    Upon hearing Old Doctor Bruce’s words, Harriet Bet was taken aback.


    Did Old Doctor Bruce mean that Linda Wilson should apologize to him?


    Given Linda’s personality, it was impossible for her to back down, let alone apologize.


    Harriet then said, “Old Doctor Bruce, human life is at stake. Since Linda and I are husband and wife, let me apologize on her behalf. As long as you can save my daughter, I can agree to any conditions.”


    “Have your wife contact me.”


    After saying this, Old Doctor Bruce directly hung up the phone.


    Looking at the disconnected call, Harriet frowned and immediately turned around to return to the room, “Linda,e out with me.”


    Some things were not suitable to discuss in front of children, especially since Edith Bet was still running a high fever.


    “What’s the matter?”


    Linda followed Harriet outside.


    Harriet looked at Linda solemnly, “Do you realize that Edith’s condition is very serious and she must receive treatment immediately?”


    Compared to Harriet, Linda seemed much more rxed, “You’re taking things too seriously. Miss Thompson said that it’s normal for Edith to have a fever. She just needs to get through tonight, and the fever will break.”


    Linda had great faith in Vi Thompson.


    She continued, “Yesterday, Angus Wilson called me. The dizziness and coughing he was experiencing was cured with just one bowl of soup from Miss Thompson. So, don’t worry.”


    Angus Wilson had tried many western medications for his condition without sess and evenined to her about it. Unexpectedly, Vi Thompson cured him with just one medicinal dish.


    This was more than enough to prove Vi Thompson’s abilities.


    “Do you know that Edith has a fever of thirty-nine degrees!” Harriet frowned, “I’ve consulted with Old Doctor Bruce, and her current situation is life-threatening. Old Doctor Bruce has a way to save Edith. I’ve already discussed it with him; all you have to do is call him and apologize.”


    “What divine doctor? I think he’s just a quack. He didn’t even see her in person, and he already knows she’s in danger? Nonsense!” Linda changed her tone, “I know you care about Edith, but calm down. Edith’s situation is within Miss Thompson’s expectations.”


    Quack?


    Hearing this, Harriet was somewhat angry.


    “Linda, be clear about who the real quack is!” Harriet’s voice was raised, “Edith’s fever isn’t going away. If something happens to her, who can take the responsibility?”


    A thirty-nine-degree fever was extremely dangerous, indicating severe inmmation in the body. If it did not subside in time, it could even lead to high fever convulsions, causing harm to the body’s organs.


    Harriet had previously learned some clinical medicine, so he understood this much.


    Therefore, it was imperative to bring down Edith’s fever as soon as possible.


    Linda understood Harriet’s feelings as a father and tried to speak in a calm tone, “Husband, even if you don’t trust Miss Thompson, you should at least trust me. I am Edith’s mother; would I harm her?”


    “Linda, I know you have a strong sense of self-esteem and are unwilling to bow to others. That’s why I’ve been trying to amodate you in our daily interactions. But right now, Edith’s life is at stake. Can you just listen to me this once? Apologize to Old Doctor Bruce.”


    Linda slightly frowned, “This isn’t a matter of apologizing or not, that Old


    Doctor Bruce’s character is problematic.”


    Feeling somewhat helpless, Harriet rubbed his temples. Since Linda was unwilling to call Old Doctor Bruce, he had no choice but to make the call himself.


    Upon seeing Harriet’s call once more, satisfaction surfaced in Old Doctor Bruce’s eyes.


    Since Linda took the initiative to call, he wouldn’t bother with her anymore.


    “Hello.”


    “Old Doctor Bruce.” Unexpectedly, Harriet’s voice came through the phone again.


    Old Doctor Bruce slightly frowned.


    “Mr. Bet, did you not hear what I said clearly?”


    Harriet immediately exined, “Old Doctor Bruce, my wife has a problem with her throat and can’t speak with you. However, she asked me to invite you over, and she’ll definitely apologize in person.” Old Doctor Bruce was furious.


    Did Harriet really take him for a fool?


    Without apologizing to him, they wanted to have him treat Edith?


    Absolutely impossible.


    A doctor should not only have a kind heart but also integrity.


    No matter the circumstances, a person should not lose their integrity.


