At The Hospital

 Throughout the ride, Zara didn't even look up and saw the person who was sitting next to her. Soon the car reached the hospital and everyone went to the second floor, where the old man was being checked by the group of doctors.

 Seeing the arrival of the family, the doctor attending to the old man came out and nodded at the man with a cold gaze, "Mr. Anderson." Hearing the title "Mr. Anderson" Zara looked up at the person and examined him but only his back could be seen from her side and soon shifted her gaze to her cell phone.

 He sensed her gaze but without any expression on his face, the man asked the doctor, "How is my grandfather?"

 "He's fine, Mr. Anderson. It seems like he had a sudden relapse, but now he seems to be alright. Don't know how it was possible?" The doctor said with a confused look.

 "Also he seems to have consumed a pill and it was the reason for his steadiness." The doctor told the details to Mr. Anderson.

 Hearing from aside the man who followed Mr. Anderson was shocked to hear the doctor's words, and looked at the girl who was standing beside them without any expression. As if she knew this would be the outcome.

 The man is Mr. Anderson's secretary, David. He hadn't seen even a single person till now who could stand beside Mr. Anderson without any expression of fear or nervousness on their face. And this girl doesn't seem to fear his boss at all. He didn't know where this girl got her confidence from.

 After talking to the doctor about his grandfather's health, Mr. Anderson turned around and looked at the girl who was behind him till now without saying anything.

 Now only did he look at the girl clearly who saved his grandfather. Seeing Zara in front of him, his eyes showed a hint of emotion, then glanced at David, who immediately took out a check and handed it to her.

 "Thank you for saving our Old Master! Take this and you can fill in whatever amount you'd like." Zara looked at Mr. Anderson and still looked with no change in expression.

 "No, thank you. I just saved him by chance." Zara didn't even look at the check which is in David's hand. David was shocked to see a girl who said she didn't want money from Mr. Ethan Anderson.

 He praised her inside his heart and his respect for Zara rose so much. Because every girl he had seen till now from the start of his career, everyone tried to curry favor with him but was coldly rejected by him or thrown out of his sight.

 Mr. Anderson asked coldly without any expression, "Where is the pill that you made my grandfather take earlier?" Zara lifted her eyelashes and took a closer look at the man in front of her.

 The man had a striking figure, with chiseled features that seem sculpted by the god themselves. His piercing eyes hold a depth that's both captivating and chilling, like the icy depths of a forgotten ocean.

 Looking at him, Zara said nothing and took a box from her sling bag and gave it to him. The doctor who was still standing there shocked upon hearing the words of Mr. Anderson that this little girl gave those pills to the Old Master and did first aid.

 He couldn't believe his eyes. He thought "This girl must be around seventeen or eighteen. She doesn't even seem to complete her schooling. How come she saved Old Master at the right time?"

 But when he saw the box of pills in Mr. Anderson's hand, he felt struck by lightning. He wanted to go near and look at the pills closely, but he couldn't act recklessly in front of Mr. Anderson, so he stood there without moving.

 Mr. Anderson took the box of pills from Zara and looked at it. He knew what are these pills and knew how rare these pills were. David was just as shocked as the doctor because his boss searched for a long time for these pills but they could only get two to three pills even after spending nearly a hundred million.

 But looking at the small box full of these pills, he felt as if treasure was simply being used by this girl on anyone she found. Does this girl know the value of these pills? Everyone will give her more than a fortune to get their hands on those pills.

 Mr. Anderson soon asked with the box in his hand, "Can I take this box? I'll pay you more than the market price." "Sure, you can keep it. But I don't want money." Zara said expressionlessly.

 Again both the doctor and David were shocked and were thinking on whether this girl was stupid or what. Because she could get more than she could see in this lifetime. 

 But what they didn't know was that she had more than one box with her and it was just a body supplement she gave to her grandparents regularly.

 Zara turned her head, looked at David and asked, "Excuse me. Do you have a pen and paper?" David was already in a daze looking at the pills so he couldn't hear any words. Mr. Anderson looked at David and sensing a cold breeze towards him, he came to his senses and looked at people who were looking at him.

 "M...Sorry, Miss. What did you ask for?" David was embarrassed and asked with a little smile on his face. "A pen and a paper." "Yeah, yeah. Take this." David hurriedly gave a pen and paper to Zara.

 Zara wrote something on the paper. After writing she walked forward and passed it to the doctor who was standing as if he couldn't move. "If you don't have a problem with this prescription, then change his medicine to this. And his relapse won't take place frequently. And slowly it won't happen again."

 At first, the doctor didn't look closely at the girl, but now looking at the girl, he could tell that she was raised as a princess. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she talked but a bit of coldness could be seen in the corner of her eyes. 

 And she doesn't look like someone who is easy to talk to just like Mr. Anderson who is standing behind her. He felt that these two people were same to same.

 "Excuse me." Zara waved her hand in front of him with still aloofness and expressionless. The doctor came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Sure, sure." Zara nodded at the doctor and turned. "Then I'll take my leave." 

 Zara said as she turned to leave, when she heard a voice, "Give me your phone number." Zara turned her head to look at Mr. Anderson and asked, "Excuse me?" "Your phone number." Mr. Anderson repeated his words and handed her his phone to input her number.

 Zara understood his meaning. She now saved his grandfather and gave him a prescription, if anything happened to him later, she would be responsible. And her contact information is also for future convenience.
