Serve No One This Life

Chapter 375 As Fate Would Have It

Fanny and Christopher were rushing to the hospital when Angela also received a call from Joseph.

Joseph asked her to treat Zacharias and stabilize his condition. Without hesitation, she promptly refused. The last time I treated Zacharias, he accused me of mistreating Fanny. Why should I bother treating someone who will only cause me trouble? Furthermore, despite only treating Zacharias twice since his arrival in the capital, she was well aware of his current condition. Even if she chose not to go, his life could still be sustained for the time being.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Joseph informed Fanny that she could visit. He observed that Zacharias was not faring well. He considered having Angela come to attend to Zacharias’s needs. Surprisingly, Angela flatly refused. Not only did Angela decisively decline, but she also did not offer any explanation. As he was about to inquire further, he heard the dial tone on the phone. “Angela!” Joseph’s expression immediately darkened. He knew Angela couldn’t possibly have good intentions. Despite agreeing to treat Zacharias before, she was now reneging on her word, which greatly displeased him. At that moment, Joseph had already forgotten that without Angela, Zacharias might have lost his life long ago. With a look of disdain in his eyes, Joseph paced restlessly before finally gritting his teeth and entering Zacharias’s ward.

Upon noticing Joseph’s solemn expression, Zacharias made a knowing remark. “She turned you down, didn’t she?”

“You’re right. She hung up on me outright!” Joseph replied, feeling disheartened and annoyed.

However, Zacharias calmly responded. “It’s for the best.

Glancing at Zacharias, Joseph sighed and decided not to mention Angela any further. “Fanny will be visiting later, and if she sees you looking so frail, she will undoubtedly worry,” Joseph remarked as he

approached and sat beside Zacharias’s bedside. Finally able to take a moment to rest, Joseph sat down, alleviating his fatigue.

Initially indifferent, Zacharias furrowed his brow upon hearing that Fanny would be concerned. Joseph believed Zacharias was furrowing his brow to prevent Fanny from worrying, but only Zacharias knew the actual reason behind his furrowed brow. He was frowning because he couldn’t bear the thought of Fanny worrying about him. Even before arriving in the Northland, he had realized that despite his illness, he typically made sound decisions in most matters, except when it concerned their beloved sister, Fanny. His judgment would falter when it concerned her. During his near–death experience, he had a moment of clarity and saw many things. As a result, he believed his mind was now clear, and he wouldn’t make the same mistakes again. Yet, just one visit from Fanny, and he had once again hurt Angela with his words. Subsequently, he acknowledged his error, but he was powerless to resist. He thought to himself, this must be fate as it has it. Although I don’t comprehend why all this is happening. I can’t help but follow the will of destiny to see

what awaits me in the end.

As he contemplated, there was a knock on the hospital room door. Not only Fanny entered, but also Christopher. Despite Christopher wearing a mask, Joseph and Zacharias recognized his voice as soon as he spoke.

After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere became quite cheerful.

Fanny recalled that she was able to attend Northland Medical University because of Zacharias’s connections with the people in Riverdon. Fanny expressed her gratitude and concern.

Upon hearing Fanny’s words of concern, Zacharias nodded reassuringly. “Fanny, don’t worry. I will protect

you.”

Touched by Zacharias’s words, Fanny’s eyes welled up with tears as she hugged him to express her gratitude.

Zacharias gently patted her to comfort her. But nobody knew that in Zacharias’s heart, there was a cold indifference as he watched this loving scene before him.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zacharias, Fanny instructed him to take care of himself and then left the hospital room with Joseph.

Christopher also followed but kept his distance from the siblings to give them space to talk.

“Joseph, how is Mom doing?” As soon as Fanny left the ward, she thought of Scarlet and felt sorrowful.

Joseph replied, “Mom has shown signs of waking up. The doctor said we need to stimulate her more”

“Stimulate?” Fanny murmured, repeating it once more, then excitedly asked Joseph. Joseph, how can we stimulate Mom to wake up?”

you

Joseph shook his head. T’m not sure, but the doctor said that Mom only showed signs of waking up after

left last time.” It was precisely because the doctor said this that Joseph was eager for Fanny to come back to the hospital and try again. If Scarlet could wake up and recover from the hospital, he wouldn’t have to be so confined by its restrictions. I am working overtime almost to the point of going crazy.

Fanny lowered her eyes, recalling the words she had said to Scarlet when she visited him, and she pondered in her heart. Joseph, don’t worry, I will do my best to wake our mother up!” As she became excited, she coughed harshly twice, which made Joseph nervous. After coughing for a while, Fanny finally recovered, but her face had become much paler.

Christopher, who had been following the two of them a few steps behind, quickly stepped forward and carefully supported her. “Fanny? What’s wrong?”

Fanny had always been in poor health, a fact known to all. In Riverdon, Fanny could still recuperate for a long time, but after coming to the Northland, she didn’t even have the conditions to recover.

“I’m fine. Just feeling a bit tight in the chest. Fanny said weakly, her face pale and drained.

As soon as they heard this, Christopher and Joseph became nervous.

“Isn’t this serious? Feeling tight in the chest! Let’s not see Mother first. Let’s go for a check–up. Joseph decisively decided that Fanny should go for a check–up first. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

But Fanny resolutely refused, her face still pale. “Joseph, a check–up might take a lot of time. I’d rather go see our mother first.” Her voice was weak, and her appearance was pitiful. Despite Joseph’s reluctance in his heart, he ultimately agreed.

“I’ll accompany you. I want to make sure your body can hold up.” Joseph said.

Christopher quickly added. “Fanny, I’ll accompany you as well.”

Christopher and Joseph accompanied Fanny into Scarlet’s ward, but neither of them paid much attention to Scarlet lying on the bed. Instead, they were constantly watching Fanny’s condition.

Even Evic appeared concerned and worried when she saw Fanny. “Miss Fanny, what’s wrong?” Fanny weakly smiled. I’m fine. You go out. I’ll talk to Mom for a while.”

Free Come

Evie looked at the two people beside Fanny. She nodded and left. After Evie left. Fanny sat down by Scarlet’s bedside with the help of the two. After sitting down, she relaxed and said, “See, I really am fine. You two go out.

Joseph hesitated. “Fanny, your face looks so bad. I am worried.”

Christopher also wanted to say something, but Fanny suddenly had a violent cough, which startled the two into wanting to take her for a check–up immediately.

But Fanny stubbornly refused. “Joseph. Christopher, let me talk to Mom for a while.” Fanny weakly requested and then promised. “Tll listen to you and go for a check–up later. Fanny was adept at playing on people’s sympathies. Without needing to say much more, Christopher and Joseph agreed, unable to bear seeing her in distress.

Once the two men had left the ward, they remained concerned about Fanny, waiting anxiously on opposite sides.

Meanwhile, inside the ward, Fanny tearfully shared her ordeal with Scarlet.
