Chapter 964:
Yelena turned to Aanya with a serene expression. “Do you truly understand your mother’s medical condition? These pills have their place, but they aren’t a miracle solution. Misdiagnosing and incorrect medication use can lead to even more severe consequences p>
Panic and helplessness flickered in Aanya’s eyes as she raised her head to meet Yelena’s steady gaze. “The truth is, I’m not certain about the exact nature of her illness. The doctor mentioned a serious heart condition and advised us to start such medication immediately p>
Her voice faltered, tears nearly breaching her eyes.
Yelena exchanged a glance with Austin, who caught on without a word.
Austin confronted Aanya. “I understand your situation. However, what I obtained today aren’t those pills you need at all p>
“They’re not? Then why did they say p>
In her distress, Aanya rushed her words.
A stern look crossed Austin’s face as he scrutinized Aanya. “Who exactly are ‘they p>
Aanya nervously shifted her gaze, mentally cursing her quick slip into the trap Austin had laid.
After all, she had been an actress.
She remembered boasting to Leonel about her acting skills, yet it seemed her past actions were quickly catching up with her. “I’m not making any sense. My thoughts are scattered; I can’t focus p>
“It’s alright,” Yelena reassured her. “If your mother truly suffers from heart issues, I know Dr. Curran Williams, a leading expert in the field. He’s based at a hospital in Kheley. I’ll call him, and he’ll know how to proceed p>
In fact, Aanya’s mother was perfectly healthy, without a trace of heart disease. Aanya knew she couldn’t allow Yelena to make that call, or her deception would unravel.
“Hello, Dr. Williams, this is Yelena. A friend’s mother is reportedly suffering from a heart condition, but we need clarity on her case. Could you arrange a detailed examination to see what the problem is p>

Aanya’s eyes shot open, her ability to react momentarily stalled.
Damn, why had Yelena made that call without consulting her?
At that moment, fleeing seemed her only option.
Curran responded over the phone, “I get it, Yelena. There are numerous forms of heart disease, and each requires different treatment. There simply isn’t a universal solution. I’ll coordinate with the hospital to schedule an exhaustive evaluation to properly identify the problem and the needed treatment p>
“Thank you, Dr. Williams.” Yelena paused, glancing at Aanya, and then suggested, “Perhaps you could explain the situation to Dr. Williams yourself p>
“I…” Aanya was speechless, taken aback by Yelena’s swift action to contact a doctor. With her mother perfectly healthy, how could she maintain her deception?
Her gaze flicked around the room until she grasped at an explanation. Aanya explained, “Although my mother has always been frail, she’s never had heart issues before. This illness struck out of nowhere, and the doctor was vague, only pressing me to secure some heart-protecting pills immediately p>
Yelena and Austin shared a skeptical look, their suspicions of a scam deepening.
They felt that anyone genuinely concerned about their family would gather documents or photos about the illness, even without medical knowledge, to make sure they got the right advice.
“Therefore, it’s even more imperative that I don’t hand over any such pills to you,” Austin said, pausing before adding, “not that we possess any to begin with p>
