After all, Walter was the director of the Department of Health. It was normal for him to think that way.Frederick wouldn't insist on treating Francis either. Being pushy would only make him appear too desperate.Medical practitioners were prideful people. Frederick couldn't bring shame to his tutor!Francis kicked Walter. "Bullshit! Has the hospital ever found out what was wrong with me?"Have you seen how skilled Mr. York was at assessing the Dragon's Tear root? Ancient doctors never had medical licenses either. Why don't you help them register for one instead?"Walter was stunned by Francis' words. He didn't think it meant anything. Farmers were skilled at assessing Dragon's Tear roots as well, but that didn't mean they could treat patients. Besides, medical licenses didn't even exist in ancient times.The other workers burst out laughing upon seeing Francis kick their director and hearing Francis' mocking words. Walter glared at them, and they immediately shut their mouths
Frederick was exasperated. He thought that Scarlett had incredibly sharp ears to be able to hear Quinny through the phone. He explained, "That was the patient's granddaughter."Scarlett pursed her lips and clicked her tongue. "I see. So, the old man has a granddaughter. If my guess is right, his granddaughter's a young beauty with long, slim legs, isn't she."Frederick looked Quinny up and down. She looked just like Scarlett described. Dumbfounded, he asked, "How did you know?"Scarlett giggled and replied, "I could tell from her voice."Frederick's eyes widened. She could tell from Quinny's voice? Her ears were more powerful than radars!After dealing with Scarlett, Frederick returned to treat Francis.Francis felt disgusted upon seeing the blood-stained room they were in. "Dr. York, how about I invite you to my house first? I'm sure it won't be convenient for you to treat me here either."Frederick looked around the room. It wasn't a place suitable for him to treat patients,
Francis nodded upon hearing his words. Frederick was right. Francis always felt tired after selling his kidney, but he thought it was normal.But when he reached 40, he started balding. After he reached 50 years old, he would run out of breath while walking. That went on to be as bad as now.Francis immediately asked, "Dr. York, what do I need to eat to cure my condition?"Frederick shook his head. "Eating medicine won't treat your condition."I'll teach you several moves. If you do them twice every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, your condition will improve within three days."Upon hearing that medicine wasn't needed and that he only needed to make some moves to treat his illness, Francis was happy.Walter narrowed his eyes as he stared at Frederick warily. He thought that Frederick was a scammer who taught yoga poses instead of selling health products.Those who sold health products would at least give them something concrete. Those who taught yoga poses only
After bidding Francis farewell, Frederick started to head to where Tyger was to treat him. Suddenly, his phone rang. Frederick pulled it out to see that he had received a call from an unknown number.When he answered the call, someone asked in a hurry, "Is that you, Frederick?"Frederick could tell that it was June. "Yes, it's me. How did you get my number?"Frederick married Priscilla when June was a freshman in high school. The Miller family didn't buy her a phone when she was still in high school because they feared that it would affect her grades.The way the Miller family raised June was indeed old school. Even kids had phones nowadays. June only got her phone when Priscilla bought her one as a graduation gift the other day.June asked for Frederick's phone number back then, but Priscilla dodged her question and left while saying she had a meeting to attend.When she got home, she heard Marianne say that Frederick and Priscilla were getting divorced. It gave her such a huge
However, David was still wearing a mask even though they were meeting at a restaurant. Priscilla found it a little strange.David asked, "Ms. Miller, why isn't your sister here?"Priscilla felt a headache coming on at the mention of June's name. June threw a tantrum before they left home, saying David was a bad person. That was why Priscilla came with Grace instead."She was a little ill."David was slightly disappointed that the younger one wasn't there. But upon thinking that he could still have Priscilla and Grace, David was excited. Although Grace wasn't as pretty, it was still better than nothing.David pulled out a decanter filled with wine and said, "This is the wine I specially prepared for the both of you. Please have a taste."Then, he fetched them two wine glasses and poured each of them a glassful.Grace asked warily, "Dr. Jackson, why aren't you drinking? Besides, why aren't you taking off your mask?"David covered his face reflexively upon hearing her words. He im
Grace was stunned upon hearing Priscilla's words. She knew Priscilla well, and Priscilla was civilized and kind. Why would she suddenly say things like that to David?Grace turned back to look at David. David wore a mask on his face, but it did seem like he was leering at them in a disgusting way. David was not angered by Priscilla's words at the slightest, because he could discern from Priscilla's condition—a slightly flushed face and a lack of brain-to-mouth filter—that she was affected by the drugs. While Priscilla spoke, she felt dizzy and disoriented. She wanted to stand up, but her head felt so heavy atop her neck, and she ended up collapsing heavily onto the stool.Grace, who was beside her, realized that something wasn't right. She got up, trying to rouse Priscilla, only to feel overcome by a wave of dizziness herself.Looking at David, who was smiling like a villain whose evil plan had been successful, Grace had a sudden realization. She pointed at David in shock, sayin
Frederick had a frown on his face before noticing David's actions. His face darkened, and he appeared in front of David immediately after, moving as unnoticeably as a ghost. David was still completely befuddled; he had not managed to react to Frederick's presence yet. Looking at David's disgusting face, Frederick could not find it in himself to hit the man at all, as he feared that his hands would be dirtied. Instead, he landed a violent kick on David, sending him flying. When David landed, his body toppled the massive round table in the room. He lay on the ground, whining in pain as he failed to climb up. David felt like his intestines had been punctured by the kick, and his stomach roiled in pain. While watching Frederick's actions, Grace clapped listlessly. "Great job."Frederick did not want to give her any response. He took out his set of silver needles, wanting to rid Priscilla's body of the drugs she had ingested.When Grace saw that, she asked excitedly, "You know h
Frederick inserted the needle into Grace's body. This was Grace's first time seeing Frederick in action, and it seemed that he really was somewhat capable. However, as far as she was concerned, this was about the extent of Frederick's prowess in medicine—getting drugs out of her system.That was less than what an ordinary doctor could do, so what use did his skills have? Regardless of what she thought, she kept on praising Frederick. "Wow, you're so good at this, Frederick! "I've always thought of you as an exceptional person, and I've always been convincing Priscilla to not divorce you. Just wait, I'll convince her further when I can move my body again."Frederick's face darkened as he listened to Grace's insincere words. He said coldly, "Shut up!"Grace shut up immediately. She thought indignantly, "I won't need to be at your mercy when I can move my body again, and I'll surely curse you to the end of the world so as to vent my resentment!"Frederick withdrew the needles a
