Jacob didn’t come for quite a while, so Lucia couldn’t sit still.
Jacob sent someone to watch over her. Lucia couldn’t leave, but she could still contact people outside the house. She didn’t know what happened in the past two days that when she called the doctors and the nurses hoping that they could take her out, she couldn’t get in contact with any of them.
Even Jacob’s phone was turned off!
It was already torture having to stay in the sickroom for a patient. It was even more torturous for Lucia, who was not diseased at all.
She was racking her brains to think about how to get out and find Jacob when she suddenly heard someone speak from outside her sickroom, “Mr. Murray.”
Lucia was overjoyed. Jacob came!
Afterward, she immediately took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and tidied the quilt. She then picked up the book next to her and pretended to be reading.
Jacob came in from the door and looked at Lucia on the sickbed coldly.
In the past, he felt distressed when he saw Lucia lying on the sickbed. But now he was calm and felt nothing.
As if she heard him just now, Lucia put down her book and looked up with surprise in her eyes. “Jake, you finally came to see me!”
Her tone was happy and a little resentful. “Where have you been these days? You didn’t answer my calls and you didn’t come to see me. I’m here by myself every day. It’s so boring.”
“Really?” Jacob replied lightly. “The heart exchange operation was unsuccessful, but you look much better.”
Lucia’s heartbeat suddenly sped up, but her face showed confusion and disbelief. She covered her face and said somewhat cautiously, “Do I really look much better? I don’t know what’s going on in the past few days. I just suddenly felt better. Maybe…”
She paused and said with hesitation, “Maybe it is my sister’s blessing. After all, although my sister is dead, her heart was meant to be mine. Although the operation was unsuccessful, maybe her spirit protected me.”
Hearing her words, Jacob sneered inside. “I just invited a well-known doctor to come over and give you a check-up to see if you really got better.”
Lucia’s face turned pale as she panicked. “No… there’s no need.”
“I’ll have him come over in a bit.” Jacob saw the panic in her eyes and couldn’t help but think of Katherine that anger almost overflowed.
Why didn’t he notice that Lucia was lying before? She never told the truth, but he believed most of it.
“There’s no need, Jake.” Lucia was nervous. “I don’t want to see a doctor recently. I get scared as soon as I see a doctor.”
Jacob didn’t want to see her pretend to be innocent again and left after saying, “Wait.”
“Jake!” Lucia called out anxiously, but Jacob didn’t even stop.
Jacob was not joking. Within a few minutes, a nurse came in to take Lucia for an examination.
Lucia was scared, but she had no reason to refuse. At this time, if she pretended to faint, the situation would only get worse.
Along the way, Lucia did not see the doctors and nurses she was familiar with, nor did she see Jacob. This made her feel more flustered.
When she saw the doctor, she thought about it carefully and said to the nurse, “I have some private questions to ask the doctor. Could you please step out?”
The nurse smiled and left.
The doctor that Jacob invited looked about forty to fifty years old. He looked like a rigid and serious person.
“Miss Lucia, right?” The doctor looked down and seemed to be reading Lucia’s medical record.
“Yes.” Lucia nodded.
The doctor looked up at Lucia and suddenly said, “Based on Miss Lucia’s complexion, you don’t look like someone in poor health.”
An idea came to Lucia’s mind, and she looked straight at him. “Sometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth. It depends on what we do.”
The doctor frowned. “I don’t understand what Miss Lucia is saying.”
“How much did Jake give you? I’ll give you double the amount. You just need to do what I said. I can transfer the money to you now.” Lucia was quite calm and experienced.
“Miss Lucia wants me to falsify medical records for you?” The doctor asked with displeasure. “This is against professional ethics. I won’t ever do it.”
“What? Too little?” Lucia smiled, a little carelessly. “Then name the price, and I will try to satisfy you.”
She spoke as if she was certain that the doctor would agree.
This doctor was very famous in major hospitals. He was also famous for his selflessness and rigidness. At this moment, he was very angry. “It won’t make a difference even if you give me 100 million. If Miss Lucia is ready, then let’s get ready for the examination. I have surgery to perform later.”
Lucia did not expect this doctor to be so stubborn. “You better think over it carefully. There’s still time for you to make a request now. You might not have this opportunity later.”
She said that but in fact, she was the most flustered.
“Miss Lucia is very rich.”
This did not come from the doctor. Lucia felt her body become stiff.
