Chapter 842

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me

Immediately, Arielle discerned that Cornelius’ soothing pills were unlike the ones sold on markets. The
soothing pills he’d created could also protect the cardiovascular system,

In a dire situation like this, it stabilized the girl’s body and temporarily saved her life.

However, these pills were sure to come at a hefty cost. A single glance at the couple’s shabby clothing
informed Arielle that they must not be able to afford its price.

Arielle took her ATM card out of her pocket. She decided to pay for the couple as well.

“How did she get like this? Wasn’t she resting at home after her heart surgery? She shouldn’t be
convulsing like this. Did she exert herself?” Cornellus asked the couple.

The woman was crying hysterically. Amidst her sobs, she could barely muster a coherent reply.

Her husband, who was much calmer, replied on her behalf, “Dr. Mill, thank you for your generosity.
After the free surgery your sister performed on Jennie, she has been resting at home. We wouldn’t
even let her leave the bed! She started convulsing out of the blue.”

Grimly, Cornelius checked Jennie’s pulse.

After a few seconds, Cornelius said, “Judging from her condition earlier, she must be suffering from a
severe allergy reaction. I asked the hospital to run an allergy test before her heart surgery. It turns out
that she’s allergic to penicillin and honey. Was she exposed to these two substances?”

Jennie’s father shook his head. “We are aware of her penicillin allergy. We have always made sure that
she avoids that. However, there are no bees near our house. She hasn’t even left her room.”



“That’s strange…” Cornelius frowned, deep in thought. “To give her the right treatment, we need to
identify the allergen before her symptoms arise again. Think again. Have you missed out on
something? Maybe, a guest dropped by your house recently. We can’t dismiss the possibility that a
guest might have brought in a bee by accident.”

Yet, the couple shook their heads again. “There shouldn’t be any guests. Every day, we work until
dawn. Save for your occasional visits to check on Jennie; no one will visit such a shabby place like
ours.”

All of a sudden, Cornelius noticed a number of red welts scattered across Jennie’s arm.

“These are allergy symptoms.” He pointed at the welts. “Try to recall if something happened to her
within these two days.”

Promptly, Jennie roused from her unconsciousness.

“Jennie! Were there any guests recently? Did a bee sting you?” her father cried out.

Sluggishly, Jennie shook her head as she tried to push herself upright. To her surprise, she could not
move her legs.

“It’s best if we send her to the hospital. The hospital can run a full medical check-up,” Cornelius said
solemnly.

“The hospital…” An awkward look crossed the couple’s faces.

Before they could reply, Jennie spoke up. “Dr. Mill, we can’t afford the hospital fees. Why don’t you give
me a prescription? I don’t want to burden my parents any further.”

Her daughter’s selfless words caused the woman to burst into tears again.



I am more than willing to pay for your hospital fees. How could money be more important than your
life?* Cornelius retorted.

“Dr. MIII, we owe you too much. We can’t keep leeching off your generosity. After all, you were the one
who paid for Jennie’s heart surgery. We can’t bear to accept any more of your help,” the woman said
with teary eyes.

“This looks like a tick allergy,” a feminine voice stated from behind.
