The name sounded so exaggerated, it felt like something straight out of a TV drama."Ms. Robbery posted in her social circle that a young specialist treated her. Apparently, his rehabilitation techniques are exceptional. After just over two weeks of treatment, she finally got pregnant."Olivia stared at her phone screen, unable to believe it.
The Mopius couple had been trying fertility treatments for ten years with no results, and now suddenly they were pregnant after only half a month?
It really did feel like a scripted drama."Is it really that miraculous?"
Mrs. Jamaica Richart's interest was clearly piqued.
"What's the doctor's name?"
"His last name is Bailey, Dr. Bailey."
Olivia scrolled further and saw countless comments underneath, all luxury–circle women recommending Dr. Bailey after Ms. Robbery's post."First, congratulations to Ms. Robbery, also, thank you for the recommendation. My rheumatoid pain had lasted for years, but after receiving Dr. Bailey's rehabilitation treatment, I no longer suffer flare-ups during winter."
"Thanks to Ms. Robbery +1. Six months ago, I was in a car accident and ended up limping. I tried every rehabilitation program and nothing worked. After Dr. Bailey treated me, my leg has been steadily recovering. He said I should be fully functional again in two months."
"I used to suffer from chronic migraines, but ever since seeing Dr. Bailey, the symptoms have significantly improved. I'm on medication now and feeling better every day."These were all wealthy, influential women normally proud and difficult to please, yet right now each one was leaving glowing praise.Olivia's fingers trembled. She suddenly felt light-headed.
Was Dr. Bailey really that skilled?"Mom, everyone in the upper circle keeps praising Dr. Bailey," Olivia murmured, still dazed. "I heard she's amazing with neurological rehabilitation. Six months ago, Ms. William was nearly disabled from her car accident, and now she's almost fully recovered.""Ms. William? The one who attended the charity gala? The one who was limping?"
Mrs. Richart tried to recall, then finally remembered. Olivia nodded."Yes, that's her."A look of genuine shock flashed in Mrs. Richart's eyes."I heard her bones were badly fractured. The doctors said she'd never walk normally again. But she's really recovering?""They said she'll be fully healed in about two months," Olivia replied. She tightened her grip on her phone, thoughts racing.
"But… we need to speak to Ms. William ourselves to be sure. Maybe some of this is exaggerated."Mrs. Richart clasped her prayer beads tightly, excitement rising in her eyes."If this is real… then Jason's legs can they be treated too?"
"I'll contact Ms. William and invite her over," Olivia said immediately.Twenty minutes later, Ms. William arrived.She wore a fitted black dress and looked about thirty-five, but her skin was smooth and firm like someone in her twenties. Although she still walked with a faint limp, her confidence radiated her movements strong, steady, and without any sign of lingering pain.Seeing her like this, Olivia was stunned.After her accident, Ms. William had been emotionally shattered.
Where did this confidence come from?
And with injuries as severe as hers, even with surgical recovery, lingering pain was inevitable.
Yet she walked with strength, almost no limp at all.Was she… truly cured?
"You look stunning today, Ms. William," Olivia said, masking her shock with a polite smile."So do you, Mrs. Richart," Ms. William replied, glowing with confidence.After some small talk, they finally got to the point.
Mrs. Richart sat beside them, equally astonished as she listened."I'm not exaggerating, Dr. Bailey's skills are extraordinary," Ms. William said, patting her leg excitedly. "Look at this. My injury was one of the worst kinds. The doctors told me I might never walk normally again. I thought I was done for. But Dr. Bailey actually helped me recover."Olivia and Mrs. Richart exchanged looks, their eyes brightening with hope."I don't care what it takes," Ms. William said dramatically. "I'm going to send Dr. Bailey a plaque, 'Bringing the Dead Back to Life!' That woman is incredible."After sending Ms. William off, Olivia was practically shaking with excitement."Mom, did you see that? Her leg is almost healed! This Dr. Bailey is the real deal. Does that mean Jason, our son, might actually stand again?"Everyone in Alchimie City knew the story.
The eldest son of the Richart family, Jason had been paralyzed from the waist down after an accident three years ago. Countless treatments, countless hospitals nothing worked. He had been confined to a wheelchair ever since, his personality darkening with time."If there's even a chance, we must try," Mrs. Richart said firmly. But then she suddenly worried. "With Jason's temperament, he definitely won't go to a hospital. He hates them more than anything now.""I'll figure it out," Olivia said.And somehow miraculously, she did.
That morning, she managed to get Jason into the car without resistance.Halley watched the departing vehicle in confusion."Grandma, where are Mom and brother going so early? And why so secretive? They didn't even let me go."
"Your mother said your brother is taking her shopping," Mrs. Richart replied casually.Halley froze.
Shopping?
Jason hadn't willingly gone anywhere crowded since the accident.
Something didn't add up.Mrs. Richart only gave him a mysterious smile.Halley grew even more confused.
Why did it feel like his mother and grandmother were plotting something big?Meanwhile, in the car, Jason sat quietly, watching the scenery outside.
His face was gentle, temperament calm, but there was a distant coldness in his eyes that kept people at arm's length.Realizing the car wasn't headed toward the mall, Jason frowned."Mom, this isn't the way to the mall.""Sweetheart, we're going to a newly opened one today," Olivia replied, forcing a nervous smile.Jason relaxed his brows slightly.
Maybe it had been too long since he'd gone out, he hadn't even heard of a new mall opening.
He said nothing more and turned back to the window, as if shutting himself inside his own world.Seeing him like this made Olivia's heart ache.Before long, the car stopped in front of a hospital.The moment he saw it, Jason's brows tightened sharply.
His expression shifted instantly like a lion jolted awake, ready to unleash."Mom, why are we at a hospital? You know I hate this place more than anything."
