Chapter 1009: 283: Is Rachel Barton the killer?! A direct slap in the face_2

What has happened to the Thompson Clan?

The youngest granddaughter was lying on a sickbed, her life hanging by a thread.

And now even Mrs. Thompson was lying on the operating table...

How are they going to get through the days to come?

Just when one wave settled, another rose,

Mandel Thompson turned to the doctor nearby, "Doctor, if there's a chance to save my grandmother, no matter the cost, we are willing to pay!"

The doctor shook his head, his eyes full of regret, "Mrs. Thompson is old. She had undergone major surgery in the past. Rescuing her now will not only be meaningless but will also exacerbate the condition!" He paused and continued, "It's not easy for her to hang on, she must have unfulfilled wishes! You as her family should try to fulfill her wishes as soon as possible."

Unfulfilled wishes.

Mandel Thompson looked up at Mrs. Thompson on the bed, his eyes turning red.

He knew.

Mrs. Thompson's unfulfilled wish definitely had to do with Viola Thompson.

Mandel Thompson took a deep breath, gazed for a moment, and then asked, "Are we really out of options?"

The doctor shook his head.

He added, "You should prepare yourselves emotionally. Given her current condition, there's a chance she might stop breathing at any moment."

Stop breathing.

Before, Mandel Thompson thought this phrase was far from his reality.

But now.

The two people he loved the most were under the threat of these four words.

"Thank you, doctor."

"Mr. Mandel Thompson, correct?" a police officer asked in a lowered voice as he approached him.

"Yes." Mandel Thompson looked up.

The policeman continued, "You are the eldest grandson of Mrs. Sally Bennett?"

"Yes." Mandel Thompson nodded.

The policeman looked at Mandel Thompson, "Please come with me to make a statement. Also, the Good Samaritan who brought the elderly lady to the hospital is still here. She even paid for the medical expenses. As family members, you should at least express gratitude. You should not discourage acts of kindness."

"Absolutely."

Mandel Thompson followed the officer.

After making the statement, he followed the officer to the hospital's waiting area.

The waiting room was crowded.

The noise was loud.

"Miss Astir."

The police officer led Mandel Thompson to a young girl in a blue down jacket and stopped there.

Upon hearing him, the young girl stood up from her blue plastic chair.

"Officer Zhou, how are you."

"Hello," Officer Zhou continued, "Let me introduce you. This is the eldest grandson of the elderly lady you assisted."

Then Officer Zhou looked at the young girl, "Mr. Thompson, this is Miss Isla Astir who was the first to bring the old lady to the hospital."

Mandel Thompson reached out to Isla Astir, "Thank you for taking my grandmother to the hospital. My name is Mandel Thompson."

"It was my pleasure."

Mandel Thompson continued, "How much was the medical bill you paid? I'll transfer the money to you."

Isla Astir responded, "It was a total of 6000."

Mandel Thompson brought out his cellphone, "What's your account number?"

Isla Astir took out her phone and displayed a payment code, "You can just scan it."

Mandel Thompson promptly transferred 7000.

After hearing the notification sound for the transfer, Isla Astir looked up at Mandel Thompson, furrowing her eyebrows slightly.

Why would he overpay by 1000?

Fearing that Isla Astir might misunderstand, Mandel Thompson quickly explained, "Miss Astir, don't get me wrong. You took the trouble to get my grandmother to the hospital, which not only held up your work but also took up your time. Consider this extra thousand as compensation for your lost time and effort."

His words were quite pleasant. Isla Astir responded, "It's fine. I happened to be off today. I believe that anyone, encountering such a situation, wouldn't just stand by. After all, we all grow old one day. If I had ignored it today, in many years, the one lying in the snow could have been me."

At this point, Isla Astir paused, then looked at Mandel Thompson, "Though I don't exactly understand what has happened, I still need to say this. The elderly are already at such an advanced age. As children and grandchildren, you should fulfill your obligations to take care of the elderly, and not leave the elders to go out alone in a snowstorm! Not to mention an old person, even a young person would find it hard to get up after a fall in such conditions! What you did was utterly irresponsibly towards the elderly!"

By the end, Isla Astir was somewhat angry. She really couldn't stand the sight of unfilial children.

Most of the time.
