Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 725

Chapter 725

At the hospital emergency room, the attending doctor took off his mask and explained the situation to the Fletcher family gathered around. “After the first treatment, the child’s vital signs have stabilized.”

“Doctor, what exactly happened to my daughter?” Susan asked, her voice shaking.

“Based on her symptoms and tests, we diagnosed her with severe pathogenic cold, which is a traditional medicine term,” the doctor said while reviewing the records.

“This usually happens from long-term exposure to cold. Has she often been in damp or chilly places?” the doctor asked.

Susan grabbed her husband’s arm tightly. “With this weather, she wouldn’t catch a cold outside. Maybe she got cold at school. Doctor, will this happen again?”

The doctor’s face grew serious. “Yes, it will. She’ll need long-term care and medication for life. I suggest you find an experienced traditional medicine doctor. Next time, it might not be this lucky.”

After the doctor left, Evan frowned and called his secretary, telling him to find out exactly how Avery got chilled. Susan almost collapsed. “Lifelong medication? Is Avery ruined? How did this happen?”

Lexie’s expression darkened. “We have to investigate, but the priority now is to get Mr. Todd to see her.”

Terry said, “Grandma, Mr. Todd is not in a suitable condition for a medical appointment right now. If not him, maybe his apprentice could help.”

Derek thought for a moment. “My sister knows traditional medicine. We could ask her to take a look.”

Susan yelled angrily, “I don’t trust her!”

Derek’s face instantly went cold. “If you don’t trust her, fine.”

If it wasn’t for Avery, he wouldn’t care. Evan said, “I’ll go to Todd School first thing tomorrow. Let’s check on Avery now.”

Tessa quietly came up to Derek. “The sister you’re talking about is Aria.”

Derek nodded and glanced at Susan before emphasizing, “Yes, my sister Madelyn is a professor at Kerano Global Health.”

“Madelyn!” Tessa was shocked. “She’s the one researching protease inhibitors who saved millions of lives.”

That wasn’t in the files. Dorian had only looked into the Solemnity Guild. “So she has that background,” Tessa glanced at Susan and shook her head helplessly.

‘You have a top expert right here, but because of some bias, you’re letting your daughter suffer,’ she thought.

Lexie wanted to call Aria right away, but Susan’s attitude wasn’t like someone asking for help. If the treatment failed, they’d probably insult Aria. Better not to get involved for now.

Tessa said, “Mrs. Fletcher, I’m leaving now. If you need anything, please contact me immediately.”

Lexie nodded. “Okay.”

Evan said, “Mom, you should go rest. We’ve got this covered.”

Adamson and Norah helped Lexie leave. Gloria and her husband stayed for two hours before leaving with a tired Tina. Terry and Derek stayed behind.

Chapter 725

Aria called Derek. “How did the tests go?”

Derek repeated what the doctor said. “Susan is something. You could’ve come to see Avery anytime.”

Aria said, “As long as Avery’s okay.” They had eaten together once at Amour Bistro. Aria liked the little girl.

Early that morning, Avery needed emergency care again. The Fletcher family hadn’t expected things to get so serious. Susan was nearly in tears. “What do we do, Evan? We have to get Mr. Todd now!”

Evan held his daughter’s small hand and forced himself to stay calm. “It’s too late to go to the Todd family now. I’ll try to reach Dr. Webster.”

Terry grabbed his coat. “Evan, I’ll drive you.”

They hurried off, unaware that Culver wouldn’t dare see patients at this hour. Luckily, they had called Nikolas. After feeling Avery’s pulse, Nikolas looked serious. “The cold toxin has already reached her heart vessels.”

He took out his acupuncture kit. “I’ll try to stabilize her for now. But this case is special. There are some key points I’m not fully confident about.”

“Is Mr. Todd the only option?” Susan asked, tears running down her face.

Nikolas shook his head. “Grandpa is too old. This kind of precise acupuncture is too difficult for him.” Then he suddenly remembered something. “But there’s one more person who might help.”

“Who?” Everyone in the Fletcher family asked at once.

Nikolas put away his silver needles and said, “My junior.”

Terry quickly asked, “You mean Dr. Axton?”

Nikolas shook his head. “My senior is good at acupuncture, but my junior is even better.”

He looked admiringly. “When my junior treated Grandpa, even my senior admitted he couldn’t match her.” His senior was great in other areas, but not with acupuncture. She was born for it.

Susan grabbed at this hope. “Where is he? The Fletcher family will pay whatever it takes!”

Nikolas gave a knowing look. “You should know her. It’s Aria.”

“What?” Susan’s eyes went wide, and her face turned pale.

Derek was shocked too. “My sister is Mr. Todd’s apprentice? Why didn’t I know?”

Nikolas smiled. “Grandpa shamelessly took her on as an apprentice. Not many people know that. I’ve seen her acupuncture myself. No one beats her except Grandpa at his prime.”

Seeing the family’s reactions, he added, “You could also ask Axton to try.”

Susan looked at her husband. “Evan, Aria doesn’t like us much. I’m worried she won’t treat Avery well. Maybe we should ask Dr. Axton.”

Evan frowned. “Susan, Nikolas already said we should ask Aria. Are you sure you want to settle for Axton? This is your own daughter!”

Susan broke down crying. “What else can I do? Aria’s gone after Lennox before. She’ll definitely go after Avery, too.”

“Gone after Lennox?” Evan looked at his son. “Lennox, did Aria go after you?” Derek leaned against the wall, curious about what Lennox would say.
