Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 56 Prescription

Chapter 56 Prescription

Rachel anxiously stood by the bed with a pale face. Outsiders might think she was filial. But she was so worried because Madame Clark was her only protection umbrella in the Clark family. If Madame Clark died, no one would regard her as the young lady of the Clark family any longer. And the blow would be devastating. So, she hoped Madame Clark would recover more than anyone else.

The woman lying on the bed had crooked eyes, hemiplegia, and numbness on one side of her body. She was suffering from a stroke. So, she was no longer bossy or arrogant.

Nelson casually glanced at her and said, "Since you said we should send her to the hospital, let's go."

Matthew said, "People who suffer from a stroke could not withstand the wind. I will ask the servants to bring some quilts over."

Charlotte suddenly stepped forward, pushed Rachel away, and sat on the bed. Then, she reached out to lift Madame Clark's eyelids, checked the whites of the eyes, and whispered, "Madame Clark, open your mouth."

Madame Clark's consciousness was fuzzy, so she subconsciously opened her mouth. Charlotte took a closer look and found her tongue was dark red with a thin white coating.

She picked up Madame Clark's skinny wrist to feel the pulse. Feeling the skipping pulse, she furrowed her delicate eyebrows, turned around to look at Scarlet kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Does Madame Clark often feel dizzy and irritable and have headaches? Does she stammer?"

Scarlet froze for a moment and frantically nodded, "Yes! You're right!"

Rachel who had pushed away flew into a rage after seeing Charlotte touch Madame Clark. So, she angrily said, "What are you doing? If anything happens to Grandma, can you bear the consequence?"

Charlotte ignored her and frowned, "Cinnamon Twig Syndrome can be caused by many factors, such as emotional depression, poor diet, overwork, climate change, and blood stasis. Madame Clark's stroke may be caused by emotional depression, anger, and climate change. We have missed the best time for treatment, so it will not help even if we send her to the hospital now."

Rachel was stunned to hear her words and shouted, "Do you think we should let her stay here instead of sending her to the hospital? Charlotte, stop being alarmist! I know you have learned a little medicine at home. But Madame Clark is noble. You should not have used her illness to show off! She suffers from emotional depression and anger because of you!"

She was so anxious that she was speaking without thinking. Although Nelson was present, she still harshly scolded Charlotte. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Charlotte paused and lowered her eyes. It wasn't because of Rachel's scolding but because she suddenly remembered Mr. Clark and her grandma were on bad terms. She had not exaggerated anything. Stroke could kill people. Madame Clark had been suffering from a stroke for a long time. If they send her to the hospital now, she might die on the way. So, it would be useless.

Charlotte had read many medical books of the Moore family, so she had the confidence to save her life. But she was afraid...

Thinking of this, she raised her clear eyes to look at Nelson. She was afraid if she rescued Madame Clark, he would be unhappy.

A smile suddenly appeared on Nelson's expressionless face. He slowly stroked his chin with his fingers, looked at Charlotte, and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Charlotte bit her lower lip, and her shellfish-like teeth left a white mark on her red lips. She didn't speak, but he understood the look in her eyes.

So, he indifferently said, "You can do whatever you want."

He sounded as if he did not care whether Elizabeth would die at all.

Hearing this, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. Since her childhood, her grandfather had taught her that a kind heart was more important than excellent medical skills for a doctor. So, it was hard for her to watch Elizabeth die without doing anything, although the latter had been making things difficult for her.

Rachel thought of something, quickly stopped in front of Madame Clark's bed, and said, "Nelson, are you insane? How can you let a little girl treat Grandma? No way! I don't agree! She must go to the hospital!"

The family doctor didn't know Charlotte's identity. He studied foreign medicine and knew little about traditional medicine, so he frowned, "Lady, it is a life-and-death matter! You can't treat people even if you read some medical books! We have no time to waste! Our priority is to send her to the hospital as soon as possible!"

Becca who had remained silent all the time glanced at Nelson and softly said, "Ms. Lopez, the situation is urgent. You can't use it as an opportunity to practice your medical skills. Dr. Hudson is a famous doctor. But even he can't do anything about it. You should stop showing off! We must send Madame Clark to the hospital as soon as possible!"

Rachel stared at Charlotte and said, "Grandma made things difficult for you, so you hate her and want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill her, right? Don't you even think about it!"

She thought Nelson had ordered Charlotte to make trouble because he wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate Madame Clark! And she would never let him get his way!

Charlotte gritted her teeth. Seeing Madame Clark's face getting increasingly pale, she was anxious. Stroke treatment could not be delayed! If they wasted more time here, even her grandfather could not save Madame Clark's life!

But the more urgent the situation was, the calmer she became. Her face looked strangely charming under the light when she resolutely stared at Rachel and said, "Ms. Brown, trust me. I won't hurt Madame Clark! It's too late to send her to the hospital now!"

Rachel's eyes turned red when she shouted, "Don't you even think about it! Grandma's illness is caused by you! Get out of here!"

Charlotte was also angry, but she was soft-tempered and wouldn't lose her temper. So, she only stretched out her hand, intending to push Rachel aside. Rachel looked fragile but was quite strong. So, she easily swung Charlotte away!

Charlotte exclaimed in shock but didn't fall to the ground because Nelson timely put his arm around her waist.

His eyes became cold when he said without looking at Charlotte, "Pull Rachel aside."

No one dared to disobey his order, so the servants could only drag Rachel aside.

"Nelson! You're insane! She is your biological grandma!" Rachel shouted like crazy.

"I know it better than you," Nelson contemptuously replied.

Matthew sullenly looked at him and asked, "Nelson, are you sure you will do it?"

Nelson lazily said, "I'm not a doctor. Why do you ask me about it."

Matthew turned to look at Charlotte racing against time to check Madame Clark's condition. When he was about to ask, Nelson coldly said, "Don't disturb her."

Matthew was speechless.

A drop of cold sweat appeared on the tip of Charlotte's nose, but she was surprisingly calm. She closed her eyes and said, "Madame Clark, this is a combination of the phlegm and the blood stasis. I need to dispel the cold, nourish the blood, invigorate the circulation of blood, and reduce phlegm. I will give a prescription."