    Old Doctor Bruce tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, “Mr. Bet, it seems you really don’t want your daughter to live!”


    After saying this, he hung up the phone.


    Watching the disconnected call, Harriet paced around anxiously and finally walked up to Linda, “If something happens to Edith tonight, we might as well not live together any longer!”


    “Fine, if anything happens to Edith, I’ll give my life to make it up to her.” Linda looked at Harriet earnestly.


    Since Linda had already said this much, Harriet couldn’t say anything more. He simply ruffled his hair, “Fine, fine, as long as you don’t regret it.”bender


    Time passed by every minute and second.For Harriet Bet, every second feels like a year.


    Unconsciously, he falls asleep on the couch in a drowsy state.


    After an unknown period of time, he is awakened by Linda’s voice, “Honey, honey, wake up!”


    Harriet wakes up with a start, grasping Linda’s arm, “What happened? Did something happen to Edith?”


    “Edith’s fever has gone down.” Linda hands Harriet the thermometer, “Look, and her spirit is better now.”


    Harriet takes the thermometer, seeing the temperature, he lets out a sigh of relief, pressing his hands together in gratitude, “Thank goodness…”


    Lindaughs and says, “I told you Miss Thompson is amazing, do you believe it now?”


    Harriet is slightly stunned, he had been prepared for the worst, but he never thought that there would be a way out, and then he asks, “When did Miss Thompson say that the gauze could be removed?”


    “Tomorrow.” Linda answers.


    Harriet nods.


    He’ll wait another day then.


    He hopes that Vi Thompson can really grant Edith a new lease on life.


    Soon, the next day arrives.


    Edith wakes up early in the morning andes to the living room, “Mom, has Miss Thompson arrived?”


    Linda smiles and says, “Didn’t we agree on ten o’clock? Don’t worry, Miss Thompson is punctual.” At this moment, a voicees from outside, “Edith.’


    “It’s Aunt’s voice.”


    Edith quickly stands up from the couch.


    Soon, Angus Wilson and Mrs. Wilson walk in from outside.


    “Angus, Linda, you’re here.”


    Mrs. Wilson smiles and says, “Sister, we’re here to take a look at Edith and to see what kind of fairy Miss Thompson is.”


    Linda greets the two and sits down, then asks, “Angus, did your sleep problem really get resolved?”


    “Yes.” Angus nods, “That’s why I say Miss Thompson is a Divine Doctor!” Ten o’clock in the morning.


    They thought Vi Thompson woulde on time, but at ten past ten, there is still no sign of her.


    Now Linda is getting anxious, constantly checking her watch. Angus takes out his phone, “I’ll call Miss Thompson.”


    “Okay.” Linda nods.


    Angus dials the number, but receives a busy tone from the other end.


    “Sister, I didn’t get through.”


    Linda says, “It’s okay, we’ll try again in a while; Miss Thompson might be busy.”


    “Okay.” Angus nods.


    About thirty minutester, Angus still can’t contact Vi Thompson.


    Now Linda is getting worried, after all, Vi has always been punctual.


    Harriet walks over from the side, “I bet Vi doesn’t dare toe.’


    She promised that Edith’s face would get better in half a month, now the time hase, it’s normal for Vi not to answer the phone.


    Hearing this, Edith is about to cry, “No! Miss Thompson is not that kind of person!”


    Linda immediately goes tofort Edith, “Don’t worry, Edith, I also believe


    Miss Thompson is not that kind of person.”


    Harriet shakes his head helplessly, “At this point, you two still can’t see her true face? Edith, rest assured, no matter what your face looks like, you’ll always be daddy’s most precious daughter.” At these words, Edith cries out.


    She has been full of hope for these fifteen days.


    Even when she had a fever of 39 degreesst night, she still believed in Vi.


    But now, Vi is nowhere to be seen.


    Linda gives Harriet a nce, “Can’t you say less? I’m sure Vi has been dyed on the road, from what I know otf her, she wouldn’t just not show up.”


    Harriet sighs, “Do you think I don’t want Edith to get better? If she really was as capable as you said, would she run away at thest minute?”


    At this moment.


    The housekeeperes in from outside, “Sir, ma’am, Miss Thompson has arrived..”
