At the villa, the doctor gave Old Madam Barker an injection and her complexion finally eased.
Aunt Julia stepped forward and carefully pulled the blanket over the old lady before walking out of the room with the doctor.
As they walked, she asked, "Doctor, the old lady vomited blood twice in a row today and fell into a coma. Is her condition particularly serious right now?"
The doctor's face was solemn. "If I'm being honest with you, things don't look optimistic. Her health was never good, to begin with, and she has a lot on her mind too. Not even God can help if she can't let go of the depressing feelings within her heart!"
Aunt Julia immediately covered her lips with both hands. She asked in a choking voice, "In that case...is there any other way?"
"I can only do my best."
Following that assurance, the doctor handed the prescribed medicine to Aunt Julia. "As usual, take them on time and follow the amount stated."
