help but stare at her.

Jacob had seen countless beautiful women, but this was the first time he saw someone so pretty and innocent. There was no scheming in her eyes. Her eyes were bright and clear and left a lasting good impression.

Natalie said, “You’re pretty cute. I don’t need a man or a strong man. I help you because of your grandmother. It is no trouble for me.

“If you want to repay me, I’ll send you to study abroad. Once you finish your studies, come to work at my company. It will be helpful to me.”

Jacob was surprised and thought, ‘Can such good fortune come to me?’

Natalie said, “Take me to see your grandmother. My sister is getting a check-up. I must go to see her soon.”

Jacob saw her kind smile, eventually let his guard down, and led her to his grandmother’s ward.

The ward was small with two patients inside.

Natalie walked in. Jacob went up to his grandmother’s bedside and said, “Grandma.”

Jacob’s grandmother Valeria said, “Jacob, you’re back! I feel better. Let’s leave the hospital.” She was in her seventies, with stark white hair. Her face was pale from illness.

Jacob explained, “Grandma, I’ve brought a doctor with me. Let’s have the doctor check you, okay?”

Valeria looked at Natalie, nodded, and said, “Is this young lady the doctor?”

Jacob said, “Yes!” Jacob stepped aside to let Natalie take the pulse.

Natalie sat by the bed and took the pulse. A few minutes later, she noticed the medical report and test results at the bedside. She picked up the CT scan results. She noted that the tumor was large.

However, with her past treatment experience, she knew the surgery wasn’t necessary. There was another treatment option available. Fortunately, her hospital had that technology.

Chapter 210

Natalie looked at Jacob and said, “I’ll arrange for your grandmother to be transferred to my hospital tonight. The surgery needs to be done as soon as possible.”

Seeing Natalie’s serious expression, Jacob realized his grandmother’s condition was severe.

Valeria said, “I’m fine. I don’t feel any pain. I can go home and just need to take some medicine." She thought, 'I have run out of all my savings. Jacob is an excellent student. I’m old and sick. I can’t delay Jacob’s education.

'He must finish college to have a better future. He has had a difficult life since childhood.'

Natalie said, “Don’t worry. My hospital has a program for lucky patients, and you’ve been selected. All future expenses will be covered.

“You don’t need to worry, but we need to transfer you as your condition is serious. You will be better after you get the treatment there.”

Valeria was surprised and thought, ‘Can there be such a good thing?

‘Dr. Wilson said that my illness was terminal. I have lived long enough. I’m reluctant to place a burden on Jacob any longer. If I could hang on for two more years, I could help earn some tuition money for him.'

Valeria said, “You’re beautiful. Please don’t trick me. I’ve got nothing left, just my grandson. I don’t care about my illness, but my grandson must go to school. The teachers say he’s doing well."

Natalie interrupted her with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of his schooling. I can help him get back to school. But you must promise me that you’ll take your treatment seriously. You want to see your grandson do better, don’t you?”
