Chapter 944:
Under her careful efforts, Aitana’s breathing steadied, and her eyes fluttered open. Though she still looked weak, she was conscious once more. But deep in Yelena’s mind, a storm brewed as she examined Aitana. Her fainting? It was definitely not a coincidence!
“Yelena, is it her heart? Grandma had a bypass surgery before, and I recall she has been struggling to recover from it,” Austin explained to Yelena.
With a look of hesitation, Yelena faced Austin.
“We’ll discuss this later,” Yelena said to Austin.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Austin acknowledged with a subtle nod.
Interrupting the pause, Aitana said, “No need for secrets. I’ve faced plenty and can handle much more. Speak openly p>
Aitana added firmly, “I’ll be restless all night without knowing the truth p>
After finishing her plea, Aitana’s eyes, clouded with concern, fixed intently on Yelena, anticipating her response.
Yelena glanced at Austin, receiving a gentle nod of encouragement to continue.
Empowered by his support, Yelena said, “Do you recall when you were sick, and I assisted with your treatment p>
Austin certainly did recall. Yet, he wondered why Yelena was bringing it up now.
Suddenly, a realization struck him, shifting his expression. “Does Grandma have the same condition I had p>
Yelena nodded affirmatively. “Precisely. Aitana’s condition is similar to yours, but her age and previous surgery add complexity. She needs a unique treatment plan starting with a special heart medication, available only in limited supply from an exclusive pharmaceutical company, and it’s quite expensive p>
Determined, Austin replied, “Regardless of the difficulty, I’ll obtain that medication for Grandma p>
Once again, Aitana said, “There’s no need to go after any heart medication for me. At my age, I am at peace with the time I have left. Don’t go to such lengths p>

Disagreeing internally with Aitana’s acceptance of her fate, Austin reflected. The elderly often viewed their future dimly. Yet, they hadn’t reached the end; there was no reason to stop fighting. “Grandma, I promise to take care of everything p>
“Take it easy, Aitana; we’re handling everything,” Yelena reassured her.
Exhausted, Aitana drifted back to sleep shortly after.
Turning to Jarrod, Yelena instructed, “Keep my identity a secret to facilitate further inquiries. Just say you were the one who saved Aitana.” Jarrod, who was passionate about medicine, held deep admiration for Yelena due to her exceptional medical expertise. Naturally, he was happy to comply.
“I understand p>
As soon as they stepped out, the crowd surrounded them, asking, “How is Aitana p>
Jarrod reassured them. “No need to worry, everyone. Mrs. Barton just had a fainting spell from too much excitement. It’s nothing serious.” The crowd visibly relaxed at his words.
Austin and Yelena observed the group, searching for any hint of suspicion in their demeanor. Yet, the crowd appeared genuinely relieved, showing no signs of deceit. This absence of any apparent deceit was troubling—it might mean that the real threat was still concealed within the shadows.
However, if the culprit was indeed among these people, it only meant they were exceptionally good at hiding.
“Jarrod, we appreciate your efforts.” Carly squinted towards Yelena and questioned, “Hold on, didn’t Yelena go in with you? Was she assisting p>
Feigning innocence, Yelena responded, “I was there to hold her hand, offering my support. That counts as helping, right?” Carly rolled her eyes at Yelena’s response.
