Chapter 77 She Is a Very Good Girl
Bethany waited for ten minutes at the coffee shop downstairs in Zavala Group, when Nolan arrived.
"Dr. Caldwell, I'm sorry to bother you." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"That's all right. I'm quite free." Bethany asked, "Mr. Shepard, did you need me for something?"
Nolan opened a file bag in his hand. He took the paper outside as he explained, "I want you to help me
check my mother's film. The doctor said it was gastritis. Later, an expert suspected it was cancer. So
my mother did another examination. Unfortunately, the expert went abroad to give a speech this
morning. I'm not good at this. I suddenly remembered that you were an expert in this field. So I took it
here and wanted you to have a look first."
"Thank you. I'll try my best." Bethany took the film, checked it carefully, and then looked at the
checklist, slowly frowning.
"Is it really cancer?" Seeing her like this, Nolan asked cautiously, with foreboding.
"In the case of Fiona, it was normal that it was considered as gastritis or gastric ulcer for the first
examination, but the difference lies in its special shape. This situation is rare, so it isn't easy to find. It's
right that the expert advised your mother to do another examination. Although it was diagnosed as
cancer, fortunately, it is in the middle stage, and there is still a great hope of a cure." Bethany said
slowly.
Hearing that, Nolan still couldn't help worrying. He thought it was a false alarm, but unexpectedly...
"Does Mrs. Shepard know?"
"I didn't dare to tell her the truth, so I told her it was gastritis."
"Don't let her know, or the psychological pressure on her will be massive."
"Of course, I know this. But I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it. Afterward, she needs an operation and
a series of chemotherapy," Nolan said worriedly.
Bethany thought for a while. Then she came up with an idea and said, "Well, you can tell Mrs. Shepard
that the result of the examination this time showed it was a relatively serious gastric ulcer and that the
doctor said it was best to undergo surgery for treatment. As for the follow-up chemotherapy, you can
ask the doctor to come and give her chemotherapy injections under the pretext of nutritional injections.
Anyway, you must keep it from her."
"Okay, then I will make a fake medical record for my mother." Nolan said gratefully, "Thank you so
much, Dr. Caldwell."
"Not at all. Spend more time with your mother and get her into surgery as soon as possible."
"I got it." Nolan got up and said in a hurry, "Then I'll do it now. Thank you, Dr. Caldwell."
After speaking, Nolan walked out quickly.
Bethany really didn't have a good impression of Karter and his daughter, but she felt that Fiona was
very kind and that Nolan was easy to get along with.
Although it was mid-term cancer, she would suffer a lot, even if it could be cured. As a doctor, she had
seen too many cases. It was still inevitable for her to feel sorry for someone around her who had
cancer.
After Nolan left, Bethany sat alone there, drinking coffee. After a while, she saw Raymond's car coming
out of the underground garage, followed by a Bentley.
Was he going to have lunch with that important client?
The contract between Zavala Group and Ocean Construction had already been signed. Adriel treated
Raymond to lunch, and Raymond agreed.
The place where the two dined was the top hotel. They entered a private room on the top floor, with
special glass walls. From the inside, they could overlook the entire Parkville.
After sitting down, Adriel looked out the window and sighed, "I haven't been back for several years.
Parkville has changed a lot."
"Mr. Tucker, you're a Parkville local?" Raymond asked.
"No, I lived in Parkville for five years." After that, Adriel looked out of the window again and looked in a
direction. He couldn't help but think of something, and his eyes were darkened.
Although it was a tiny change, Raymond still noticed it and asked, "This city seems to have a special
meaning to you."
After being seen through, Adriel smiled very awkwardly, and then replied, "Mr. Zavala, you're really
discerning. I'm embarrassed to admit that my ex-girlfriend is here."
Mentioning this, the gloom in Adriel's eyes seemed to become more intense.
"So that's how it is." Raymond had already guessed it. "It can be seen that you still love her very
much."
Hearing this, Adriel smiled bitterly and then answered honestly, "Yes, she is a very good girl, but
unfortunately, there are many helpless things in this world, and I had to part with her back then."
"It is indeed a pity."
Adriel gave another bitter smile and then asked, "I heard that you have a very handsome and lovely
son. Mrs. Zavala must be a great beauty."
"The woman I have my eye on is indeed a beauty," said Raymond proudly.
"That's natural." After speaking, Adriel lifted a tall glass. "Come on, Mr. Zavala, I hope that we will
cooperate pleasantly."
"Me too." Raymond also raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp after chinking glasses.
......
After sitting in the coffee shop downstairs for a while, Bethany returned home and continued to reply to
the patients who consulted her online.
"Lisa, go take a nap." Ainsley poured her a glass of warm water and handed it over.
"Thank you, Ainsley. I'm not sleepy. You can go take a nap," Bethany said.
"Then I'll go take a nap. Lisa, don't be too tired." After all, Ainsley was old and needed to take a nap.
"No, I won't."
Ainsley walked out of the study, closed the door, and went to the guest room to sleep.
Bethany remained focused on replying to the messages on the internet until the doorbell rang.
Ainsley went to bed, and Bethany had to run out and open the door. As soon as the door was opened,
a smell of alcohol came over her face. Standing outside the door was Raymond.
Raymond's face was slightly red. With one hand resting on the doorframe, he looked at Bethany with
his bleary eyes. It seemed that he dined with his client and drank too much.
"How much alcohol have you drunk?" Raymond wanted to enter, and Bethany had to get out of the way
and help him in. After all, it was also his house.
"I didn't drink much."
During the meal, Raymond and Adriel were very formal. But when Adriel talked about his past love life,
he drank more and more.
But Raymond didn't drink much. Due to his physical condition, he never drank these years, which
caused him to get drunk even if he drank less now.
Seeing him a bit drunk, the driver wanted to take him back to the Zavala's mansion, but Raymond
asked him to drive to Bethany's place. The driver had no choice but to drive him over.
Bethany helped him into the bedroom. Raymond threw himself directly onto the bed, somewhat irritably
tearing at the tie on his chest, along with the buttons of his shirt, and revealing his chest.
