Chapter 25 Make Something Out of Nothing
At the Geller's villa.
Alisa had just come back from school and was in a very good mood.
As soon as she entered, she ran to Brenna and handed her an examination paper. "Grandma, the result of the practice test is out. I got sixth place in my school and twentieth in Rheinsville City. Our teacher said it should be no problem for me to get into Sulley University."
"Really?" Brenna took the examination paper and looked at the score. She couldn't stop smiling. "That's great! Our family finally has the first Sulley University student."
Alisa smiled softly. "I will work harder and strive to become the top scorer in Rheinsville City."
"Good! You are indeed my granddaughter, and you should have this kind of determination!" Brenna praised.
At this moment, the maid walked over and said, "Madam, Mr. Finley and Mr. Garcia have arrived."
Brenna's face changed. "They must be here for the engagement. Tomorrow is the scheduled day, what should we do? We haven't settled things with Gianna yet."
Alisa pursed her lips and whispered, "Grandma, don't worry for now. The engagement is not until tomorrow, and tonight is auntie Libby's birthday. We still have a chance."
"OK." Brenna adjusted her expression and then said to the nanny, "Please bring them in."
Soon, the nanny brought in Lloyd and his companion.
Lloyd was still in a wheelchair, and Murray pushed him.
Irvin was a rich second generation and stood idly by.
Brenna glanced at them, with a hint of imperceptible disdain in her eyes, but she smiled and asked, "I wonder why Mr. Finley came here today. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I came here today to thank Ms. Alisa for saving my sister's life," Lloyd's tone was gentler than usual.
Both Brenna and Alisa were stunned and looked at each other, not sure what was going on.
Brenna wisely remained silent.
Alisa also didn't speak, pursing her lips and considering what to do.
Seeing that Alisa didn't speak, Irvin thought she didn't want to reveal the matter, so he said, "Ms. Alisa, you don't have to feel any pressure. We just came here today to thank you. As for your treatment of Taryn, we won't let it leak out."
Alisa finally realized they were talking about the girl they met at the entrance of the shopping mall, Lloyd's sister.
However, Taryn's sister was seriously ill. Could it be that Gianna stumbled upon a cure for her disease?
Before Alisa could say anything, Lloyd turned his head and gave Murray a look.
Murray immediately took out the gifts he had prepared and said, "We heard Ms. Alisa is studying medicine with Aidan. So we specially prepared some medicinal herbs, including thousand-year-old ganoderma, hundred-year-old ginseng, and other rare medicinal herbs..."
Murray hadn't finished speaking yet when Alisa's eyes lit up.
Oh my god!
These are all medicinal herbs that money cannot buy!
And the quantity is extremely limited. One less each is a big loss.
She didn't expect Lloyd to be so generous and give them all to her.
No, something's not right!
It's not Lloyd who's generous, it's Damian!
Taryn's sister is the most beloved granddaughter of Damian!
"This is a check for 10 thousand dollars," Murray took out a check and handed it to Alisa. "If Ms. Alisa has any other needs, feel free to tell us. We will try our best to fulfill your wishes."
Alisa looked at the check and those precious medicinal herbs in her hands, completely stunned.
After a moment of daze, she smiled and said, "Aidan often taught me that a doctor should have a compassionate heart, and it is our duty to cure illnesses and save lives. Thanks, but I won't accept this check."
As soon as she finished speaking, Brenna suddenly stood up and shouted, "Alisa!"
Did she know what she was doing?
This was a check for 10 thousand dollars!
It could help to sustain themselves for a while.
Alisa turned her head and gave Brenna a reassuring look.
She turned back and continued, "As for those medicinal materials, can Mr. Finley give us a price to buy them? As a medical student, these medicinal materials are important to me."
Lloyd's beautiful eyes lifted slightly, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips. His voice was indifferent as he said, "The things that the Finley family has given away cannot be taken back."
Alisa smiled, feeling satisfied, "It's okay, Mr. Finley..."
She had not finished speaking when Lloyd turned to Brenna and said, "By the way, the engagement banquet between our families will be postponed for ten days."
Upon hearing this, Alisa's smile froze.
What did this mean?
Did Lloyd think she cured Taryn and found her excellent, so he didn't want to marry Gianna and wanted to marry her instead?
Were these ten days to pursue her?
How could this be possible?
Brenna also did not expect Lloyd would suddenly postpone the engagement banquet, and hurriedly asked, "Why is that?"
Lloyd replied calmly, "There are some things that need to be taken care of."
Upon hearing this, Alisa became even more nervous.
Lloyd must not want to marry Gianna, that's why he used an excuse to postpone the engagement banquet.
What should she do?
Should she tell Lloyd now that it wasn't her who cured Taryn?
But looking at those precious medicinal materials...
Aidan has been working on a difficult disease recently, and he needs fifty-year-old ginseng. Lloyd gave her a hundred-year-old one. If she gives it to Aidan, she will gain even more favor from him in the future. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone knows that Aidan has accepted her as his disciple, but they don't know that she is only a peripheral disciple, and there are limits to what she can learn.
Alisa tightened her fingers hanging at her sides and eventually swallowed the unspoken words.
She wanted those medicinal materials!
Lloyd also had to marry Ye Gianna!
"But..."
Brenna wanted to say something, but Lloyd interrupted and said goodbye, "I have things to do, so I must go now."
It wasn't until Lloyd left that Brenna turned her head to look at Alisa.
"Alisa, what's going on?" For no reason, Lloyd suddenly came to thank Alisa for saving a life, and the engagement banquet was postponed.
She felt inexplicably panicked.
Alisa bit her lip, her face pale. "Grandma, I think it's because I cured Mr. Finley's little sister that he suddenly changed his mind and started paying attention to me! What should I do? If the Finley family forces me to marry him, then I..."
"No way!" Brenna stood up abruptly. "You cannot marry him!"
Although Lloyd made a move of 10 thousand dollars, he was still ultimately a waste.
Alisa had to marry the best man who could make the Geller family more glorious.
Her ambition was not in Rheinsville City, but in Reland!
Alisa was her trump card! She had to rely on her to make the Geller family in Reland stand out!
"But..." Alisa lowered her head and murmured softly, "Mr. Finley kept looking at me just now. He may have already made up his mind."
Brenna's face looked very ugly, and she paced back and forth on the spot.
Alisa did not disturb her.
After a moment, Brenna stopped walking and said to Alisa, "Then let them make something out of nothing."
Alisa was startled, 'What do you mean, Grandma?
"You can call Mr. Finley and invite him to attend Libby's birthday banquet."
"Will he come?" Alisa was somewhat skeptical.
If it were her own birthday, and she invited Lloyd, he would definitely come.
But this was Libby's birthday after all.
"If someone else invited, he might not come, but you saved his little sister. He will come," Brenna said with conviction.
Seeing this, Alisa nodded. "Okay, I got it."
