Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 211 11 Despite Sebastian's gentle coaxing, it took another ten minutes before Stephanie finally relented. She allowed the doctor to take a quick glance, just a fleeting moment.

But for a skilled doctor, that was all it took. Afterward, the doctor prescribed snew medications-pills and creams to help with her recovery.

Stephanie let Sebastian apply the medicine, feeling a sense of resignation. She popped a pill into her mouth and grimaced. “Ugh, this is so bitter," she complained, her face scrunching up in distaste.

Sebastian quickly popped a piece of candy into her mouth. "Better?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement Stephanie rolled her eyes. "You're so busy. You should go," she said softly, her voice tinged with concern.

They had agreed that he would only stay for a few days before heading back to Fiorenza. He had work to finish. Besides, Ella was in Fiorenza, and Stephanie couldn't shake the feeling of unease she had after talking to her on the phone.

"Just take a nap. You looked exhausted on the plane," Sebastian said, his voice gentle. He remembered how she had barely been able to keep her eyes open, how he had practically carried her to bed.

"Okay," she murmured, her eyes already growing heavy. She wasn't sure if it was the injuries or just sheer exhaustion, but sleep seemed to be calling her name.

Sebastian tucked the blanket around her, making sure she was comfortable.

At the Hart residence, Allison had just examined Olivia. She then flatly declared, “Her condition has deteriorated so much that I'm out of options." Both Catlin and Olivia were stunned by her words. They exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with sorrow. For Olivia, there was an added layer of fear-fear of death.

"Mom," she choked out, her voice trembling with grief and pain.

Catlin's heart ached. "Dr. Pierce, is there truly no other way?" she pleaded, her voice quivering.

In Catlin's eyes, even though Allison knew Olivia might have framed Amber in the sway she had framed Stephanie, she was still determined to do everything in her power to save Olivia.

Seeing Allison's silence, she continued, "You're a genius doctor of the younger generation. Everyone says you're an expert in this field, that you can snatch people from the jaws of death. You must have a way, right?" Olivia said, "Yes, Dr. Pierce, you surely must have a way, don't you? Please save me. I don't want to die." Since being discharged from the hospital, Olivia had pinned all her hopes on Allison, the first doctor she had seen in a long time.

At that moment, she had completely forgotten that Allison was best friends with Stephanie. She had also forgotten what she had done to Stephanie-who had always been her retribution.

Allison replied, "It's not that there isn't a way, but the cost would definitely be quite high." "What cost?" Olivia asked.

"For this type of severe, widespread cancer, there's actually a special medicine that can quickly eliminate various types of cancer in the body. But it's too expensive, so it hasn't been put on the market yet." 1/4 09:43 Fri, 21 Mar Chapter 211 Catlin was shocked by the message.

Before she could speak, Olivia quickly said, "How much? No matter the price, I'll buy it She wanted to live. Hearing Allison mention the high cost didn't faze Olivia at all. She just thought that no matter how costly, the Hart family would definitely find a way to save her, Allison glanced at Olivia's desperate will to live and the unmistakable greed in her eyes. She frowned and turned to look at Catlin.

Catlin added, "What kind of drug is it? No matter the price, we'll buy it," Allison silently cursed in her mind. 'An adopted daughter? She's treated as Catlin's own flesh and blood, even like a deity.

"The Hart family is in shambles, yet they'll buy it no matter the cost? Who are they trying to impress? Alright, since they insist, I won't stand in the way! Allison said seriously, "That medicine costs 1.5 million per pill. You need to take one every day for the first week, and then one every month for two years." Catlin exclaimed, "Five million per pill?" Her eyes widened instantly. Seven pills upfront and then one every month? That's a huge amount.

Allison nodded. "Yes, 1.5 million per pill." Even though Catlin and Olivia had been living comfortably over the years, they were still shocked at the price.

If taken every day for a week, that would be 12 million And 1.5 million monthly after that? Even for the Hart family, this was considered an astronomical price for medicine.

