The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

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.”
