The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 86

Over at Baker Manor.

Faye’s been taking the meds Arabella prescribed for three straight days now, but her condition hasn’t improved a bit.

She had a constant fever and was extremely weak, even vomiting and suffering diarrhea frequently. Bertha and Doreen were very anxious.

Just as the family doctor was administering fever reducers to Doreen, Bertha asked urgently, “Dr. Marcus, how’s Faye doing? Can her fever be brought down?”

“Ms. Faye’s condition is bloody serious. She’s been burning up for three days straight. Normally, she shouldn’t get feverish again so soon after the fever subsides, but she starts getting hot again only seven or eight hours after taking the medicine. The fever reducers aren’t working on her today.”

Dr. Marcus said seriously, “And her constant vomiting and diarrhea can’t be stopped. If this continues, Ms. Faye’s life could be in danger. I suggest taking her to the hospital.”

“But Ms. Hawthorn told us this is normal, it means the toxins in Faye’s body are being expelled. She told us to reduce the fever first, and only after the fever subsides can we apply the ointment, which is key to treating Faye’s face.” Doreen, looking at the weakened Faye on the bed, was deeply worried.

But she knew what curing the face meant for Faye.

In the days following her disfigurement, Faye had endured much humiliation. Faye lost hope for life, and she couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter living such a life.

“Are you still worried about this at this point?” Bertha said sternly, “Saving Faye’s life is the most important thing. I think that Arabella is not a qualified doctor at all. She doesn’t even have a medical license, how can she treat people? We might have been tricked by her.”

“That can’t be true. There were many people present that day, and everyone was saying that it was Arabella who cured Isolde’s face. Mom, I want to give it a shot, you know, Faye’s current life is like being dead, only if her face recovers, she can be happy. Let’s wait a bit longer, see if Faye’s fever will subside, if not, let Arabella come and see.”

In fact, Doreen had called Arabella several times in the past two days. At first, Arabella patiently explained that the toxins were being expelled and the fever was normal, but later Arabella seemed a bit impatient and even stopped answering the phone.

She was actually angry with Arabella, but for her daughter’s illness, she held back.
