Over at the Moone residence, a middle–aged woman kneeled before Margaret, sobbing uncontrollably. Her face was streaked with tears and mucus.
Str. Moon, please, I’m begging you! Please let me know how you recovered! Did you find a good doctor? Or did your family go somewhere to pray?
“My husband is only 50 years old, and he’s about to pass soon. How are the kids and I supposed to live without him? Toth my kids are still unmarried!” she led
Audrey stood beside her, sighing at the scene.
“Catherine, please get up. Kneeling won’t help,” Margaret said helplessly.
Over the past few days, Margaret had been going out and was spotted by the neighbors. Word eventually spread to the Wam family Josh William’s wife, Catherine Myers, paid the visit to legde a solution. She was helpless and desperate to find a way to heal her husband
Margaret understood her desperation–prople tried everything then faced with serious illness.
Catherine looked at Margaret tearfully and said, “Mrs. Mone, please think carefully. Did you take medicine from a specific doctor? Or go somewhere to pray?
Margaret, who was soft–hearted, hesitated about helping the William family Beside her, Audrey, noticing Margaret’s hesitation, held her breath and waited silently.
After a while, Margaret lowered het head and said seriously, “Catherine, I did try something But it’s risky. If you tried, you might end up harming Josh instead.
She trailed off, uncertain if she should continue.
“It doesn’t matter! Just tell me what you did. If something happens to Josh, I definitely won’t blame you–I won’t
I blame anyone! Even the doctors said he doesn’t have much time left. If I do nothing, he’ll pass away in a few days! So, Margaret, beg you to tell me what to do! Please!” Catherine cried.
Audery quickly added, “Mrs. Moone, I’ll vouch for you. If Catherine tres to blame you in the future, I’ll testify on your behalf. So if you have any solutions, please just tell her.” |
Audrey had always been kind–hearted.
A noise at the door interrupted Margaret, who was about to speak. Three of them turned their heach and saw Demi stepping into the house while carrying a saltcase.
“Demi, you’re back! Margaretexclaimed, happily going over to greet her granddaughter.
Feeling awkward, Catherine quickly wiped her tears and stood up.
“Demi, welcome back,” Audrey and Catherine greeted
“HI, Mrs. William, Mrs. Blanton,” Demireplied politely
She had already caught most of their comeration with her keen hearing just now.
“Demi, come with me. I need to talk to you,” Margaret said, pulling het tothe middle room.
Demi could guess what Margaret wanted to discuss. Demi was willing to help others, but it could get complicated afterward
Once word spread, countless people might show up at their door. Aside from whether she could treat all the patients, the main concern was that she did not have a medical license. Hence, she needed to figure this
“Deni, did you know Mr. William has the same condition I had?” Margaret asked after closing the door and glancing outside the window.
Demi nodded.
Margaret sighed. “Mrs William has been crying and begging me for help. The William family in our neighbor, and they’ve helped us several times before. But I’m worried that…
Demi patiently waited for Margaret to sort out her thoughts.
“I’m worried that if you can’t cure him, you might end up getting sued,” Margaret continued, he expression clouded with worry.
