Chapter 88 I Charge for Medical Treatment

The drive from Ranson High School to Levine's mansion took about thirty minutes.

Lloyd drove very fast, and luckily, the streets were relatively empty at this time, so they arrived in just fifteen minutes.

When Gianna arrived, Old Mrs. Levine and Old Mrs. Judd were stamping their feet impatiently while waiting for her.

As soon as they saw Gianna walk inside, Old Mrs. Levine hurriedly walked to her and said, "Gianna, you're finally here. Please, go upstairs quickly and take a look. The family doctor is also here. Lilian isn't having seizures anymore, but her body temperature has risen to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and she looks really pale. She's also unconscious."

"Alright, I'll go take a look." Gianna nodded and went quickly upstairs, with the nanny leading the way.

Lloyd didn't follow her upstairs. After all, he was a man, it would be inappropriate for him to enter a young girl's room.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Judd was shocked as she watched Gianna go upstairs, while Old Mrs. Levine went after Gianna.

Gripping Old Mrs. Levine's hand, she asked urgently, "Riya, is she the Ms. Geller you were talking about?"

It had been a while since Old Mrs. Judd had engaged in social activities, and she didn't attend the birthday party held by the Geller family recently. So she didn't know Gianna's identity.

Old Mrs. Judd nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! The Ms. Geller who saved me is her, Gianna, the eldest daughter of the Geller family. Don't just stand there. Hurry upstairs and see for yourself!"

Before Old Mrs. Judd could figure out what was going on, Old Mrs. Levine had already pulled her upstairs. It wasn't until they went to the second floor and saw Gianna giving acupuncture to Lilian that they realized they had made a mistake.

Seeing Lilian's condition, Ellen trembled with worry. When she looked at Gianna, who was silent, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ms. Geller?"

Gianna didn't answer and was focusing on the acupuncture treatment she was giving to Lilian.

Ellen was just about to ask what Gianna was doing here when Old Mrs. Levine grabbed her arm and pulled her aside, saying, "Don't disturb Ms. Geller while she's treating the patient. She's very skilled. If she gets interrupted, there might be no hope for Lilian."

After hesitating for a moment, Ellen ultimately decided not to interrupt Gianna.

Although she didn't why a countryside girl like Gianna, whom everyone in the Geller family scolded and labeled as a loser, would be capable of treating illnesses, and her acupuncture technique seemed remarkably skilled.

After Gianna finished the acupuncture, she gave a medicinal pill to Lilian and then stood up. Then she asked in a chilly voice, "Has she consumed any incompatible herbal medicines?"

Lilian was taken aback and replied, "No, she's only been taking the prescription provided by Ms. Geller. Dr. Mosley examined it and assured that it was safe."

"Which Ms. Geller are you referring to?" Gianna furrowed her brows and asked.

"It's your sister, Alisa."

Gianna still had no clue.

It wasn't that she deliberately forgot about Alisa; it was simply that Alisa was a stranger to her. When there was no need to recall her, she simply didn't remember who she was.

"Let me take a look at the prescription." Gianna didn't dwell on the topic and requested to examine the prescription herself to see what went wrong.

Seeing that Lilian's condition had improved, Ellen knew that Gianna was skilled and handed over the prescription.

As Gianna read through it, her expression grew grim. She said angrily, "This is absurd!"

She sounded furious, which startled everyone in the room.

Dr. Mosley, who had been deeply impressed by Gianna's acupuncture skills earlier, quickly inquired, "Is there a problem with the prescription?"

He had sensed that something was off with the prescription earlier, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Pointing to two of the ingredients, Gianna said in a cold voice, "If taken separately, these two herbs are beneficial, but when combined, they become toxic! They induce vomiting, diarrhea, and then a high fever. Ms. Pyne first experienced vomiting and diarrhea before the high fever. If I had arrived even a few minutes later, she might have been beyond saving."

