From the looks of it, she had been cared for ticulously. From head to toe, every single strand of her hair was neatly combed, her nails were well manicured, and even her outfit was chosen based on her old habits..
If she could move and speak, that would be a sweet, lovely Granny.
"Dear, Rose is here to see you!" Phillip took his wife’s hand, introducing her with a beaming face "This is the Rosemary I’ve been telling you about. Look, isn’t she pretty? Not only is she a looker, she plays the piano and saves lives too. Our grandson sure hit the jackpot hooking up with this one."
He heard Rosemary was a piano prodigy ntored by lody!
Rosemary smiled gently at the kindly old lady and said, "Hello, Granny. My na is Rosemary. It’s a pleasure to et you."
She touched the necklace around her neck and said, "Thank you for the gift; I really like it."
She then brought out a gift and said, "This is for you."
"What’s this?" Phillip took it on her behalf, and upon opening, it turned out to be a beautiful gold bracelet.
"This is so high–quality gold. You can tell it’s a unique design; you’re too kind." Phillip presented it to Shirley, saying, "See how pretty it is; let put it on for you."
He carefully put the bracelet on his wife’s wrist and said, "If your Granny could react, she’d probably be hugging you right now."
But alas, with this illness, no one could change.
Though she could blink and breathe, her other symptoms were like those of a vegetable.
Roo didn’t know when Rosemary had prepared a gift for Granny, and it was even such an expensive bracelet. He felt both touched and heartbroken.
So rich girls used to visit Grandpa under the pretense of visiting Granny, bringing gifts to curry favor with Grandpa. Because in their subconscious, vegetables didn’t need gifts, Even if they did give, it was a waste.
But Rosemary treated Granny as a real human being, not a vegetable. She truly respected and treated her.
That’s where she stood out.
Rosemary held Granny’s wrist and said, "Granny, when you get better, we can go out together, have als, go shopping, and even travel together to see the world."
Upon hearing this, Phillip had to turn away to hold back his tears.
Roo reached out and patted his back, as if to comfort him.
By this ti, Rosemary had finished her examination and withdrew her hand, having drawn the conclusion in her mind, "I believe that day will co soon."
As Roo said before, Granny indeed suffered from brain damage.
A long ti ago, she treated a similar case where the patient beca a vegetable due to a brain injury.
Although the patient was eventually cured, it required lots of different drugs, so of which were extrely rare and hard to get; so were even in regions outside the border, where going to fetch the dicine could risk one’s life.
But Granny’s case was different from that patient’s; her life probably didn’t have much ti left.
During the examination just now, Rosemary noticed it.
However, Rosemary did not imdiately tell them but decided to think about the solution after going back.
If she told them now, it would only cause them anxiety and sadness without any other help.
After accompanying Grandpa and Granny on the way back to Reflections Villa, Roo asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything wrong?"
Rosemary was confused. Did he know she was just checking on her Grandma?
"Your Grandma indeed had a brain injury, and the chances of recovery are slim." Rosemary didn’t beat.around the bush and just told it like it was.
Roo couldn’t believe that she could make a diagnosis just by feeling her Grandma’s wrist. Her dical skills, no doubt, were way ahead of those many well–known doctors.
Rosemary knew that to cure her Grandma’s condition, forty–mne different drugs were needed.
Finding these forty–nine drugs was like finding a needle in a haystack, especially one called Cinnamomum tenuis, which was as rare as hen’s teeth.
This drug had once appeared in the triangular zone, but that place was as dangerous as a snake pit.
Even though Rosemary had her own crew there, she wouldn’t set foot in that area lightly.
Not to ntion, it was still up in the air whether the drug was there.
At night.
Rosemary had people looking for many drugs with similar effects to Cinnamomum tenuis. She tried them all at Villa Cascada, but no dice.
It looked like she was going to have to take a trip to the triangular zone herself tomorrow.
On the other side..
Phillip called Roo, saying, "Roo, your Grandma’s breathing rhythm was off today, and her blood pressure has dropped a lot. I’m not sure if it’s getting better or worse."
Roo could hear his panic: "I’ll get Grandpa Jas to check on her."
Grandpa Jas was a renowned doctor both at ho and abroad, and he just happened to be in Sumrfield.
"Don’t sweat it; I’ll be there soon."
"Ok, co back ASAP."
"Alright."
After wrapping up his work at the company, Roo rushed back to Fairfield Manor. Jas Newton had just finished checking on his Grandma.
He sighed and said helplessly, "This is a sign of a vegetative state patient nearing death. In other words, your Grandma doesn’t have much ti left."
Upon hearing this, Phillip passed out like he was struck by lightning.
"Phillip, Phillip?" The butler turned as pale as a ghost and said, "Dr. Caden, please help Phillip."
Jas gave him a quick glance and said, "He’s just a tad shocked. Let him rest in his room."
"Grandpa Jas, is there any other way?" Roo asked in a deep voice.
His Grandma was the rock of their family. If she passed away, Grandpa might not be able to hang on.
To their Grandpa, Grandma was of utmost importance!
He could say she was more important than his own life!
"There is a way, but it’s a long shot!" Jas said helplessly, "There’s a drug called Cinnamomum tenuis. It’s so rare that many doctors have never even heard of it, let alone seen it. Finding it is like
looking for a needle in a haystack."
Only a handful of people in this world knew what it looked like.
"Would this drug help with Grandma’s condition?" Roo asked seriously.
"Absolutely, but it’s extrely hard to find. Your Grandma’s condition might not wait that long. Jas took a sip of his tea, stood up, and said, "I’m out of my depth here. I should go."
"See Grandpa Jas off," Roo ordered.
Imdiately, soone handed over a blank check. Jas waved it away, saying, "I didn’t help with anything. I can’t accept this check; it would sit wrong with . I’ll tell you one thing, though. Go find Dr.
Bell, he might have a solution."
Roo answered honestly, "We’ve been searching for the past six months, but we haven’t found any trace of Dr. Bell."
Jas waved his hand helplessly and said, "Then there’s nothing I can do."
Roo gave a signal, and a servant imdiately followed Jas, insisting that he accept the "consultation fee".
"You’ve given such valuable information. It’s already a huge help for the McMillan family!"
