Chapter 88: My Services Are Not Free

It was a half-hour drive from Ensford High School to where the Lehman family resided. Jared drove the car at breakneck speed, almost as if racing, but fortunately, there were few vehicles on the street at that time, and they arrived in just fifteen minutes.

When Tina arrived, Grandma Lehman and Mrs. Fanning were anxiously stomping their feet in place. The sight of Tina prompted Grandma Lehman to rush over, "Tina, you're finally here. Hurry upstairs and have a look. The family doctor is there. Shonna has stopped having convulsions but her fever has shot up to forty degrees, her complexion's yellow as wax, and she's unconscious."

"Alright, I'll go have a look," Tina said and proceeded upstairs, with the nanny leading the way.

Jared didn't go up; it wasn't appropriate for a man to enter a young girl's room.

Mrs. Fanning watched Tina ascend the stairs, dumbfounded. She hadn't come to terms with the situation when Grandma Lehman followed upwards. Mrs. Fanning quickly grabbed Grandma Lehman's hand, "Is this the Miss Reed you mentioned?"

Mrs. Fanning hadn't been out much lately, and she hadn't attended the birthday party organized by the Reed family, so she was unaware of Tina's identity.

Grandma Lehman nodded, "Yes, the Miss Reed who saved me is her, Miss Reed, Tina Reed! Hurry, stop dawdling, and come have a look!"

Before Mrs. Fanning could respond, she was whisked upstairs by Grandma Lehman. It wasn't until she saw Tina's serious expression, as she inserted needles into Shonna, that she realized they had approached the wrong person. Beatrice, seeing Shonna's condition, was trembling with urgency. She was stunned to silence by Tina's immediate action of administering acupuncture without a word, "Miss Reed?"

Tina did not respond; she was intensely focused on the acupuncture.

As Beatrice was about to ask Tina her purpose, Grandma Lehman pulled her aside, "Don't disturb Miss Reed. She's the best doctor you could find. If you interrupt her, Shonna might truly be beyond help."
