Seeing the pitiful sight of both the grandmother and granddaughter, Brynn couldn’t help but soften.
She nodded gently, finally agreeing.
When Mrs. Johnson saw Brynn relent, both she and Zoe’s faces lit up with joy.
“Yay! Mommy still loves me!” Zoe cheered, raising her little arms in excitement, her face glowing with happiness.
“Hooray mommy!”
Brynn looked at Zoe with a helpless smile. She really wasn’t this little girl’s mommy.
But the girl was so stubborn, refusing to stop calling her “mommy“.
“Miss Everett, thank you so much,” Mrs. Johnson said, her eyes full of gratitude as she looked at Brynn.
She then exchanged contact information with Brynn.
Next, Mrs. Johnson pulled out a credit card from her purse and tried to hand it to Brynn.
“Miss Everett, this is for my granddaughter’s treatment. There’s ten million in it. If it’s not enough, just let me know…”
Brynn quickly pushed the card back into Mrs. Johnson’s hand. “Ma’am, I can’t accept this card.”
Who needs ten million for treatment? That’s just too much!
Mrs. Johnson was taken aback, as most people would have eagerly taken the money without hesitation when they heard ‘ten million“.
“Miss Everett, is ten million not enough? I can add more…”
“No, no!” Brynn quickly waved her hands. “It’s just too much. And I really like Zoe. The treatment fee isn’t necessary.”
Seeing that Brynn truly didn’t want the money, Mrs. Johnson reluctantly put the card away.
She never imagined that there would come a day when she would be rejected when giving away her card.
But at the same time, she felt even more admiration for Brynn. Not only was she skilled in medicine, but her character was also remarkable.
If only such a wonderful woman could be her daughter–in–law…
Ahem, that was too getting ahead of herself.
With her son’s thickheadedness, it was unlikely he’d ever find a wife. She should stop thinking about such silly things.
“By the way, ma’am, there’s something I must tell you,” Brynn’s expression became serious. “I’ve just examined Zoe, and her condition is quite rare. It’s not a typical heart disease. So… I can’t guarantee that I can completely cure her. For now, I can only help manage her condition.”
After saying this, Brynn looked at Mrs. Johnson nervously, unsure whether the woman would be disappointed.
‘After all, family members of patients just want their loved ones to get better, right?‘
“Just being able to relieve her condition would be great!” To Brynn’s surprise, Mrs. Johnson didn’t seem disappointed at all. Instead, she looked genuinely pleased.

Chapter 84
“Miss Everett, you’re truly amazing.” Mrs. Johnson praised Brynn, but couldn’t help but vent about the previous doctors. “The quacks I found before charged so much, but they couldn’t even alleviate Zoe’s pain, let alone treat her condition With Brynn’s treatment as a comparison, Mrs. Johnson grew even more dissatisfied with the doctors she’d seen before. “These so–called medical experts and professors, their titles sound impressive, but when it comes to real work, they’re all just empty–headed.” Mrs. Johnson shook her head repeatedly. “Calling them quacks is being too kind.
Hearing Mrs. Johnson’s complaints, Brynn didn’t dare to interrupt. She could only offer a polite but awkward smile.
Although she was trained by the Divine Doctor, she didn’t feel superior just because of that. She didn’t look down on other doctors.
In her view, every doctor had their strengths.
But of course, she was looking at things from a doctor’s perspective. The family of the patient, naturally, would have a different viewpoint.
Meanwhile, Gary, who was standing by, couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was being indirectly criticized.
Because he was a medical expert himself…
He had already chatted privately with the director on his phone, and the director had informed him of Mrs. Johnson’s identity.
Thinking about Zoe’s condition…
He realized that the “quacks” Mrs. Johnson mentioned seemed to be doctors he knew.
Doctors had their own circles, and he remembered that when Zoe’s condition was being discussed, a doctor from Eaglemont had posted about it in the group, asking for suggestions. Gary had even joined the discussion.
So, by extension, he had been involved in Zoe’s case.
‘Um…
So when Mrs. Johnson was complaining about the “quacks,” Gary felt like he, too, was part of that group.
As a doctor, no one could stand being called a quack, especially after so many years in the medical field.
But then he thought back to the time when the group had discussed Zoe’s condition, and everyone had been at a loss, unable to come up with any solutions. Meanwhile, Miss Everett had easily resolved the crisis.
Gary couldn’t help but feel that Mrs. Johnson’s comment about him being a quack wasn’t entirely untrue.
“Looks like my skills still aren’t sharp enough…” he muttered quietly to himself.
Brynn, hearing the soft murmur, looked at Gary with confusion. “Mr. Buckman, what did you say?”
His voice was too soft for her to catch the words clearly.
“Oh, nothing, nothing,” Gary quickly snapped back to attention, his face lighting up with anticipation as he looked at Brynn. “Miss Everett, we should definitely exchange more medical knowledge in the future.”
The legendary Divine Doctor’s apprentice and a potential teacher were right in front of him!
Gary’s eyes were practically shining as he looked at Brynn.
‘I must stick close to Miss Everett!‘
