Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Jenny shook her head, her tone urgent. "No, you're missing the point. They're only after the reputation. None of them truly cares about treating him. They just hope saving Grandpa Samuel will curry favor with the Summers family. They won't make a real effort to help." Jenny's concerns weren't unfounded. Samuel, patriarch of the renowned Summers family, was indeed in the top hospital in Hillarica, run by the Evans family. The doctors there were likely more preoccupied with who would claim credit for the surgery than with actually saving Samuel's life, leaving Jenny deeply worried. "Olivia, you're the finest doctor I know. You have to save him. Every medical text teaches that a true doctor begins with compassion. Please, have a little mercy." Jenny nestled closer, her eyes brimming with hope. Olivia pretended to think, and then replied quietly, "If you want me to take the case, my fee is one thousand." Jenny nodded like crazy. With Olivia's skills, even one million wouldn't be too much. Olivia remembered the message Lucas had sent and started to suspect something. "Jenny, don't tell me you're from the Summers family?" Jenny froze as she was climbing out of bed, forcing a laugh to play it cool. "No way..." she said, awkwardly. 'If she finds out who I really am, maybe she won't want me around anymore,' Jenny worried, thinking. Olivia's eyes flashed, her lips curling into a half-smile, half-smirk. "Relax, I was just messing with you." Jenny finally let out a sigh of relief. 'There's no way she knows about the Summers family. She's so laid-back, probably indifferent to all that wealthy drama. Her life must be much simpler. She's definitely not entangled in Kingtonelle's affairs,' Jenny mused. The Summers family had always kept a low profile. Except for this time, when they sought medical help and searched for their granddaughter, they never drew attention to themselves. Among all the elite families in Kingtonelle, the Summers were the most discreet. Even the Summers brothers never revealed their family ties, making names for themselves in different circles. If Jenny ever exposed the Summers family, it would be a serious problem. Of course, none of Jenny's little tricks escaped Olivia's notice, but she didn't say a word. Olivia didn't care about anyone's background; she only cared about her patients. Soon, they arrived at Hillarica General Hospital. In the ICU's top-floor SVIP suite, Samuel lay unconscious, surrounded by a tangle of tubes and wires. He moaned softly, barely able to whisper, but those who listened closely could discern the words "Ivy" and "I'm sorry." David, Samuel's assistant, was frantically pacing, on the verge of panic. Samuel's sudden, severe illness had baffled even the Summers family's top doctors. With no other options, David placed all his hopes on the Evans family, Hillarica's most renowned medical dynasty. Rumor had it that Henry was a legendary, almost miraculous doctor, and his son Nathan was a world-famous surgeon. 1/2 21:12 Fri, 29 Aug Chapter 26 33% 28 Meanwhile, Nathan lounged in his office, obsessively tapping his phone to rig votes for himself. When he heard the intern's report, he just scoffed. "Can't you see I'm occupied? Make him wait. The sicker he gets, the more impressive my skills will seem when I finally intervene." He was in the middle of the city's "Best-Looking Doctor" contest, and with only ten minutes left before voting closed, he was frantically tapping away to rack up more votes for himself. The new intern, clearly worried, spoke up. "But, sir, that elderly gentleman is really sick. If we wait any longer, he might not make it." Nathan rolled his eyes, annoyed. "He's not gonna die. Just tell them I'm working on a treatment plan. What's the rush?" He wasn't about to drop everything just because someone needed him. That would make him look like a pushover. "Dr. Evans, this is an emergency." The intern couldn't stand it anymore and kept trying to persuade Nathan. Nathan tossed a pair of tweezers at the intern with a sneer.
