Chapter 250
“Not Freya p>
“It’s Caitlin p>
Caitlin’s voice snapped Hannah back to reality.
Jade spoke up as well. “Mom, this is Dr. Kensington-the one who saved your life p>
At that, Hannah lifted her gaze to Caitlin, her eyes full of complicated emotion.
But… this young woman really does look so much like Carey.
Hannah squeezed Caitlin’s hand tightly. Her voice was hoarse from crying. “Dr. Kensington, thank you for saving this old woman’s life. From this day forward, you are the greatest benefactor our family has ever known p>
The truth was, Hannah wasn’t afraid of dying. Everyone gets old, and no one escapes the end.
But what haunted her was the thought of never seeing her daughter or her granddaughter again before she left this world.
No one could know how overwhelmed she’d been when she first woke up and saw Caitlin standing there. For a moment, she truly believed she’d found Freya- that this young woman was her own granddaughter. That she was Freya.
“Hannah, you’re too kind,” Caitlin replied gently. “As a doctor, it’s my duty to save lives.” She added, “You’ve just started to recover. It’s important to rest and avoid any unnecessary excitement p>
There wasn’t a trace of arrogance in Caitlin’s tone. She was like a rare orchid blooming on a cliff-remarkable, yet never boastful.
After speaking, Caitlin helped Hannah lie back down and tucked the blanket around her.
Warren, as if recalling something, asked, “Dr. Kensington, when will my mother be able to go home p>
“She can be discharged at any time,” Caitlin answered, “but she’ll need to
continue her medication for another week to stabilize her condition p>
At that, Stephanie spoke up. “Dr. Kensington, my mom can’t stand bitter medicine.
Is there any way you could prescribe pills instead p>
Pills are easier to swallow, especially for the elderly.
Caitlin shook her head slightly. “The medicine I’ve prescribed may taste unpleasant, but it’s gentle and won’t irritate her system, which is exactly what Hannah needs right now. Western pharmaceuticals work faster, but they can be harsh and might damage her liver in her current state p>
She paused, then continued, “If the taste is a problem, I can make the medicine into small capsules. They’re easier to take p>
It would be a bit more work, but Caitlin never shied away from effort-especially for Hannah, whom she’d grown fond of.
Stephanie was just about to thank her when Hannah, still lying in bed, spoke up, “No, it’s alright, I can handle it. No need to trouble Dr. Kensington p>
Hannah was still weak from her ordeal, and soon after being wheeled back to her room, she drifted off to sleep.
Doctor’s office.
Kelvin was sorting through patient files.
He was supposed to be off today, but ever since he’d taken on the role of Chief of Medicine at The Capital Medical Center, his days off had become a rare luxury.
“Dr. Fairchild! Dr. Fairchild!” a voice called from the hallway.
Kelvin looked up to see his assistant hurrying toward him, out of breath.
“What is it?” Kelvin asked.
The assistant, still panting, blurted out, “It’s Lady Hannah p>
Hannah?
Kelvin shot up from his chair. “Did something happen to Hannah p>
He’d always suspected Caitlin was a fraud, a so-called miracle worker who didn’t
actually know medicine. Hearing this news made his heart pound.
Thankfully, he’d refused when Caitlin asked him to be her medical assistant. Otherwise, he’d be a suspect now too!
But the assistant quickly clarified, “No, no, you’ve got it wrong. Miss Kensington really is a miracle worker. Hannah’s awake and safe now p>