Dr. Mosley was enlightened and said, "I see. So that's where the problem is. I felt that the prescription wasn't quite right, and now I understand. Indeed, these two herbs are incompatible. Ms. Geller, you're truly amazing."

Being able to immediately identify the problem with the prescription showed an exceptional level of her medical expertise.

Moreover, her acupuncture skills had even surpassed those of experienced senior practitioners in the hospital.

"God!" Old Mrs. Judd exclaimed in shock, "Is it really that dangerous? Ellen, look at what you've done by trusting anyone!"

Thankfully, Old Mrs. Levine was here today; otherwise, Lilian might have...

Ellen hadn't expected such a dire situation and regretted, "I didn't know it would turn out like this. At the Geller family's party, everyone said that Alisa had cured Taryn. I thought she could help Lilian too. How could I have known it would end up like this?"

"Mrs. Pyne."

Lloyd, who had been waiting downstairs, grew increasingly concerned about Gianna and decided to come upstairs. He heard what Ellen said when he reached the doorway.

He stood at the door and said calmly, "My sister is cured by Gianna. It has nothing to do with Ms. Alisa."

"What?" Ellen's eyes widened as she asked, "It wasn't Alisa?"

But soon she said angrily, "How dare she deceive me. I won't let her get away with this."

If Alisa had told her that it was Gianna who had cured Taryn, Lilian wouldn't have suffered like this.

She was seething with rage towards Alisa!

"Enough, now is not the time for this," Old Mrs. Judd glared at her and was also angry with Ellen for risking her own daughter's life. However, saving Lilian's life was the top concern.

Old Mrs. Levine walked to Gianna and said in a low voice, "Ms. Geller, how is my granddaughter doing? Can you cure her?"

"I used acupuncture to stabilize her pulse, and the pill will restore her bodily functions to keep her alive. However, her body has suffered damage. For a complete recovery, she'll need to continue taking the pills for three more days. I can heal her face as well, but..."

Gianna turned to look at Ellen and spoke, "I'm here today because Old Mrs. Levine asked me to help. The acupuncture and pill treatment for today won't cost you anything, but for the next three days, you'll need to pay for the pills and the consultation fee. My consultation fee is 85 thousand dollars, each pill costs 850 thousand dollars, and the special ointment for Ms. Pyne's facial treatment is priced at 2 million dollars. This is the minimum price, and I'm not open to negotiation."

After a brief pause, Gianna continued, "Take your time to consider and give me your response later. Don't worry, the acupuncture and pill treatment today have stabilized Ms. Pyne's condition. The pills for the next three days are optional, but she might become weak and prone to illness if she didn't take them."

Gianna wasn't known for her kindness. She had encountered Old Mrs. Levine by chance, and it was her good heart that made her treat her for free.

However, they invited her over to treat Lilian, so she must get paid.

She didn't have any personal connection with the Judd family, let alone the Pyne family.

Outside the door, there was a subtle glimmer in Lloyd's eyes as he overheard the consultation fee and medication costs.

An 850-thousand-dollar pill was something only available in the black market of Rimond.

The Panacea Pill!

Despite its name implying a remedy for physical injuries, it was actually a life-saving medicine. It had the power to keep someone alive as long as they were still breathing. Therefore, this pill was sought after in the black market. unfortunately, this pill was exceedingly rare. There was only one pill in the market every four to five months. This pill was indeed priceless. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Not long ago, a small bottle of these pills was for sale. As soon as the news spread, within just ten minutes, all these pills were sold out. Lloyd had asked Murray to try and buy some, but he failed.

Furthermore, he remembered that Taryn once mentioned that prior to treatments, Gianna gave her some pills, which were followed by acupuncture, ointment application, and an herbal bath.

Were these the same pills Gianna had?

Setting that aside, he made a rough calculation of the treatment costs, and the amount reached approximately 5 million dollars. He owed Gianna 5 million dollars, but she hadn't asked for it.
