The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 75

Vivienne's lips twitched a bit.

What a tangled web we weave, huh?

She unintentionally saved someone, who turned out to be Charlotte's grandma.

Charlotte looked at Mrs. Redwood in confusion. "Mom, what on earth is going on?"

Mrs. Redwood then explained, "We just landed today, and your grandmother wanted to get you some pastries from Crystal Bakery. It's hard to find parking there, so your dad and the driver waited in the car while I went with your grandma. But after we bought the pastries, your grandma suddenly fainted. We only had some cash on us, and we left our phones in the car. I was so panicked, but this lady here helped out. Thanks to her, your grandma is fine now."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte looked at Vivienne with gratitude. "Vivienne, you're our family's savior! How can I thank you? Should I offer myself to you?"

"I'm not into women."

Charlotte laughed and wrapped an arm around Vivienne's neck. "Neither am I, but I'm into you. How about you consider marrying me?"

Vivienne smacked her forehead. "My mom would rise from her grave to scold me!"

Charlotte chuckled, not continuing with her joke.

Vivienne also turned back to the main topic. "Who do you want me to treat?"

"My grandma," said Charlotte.

Vivienne was dumbstruck. "After I treated your grandma with acupuncture, she was fine. She just needs a full body check-up, and if there's any problem, she can just take medicine."

"Ah, you don't understand." Charlotte tried explaining, "After you saved my grandma, my parents immediately brought her to the hospital. This one was the nearest, but it's private. As soon as we arrived, they arranged for her to be admitted and did a bunch of check-ups. It's been hours, and the check-ups are scheduled till the day after tomorrow."

Charlotte was a bit angry. "Spending money is a small issue. The main problem is that the doctor said my grandma's condition is really serious. He scared us half to death. We don't want to casually transfer to another hospital, so I thought of you. Vivienne, please check on my grandma. Can you make sure that she really is okay now?"

Vivienne was at a loss for words.

She always thought she was pretty unethical for her high charges, but it seemed like there were people even less ethical than her. They arranged for admission without any check-ups? How money-hungry were they?

"Fine, let me take a look."

They opened the door to the ward and found that Clara seemed quite spirited.

Upon seeing Vivienne, she immediately tried to get up. “Isn't this the young lady who saved me? Quick, help me up. I owe you a thank you."

Mrs. Redwood hurried to help her, while Vivienne sat by her bed, pressing her down. "There's no need for formalities. Lie down first; let me check you."

Upon hearing this, Clara obediently lay down.

Vivienne did a check-up on her, and after a moment, she said, "Your previous episode was treated by my acupuncture. It won't recur. But you're older now, so there are some minor issues with your body. It's not a big problem. You don't need to be hospitalized."

"I knew it!" Clara grumbled, "Those doctors are nothing but swindlers. They are just out to con people out of their money."

Vivienne silently took out two pills from her pocket. "I have these two pills here. Once you take them, those minor issues won't bother you again."

"These must be expensive, right?" Clara had lived a long life and had seen a lot of people and things.

Vivienne's acupuncture skills even surpassed those of many famous doctors. You couldn't find someone with such skills, even if you had all the money in the world. After all, only a handful of people understood the mysteries of eastern medicine.

With such superb medical skills, the pills she held in her hand definitely wouldn't be cheap.

It seemed like Vivienne intended to give them to her for free.

"It's not expensive." Vivienne smiled, which only added to her beauty.

Clara and Mrs. Redwood exchanged a look as they both broke into smiles. "Alright, we'll buy this medicine." "Alright."

The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in his forties, dressed in a suit, walked in.

He was Charlotte's father, Anthony Redwood, the chairman of Redwood Group.

As soon as Anthony walked in, Mrs. Redwood greeted him. "Anthony, this is Ms. Vivienne, who saved our mother. Can you believe she's the Vivienne that Charlotte often talks about?"

Mrs. Redwood quickly recounted the whole story to him.

Anthony chuckled. "I never thought our daughter would start learning on her own without our teaching, and I heard it's all thanks to you. I've been wanting to personally thank you. If you're free, maybe we could treat you to a meal. How about it?"

"I appreciate the thought, but I have something on today. I will visit you another day." Vivienne replied politely. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Vivienne only stayed for a while before leaving.

Once she left the hospital, Percival called.

He asked if she was done and if she wanted to join them for dinner. Vivienne asked for the location and then went.

The restaurant was not far from Tranquil Estates.

After dinner, Thaddeus and Isolde fell asleep because they were tired from playing all day.

Vivienne drove them back to Tranquil Estates.

Percival had mentioned before that he wanted Isolde to stay here, but due to some things not yet arranged, she was not brought over. It was a good opportunity today, so she stayed.

The next day, Vivienne drove alone to Emerald Mountain, only telling Dorian and Cordelia that she had important matters and needed to be away for two days, but that she would be back before the engagement.

On the third day, Vivienne and Percival's engagement banquet caused a citywide stir.

On this day, the Hawthorn family publicly acknowledged Vivienne's identity and announced her engagement to Percival, a key man in the Ellington family.

The news quickly caught fire, and the media couldn't get enough of it, stirring up a whole lot of buzz.

The legitimate daughter of the Hawthorn family and Percival from the Ellington family were getting married.

Everyone in town was gearing up for the engagement bash.

The engagement party was held at the Azure Hotel. A middle-of-the-road kind of place. Dorian and Cordelia had done their level best.

But because they picked such a hotel, there were quite a few who wrinkled their noses.

"When Mom suggested she handle the engagement party, you insisted on taking the reins. Look at the kind of hotel you've picked!" Michael Hawthorn frowned. He was clearly not impressed. "Are you aware of the Ellington family's standing? Isn't having us dine in this kind of hotel like throwing mud in our dignity? And what on earth are you wearing? Can't you even afford decent clothes? You're gonna make a spectacle of us on such a big occasion!"
