Because Eleanor Sterling used her Chinese name, Rochelle Jennings assumed she was the Chinese medicine doctor invited by Gabriel Jennings.
Unexpectedly, both Gabriel Jennings and Rochelle Jennings mistook Eleanor Sterling for someone invited by the other.
Ryan Jennings took the initiative to stand, saying, "Let me take you to Grandma’s room to have a look."
Eleanor Sterling nodded and followed him upstairs.
"I’ll go have a look too." Zella Crawford couldn’t contain her curiosity and followed them upstairs.
After the three left, Rochelle Jennings gave Gabriel Jennings a fierce glare, "Hmph, if Mom doesn’t get better, Dad definitely won’t forgive you."
Gabriel Jennings frowned; since Rochelle Jennings’ doctor had arrived first, he decided to let her take a look first.
Without saying a word, he turned and went upstairs.
Rochelle Jennings thought he agreed, feeling even more dissatisfied. She wanted to keep a close watch to ensure no one took advantage of the situation.
Inside the room, the elderly Mrs. Jennings was lying in bed, looking frail and worn.
When Eleanor Sterling saw her, her heart suddenly tightened.
Is this her grandmother?
Ryan Jennings walked into the room, "Grandma, I brought a friend to see you."
The Jennings Family had previously invited many doctors to see the elderly Mrs. Jennings, but she rejected them all, even driving them out.
Now, concerned about her health, they had no choice but to invite someone again.
To prevent the elderly Mrs. Jennings from resisting, Ryan chose a more acceptable explanation.
Eleanor Sterling suppressed her emotions and stepped forward, saying, "Madam, hello, I’m Eleanor Sterling, a friend of Young Master Jennings."
Hearing her natural tone, Ryan Jennings glanced at Eleanor Sterling, surprised at how well she adapted.
The elderly Mrs. Jennings turned her head, looking listlessly at Eleanor Sterling. This content belongs to novel✶fire.net
In the next second, her previously dim eyes suddenly flickered with a bright light.
"Ryan, she’s your friend?"
Ryan Jennings coughed lightly, "Yes."
He gestured to Eleanor Sterling to come closer, signaling her to discreetly examine the elderly Mrs. Jennings.
Eleanor Sterling nodded, then stepped forward, sitting down by the bedside and holding her frail wrist.
As Eleanor Sterling moved closer, the elderly Mrs. Jennings could clearly see her eyes.
They looked so much alike.
Exactly like her daughter, the elderly Mrs. Jennings’ eyes showed a hint of sorrow.
Eleanor Sterling remained silent for some time, already having made a diagnosis in her heart regarding the elderly Mrs. Jennings’ condition.
At this moment, the elderly Mrs. Jennings noticed Gabriel Jennings and Rochelle Jennings at the doorway, her expression turning stern.
"She’s not Ryan’s friend; she’s the doctor you invited, right!"
Everyone showed a trace of awkwardness on their faces.
Gabriel Jennings spoke, "Mom, your health can’t be delayed any longer, let her take a look."
This time, Rochelle Jennings didn’t argue with Gabriel Jennings; instead, she agreed, "Yes, Mom, just let her see."
Initially, they thought the elderly Mrs. Jennings would be angry again, as before, and adamantly refuse treatment.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly said, "All of you leave; I want to speak with her alone."
Rochelle Jennings quickly tugged at Gabriel Jennings, signaling him to stop talking. As long as the elderly Mrs. Jennings was willing to be examined, it was enough.
Seeing this, Gabriel Jennings immediately shut up, leading Ryan Jennings and Zella Crawford out.
The two shrugged and then left together.
As the room door closed, only Eleanor Sterling and the elderly Mrs. Jennings remained.
The elderly Mrs. Jennings looked at Eleanor Sterling with gentle eyes, beckoning her, "Child, come here."
Eleanor Sterling walked over, "Madam, I am indeed the doctor they invited to treat you, my name is Eleanor Sterling."
The elderly Mrs. Jennings didn’t care about this; she stared into Eleanor Sterling’s eyes, instantly becoming teary.
Eleanor Sterling felt somewhat awkward; did the elderly Mrs. Jennings remember her mother?
Eleanor Sterling had only a faint impression of Jeanette Jennings and didn’t know how much she resembled her.
"Can you take off your mask and let me see?" asked the elderly Mrs. Jennings.
Eleanor Sterling hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded and removed her mask.