Catlin was shocked by the price and glanced at Allison, her breathing quick. "Is this medicine really that costly?" Allison nodded, "Yes. It hasn't been publicly available because of the price. But generally, any hospital in need can find ways to obtain it.

"However, the drug is limited, and 1. 5 million is just a conservative estimate. It could increase if it changes hands several times." Catlin thought, 'Isn't 1. 5 million already steep enough?' Catlin and Olivia exchanged a glance, Olivia's eyes full of a desperate will to survive.

Unable to bear it, Catlin looked away, gasping as she turned to Allison. "Is there no other way?" Clearly, coming up with over 12 million all at once was overwhelming for her. Especially since there had been issues with Chad lately, asking him may not even work out. The thought of Chad having twins with that other woman made Catlin's chest burn with anger.

Allison replied, "This is the only option for now. But with her condition, we need to sort it out within a week, or even the medication won't save her." With that, Allison left without saying anything further.

She wasn't lying. Based on the medical inforination she currently had, this medicine really existed. Its high price was the reason it hadn't been widely available. This was a tangible hope for them. Whether they could grasp this hope was up to them.

With just Olivia and Catlin left in the room, Olivia grabbed Catlin's hand. "Mom, you'll save me, right? Tell me, please." Catlin said, "I—" Olivia cut her off. "Mom, I don't want to die. I really don't want to die." 2/4 09:4 Fri, 21 Mar Chapter 211 Catlin said, "But..." They didn't have that amount of money. Together, Tyler and she could cup with at most 3 million in cash.

Olivia knew she didn't have much money herself. The company's shares were useless now, given the company's condition. Chad was completely focused on that woman and her kids, so it was impossible to ask him for money.

Even if they somehow managed to get 12 million, they'd still need millions more every month afterward. The Hart Group was nearly bankrupt, so bringing in millions every month was simply not possible.

"But Mom, I really don't want to die. I'm begging you. Seeing Catlin hesitate, Olivia quickly becanxious.

As expected, as soon as she started crying, Catlin couldn't bear it. She kept comforting her, "Mom will figure something out. Don't worry, sweetie."

With a glimmer of hope for life, she couldn't bear to let the daughter she had raised die. But i needed at least over 9 million, and then 1.5 million every month after that-it was no small amount. Where would she get the money with only a week left? This was really stressing Catlin out.

As soon as Allison left the Hart residence, she called Stephanie. When Stephanie answered, her voice was groggy, "Hey, Allison." "Were you sleeping?" Allison asked.

"Yeah, just dozing off for a bit. It's snowing again outside, perfect for a n nap," Stephanie replied. She had e always loved happing during snowfalls, maybe it was just something about the weather that made her feel so cozy and relaxed. "I've just left the Hart residence," Allison said.

"How did it go?" Upon hearing that Allison had left the Hart residence, Stephanie's voice beca bit more alert. She had to admit, she was quite the gossip lover herself.

"Just like you said, I gave them hope as high as the sky," Allison replied.

"How high is it?" Stephanie asked.

"Not much, just over 12 million," Allison said casually.

Stephanie was taken aback. "That's a lot for the Hart family. Especially when it comes to cash. Even after V1. collaborating with the Ashford family for so many years, Chad only gets the scraps. The Ashford family has always taken the lion's share. She smiled, "It's not much for you, but for the Hart residence, it's a huge deal." "Oh, I get it." Allison nodded. "When I got there, I saw this woman. She was fierce. She must be connected to Tyler, causing a ruckus at the Hart residence." "That's Tyler's wife, and she even had a son with him," Stephanie explained.

"Oh, I see," Allison said. She had only been away from the city for a short while, and so much had happened. "So, there's no way Olivia can achieve her sky-high hopes." Stephanie was silent for a moment.

"No matter how strong childhood bonds are, once women and kids cinto play, loyalties often divide," Allison continued.

"That's not always the case at the Hart family," Stephanie argued.

3/4 Chapter 211 "Even better, Allison said. "If Tyler can't take his focus off Olivia, she'll find ways to take advantage of him." "True" Stephanie agreed. “Women will do anything for their kids" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
