34.Godly doctor
Ellen rolled her eyes at him. The old fox was up to something. Birds of a feather...
He was sly and cunning like Sherry and that's the reason they always got along. They spent most of their times together following each other like two old comrades.
" Erm, little Elly, what if you disguise yourself as a n... nurse when you visit the... "
The old man felt the words getting stuck in his throat. He unconsciously shivered when his eyes met her dark gaze and the ' are you crazy ' look written all over her face.
Mrs Li also felt that this was a good idea. She started searching in her mind for ways to convince Ellen.
" Miss... I mean Ellen. I also think it's a good idea. She wouldn't notice anything while you're giving her a checkup. "
" Please do us this favor and I promise that the Li family would help and give you in anything you desire. Even if it doesn't work, we'll still be grateful because you gave it a try. "
Mrs Li spoke cautiously. She was also slightly afraid of the young lady who had an aura of a cold and stern empress.
" Besides, you'll not do anything, there are servants who'll do whatever you require them to do. You'll only check on her to determine her illness. "
Hua Chen's face brightened up when he suddenly remembered the crazy woman was obsessed with money. She would not turn down anything that provided her a huge sum of money. He smirked and looked at her blank face.
" You can be sure to receive a good pay, a very good pay. " He shamelessly added digging his own grave while ignoring her piercing gaze.
The old man was determined to convince her. He was confident in her because he knew the situation was not entirely impossible. He had seen her tremendous work thus he was aware she was very capable. Although the surgery was quite challenging too, he was also aging and his hands were starting to become shaky. He wouldn't risk doing such a serious and risky surgery.
He really wanted her to help out the family because they were his good friends for decades. The old man of the family was his closest friend while the old woman was also very close to his wife.
Their first grandson was like his little godson and was very dear to him. He was also a close friend of his eldest grandson Hua Jin since they were toddlers.
Li Zixuan was the current head of the Li family and the CEO of their family business. He sighed with a gentle smile on his lips when his thoughts drifted to more than 20 years ago. The little boy always appeared cold and aloof on the surface but inside, he was a shy, curious but intelligent little young man. Just like Liam. His mind suddenly froze at a thought but he immediately brushed it aside.
Although he also felt that the old madam's case was very challenging even to him, he trusted her abilities. The young woman might look lazy, gangsterish and crazy but she had done wonders in the medical field.
He knew with her, the old madam would pull it through hence decided to ask her the favor once she came back. She might seem arrogant and unkind but he knew there was a tinge of kindness in her heart which she hid behind her cold face since in the past, she was taken advantage of because of her kind and soft heart. People now always mistook her indifference as being arrogant.
They may seem to always be fighting and arguing but the little woman was very dear to him. He treated her like his own kin. She was more of a daughter to him than a granddaughter or a friend.
She always gave him deathly glares but would never turn him down. He was one of the people who walked with her in her healing journey 5 years ago when she was more than a lifeless human being.
She trusted and respected him a lot though she'd rather die than let him know this. Old Hua's lips twitched. The woman was rather prideful.
