Chapter 233
"Fainted?" Maria tried to recall what had happened.
"I remember going out for a walk, then suddenly my stomach hurt. | was just about to head hto use the
bathroom... | don't remember anything after that." The next thing she knew, she was lying on the bed at Willow
Creek Clinic.
"You had food poisoning, but it's not severe, and we caught it early. I'll prescribe smedicine. You'll be fine
after a couple of days of rest," Yolanda explained. "Food poisoning?" Maria was perplexed.
"Honey, you need to stop eating expired foods!" Darius urged.

"| didn't though..." Maria responded, still confused.
"You're always remindingnot to eat expired things, and today when | cleaned the house, | threw away all the
expired snacks! Besides, we had lunch together. | haven't eaten anything else since. If it was food poisoning,
how could | be the only one affected?"
Darius paused. After realizing the inconsistency, he turned to Yolanda and asked, "That's right, doc. We ate the
sfood. How could she get food poisoning if she didn't secretly eat any expired snacks?"
"If the food was fine, it could be worth checking the water or drinks at home," Yolanda suggested thoughtfully.
"Also, at your age, please try to avoid drinking strong tea." She then reminded them, "If you're concerned, come
back to Willow Creek Clinic for regular check-ups. We offer free health exams."
Previously, Baxter had offered discounts and free health check-ups for long-tresidents living near the clinic.
After Yolanda took over, she continued this tradition.
"Thank you..." Darius murmured. He was now deep in thought as he considered if any drinks at hcould have
led to the food poisoning.
"By the way, doctor, what's your name?" Darius suddenly realized he didn't know the young doctor's name.
"I'm Yolanda Henderson."
Dunstan explained from the side, "Mr. Singer, she took over the clinic from Dr. Pattinson and is now the owner of
Willow Creek Clinic. But don't worry. Aside from a more skilled doctor taking charge, nothing else has changed.

"I see..." Darius nodded. "Dr. Henderson, we'll be depending on you to take care of us old people from now on."
"Please don't worry about it," Yolanda replied as she wrote Maria's prescription and handed it to Dunstan to
prepare the medication. "Dr. Pattinson and | will take turns seeing patients. If you feel unwell, just cstraight
over."
"Okay," Darius replied. He then reached for his wallet. "How much are the medical fees and the medicine?"
"Please pay at the front desk. Let Mrs. Singer rest here for a bit. Once Dunstan finishes preparing the medicine,
you can take it hwith you."
"Thank you, Dr. Henderson!"
Darius slowly got up and went to the front desk to pay.
After treating Maria, Yolanda went to wash her hands. By the tshe cback, Gavin had arrived with his car.
