Quickly, Alexander arrived at Isabella’s home. As soon as he entered, he saw an elderly lady, with white hair, lying in bed.

She appeared to be around seventy, with a very frail figure. Especially her facial features, looking skeletal, with almost no flesh on her face.

At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, her body curled up, trembling slightly.

Isabella was anxiously by her side, but other than shedding tears, there was nothing else she could do. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Seeing Alexander arrive, Isabella quickly stood up. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then forced a smile at Alexander.

"You’re here? How do you think my grandmother’s condition is? I don’t want to see her in so much pain, but I also can’t bear for her to leave me," Isabella choked as she spoke to Alexander.

Alexander approached to observe, noticing that the elderly woman’s face was slowly turning black, and the rise and fall of her chest was weakening. It was easy to see that her situation was not optimistic, she might not survive the next few hours.

"Your grandmother’s condition is severe, and she hasn’t received effective treatment for some time. Precious time has been wasted," Alexander sighed.

"Who are you? What do you mean by wasted precious time? Do you know how much we’ve sacrificed to treat her?" A tall woman who appeared to be around forty shouted at Alexander.

Isabella quickly intervened, "Jennifer Aunt, this is my friend, he is proficient in medicine, he might be able to treat grandmother’s condition."

Jennifer, with a questioning tone, retorted, "Isabella, are you a two-year-old? Can’t you tell that he’s a fraud? He must want to take advantage of us and make a fortune."

"You can’t say things without basis, that’s really impolite, I’ve already told you, he’s my friend! And I can guarantee, he absolutely has no intention of coveting any wealth," Isabella defended.

"Hmph, what do you know? You probably don’t even know, just today I signed a very important business contract with the Smith family. Soon, I will become very wealthy," Jennifer said proudly.

As she spoke, she glanced at Alexander from the corner of her eye, giving off a strange sense of superiority.

In the face of Jennifer’s baseless accusations, Alexander didn’t get angry. Calmly, he asked, "I just want to know, who is in charge of the cooperation with the Smith company?"

"Do you even have to think about it? Of course, it’s my husband and me!" Jennifer exclaimed loudly.

"Alright, I understand." Alexander pulled out his phone and said lightly, "Wait a moment. There are some things that I probably didn’t explain clearly, and I think it’s necessary to make a phone call."

"Hmph, if you’re going to make a call, do it outside. Don’t disturb the old lady’s rest!" Jennifer shouted, seemingly forgetting that her voice was louder than anyone else’s.

Without saying more, Alexander turned around and walked out. He was back in less than a minute.

Immediately following this, Jennifer’s phone rang. She looked at it and her expression became extremely tense.

She gestured for everyone to be silent, then answered the phone in the room, "Hello, dear Smith. How come you called me so quickly? Are you eager to cooperate with us? Don’t worry... What? Why do you want to cancel the cooperation with me!"

Jennifer’s voice suddenly became extremely shrill, making her appear like a shrew with no manners.

"You say this matter must be handled by Isabella? That’s impossible, she’s so young. How can she be more competent than me?"

Then, Smith’s indifferent voice came from the phone, "I’m calling you today to inform you, not to discuss with you.

You only have two choices now: either let Isabella take full charge, in which case I can raise her share to 15%, or you can step out, and I will find other business partners to cooperate with."

After saying this, Smith hung up directly. Jennifer stood there, holding her phone, dumbfounded for a long time.

Suddenly, Jennifer began yelling at Alexander, "It’s all your fault, you bring bad luck! Get out of here, your presence is like a plague!"

"What an ill-mannered woman," Alexander sighed in exasperation, failing to comprehend why such a foolish person existed in Isabella’s home.

When Alexander had initially stepped out to make a phone call, Isabella already had a hunch about what he was up to. But unlike Jennifer, Isabella was genuinely concerned about her grandmother’s health. The severity of her grandmother’s condition was not something she could overlook easily.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, Isabella’s grandmother groaned in pain. She hugged her shoulders, trembling, her expression more pained than ever.

Growing more anxious at the sight, Isabella looked at Alexander and pleaded, "Please help my grandmother, even if it’s just a try."

"I’ll try," Alexander responded without further comment.

He quickly took out the acupuncture needles - rewards from his system - and skillfully began the treatment on several points on the grandmother’s body.

Despite his apparent ease, his brow was furrowed, indicating the procedure was not as simple as it seemed.

Isabella’s grandmother was seriously ill, the weariness not only taking a toll on her body but draining her life force as well.

Each breath seemed to draw the last ounce of strength from her life, making her complexion even paler, the veins under her parched skin even more prominent.

Her eyes were tightly shut, the pain etched on her face.

Meanwhile, Isabella watched nervously, her eyes filled with urgency and anticipation. She knew all too well that if her grandmother could not be saved, she would lose the person who had raised her since childhood.

However, under Alexander’s treatment, her grandmother’s condition gradually improved. The painful groans subsided, her body no longer trembling. Her breathing steadied, and her complexion returned to normal.

To ensure Isabella’s grandmother’s recovery, Alexander fetched a miraculous healing pill - another reward from his system - and fed it to her.

After consuming the pill, the grandmother’s condition improved remarkably, so much so that she could sit up.

Watching this unfold, Isabella couldn’t help but shed tears. She walked up to Alexander, hugging him tightly, expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Alexander, you really did it."

Alexander smiled, gently patting her shoulder, "I just did what I could. Remember, your grandmother still needs time to recover fully. Make sure she rests quietly, undisturbed by noise."

"What do you mean? Who’s making noise and disturbing? You better clarify!" Jennifer shouted once again.

"Shut up and get out of here now!" Isabella’s grandmother retorted angrily.

"You can’t treat me like this, I’m Jennifer! Why do you choose to believe an irrelevant commoner over me?" Jennifer yelled loudly.

"Commoner?" Isabella’s grandmother chuckled, looking at Jennifer and said, "Though my eyes are a bit shortsighted, I can see at a glance that he’s far from an ordinary man.

Yet you, even now, still act with such astonishing foolishness. You are truly a disappointment!"
