Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 87 Gia, Help

Chapter 87 Gia, Help

In her office, Gianna was discussing with Lloyd when to start the physical education classes.

The progress of Class 18 had surpassed Gianna's expectations. In just a week, they had already begun learning the first-year high school curriculum.

Natalya learned even faster. Because of her poor academic performance, Gianna had been giving her one-on-one tutoring, and now she was ready to move on to studying the second-year curriculum. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, Gianna decided to have Natalya study the first-year curriculum with the rest of her class. From then on, she wouldn't need additional private tutoring.

The students in Class 18 were very smart. While they could be playful and noisy sometimes, when they set their mind on something, they were even more dedicated and hardworking than those talented students.

Gianna planned to add physical education classes into their curriculum schedule in advance, but surprisingly, these students all requested not to have physical education classes because, with less than three months left from SAT, they wanted to try their best to get into university.

They weren't aiming for prestigious universities; they would be satisfied if they can go to an ordinary one.

They thought that physical education classes would waste their time and asked to skip these classes. But Gianna declined their request.

Scores were crucial, and health was just as important. Being in good health was necessary for taking exams. If they were to faint on the day when they took the SAT exam due to poor health, all

their hard work would be in vain.

Seeing her determination, the students stopped arguing.

"Today is Wednesday. We'll schedule the first class in the afternoon and the last class on Friday morning for physical education. We'll stick with this arrangement for the next two weeks, and then I'll make adjustments if necessary," Gianna finalized the time for the physical education classes and said to Lloyd.

Lloyd nodded and said, "I have no opinions."

Gianna then glanced at his legs and asked, "Are you sure you won't need the wheelchair in the future?"

When Lloyd had come over earlier, he had planned to teach the class while imposing as a physically challenged person. However, he had now openly declared his legs were healed and no longer needed a wheelchair when he came to the school.

Gianna didn't know who Lloyd really was, but she suspected that pretending to be disabled for years indicated his influential background. Nonetheless, she wondered whether his decision to declare that his legs were healed at this particular time was reasonable.

After all, Lloyd had a sister. She had been poisoned with IX Poison because of him before. Even though Gianna had already removed the poison from her body, they didn't know whether Lloyd's enemies would still target Taryn.

She actually quite liked Taryn, so deep down, she didn't want anything happen to Taryn.

Perhaps sensing her concerns, Lloyd said softly, "Don't worry, I have everything sorted out."

Gianna nodded and didn't ask further about it.

Lloyd pursed his lips and continued in a low voice, "Gia, my legs should not have been 'healed' at this point."

Gianna looked at him and listened.

"The Geller family is in a mess, and so is the Finley family. If my legs were not getting better now...the Finley family would fall apart." Lloyd said in a calm voice, but Gianna noticed his cold eyes.

"I see."

After a brief pause, Gianna raised her head and said seriously, "Whatever you plan to do, just make sure it doesn't involve my family. Mr. Finley, I want you to know that our engagement isn't based on love, and we won't actually get married in the future."

Lloyd's lips tightened for a moment. After a pause, he said in a husky voice, "I understand."

He had known from the beginning that Gianna agreed to get engaged with him not because she loved him.

She wanted something from him.

And he thought the same.

Perhaps because she bore a striking resemblance to that child, or maybe because her mother was Nora, the last person to contact the medicine. Neither of them had affection for each other.

"But since we're already engaged, we're in the same boat. If you need help, and it's within my reach, I'll be there for you. Of course, if I need a favor, I expect you to help me too," Gianna added.

Lloyd said with a smile, "Deal."

After that, they both turned silent.

Suddenly, Gianna's phone chimed, and she glanced at the screen and picked up the phone, "Hello, Old Mrs. Levine."

It was Natalya's grandmother, Old Mrs. Levine, calling.

In the hospital, Old Mrs. Levine had asked for her phone number before she left.

"Hey, Gia, are you busy right now?" Old Mrs. Levine asked in a friendly tone.

Over the past few days, she had invited Gianna for dinner several times, but Gianna was too busy to make it.

The entire Class 18 was required to live in dorms, so Natalya could only return home on weekends. At times when she felt bored, she would call Gianna and chat with her.

Gianna didn't mind it and patiently engaged in these conversations, and as a result, they had grown closer.

"I'm not busy. What's up, Old Mrs. Levine?" Gianna asked.

"I am wondering if you have time for medical consultation. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you, so I'm calling to ask you about it first," Old Mrs. Levine explained.

"Are you feeling under the weather?" Gianna paused. The herbal pills she had given to Old Mrs. Levine were prepared by herself earlier. While these pills might not make her as energetic as a young person, they could definitely improve her health. So she would be healthier compared to people of her age.

"No, it's not about me," Old Mrs. Levine explained, "I'm asking for one of my good friends, and we've been friends for over fifty years. Her granddaughter's face is also injured. You treated her recently, right? But ever since she started taking the medication you prescribed, she's been having a persistent fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Her condition has worsened. My friend mentioned that she tried calling you several times, but you didn't pick up. Since I know you, she asked me to give you a call and see if you could come over to check on her granddaughter."

Gianna furrowed her brows and asked, "Are you sure they have the right person? The only patient I've treated recently is you."

Old Mrs. Levine was shocked for a moment. She turned to Old Mrs. Judd by her side and asked, "Are you certain it's Ms. Geller that you are looking for?"

Old Mrs. Judd had a bad feeling as she responded, "Absolutely certain. It's Ms. Geller. I've met her before. There won't be a mistake, Riya. What's going on?"

Old Mrs. Levine didn't answer her question. She simply shook her head and continued, "Gia, this situation seems a bit odd. Could you come over and take a look? The girl is in danger."

"Sure thing! Let me wrap up what I'm doing here, and I'll be there later."

Just as Gianna was about to hang up, she heard someone shouting from the other end, "Mom! Mom! Tell the driver to start the car and drive us to the hospital. Lilian's having seizures. Hurry!"

The voice sounded urgent, and there was crying.

Old Mrs. Levine who was about to end the call implored Gianna, "Gia, could you come over right away? It's an emergency. I'm pleading with you."

Even without seeing the patient, Gianna could still sense from her voice that the situation on the other end was far from good.

She nodded and said, "First, unbutton the patient's clothes, then help her lie on her side to make sure she could breathe. I'll be there soon... Right, please send me the address."

After ending the call, Gianna received the address sent by Old Mrs. Levine. She stood up, turned to Lloyd, and asked, "Mr. Finley, could you possibly drive me to this place?"

She showed Lloyd the address on her phone, for she wasn't familiar with the roads in Rheinsville City.

She figured that Lloyd, who traveled a lot, would know where it was.

"Of course, I'll take you there." Lloyd was right by Gianna's side, so he had overheard her conversation. He immediately grabbed her hand and led her out.

Her hand held by Lloyd, Gianna paused for a moment. However, she understood that Lloyd was also in a hurry, so she didn't say anything.
