Chapter 93 Aria Looked Ferocious When She Saw Bethany
Karter always had a sharp tongue and Bethany didn't plan to argue with him on this matter. Instead,
she came straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Shepard, I wonder why you asked for me so early in the
morning?"
"I want you to do me a favor," Karter replied, "I guess you also know that my wife was diagnosed with
gastric cancer. She'd been in poor health after those surgeries. She felt so uncomfortable after the first
chemotherapy that she even thought of committing suicide. I doubt it's because those doctors are not
professional in her illness, so I want you to check on her."
Bethany was in a dilemma when she heard the request because she didn't want to deal with the
Shepards.
Therefore, she tried to decline, "As a matter of fact, when it comes to the stage of chemotherapy, it has
little to do with the doctor's medical skills. People react differently to chemotherapy. It's probably
because Mrs. Shepard is the kind of person who has strong rejection reactions to chemotherapy
needles.
"I understand. But gastric cancer is a serious disease after all. I still want to find a doctor who is more
skilled in medicine. At least in this way, we will feel less worried."
"I admire your trust, Mr. Shepard. But I don't dare to guarantee that I'm very skilled in medicine and I'm
afraid that I can't shoulder this heavy responsibility." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Bethany, you're so modest. Doctors who are employed by Masston Medical Institute of the top class in
the medical circle. Moreover, my son highly recommended you. He's also a doctor and I believe that
the person highly recommended by her peer must be the right one."
Karter was trying his best to compliment her, which made it difficult to refuse him. What should she do
now?
Seeing that Bethany still didn't intend to help him, Karter continued, "Bethany, you also know that I've
engaged in the business world for years and I have my own dignity. I won't beg you like this if it weren't
that I have no other choice."
It was somehow a moral kidnapping, but this method did work as it left no room for Bethany to refuse it.
"Of course. I won't ask you to treat my wife for free." With that, Karter took a piece of cheque out of his
bag and explained, "Originally, I prepared to wire it into your account, but it may somehow make it look
as if I'm forcing you. Therefore, I prepared this cheque. It's only a part of the payment and I'll give you
more later."
Bethany looked down at the cheque. The amount was three million!
He was really rich.
"Mr. Shepard, I can't receive it." Bethany hurriedly pushed the cheque back to him.
"Did you get mad at me because of those words? If so, I'll apologize..."
"Of course not," Bethany interrupted him. She was so helpless that she almost cried out. Wasn't he
forcing her now? It seemed like he wouldn't give up if she didn't agree to help him. Alas...
She might take it as an extra task during her break time.
"Mr. Shepard, please don't say this. I agree to help you, but I can't take your money."
"Bethany, I'm so happy to hear this. Thank you very much." Karter then continued, "Do you have time
to check on her today? She's really in a poor condition and I'm a bit worried about her."
"Okay," Bethany could only agree.
Sitting in the same car with Karter was like a punishment to Bethany. She felt as if she was on thorns.
When they finally arrived at Shepard's mansion, they got out of the car one by one. Bethany saw Aria
when she followed Karter into the living room.
Aria was on the schedule of filming a movie. But because of Fiona's illness, she specially asked for a
leave and came back.
When she saw Bethany, her eyes were filled with hatred. It seemed as if she wished so much to eat the
latter alive.
"Aria, I especially invited Bethany here to check on your mother. I won't allow you to be impolite to my
guest." Karter reminded Aria.
"Dad, you've thought too much. How dare I be impolite to Dr. Caldwell? Last time, I just posted a
sentence on the Internet, but Raymond specially came to the filming place to find me and threatened
me by all means, requiring me to apologize to her on Twitter. As the saying goes, a fall into the pit
should be a gain in your wit. I won't dare to offend her anymore." Aria retorted in a sarcastic tone.
But Bethany was surprised when she heard the words as she didn't know about this before.
Did Raymond specially come to Aria's filming place? And did Aria apologize to her on Twitter?
Did all these happen when she was hospitalized? That should be the case.
After all, only during that period did she pay no attention to any news.
"If so, you should say something." Karter reminded her again and then said to Bethany gently,
"Bethany, please don't take your attitude to your heart. Let's go upstairs."
"Okay." Bethany nodded and followed Karter upstairs.
When she walked past Aria, she felt an obvious hint of killing intent from her. Attention, it wasn't an
exaggeration. It was really killing intent!
But Bethany just ignored it.
When she walked into the bedroom and saw Fiona again, she was startled.
Right at this moment, Fiona was lying on the bed, her face as white as a sheet. She looked very
haggard and lifeless. Compared to the last time when she saw her, she had lost at least 10 kg.
"Bethany... You're here..." Fiona greeted Bethany in an extremely weak voice when she saw her.
"I'm here to visit you." Bethany hurriedly replied with a smile and continued, "I'm also here to give you a
check-up."
With that, she walked to the bed and opened her medical kit. Meanwhile, Karter left the bedroom.
"My doctor has examined me numerous times. Don't bother..."
"I still need to check on you. Mrs. Shepard, please rest assured. It will be done soon." Bethany
comforted her patiently as if she was coaxing a child.
Bethany slightly knitted her brows after the check-up. Fiona's situation was not optimistic and she gave
her an injection.
"You'll feel better after this injection and regain your appetite. Then you'll get better."
"Although they're hiding it from me, I've guessed it. I can't get better anymore..." Fiona looked painful at
the mention of this. She continued, "I'm old and I'm not afraid of death. But it's a regret that I can't see
my children getting married... I have to die with everlasting regret..."
Bethany felt touched when she heard the words. The world's most true love is from Mom and Dad.
"Mrs. Shepard, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bethany managed to maintain her smile as she
continued, "It's just a gastric ulcer and won't cause death. It's just that you have strong rejection
reactions to medicines. It's something related to people's physical conditions. Many people would have
allergic reactions to vaccination. These are all normal. You'll naturally get better when you don't need
any injection or medicine."
Fiona chuckled when she heard the words. She replied, "I hope so. Bethany, thank you for coming...
Originally, I didn't want to bother you, but Karter insisted..."
"It's because Mr. Shepard cares about you so much. For the sake of his care, please don't go to
extremes. Do cooperate with the treatment positively and you'll recover one day."
Fiona felt much more relaxed after talking to Bethany. However, on the other side, Aria was not relaxed
at all.
"Dad, is she really going to be with Raymond?" Aria asked nervously.
Karter didn't directly answer her question. Instead, he took out his phone, opened the album, and
handed the phone to her. Aria took the phone and her legs immediately became weak when she saw
the photos!
