“Will I be able to get pregnant in the future? Or, can your treatment help me return to my previous state?” Ashley felt she had lowered her standards, hoping Gina could answer her satisfactorily.
Gina checked Ashley’s pulse. “Whether you can or not depends on your recovery. I’ll prescribe you some medicine first,” Gina said, “But you’ll need to pay for the medication upfront,” she continued.
“Medication costs, too?” Harry felt like Gina was playing them. He couldn’t help but interject, “Isn’t It the 100 million dollars supposed to cover everything. including medication?” ‘Gina seemed a bit too greedy, didn’t she?” Harry thought..
Gina said calmly, “Some people are all inclusive, while others are not. What? Mr. Harry, can’t bear to spend money to buy medicine for your daughter?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Harry immediately retorted, becoming agitated. He cherished Ashley so much; how could he be unwilling to spend money on her? The reason was he didn’t want Gina to profit from it
“Then pay up,” Gina said, extending her hand.
“How much?” Harry asked, his face grim.
“100 million dollars, Gina replied.
Harry felt like he was about to cough up blood. Gabriel added insult to injury with a smirk. “Harry, if you’re short on cash, I can lend you the 100 million
dollars first
Harry’s expression darkened even further. “No need,” he said, then wrote a check directly to Gina,
After receiving the check, Gina wrote out the prescription. She then called Dylan to prepare the herbs. Since Cathy was injured and unable to do so, she had to rely on Dylan, another person she trusted.
“Go home and rest. The herbs will be delivered to you,” Gina said.
“I can go home now? Ashley asked, somewhat incredulous. It hadn’t even been half an hour since they arrived, and they had gone through all the trouble of navigating from the airport to here. There was a faster route, so why did Gina have them take the long way around?
Ashley couldn’t help but ask, “Are you telling the truth? Did you deliberately lead us to detour to play a prank on us?”
“I’m not that bored. I just wanted to avoid anyone following you,” Gina explained. After all, her appearance on the anonymous website had caused quite a stir. Some people would try to track her down through Harry and Ashley. She didn’t want her true identity exposed.
Ashley didn’t believe it, but she was exhausted and just wanted to go home to rest. “Dad, I’m tired, Let’s go home,” she said, reaching out. Harry Immediately took Ashley’s hand. “Okay,” he said. Harry quickly led Ashley away.
Gina then turned to Gabriel, who had followed them for quite some time. “Don’t you have a meeting at the company? Why are you here?” Gina asked.
Gabriel replied, “The meeting onded early, and there’s no business to attend to for now, so I came to accompany you.” In truth, Gabriel was also a bit worried. Even though he know Gina wouldn’t be bullied, he still wanted to stand by her if Harry mistreated her.
“But I’m not done yet,” Gina said. Just then, Dylan called again. “Let me take this call,” she said.
“Gina, the results of the research on the comb you asked me to look into for over a week…” Dylan hesitated as he organized his words. “One of the beeth on the comb has a small hole, and when you comb your hair, a small amount of liquid comes out. We analyzed the liquid, but its components are unclear…” Even though the components were unclear, Gina and Dylan were sure it wasn’t anything good.
“if we continue to research it, there might not be any results..” Dylan paused. “The research team asked me to apologize on their behalf. They couldn’t figure out the details due to their limited medical expertise.”
Gina responded calmly, “No need to apologize, I understand. I go to the laboratory and take a look.”

INU, 13 JUN
“Alright,” Dylan said.
Hanging up the phone, Gabriel asked Gina, “Are you going to the laboratory now?”
56%
Gina nodded. “After all, it’s related to Mrs. Emily’s real cause of death,” she said. Subconsciously, Gina wanted to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. wanting to help Gabriel alleviate hi worries.
Gabriel was deeply moved. “Gina, thank you for always working hard for my mother’s sake,” he said.
“You’re my beloved, so it’s only right for me to help you,” Gina said earnestly.
Gabriel was pleased. He leaned down and kissed Gina on the cheek. “I’ll accompany you. Do you need to conduct experiments? Can I assist you?”
Gina thought for a moment. “Well, then, maybe just tidying up would be helpful. I don’t think Mr. Jackson is particularly skilled at being an assistant.”
Gabriel agreed that he was not exceptionally skilled in medical matters. “Helping with tidying up should be fine.” He tightly held Gina’s hand.
The two arrived at Prover Hospital. Gina wore a professional protective suit and goggles, fully dressed and prepared before entering the laboratory. Gabriel also wanted to accompany her, similarly equipped, but to avoid disturbing Gina’s research, he quietly sat aside.
An hour later, Gina was concerned that Gabriel might feel too hot and uncomfortable in the protective gear, mainly since he wasn’t accustomed to suddenly wearing such heavy equipment. She glanced at him and said, “Why don’t you go outside and get some fresh air? Also, take care of the trash. You can remove the suit outside, but keep the gloves on when handling the garbage.”
“Alright.” Gabriel felt a bit stifled. He would want to step outside for fresh air and return, taking the medical waste with him as instructed. After removing the protective suit outside, he took a deep breath and noticed the strong scent of disinfectant in the hospital. Well, it seemed the air outside wasn’t much fresher either. Gabriel carried the medical waste and left.
In the hallway, Cathy bumped into Gabriel Meeting face to face, Cathy felt awkward and greeted him, “Mr. Jackson,”
Gabriel glanced at Cathy, responding in a chilly tone, “Yes.”
Having heard from Dylan that Gina was busy at the hospital, Cathy wanted to offer her help. She felt deeply grateful to Gina for her intervention, realizing that without her, she might never have received the apology from Harry and Ashley, Cathy was grateful and sought an opportunity to repay Gina’s kindness however she could. However, since Dylan didn’t specify Gina’s location before getting busy, Cathy hesitated to disturb her and decided to search independently. To her surprise, she bumped into Gabriel along the hallway.
“Mr. Jackson!” Cathy gathered her courage and called out to Gabriel. “Where is Miss Miller right now?”
Gabriel paused in his steps, his tone calm. “What do you need?”
