Chapter 48 Visiting the Witch Doctor

Emily was caught off guard for a moment.

Veda, being her usual demanding self, said, "I don't care. You need to make me some special gifts. A card just won't cut it."

Emily, with a frosty look, shot back, "I can't do it. Find someone else."

Veda, not backing down, said, "I don't care. You have to do it. If you don't, I'll go to Michael or grandpa and tell them you're bullying me. Let's see if Michael will help you then."

Emily thought Veda was a lost cause. "Go ahead," she said, then turned and walked away. Veda stayed behind, stomping her foot in frustration.

When Michael found Emily, she was feeding the fish on the porch. He walked over, took the fish food from her hand, and said impatiently, "I'm taking you to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon."

Emily's heart skipped a beat, but she played it cool. "Why go to the hospital for a check-up when I'm fine?"

Michael sighed, "Didn't you hear what grandpa said? He wants me to take you to the hospital to make sure there are no aftereffects. You've been saying your stomach isn't well for a long time, but why are you still throwing up? I don't believe it's a minor issue, so we're going to the hospital."

Emily panicked. "I don't want to go. I'm too tired today."

But Michael, relentless, said, "Emily, are you testing my patience? You're going today, whether you like it or not."

Michael had been dealing with nausea and chest tightness for so long that he was also a bit on edge. So today, no matter what, he was taking Emily to the hospital.

Seeing she couldn't win the argument, Emily thought for a moment and decided to go, partly out of spite. She thought she might as well tell him the truth.
